With the U.S. Presidential election coming up in November it appears to us that these are your two choices: wide right or wide left. For some strange reason that sounds a lot like the Miami vs FSU series now doesn't it?
We say Miami wins 31 - 30. And just for fun, FSU misses wide LEFT. Again.
If you are attending Saturday's Homecoming game against Florida State then be sure to pick up your limited edition poster commemorating the 25th anniversary of the 1987 national champion Miami Hurricanes.
Fans can pick up their poster at various sponsor stations throughout the Fan Zone inside the Grand Plaza at Sun Life Stadium. If you pick yours up outside the stadium, you and place it in your car before the game for safe keeping. The commemorative posters will also be available at the Miami Herald subscription tables inside the stadium.
Parking lots open at 1 p.m. Plan to arrive at Sun Life Stadium early and be sure to get your 25th anniversary commemorative poster. For parking and traffic updates throughout the day, follow the official Twitter account for the Miami Hurricanes, @HurricaneSports.
I BELIEVE in this coach and team!
I see us winning 3 of 4! 7-5 improvement indeed!! Good showing lastnight for the D! The D will continue to improve and we WILL finish strong!

One thing no one has mentioned is that we have not had a buy week yet. A lot of other schools have already had one, or in some cases two (temple). Doesn't factor against Fsu though, as they have played 7 games in a row as well.

Willie Will - I like you and respect your opinions BUT when someone disagrees like me or Zakkee about Morris as QB you don't have to get defensive about it. Zakkee's points are valid. I still think 17 is ok but he is not GREAT - he has flashes during the game when he is and then POOF its gone and he is like that bad ankle or not. What we need is good\great right now with all the other things going on and we just don't have that.
Team fought hard last night. That's all I really asked for
Posted by: CGNC | October 21, 2012 at 08:17 AM
I like Golden personally but he can't coach schematically
We cannot pull an upset thru adjustments and out scheming an opposing coach. Like Tommy Tuberville does yearly.
All the kids have is heart and determination, the intellectual piece isn't there from the coaches.

What do you think Butch was when he first came???
Posted by: WWIN | October 21, 2012 at 02:23 AM
The game was ok- stayed off twitter, the blog just so I could enjoy it as much as possible. The good news: McCord, no penalties, took advantage of some mistakes, Morris showed a ton of heart and guts. Bad: too many short passes (because of Morris health, play calling, defense by FSU took away the intermediate and deep routes?), just never got the running game going, Gaines just doesn't belong anywhere outside of special teams, OL broke down, DL got worn down. Hopefully this game sets us up for Va Tech, win that one and we're likely to win the rest.

Could have been a blowout. This is a good young team tho. I'm very confident in golden.
Posted by: LaQuinton | October 21, 2012 at 02:04 AM
I saw a good game. Didn't win and the offense was inept and the play calling was wayy too conservative
Posted by: LaQuinton | October 21, 2012 at 02:01 AM
Posted by: Zakkee | October 21, 2012 at 01:12 AM
Have you ever seen players not play for a certain qb. Let me explain it to ya, J12 came in with the infamous 08 class, who do you think they wanted to play for?? Before you answer let me mind you that these are the same players that declared for the draft without any feedback. I guarantee they made him look good in practice on purpose. And if it wasn't for Streeter he would have thrown almost the same amount of int's that he usually does. As a coach you play the qb that the players are going to play for.
So which side are you on so we can get this clear, you Golden or not???
Posted by: WWIN | October 21, 2012 at 01:52 AM
SOUP, IF.
Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | October 21, 2012 at 01:44 AM
We need 2 more wins and a self imposed bowl ban and an amazing recruiting class and an amazing offseason workout. Next year an ACC conference championship game or bust.
Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | October 21, 2012 at 01:42 AM
VTech sucks and we will probably lose to them. We could beat Duke, USF and UVA.
Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | October 21, 2012 at 01:38 AM
Dude it ain't done yet. IF Golden wins 6 games he gets the LIFETIME contract. If not he goes to South Beach. Either way he wins!
Posted by: SOUP | October 21, 2012 at 01:35 AM
No lifetime contract for Goldie. 3 game skid. Butch Davis is the answer. No more experimental coaches at Miami please.

Posted by: panamacitycane | October 21, 2012 at 01:15 AM
So who did Miami play and what was the score?
Posted by: SOUP | October 21, 2012 at 01:13 AM
If they played Jacory only because he was a senior, hen that is a clear indictment of the coaching staff you support. What about performance, how they practice, film study, and accountability?
They played Jacory Harris over Morris ONLY because he had been in college longer? LOL! Why would support coaches that would make that kind of decision?
They played Jacory because he had the ability to go thru progressions and play "smarter" than Morris.
What about our first loss to South Florida ever?
Posted by: Zakkee | October 21, 2012 at 01:12 AM
Posted by: Willie Will in Nashville | October 21, 2012 at 12:58 AM
Agree.
Posted by: Montreal-Cane | October 21, 2012 at 01:00 AM
This is the only reason Jacory played over his arm strength and athleticism.
Posted by: Zakkee | October 21, 2012 at 12:41 AM
Jacory being a senior is the only reason why he played over him and that made no sense at all. Morris won that competition in the sun bowl against notre dame when he came in for him. Plus why wouldn't you play morris last year and he would be twice as better now with that experience
Posted by: WWIN | October 21, 2012 at 12:58 AM
I think Golden needs BCC to play him every week, he'd be good then.
Posted by: orange 'n green in the vein | October 21, 2012 at 12:49 AM
Why is everyone shocked?? We all knew it was going to be a loss. Just be happy it wasnt as bad as it could have been. Yeah defense played better then normal but still gave up too many first downs. And offense lost duke and should have tried williamz half way through the 3rd. But im happy we didnt get too embarassed.
Posted by: panamacitycane | October 21, 2012 at 12:47 AM
The coaches know this about Morris but refuse to help him with a steady running game.
Posted by: Zakkee | October 21, 2012 at 12:43 AM
Again I am not rushing to judgement and I try to be a level headed fan after a loss.
But if I do not see improvement and a high calibar of play in 2 or 3 years then I say the process has failed... that is when most of the current players will either be juniors or seniors and would have plenty of game experience.
2 years in college football feels like an enternity, though.
Posted by: MIA Chi 'Cane '98 | October 21, 2012 at 12:43 AM
Morris decides who he is throwing to when the play is called
If that person isn't open he believes the play is shot and begins to scramble or he throws it anyway.
He doesn't have the mental side of being a QB down yet.
At least 30 plays are wasted per game between the 2nd and 3rd quarters when his brain is seemingly rebooting. Someone is always open...just not the person he is STARING at.
This is the only reason Jacory played over his arm strength and athleticism.
Posted by: Zakkee | October 21, 2012 at 12:41 AM
Everybody please stay away from the "OVER REACTION PILLS" please!!!!!!!
Posted by: WWIN | October 21, 2012 at 12:39 AM
200 plus on the ground surrendered, another week the other team tried to hand the win over and the Philly mutants didn't want to accept it.
FEAR THE LIE!

nemo2002, that is a depressing statement.
Posted by: MIA Chi 'Cane '98 | October 21, 2012 at 12:34 AM
Tough game to watch....again. I think the defense played much better despite still giving up 400+ yards.
The offense just sucked ass tonight....and how bad is Williams if Morris (who arrived to the stadium wearing a fricking boot and took no snaps this week) plays the whole game.
This just in.....Kansas State is DAMN GOOD!!!
Posted by: raizecane | October 21, 2012 at 12:33 AM
Morris is a little off mentally, he plays when he wants (has ADHD) and has distinct lapses of play in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. He stares down receivers and never goes thru his progressions completely. If he was that hurt then Ryan Williams would have played.
Hip flexor and SEVERELY sprained ankle, but did you see the move he made on that pass back to him? He also broke tackles on that run and threw a strike to end the game.
He did have some nice passes that were dropped, but how many plays did he just waste throughout the game.
Posted by: Zakkee | October 21, 2012 at 12:33 AM
The defense is on the rise, the offense is on the decline. NOBODY can blame the D this game, the offense kept them on the field to long. Basic football tells you that if you have 80 yds total for the half chances are the other team will have 175+. This was not close to being a blow out we were competitive the whole game till the end. Florida and lsu do have offense
Posted by: WWIN | October 21, 2012 at 12:32 AM
UF is certainly back - battling for a spot in the national championship game again.
FSU is kinda back - favored to win the ACC and aiming for a BCS bowl game again.
The U is WAY back - ranked 65 in the FBS (before tonight's loss) and hoping to win enough remining games to self-impose a postseason bowl ban again.
Man, this is depressing!
Posted by: nemo2002 | October 21, 2012 at 12:31 AM
We cannot blame Morris. But i can blame the entire coaching staff for this lost. We were in the game and the play calling in the 2nd half has been the worst that i have seen in a long time at Miami. I hope Golden coached his worst game ever if not we are not out of the woods.
Once again why leave an injured Stephen Morris at the end of the 4th. Why do you have Dorsett throwing to Morris for a run? Do they want Morris out for the rest of the season?
Let's get ready for VT... a win will make us happy and a lost will make this season a mediocre one...once again.
Posted by: Montreal-Cane | October 21, 2012 at 12:22 AM
Tired of seeing wasted talent come and go to the NFL. Can't coach them cause we got a penny pincher president.
Posted by: No D | October 21, 2012 at 12:17 AM
Why win today when we can wait till next year. FSU, VT and UNC away from home. I have long since accepted our faith this season. We are not very good and it is what it is. Lots of us had expectations based on all the news coming from the offseason. We have been blown out by every good team we played. We are not going anywhere until that defense is fixed, end of. And anyone want to talk about offense blah blah. Ask LSU, UF and ND where is the offense. Fix the defense!
Posted by: jiggafras | October 21, 2012 at 12:10 AM
Losing to UNC was a bad omen for the U. I'm afraid that we're on a Shannonesque season-ending tailspin.
Posted by: nemo2002 | October 21, 2012 at 12:10 AM
Let's face it, Miami is not the same caliber as FSU, ND, etc. Hell Duke might be on a different level as well. It's frustrating but we all knew deep in our hearts that Miami was not going to win tonight.
Get 2 more wins, decline the bowl bid. Take the sanctions.
If I do not start seeing improvement next year, then I will start to doubt the process. Until then I have to believe.... There has to be hope, right?
Posted by: MIA Chi 'Cane '98 | October 21, 2012 at 12:10 AM
Lets not forget that Morris is injured and she have been playing, and he didn't practice all week, what did you expect from him?? He didn't call the plays all night like passing to a man that hasn't played all year inside the 10 on 3rd and 2. He's not the one calling for a drop back pass on 3rd and 6 against the fastest D they played all year while he's on a bum ankle
Posted by: WWIN | October 21, 2012 at 12:05 AM
So end result is that Miami scores one more point that they did against FSU last year, and gives up 10 more than they did a year ago.
Posted by: TonyCane | October 20, 2012 at 11:58 PM
OGV i will have to start to agree with you about the Golden boy...And my god we still have a big dark cloud coming with the recruiting...I stop here...I will return when i see some lights...

Miami down 13 with about a minute to go. Just like my dream early this morning.
Posted by: TonyCane | October 20, 2012 at 11:54 PM
Here come the excuses.
Is anyone seriously gonna say that we couldn't win this game or the team didn't show up to play?
The kids were ready to be led to victory
and then there was no real plan for victory
Morris didn't lay everything on the line
and Golden's staff can't coach...its simple to see now. We need a miracle every week.
Posted by: Zakkee | October 20, 2012 at 11:53 PM
Not just the depth chart contributing to that BEER.how many yards tonight surrendered?
Posted by: orange 'n green in the vein | October 20, 2012 at 11:53 PM
We wont be back until a real QB is leading us and our OC ad DC are top tier .... Our defense held it down today as much as they could our offense was down right pathetic
Posted by: UpNorthCane27 | October 20, 2012 at 11:52 PM
It would be nice for our O, D and ST to all play complete game. Maybe one game this season?! Next year? 2015?
Posted by: MIA Chi 'Cane '98 | October 20, 2012 at 11:52 PM
How stupid is Al Golden to let Stephen Morris in the game at this point????
Posted by: Montreal-Cane | October 20, 2012 at 11:52 PM
Davon Johnson is the only receiver worth a damn. If that kid doesn't start, the staff has no credibility

Posted by: orange 'n green in the vein | October 20, 2012 at 11:51 PM
I gotta say I believe in the process but Miami looks like a JV team compared to most schools. Every team is faster and quicker and more disciplined plus more talented. I know they are young but...

Posted by: SwagGirl | October 20, 2012 at 10:50 PM
My wife asked the same thing lol. Two players can have the same number if one is on offense and the other is on defense and they can't be on the field at the same time.
Posted by: WWIN | October 20, 2012 at 11:27 PM
Stephen doesn't have the mental poise to be a great QB. He wastes so many plays.
And he is wasting a stellar performance by our O-line especially Seantrel Henderson!
Please get #22 off the field
