What Are U Thankful For?

On this Thanksgiving Day I thought I would list some of the things that I am thankful for. So here is my shortlist of things that I appreciate:

I am thankful for my degree from the University of Miami and the fun and exciting time I spent on campus back in the glory days of the 1980s.

I am thankful for Al Golden, who in spite of unforeseen and difficult circumstances, has shown his true grit and leadership as he toughed out a challenging first two years as head coach at Miami.

I am thankful for living in a Country where the election process still works.

I am thankful for UM baseball coach Jim Morris and the two National Championships he has won at The U (1999, 2001).

I am thankful for my loving wife, a supportive family and caring friends.

I am thankful for all of the Miami Hurricane fans that show up at Sun life Stadium on a regular basis and yell their throats sore each and every game.

I am thankful for the great memories that UM athletics has provided me and for all of those still to come.

I am thankful for every day and every sunrise and sunset I get to see.

I am thankful for coaches Jim Larranaga and Katie Meier and the UM men's and women's basketball teams they produce.

I am thankful for role models like Mike James who show that student-athletes can still be both. I wish all Hurricanes could be like Mike.

I am thankful to have a decent job when so many good people are jobless.

I am thankful for players like Duke Johnson who thrill the crowd every time they touch the ball. There is no doubt that Duke is the Truth.

I am thankful for players like Anthony Chickillo,Tyriq McCord, Denzel Perryman, Eddie Johnson, Tracy Howard and Deon Bush who will make Miami's defense feared once again.

Now I want to know: What are U thankful for?

My liver is thankful that the home slate is finished because it couldn't take much more of what I was doing to it this fall. I'm thankful that Dumbo Fishead blew the best chance he'll probably ever have to win a national championship in the state capital. I'm thankful that the Mayan or Aztec or whatever calender is wrong and that UM will have next year to try and return to its rightful prominence in college football where it belongs.

I told him to just get in touch with me whenever he calmed down LOL

Happy Turkey Day Canespacers!

Thankful for:

1. My daughters health - in the past 12 months, she has dealt with a diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes and a lower lumbar stress fracture that threatened a promising athletic future (she's 13). She''s healthy today; doing amazing taking care of the diabetes & her back gets stronger every day.

2. My family's (sister & brother in law) safe return from their 3rd combat deployments in Iraq/Afghanistan.

3. Safe & healthy birth of new nephew 5 days ago.

4. My own safe returns from deployments many moons ago when on active duty.

5. Those 5 wonderful championships our CANES delivered!

Lastly and this may be a little bit of a suck-up...

I'm thankful that 86 expends so much of his time & energy providing Canespace & all the information found here. Great job! That goes to Hassan, Ohio, Solarcane, CGNC, OGV (even tho I grew exhausted with his posts this season around, oh the 2nd week!), and everyone else I've left out that contributes. Thank you.

We all have so much to be thankful for in this country. It's good to stop for a moment and realize that.

Go CANES!

### Former Hurricanes are lashing out at the NCAA for threatening to believe Nevin Shapiro if ex-players don’t talk to the NCAA. “The NCAA is a joke,” Greg Olsen, who wasn’t accused of violations, said on Twitter. “Assume guilt if kids don’t agree to talk to you? Are we not still in America?” Olsen’s tweet was re-tweeted by Jonathan Vilma and Kellen Winslow Jr., who were accused of violations by Shapiro and Yahoo!

Packers executive and Canes great Alonzo Highsmith ranted on Twitter: “Trying to understand why Miami is allowing the NCAA to run roughshod over the program… At some point, [UM president] Donna [Shalala] needs to take a stand. Amazing a school like Miami won’t stand up to the cartel and tell them to bring it! Now it’s time to tell them what you think and fight.

“The NCAA hates Miami anyway, so why would you think they were going to be fair to Miami? They [couldn’t] care less about self-imposing and they want our [butt]. Bet Vilma is glad he didn’t listen to all those jack offs [in the NFL bounty base] about sitting and not fighting? Some people have no balls.”

Olivier Vernon, who served a six-game suspension last year after meeting with the NCAA, said: “They’re believing a liar, and to do this during the season? It’s ridiculous.” Said Lamar Miller, who wasn’t accused of violations: “It’s unfair. It’s crazy.”

### Though he will be rumored for several jobs, Al Golden sounds genuine when he says: “The thing people don’t understand and accept is I want to be here for a really long time. We’re destined for great things here. I like the people, diversity, climate, urban setting, [proximity] to the Keys. My kids enjoy it. My wife is happy. Miami fits who we are.” He’s signed through Feb. 1, 2020.
