Take my advice: This is going to be one wild ride!
Another National Signing Day (NSD) is just around the corner and just like the opening ceremony at the Olympic Games every few years you never know quite what to expect. However, we can be almost certain that head games, hat games, misdirection plays, double switches and some dirty dealing and double crossing are definitely on the agenda.
The only thing that is clear is that at some designated time in the early morning hours of Wednesday, February 6 the NCAAwill declare NSD open for business at college campuses all around the Nation with what basically amounts to a loud proclamation of: "Let the Games begin!"
Fax machines will begin to whir as they spring to life with what is the life blood of any college football team: A National Letter of Intent (NOI) from high school seniors and JUCO players across the Country.
Both coaches and fans alike will alternately cheer and curse as the news of who signs where comes out in rapid-fire succession as each NOI is received and formally approved by the compliance departments at each school. Spontaneous celebrations of joy will break out and a few cell phones will be smashed in mad desperation about the one that got away.
To follow the fast-paced action, of course you can tune into Canespace as our recruiting gurus will be on hand all day to report each official "Welcome to The U!" as it is announced. In addition, we strongly encourage Hurricane fans to check out these exciting options that the University of Miami athletic department is offering Hurricane fans on NSD 2013:
Both HurricaneSports.com and ESPN3 will provide live Signing Day Coverage of the Miami Hurricanes footballprogram. The Voice of the Miami Hurricanes, Joe Zagacki, and color analyst Don Bailey Jr. will host a live Signing Day show from 8:30-10 a.m. on HurricaneSports.comas NLIs begin rolling in on Wed., Feb. 6. ESPN3 will then pick up national coverage from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m.Joe Z and DBJ will interview head coach Al Goldenand the Hurricanes assistant coaches in addition to Miami’s early enrollees and some of its current stars. As Miami receives each NLI, HurricaneSports.com will have video highlights, recruiting rankings and assistant coaches on camera to talk about the Hurricanes’ Class of 2013 additions.
Coach Golden will address the media for National Signing Day press conference at 4 p.m., followed by the Hurricanes’ Fan Signing Day Party from 5-7 p.m. at Buffalo Wild Wings in Sunset Place.
However you choose to spend your National Signing Day we recommend that you buckle up tight. It is sure to be one wild and crazy ride all day long.
Lmao @OGV
Take Mc of off Ginnis. BRILLIANT

Ale House...look, I love U buddy and RESPECT your positive comments and agree with some of your opinions, but I have to advise U NOT to tangle with OGV or he will back U into a corner and then wordsmith U to a slow and bitter death.
I'm jus sayin...

I am not sure I am smart enough to understand all of what you wrote.(you are very good at it)What i am sure of is it was negative.Funny thing is I never understand what Gallo is talking about either.A smart person just showed up at the drinking spot and says he is a pro blogger like you and will try to help me out.He started the fire fulmer blog the fire kiffin blog and the fire dooley blog.He is trying to start the fire Jones blog but has been banned from Vol nation.

U know, some days I am on the blog ALL day long and I wonder if it is any good. Other days, I am NOT on the blog at all, and then I am certain it is VERY good.
What does that mean? LOL
Posted by: SOUP | January 30, 2013 at 08:47 PM
McGinnis,
Don't sweat it. OGV's just having fun. He actually hopes D'No succeeds but he doubts that he will. He just knows his skills will have to improve for the defense to reach championship status. He's just intellegently but politically incorrectly joking about it. I love his style though. He's my alter ego. He's like all fruit & I'm like good ol' jelly. Lol
We'll piss you off if you take us too seriously though...
Posted by: CoCane | January 30, 2013 at 08:51 PM
86 thanks for the advice.I was gonna release "TOMMYVOL" on him.But it would have have been the same old thing.They probably would have started liking each other after they found all the things they have in common.I do stand by my point personal attacks about a cane coach and his family
do not belong on this blog. I WILL SHUT UP ABOUT IT ENOUGH SAID.

See? Now that's the ale house I know and love! Well played there, I'll have another.
I hope The Pimp remembered his deer antler extract spray for tonight, might need it to fight off all those jangling scary keys to the outhouses being held up in the stands.

Well if you get it, then you got. Lol

Somebody buy OGV some punctuation. He's in desperate need of periods and commas. Anybody that says they actually understood that one sentence paragraph up there is lying. Unless you speak in some other language on Canespace and I just haven't learned it. I actually have to agree with Alehouse in one respect, some of OGV's writings are very negative and demeaning towards D'Onofrio. Just my opinion.
Posted by: Canesfan_1 | January 30, 2013 at 09:08 PM
Larkin 2 blocked shots in a row.
we are taking too many long range jumpers early in the shot clock....they came to play

When you coach a prestigous defensive program to 116th out of 120 teams, you're not going to get many compliments
Posted by: CoCane | January 30, 2013 at 09:17 PM
Later guys going to play some "RISK"ON POGO
I have defend my rank.Thanks for the support its a battle I for one am tired of fighting!go canes

Canes B ball is on, VT really is shooting hot, we are a lil off tonight, but our D should start to get control soon. 16-10 VT
Posted by: Hassan | January 30, 2013 at 09:20 PM
VaTech is hittin 3's. Lets see if it continues. I agree Hassan. They need to pound them in the paint. That's where VT is weak.
Posted by: CoCane | January 30, 2013 at 09:23 PM
Jekiri plays his role well.
Posted by: Hassan | January 30, 2013 at 09:23 PM
22-14 VT, 9:00
lets go Canes
Posted by: Hassan | January 30, 2013 at 09:26 PM
Oh, tag.
Punctuation on a blog being criticized and someone else can't take a joke about how poor the football coaching is at UM.
Your D'No plushie just rushed three on 3rd and 15 or more C_1, time to go tell him how pretty he looks with his eyes puffing out from his head about to explode at plushie Tracy Howard.

LMAO @ OGV!
OGV is ETERNALLY! disdainful of D'Onofrio.

The crowd has them rattled so far. They're missing a lot of open shots too.

Miami 29

This is going to be one of those dig down deep games
Posted by: CGNC | January 30, 2013 at 09:54 PM
Larkin really pulled us back with his seven points but that last possession was really killer. Would've liked to see a tie game or down one at half.

Yes i am...Usually i get the live stream with
First Row Sports online but the scratched the game off their schedule at last minute like they did against FSU...I am at the Airport now...Too bad i will have to rely on the score updates here or elsewhere...Thanks everybody.
Posted by: Montreal-Cane | January 30, 2013 at 10:26 PM
Plushie? Huh? I am no D'Onofrio fan but we're stuck with the guy, for next season anyway. So just close your eyes and try to enjoy it. It could be worse, we could still have the last guy as coach. Now that's a scary thought.
Posted by: Canesfan_1 | January 30, 2013 at 10:27 PM
52-45 biggest lead for the canes 9 mins left
Posted by: Hassan | January 30, 2013 at 10:29 PM

Wow! I am becoming a true believer in this Canes team! This is a trap game. Canes taking control!!!
