Yep that was Goudis!!!

SOUP

Matt "Da Money Man" Goudis.

Love that guy!

Fish

I can rest my head tonight knowing Bunche is not hurt ! And we got a kicker!!

Montreal-Cane

Ryan Williams has improved a lot.

SmatCane

Look forward to more information as it comes out.

Love that Coley is already making an impact.

Goudis is important. I'm glad he is excelling we will need him to win win at least one game this year.

Don't underestimate the importance of Deon Bush either. Perryman has to be the leader upfront but we need a guy in the back who can do it all. Communicate, Cover, and Crush people with imposing tackles. He must be smart, resourceful and intimidating.

We all know that Dline is the key to a BCS season. Pray our strength program, health, and added depth are on our side.

Tim Tebow 1-3 -3yds can you say cut ! I was worried about Williams for next year but I think he grown a lot as QB in the past year.

Canesfan_1

Miami fans 70% for UF game, minimum. There will be NO MORE than approx 25,000 gators at Sun Life. That's still a lot, by the way.

I've been to every home game for years, and normally fSU fans number no more than 30%, at least at the start of the game. Once we start to lose to FSU in the past, our fans become quieter, theirs become louder and then after a while, it might be 50/50, but that's cause a lot of ours have checked out.

I'll bet real money it's canes 70/30 for the gaytors game. Any takers?

UpNorthCane27

Marcus Forston beastin on my Pats line right now i like i like it......

That boy Coley single handidly is gonna take are of those gaytors i put money on that..!!!

How much longer will UM case take? How long does Dyron Dye have to wait?

Uh-huh, oh yeah!

Terrance Sullivan

I am encouraged to hear about Goudis. A good kicking game will help us in at least two games. Making field goals and great punting by O'Donnell to flip the field is very important to our season.

Montreal-Cane

Uh-huh, oh yeah!

Your IQ is getting higher.

Clwtrdan

Deon's good. But don't underestimate Rayshawn Jenkins.

VA Cane

I really like MJ. He was not a star here, not really. He has heart discipline respect work ethic and is a world class human being. Remember when his mom passed? How did he do what he did? Never question authority, give 150% on and off the field, never complain, or boast....god what a coach would give to have kids like him...I mean MEN!!!

If anybody makes it....I want him to....Smiley one of the greats of UM without question!!!!

Sarasota 'cane

Goudis is the truth!

Go 'canes!

CoCane

Not much detail given about the scrimmage. From the info available, it seems like the secondary got shredded. Nothing said about the Duke & the RB's. Maybe the front 7 had the ground game on lock. I hope. If we can't stop the air, we have to at least stop the ground. Something must be taken away by our D. Dam I'm nervous about that side of the ball...

SmatCane

I feel you Co... If we don't see minimal progress we see a similar record on a pretty weak schedule.

WWIN

All the coaches been talking bout everyday is Burns, Coley, Figs, and AQM. So those are EASY LOF picks

Terrance Sullivan

The good thing is we all will start to find out on August 30th and going forward what type of defense and team in general we have 13 days till the march to Charlotte. Go Canes!

Sarasota 'cane

You should be nervous about that side of the ball coke! We've all been saying all year that the defense was a year or two off. Nothing changed over the summer that I'm aware of that would move that time frame up.
I still think they can be a top 40-60 squad which should be good enough to win the Coastal with a superior offense and special teams.

Go 'canes!

How about strength, size, experience, and about 10 new players? ???

VA Cane

Thanks Monty, hes great and I pull for him!!!

We should be worried about the D....we can only go on past #s and performance...first game don't mean nothing....I hate UF but they are the stick to measure by....we got to get after the QB...bust peoples ass up front..Lbs got to fill and wrap up...and we have to cover....you have to want to punch people in the face, scare them, get in their head, beat their damn ass on D...you hurt people physically...its awful but a FACT of Life...if your D beats peoples AZZZZZZZZ you score 24 a game you win going away....we got to get after it.....

VA Cane

I don't need a great O that puts up 50 a game like Oregon BS football....F#@k Them!!!! I need 24 or so a game....and a D that rips peoples heads off and S*#ts in their necks...DAMN I want to hurt people....UF people ND people FSU people I want to punish them dammit...we got the O....we have to have D...I hate pretty O...just score some points run the F@%king ball then pass it big time...give me an executioner D...that kills.....we will win big..........JMO

SmatCane

I would be happy just seeing a slight semblance of a pass rush.

The Dude

VA Cane, I hope you don't think I was upset with you bro. I love your comments on football and you are right in comparing the NCAA to our government. They screw things up with their "good intentions."

OGV, did they ever open extra seats like they are doing for the game against UF? Idk, I haven't been to a game in years. Plus from TV it looked like a ton of Noles fans in '11? I just can't remember as much buzz for a game in Miami for a long time.

Some people on this blog (especially CANEZILLA and OldSkool) are so funny sometimes its like its scripted. Like people are just setting them up on purpose to say something funny.

It gets em to top 50, maybe slightly better. They are still a year or two off what we consider a "great", "classic" Miami defense.

Don't get me wrong Willie I love what I see, but that squad is still the Achilles Heel of the team. If they can improve to become a top 50 or better defense then they should win the Coastal. Once we see what Clemson, VT, and FSU bring to the table this season then we'll be able to evaluate whether UM can make a run at the conference. In my opinion of course!

Go 'canes!!

Terrance Sullivan

Well Sarasota VT is in our division and we host them so if we win the Coastal and we should or I will be pissed. Then in Charlotte whether its a rematch with FSU or Clemson we can see is our Canes good enough to be ACC Champs and play in the BCS Discover Orange Bowl at home. Go Canes!

Anthonyjmanis

Whose the hot milf with the little princess of the U in the pic? I know the milf will be at the Hampton and I bet we hook up😉! What's the roll call for the FAU game? I know were coming in early from good ol lake county to go the beaches. So I was wondering who and when will y'all be at the hotel. Andrew Mains aka Atl cane you better earn your swagger and get a first or ask Soup via blog to bring one you could buy. Me and Becky(altered)will be rocking ours come gameday. Favorite spacers to meet. 1.T.Sully,2.OGV and 3.Cocane I've meet Ocala at his coffee house and met with 86 a few times. Ah two weeks from now I will be hammered at the hotel blogging with the spacers not here.

Terrance Sullivan

Bro its gonna be a blast mane looking forward to meeting ya ^^^^^^^.

Old Skool

According to USA Today, Ryan Braun is ready to admit that he used PEDs in parts of the 2011 season—the same year he was crowned National League MVP and led the Brewers to the NLCS.

BigWindyCane1

Feeling pretty good about the canes this year. I am positive they will make dramatic improvements on defense and will be a top 40 defense. The offense will be explosive and they will win the coastal division. I even see them winning the ACC because Golden hss them ready both physically and mentally. Let's go Canes!

LB

I like the defensive personnel, but I absolutely do not trust D'Onofrio. His stats at Temple show a low ceiling. His verbage in the preseason also have me worried, specifically his lack of accountability. Golden, however, takes accountability for everything... including the day when Randy Shannon got fired.

If talent in Golden's system can transcend the defensive coordinator, I'll start to trust him. Until then, I'll reserve judgment (like Coley).

What gets me excited about 2013 is not the defense, but the SCHEDULE. I don't think you all understand how well the 2013 opposition stacks up for us. These are mostly all teams in major transition, injuries, or just terrible teams.

It's also noteworthy to state that this team has yet to win a BIG GAME against top 25 competition. Possible exceptions:

2011, Ohio State (finished 6-7); Georgia Tech (8-5, beat then #5 Clemson)
2012, Virginia Tech (7-6)

That's why I'm not going to go insane and proclaim a 12-0 season. UM has two chances to win big games... those effing Noles and the Gators (if law enforcement can somehow procure a roster large enough).

Yet given our personnel, anything less than 8 wins and an outright Coastal title is an absolute failure and should result in multiple firings... but it also seems a bit unrealistic.

The team's ceiling seems about 10 wins, due to lack of postseason experience and lingering questions on the defense.

Barring injuries, I think nine wins and an ACC Championship appearance is absolutely logical and realistic. As long as they win their bowl game, I'm happy with it. That also puts UM with ten wins and in a top 12-15 postseason ranking with plenty of off-season momentum as we make a QB transition.

On another note: Ryan Williams! looks a LOT better. No joke. Dude looks sharp.

LB

Oh, and despite the fact that some of you love your five-stars...

...FSU is starting a true freshman at QB. With the Canes looking to establish an identity and exact some vengeance, I'll be very interested in this one.

Especially considering that FSU is the source of all evil.

SOUP

1. She looks even hotter in person, but I'm jus sayin.

2. The expression on the face of the little princess is PRICELESS!

3. Roll call for FAU is: Anthony, DeeCane, Terrance and 86Cane as far as I know right now. It gets crazy for the UF and FSU game at home and away when we will have at least 10 prople at each game. Should be more!

SOUP

There IT is right there.

But WWIN just kicked U off the 12% bus.

LB

It's all good, Soupers.

And yes, FSU is the source of all evil.

SmatCane

I subscribe to LBs comment. The bottome line.. The majority of the teams we play hovered at 500 or worse last year. I think 3 teams were more than a game above 500. We know UF and FSU are two. If I'm not mistaken UNC was 8-4. That makes 3. You win one of those 3 and win the rest you should its a 10 win season and a trip to an ACc ship.

I honestly believe unless Morris goes down we have no excuse.

orange 'n green in the vein

The Dude, I have never seen the four corner tarps off in any game I've been to at Sun Life. I was in the student section endzone for FSU last year and was surrounded by Semenhole fans on two sides at least four deep and almost had to take an overactive 'chopper' or five behind me off their saddles, squaws included, UF will be slightly worse but at least the chomp is a vertical, not horizontal, offensive hand gesture. Don't underestimate the profit seekers on the secondary market cashing in to the highest bidder who happens to be wearing blue with their orange.

The most disturbing thing about the defense I've heard so far from camp? Still talking about having to improve tackling in general and pursuit to the ball in particular. I hear that and the first thing I think, line still is a sieve, linebackers still aren't getting down free running backs when they burst through the blocking up front unhindered, safeties are still making tackles on their own to save touchdowns/finally stop progress on big rushing gains. Basically, the same problems last year UM and GT had with this scheme that led to the bees to firing Golden's old boss in the middle of the season and it'll be a miracle if Miami to average < 175 yards a game on the ground, which means lower 46 ranking in total defense and yet another tie breaker for the division if they're lucky and no injuries to key offensive pieces occur.

Morris going down with an injury isn't saving anybody anything, just like Harris going down in '10 didn't cut Shannon any slack, welcome to non-MAC football, you need a competent coordinator here but especially on the defensive side of the ball.

Flying in for Canes vs Terds game on Sept 7. Staying at hotel by Ft. Lauderdale airport. Don't have parking pass. What is best solution to get to game and back....rental car, taxi, or bus? Parking passes look to be $100 then add rental car fee of $100 a day. Taxi to and from can't cost $200 can it?
Or should I switch hotels? closest Marriott property looks like 6 miles away from Sunlife.

First name Randy...nickname Duke...last name Johnson. That is all.

SmatCane

OGV. As smart as you are about football the same things can be said across the landscape of college football right now. Each super fan is stressing over how their offense or defense fairs in a scrimmage. It's all conjecture until the season starts. I played football at high levels so I understand your frustration and disdain but I feel sorry for you if you have no optimism for this season. I know this season has excellent potential and I'm positive about the progress I've seen in players through Goldeb's program.

Canesfan_1

Some people are optimists, some are pessimists, some have an agenda.

Anybody that continues to bang on this team, and even make up stories about our best or 2nd best player not caring about winning and partying too much, well that's just an agenda.

Insisting that our rivals UF/FSU go 50/50 or outnumber us at the stadium, well maybe that's just a pessimistic attitude, since past history shows a 70/30 split.

In any event, attitude is a choice. You can choose to be a bitter and miserable person and choose to ignore what's around you or take a positive approach and hope for the best.
