Game Day Blog: Miami vs Savannah State

There is a day. There is a game. But really is there much more than that?

Miami vs Savannah State? That is a more like a mild scrimmage.

So here is what we hope for from a meaningless game:

1. Nobody gets hurt.

2. The 'Canes score so many points it's like kids taking a walk in the park.

3. Nobody gets hurt.

4. The UM defense plays smart and plays hard and pitches a shutout.

5. Nobody gets hurt.

6. The UM offense behind QB Gray Crow looks more cohesive and consistent.

7. Nobody gets hurt.

8. The special teams with CaneZilla and LT#36 look really special.

9. Nobody gets hurt.

10. The Canes play so many 2nd and 3rd stringers that you do not even know their names and after tailgating well you don't even care!

[SOUP]

Yes sir Mr. Crowe!

[Terrance Sullivan]

Gray Crow throws 2 TD's in a Miami rout 70-3. Book It. Go Canes!

[Terrance Sullivan]

Please no Injuries.

[Terrance Sullivan]

Also hope Gus goes ham for 150 yards and 2 TD's, and OT scores a Touchdown, and Mo Haggens scores a touchdown, and Allen Hurns score a touchdown guys that do a lot of the dirty work they need to get some shine. Go Canes!

[Hurricane Alley]

U right T Sulli, no injuries, and I do believe it will be a route. I also expect a special teams score or 2.

[Terrance Sullivan]

U already know Alley.

[VA Cane]

GINO TORETTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hello all busy week working my Country AZZ off appraising and excavating!!!!! Go Canes!!

[elliott crowe]

Shout out to the D line for bringing it against Florida

[Hurricane Alley]

D Line is always the key. But even though it's Savannah State, I just wanna see our offense clickin' on all cylinders. Startin' with str8 domination from the O Line. And once that starts, our Canes gon' let it do what it do.

[Dr dan]

It is rout. Big score. Not route. Big road.

[Hurricane Alley]

I apologize Dr.dan Thanks.

[ElCaneFreak]

Any chance we see the golden arm of Olsen? Or is he going to redshirt? 55-0 we won't cover the spread and it will give that punk Mark May and everyone else at ESPN a chance to rip us.
Go Canes

[Montreal-Cane]

I know SOUP is dying to see his long time favorite Gray at QB...Lol...

[Montreal-Cane]

Wild one at Fresno State. I can't stand Boise St.

[Hurricane Alley]

I think it's unlikely we see Olsen. I think it's gonna be Morris, Williams and Gray. But we never know.

[The Dude]

Olsen is not playing. He is redshirting.

[Old Skool]

Do I detect a theme to the blog?

[Old Skool]

Shocking ...

Former Tennessee running back Arian Foster said he received “money on the side” during his senior year with the Vols, the third football player in the last week to be linked in published reports to alleged impermissible benefits while attending UT.

[D Cane]

Realistically, what will Tennessee lose...nothing. Anyone who advocates players should be payed is short sighted and endangering college football as we know it.

Add 1 more to your list..Clements

[Ohio_Cane]

62-3 final. Just so some people get PIZZED they didn't pick Savannah St to cover lol

LMAO!
As if CFB is some type of "damsel in distress."

Well, yeah. College football as we know it has some serious problems.

What you've got is a couple of big sports leagues (which, in any other business, would be experiencing serious antitrust headaches) exploiting the college programs as giant apprenticeship programs. It's a lot easier and cheaper than maintaining your own minor league system, especially since you don't have to worry about it if a kid suffers a career-ending injury in college. Just take him off your draft board.

The colleges, in turn, form their own cartels (the NCAA and the athletic conferences), and defray the (massive) costs of running this minor-league system by selling TV rights to broadcasters, tickets and merchandise to fans (that's us). Some of these college programs make enough money off this process to produce a net gain to their institutions. Many do not. But even at schools where the football program is a drag on overall revenue, the boosters ensure that the football program gets its damned money, because school pride is on the line every Saturday.

So this is a big, big business. Think of all the jobs it provides: coaches, commissioners, sportscasters, t-shirt makers, brewers, orthopedic surgeons...

So many people getting paid by college football. Meanwhile, the players get scholarships that the school can rescind. Unlike money, or other property, this scholarship interest can't be transferred to somebody else, so the player can't monetize it in time of need.

And brother, some of these players *need*. Some of them, in fact, grew up in actual poverty.

It's not clear to me *at all* what sort of "dignity" we are trying to preserve in the college game. Everybody is getting paid, EXCEPT the people whose bodies -- and thus their careers -- are being put on the line, week after week, to make the whole thing happen. If you think 'the end of college football as we know it' is a Bad Thing, I think it's incumbent on *you* to explain why.

[ElCaneFreak]

Why preserve a corrupt system? NCAA does investigations on themselves, that system is broken. The only good that will come from the last 2+ years of investigations on the U is the light it have shed on the NCAA. The University of Tennessee will be cleared along with Bama before Miami. How many investigations have taken place and have been resolved during the 2+ year witch hunt? None worst that what happen at PSU. Hell Sandusky has been found guilty and JoPa has died before we saw a resolution. Scrap this broken system! This system has never worked. Protect some and defame others. F this system that has taken multiple championships and a multitude of good years from our Canes.

[VA Cane]

I wish Al Queda would bomb NCAA HQ and blow their azzes to smithereens. Kill all the MFs. Then we do not have to deal with their BS!! I hate them all and anyone associated with them needs to go!!!!!!

[Ohio_Cane]

VA, U just got some extra hits for Canespace. By the FBI lol

[Old Skool]

Paying athletes (especially in the SEC) isn't really as shocking to me as the University of Alabama finally integrating their sororities. It's 2013 for Christ's sake, 50 years since the "I have a Dream" speech. 50 years since the school was forcibly integrated.

And still football players want to go represent that.

[Ohio_Cane]

Old Skool, generally speaking, athletes put aside their morals for the opportunity to make it to the NFL. They see it as a better chance there because of their recent success.

Either that, or they're oblivious to the type of culture and community that is still in a large portion of that state.

[TrianlgeCane]

So I say if U has a 28 or more pt lead, then the first team should not play in the second. 49-3 is my prediction. 3 coming towards the end of the game.

[TrianlgeCane]

Sticking my neck out this week and buying acccg tickets! Whose with me! Lol!

@ESPNCFB: 148 of Duke Johnson’s 245 rush yards (60.4%) this season have come after contact. #SAVvsMIA

[canezilla]

CAN'T GO WRONG WITH ZILLA AND LT!!#SUGARANDSPICE

[BigWindyCane1]

Great stat regarding Duke Johnson's yds after contact. Against Savanah St, i would like to fewer missed blocks and assignments, no drops from the receivers, 85% completion, no missed tackles and no penalties. As Golden has said, this game is about getting better and tightening up execution on both sides of the ball before they get into the heart of the ACC schedule.

I concur with BWC1, that's an AWESOME! stat. You wouldn't expect that from somebody His size.

[Da U N Houston]

GT stadium is pretty empty?!?

[NativeCane]

Triangle, I bought acccg tickets every year it was played in Tampa, wound up giving them away every time.

DemCanes!!!

[Terrance Sullivan]

LOL at GT its about 25,000 people there for a Conference/Division game against a hated rival.

[Account Deleted]

any tv tonight in central fl? I don't see anything in the lists. Is there a pay per view? or streaming feed on the web??

[Terrance Sullivan]

ESPN3 online. I also heard its on ESPN Gameplan on Brighthouse in Central Florida. WatchESPN online or on your phone.

[Account Deleted]

oops found it on espncg2...$10 but canes are worth it!!!

[BigWindyCane1]

Marshall and Cato (from Miami Central), are tied with Virginia Tech. UNC beating GT. Not impressed. Coastal should belong to the Canes this year.

[Massivcane]

GT looks slow and the TE for UNC is a beast, but he is playing GT defense. Idk if it's the rain or what???

Louisville 51, FIU 0 in 3Q. The 0-3 Panthers have been outscored this year 166-23. Canning Cristobal has done wonders for that program

[Terrance Sullivan]

Soup what are your thoughts on the Canes beat writer at the Sun Sentinel. BTW Ohio State and Louisville are going ham on FAMU and FIU. Our Canes better do the same tonight.

[SOUP]

TSully...After Casagrande left I don't even know who it is anymore at the SS?

We have Matt Porter from the PBP coming by next week to do a LIVE chat, prolly on Thursday evening around 8 PM. Still working on the details.

[AfriCane]

Marshal's program is working. All the Florida kids that couldn't qualify that they acquired r balling for them. They have a lot of them too, including their QB.

[usagainsttheworld]

Don't care if we are playing #1 or #119 in the country. Take every opponent seriously and "kill a mosquito with an ax."

[Terrance Sullivan]

Sweet Soup. Looking forward to it. BTW the beat writer at SS is Christy Cabrera Chirinos a Miami alum. BTW speaking of Michael Casagrande he was the only one to pick our Canes to beat Florida two weeks ago on AL.com. Looking forward to the Matt Porter interview. Go Canes!
