The Hurricane Club Needs U

In the next few days Hurricane Club members will receive their 2014 Hurricane Club renewal package. Gifts to the Hurricane Club help in #BuildingChampions at the U.

The Hurricanes proved this in 2013 by winning championships and receiving national recognition with our student-athlete academic achievements. Hurricane Club members shared with us a magical men’s basketball season, watched our women’s tennis team win an ACC Championship and saw 15 of our 18 teams compete in their respective NCAA Tournament.

Perhaps most importantly, Hurricane student-athletes excelled academically, with a school-record 92 percent Graduation Success Rate and a spring semester cumulative GPA of 3.01.

In our continuing efforts to further strengthen the foundation of the Hurricane Club and provide better service to our members, we would like to highlight key information for this year’s annual campaign: 

• All Hurricane Club donations are due in full or on an approved payment plan by Friday, January 31, 2014.
• Ticket invoices for 2014 Football & 2014-2015 Men's Basketball will be mailed when your Hurricane Club membership is renewed in full or on an approved payment plan.

This year, the Hurricane Club is asking all members to participate in the Canes Plus program. By giving at a Plus Level—or giving at the Next Level—members not only increase their priority, but, most important, they maximize the impact on the lives of our student-athletes. Click here to learn more.

[Schweaty Balls]

You guys need to chill on AG leaving. Would be the biggest disaster for this program since Butch leaving if AG goes.

[Schweaty Balls]

25 and 20 degrees?! Please! Its -16 with the windchill here in NYC. Don't even start.

[UMike]

I dont care what it is in NYC... when your born and raised in Miami and feel 20 degrees with a heavy wind...its dam cold lol

[SinisterCane]

Our defense would approve 50 spots just with NOd's departure

[Schweaty Balls]

You soft Miami people need to get it together. You don't even have a clue what cold is.

[Schweaty Balls]

I am also not saying that it would not be the worst thing in the world if Dno left.

I guess my biggest thing with the AG teams is that I see them play with zero emotion. Its ok to get excited and play mean and all that stuff. Keep it under control obviously but show some darn emotion once in a while like you actually want to pound the other guys face in the ground. These guys just seem like they sleepwalk through games.

[UMike]

Schweaty..who you calling soft... come on man lol

[UMike]

This guy I work with who is a Michigan fan comes up to me and is like "Dude... you guys didnt even show up"... of course talking about the bowl game.

[Go Canes]

And Michigan did?

[SinisterCane]

You soft Miami people need to get it together. You don't even have a clue what cold is.

Posted by: Schweaty Balls | January 03, 2014 at 09:24 AM

I used to be stationed in CT, I KNOW COLD lol

[UMike]

I have no idea what Michigan did, he wasn't talking smack about Miami, he was just making a comment..he also asked "what happened"...Go Canes your way to quick to defend anything to do with Miami lol

[VA Cane]

Good morning all, 20 degrees here 16 with wind chill....I wish we were playing this morning....I love it. Anybody up this way give me a shout, cause at noon we are gonna go throw it around again....just to stay on our game. We are not in unis....but sweats, long underwear, facemasks etc....I prepare my boys for the weather. Maybe Al and staff could fly in.....by coach....and learn the game the way I teach it cause u tough (yea small letters for small things) aint working.....its a punchline!!! How about Mountain Hillbilly Country Azz Tough!!!! A bunch of 13 year old Silent Assassins who are 5 time champs led by a fundamental teaching tough no nonsense old style take no prisoners stuff you in a body bag Apocalypse Now Coach!!! Cmon up we will teach you the game baby. Season over we out in 16 degree weather hungry for winning another title we live it here....our training camp is year round....we aint in Coral Gables putting our stuff away while the HC and his DC either are on the beach tanning or working out a buddy deal to go to PSU. Better buy some warm stuff guys its cold there too!!!! LMAO LOL!!!!! Man I am having an awesome New Year life is grand!!!!

[CaneRock]

he also asked "what happened"...

Posted by: UMike | January 03, 2014 at 09:39 AM

"What happened"? Quack,quack.

[SOUP]

Swiss Cheese Defense

[raizecane]

AG leaving would set this program back 3 - 4 years. I agree that No D has to leave but if Golden leaves, be prepared for a few years of 8 - 9 win seasons (if that).

Also say goodbye to a top 5 recruiting class. Miami does not have the $$ or the nutsack to hire a big name to keep recruits from jumping.

[Schweaty Balls]

Raize I agree, it would be a huge loss if AG leaves. It would be the worst possible outcome if it happens.

[SOUP]

Now that is over-stating things just a tad don't U think?

[Ohio_Cane]

Manny Navarro ‏@Manny_Navarro 40s

If I'm Al Golden and I'm not leaving for #PennState I'm using all this to get more money to upgrade my coaching staff #UM

[SOUP]

UCF averaged a class ranking of #65, with a high of #39, and a low of #90.

Louisville averaged a ranking of #50, with a high of #29 and a low of #77.

Baylor averaged a ranking of #43, with a high of #31 and a low of #55.

Miami averaged a ranking of #19, with a high of #9 and a low of #36.

[SOUP]

Ohio...so Manny is saying that the coaching staff at UM needs an "upgrade"? Or is he saying that Golden feels that his coaching staff needs an "upgrade"? Or is he saying BOTH?

[Ohio_Cane]

Ryheem Lockley to Marshall.

U all know what that means.

[Ohio_Cane]

SOUP, Manny is saying Golden's staff needs an upgrade. That was a "if I were in his shoes" type post.

[UMike]

Ryheem Lockley to Marshall.

U all know what that means.

Yea, kids that don't initially qualify never do lol

I am not saying I want AG gone..but a few 9 win seasons in a row would be an upgrade lol

[BEERicane]

Beer, I haven't mentioned u in quiet a while. And I don't intend to anytime soon. Please refrain from trying me. Because I certainly will give u more than u can handle. Just 'let sleeping dogs lie.'

Posted by: NigeianCane | January 03, 2014 at 07:06 AM

This is just embarrassing.

But seriously, didn't your screen-name have an "r" in it at one point in time?

[Ohio_Cane]

Yea, kids that don't initially qualify never do lol

Never say never.

Griffin looks damn close. Hoping he pulls it off.

[Schweaty Balls]

It would be the worst possible outcome if it happens.

Posted by: SOUP | January 03, 2014 at 10:02 AM

No I don't. Saying AG needs to go to Penn St b/c 9-4 is not good enough with average players on the roster and after he stuck by and lead this program through 3 years of muck is over-stating things. Any other good coach would have jumped ship 2 years ago. Fans around here have unrealistic expectations.

As I said, Dno is a waste, that's clear, but AG is a very good HC and this program would be back to 7-6 years if he left.

[UMike]

Ohio..Griffin has been close for what seems like forever lol. Lots of other kids got their tests scores back already, Im wondering if he did too and didnt make it, because it sure is quiet in his camp. He would be a great addition though, so I hope he does.

[Schweaty Balls]

All this recruiting talk is meaningless until we know what AG is going to do. You guys can talk this guy and that guy all you want but if AG leaves, say buh bye to that top 5 class we have right now.

[SinisterCane]

As I said, Dno is a waste, that's clear, but AG is a very good HC and this program would be back to 7-6 years if he left.

I respectfully disagree with you, a good coach can turns things around very quickly, at this point I don't see what makes Al such a good coach as you stated

[SinisterCane]

If AL is looking I hope UM is looking also

[herbieibis]

Losing a kid to Marshal, now what does that tell you? It Tells The Herb, that he's going to play for our farm club and he was a late addition last year, when we turned a rock over and discovered him. No big loss.

[Ohio_Cane]

Golden isn't going anywhere, so I'll keep talking recruiting.

[Schweaty Balls]

Posted by: SinisterCane | January 03, 2014 at 10:22 AM

Well I respectfully disagree with you. A good coach who has not been hamstrung by NCAA sanctions for 3 years can certainly do that but that was not case this year or the last 2. And every year he has been here, this team has had more wins than the year before which is progress. Now we have a top 5 class coming in, we have no more whiny Randy Shannon players to deal with and now AG can bring in HIS players and recruit how he wants without the shadow of the NCAA around. If in 2-3 years we are still stuck at 9-4 or 8-5 with no ACC or BCS bowl game, than sure, I might agree with you, but I for one am not ready to give up on AG until he allowed to play with a full deck.

[30CINCO]

shoot! what Lockley and Grffin bring to the table is what we need, that big WR who we can just toss it in the air to in the redzone. Thats the one thing our WR corp is missing. we got the speed, we need that size tho.

[UMike]

Brady will help with that.

[Ohio_Cane]

So will Njoku. I believe he has a committable offer now that Lockley is gone.

[Go Canes]

UMike Michigan got absolutely rolled in their bowl game.

It's not a matter of defending the U, it's a pot calling the kettle for a Michigan fan to say anything.

And I couldn't possibly agree more that losing Golden would set us way back yet again.

You have kids like Mark Walton committing already for a reason. We've been on him for three years now. He knows, trusts and has a relationship with our staff.

Having to re-establish all those connections takes time, and thats only IF the next coach can do it as well as Golden has.

[UMike]

We've been on Walton for 3 years now?

[Terrance Sullivan]

23 degrees here with the wind chill in the 10's lol.I have a feeling Golden stays.

[UMike]

My problem with Golden is really IF he allows D'No to stay. To me that means he doesnt see the big picture and would rather keep his buddy on staff than improve. I don't think Golden is that dumb though.

[30CINCO]

Brady will help with that.

Sounds good to me!

[Go Canes]

One more thing. Alabama is the gold standard of college football right?

Think about this. It has the #1 recruiting classes, all the facilities, an unlimited bankroll for coaches, one of the largest and most active booster bases in the country.

Yet in his seven seasons Saban has lost at least two games in more than half of them.

I'm not comparing Golden to Saban. They are on two different levels in experience, teaching and winning.

But it does serve to illustrate how impossible it has become to become dominant and stay there.

I can easily see them losing three games without McCarron next year.

This isn't the 80s and 90s where our D is cracking Nebraska's wishbone.

College football has become a pass happy free for all. Fielding a dominant D is getting pretty close to impossible.

Further proof? Bama played three good offenses this season, TAMU, Auburn and OU. They gave up 42,34 and 45 and over 500 yds of offense to each.

Again, not comparing us to them.

Just food for thought.
