The moment you have all been waiting for have finally, and mercifully, arrived.
Talk is cheap and easy.
It is now time to walk the walk.
Time to put up or shut up.
The shorts and shirts give way to pads and helmets under the Labor Day lights.
Your Miami Hurricanes take the field tonight in Louisville to show UM fans and the entire Nation what the 2014 team will be made of and what they will be able to accomplish under head coach Al Golden.
Golden enters his fourth year as the lead dog in Coral Gables. It is time for his team to live up to it's bark and have some serious bite if they are going to be successful in the ACC this season.
A convincing win starts the season off on the right foot, satisfies the fans for at least one week and sets the stage for a potentially breakout season for the Hurricanes.
A loss, while not crippling, puts a damper on the Spring and Summer of hope and expectations derived from excellent recruiting, improved talent and depth on the roster.
Coaching, leadership, game planning and execution will be the key operative words of the day as Miami looks to extract some serious revenge (you can forget what the politically correct say) from the same Louisville team that spanked the Hurricanes badly in the bowl game at the end of last season.
Tonight on a national stage under the lights at Papa John's Stadium on Monday night your MIami Hurricanes will tell you if they are back all the way, half way there or not ready for prime time.
We can't wait to see the message they send.
Canespace Prediction: Miami 41, Louisville 30.

Posted by: The Dude | September 01, 2014 at 07:37 PM
Two Keys to a Canes victory tonight- - Give it to Duke, and don't turn the ball over. All other things the Canes want to accomplish tonight will automatically fall into place.
Posted by: BigWindyCane1 | September 01, 2014 at 07:38 PM
