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.

1/4 fresh Pineapple juice
1/4 100% Cranberry juice
1/4 Malibu BLACK (70 proof) Coconut Rum
1/4 Southern Comfort.
(Basically... a health food drink... ) It works... That is all.

If U think this is any slight resemblance to Miami Hurricanes football you are either dumb or sleep walking.
Posted by: 86Cane | September 01, 2014 at 09:45 PM
Unfortunately this looks exactly like the past decade of hurricane football

Posted by: SinisterCane | September 01, 2014 at 09:58 PM
half time adjustments have not been our strong point in recent years...
Posted by: longtimecanfan | September 01, 2014 at 09:59 PM
Roach...U may have made Keoki proud?
Good stuff my friend!
Posted by: 86Cane | September 01, 2014 at 09:59 PM
Watching this game reminds me of watching high school games in south Florida over the last 4 years. So many players for Louisville played here. But Miami has better talent.
I still say feed Duke and don't turn the ball over and the Canes should pull this one out.

understatement
Posted by: KYcane | September 01, 2014 at 09:59 PM
Here's my worry, this is typically were the other team adjusts to us and rolls us, whereas we come out with zero adjustments.
Posted by: The Dude | September 01, 2014 at 09:54 PM
I'm WITH you there, The Dude... we need to ADJUST... come out and DOMINATE!
(For a change... )
Posted by: roachcane77 | September 01, 2014 at 09:59 PM
I still have faith... BLIND FAITH!!!
Posted by: The Dude | September 01, 2014 at 10:00 PM
this has to be a year where we see some adjustments with the teams. dont let petrino figure out that the middle of the field is all day. coley has to get the ball rolling and open up the play calling. we have the playmakers we have to use them.

From reading the comments, you'd think we were down three touchdowns.
Posted by: Lurker | September 01, 2014 at 10:01 PM
third and short, do we break the 0-17 streak??
Posted by: longtimecanfan | September 01, 2014 at 10:01 PM
this offensive line is getting blown off the ball every damn time. come on
Posted by: LQ | September 01, 2014 at 10:02 PM
Nope
Posted by: longtimecanfan | September 01, 2014 at 10:02 PM
At least the offense isn't looking at the side line before offensive plays
Posted by: Hitter | September 01, 2014 at 10:02 PM
0-18.
Posted by: The Dude | September 01, 2014 at 10:02 PM

Posted by: BEERicane | September 01, 2014 at 10:02 PM
wow... I can't believe we're living 2013 all over again.My frustration isn't in the players,most are playing hard but this coaching staff.Lots of rhetoric,smooth words.There may have been a game plan but its trash now.Defense out of position,look lost-offense,Kaaya doing ok,very little North South. Looserville with 10 to12 freshmen out playing us and not by a little bit .When are things going to change...so tired of this.3rd down ?
Posted by: ucane | September 01, 2014 at 10:02 PM
so much for the halftime adjustment, plus we start out with a penalty....
Posted by: longtimecanfan | September 01, 2014 at 10:03 PM
Roach...U may have made Keoki proud?
Good stuff my friend!
Posted by: 86Cane | September 01, 2014 at 09:59 PM
Simplicity my friend... SIMPLICITY!!
It just works... Just use the K.I.S.S. principle...
(Kind of like I WISH we had done on the 5 yard line... Keep It Simple Stupid! POUND THE ROCK... DON'T THROW A BACKWARDS PASS!)
Posted by: roachcane77 | September 01, 2014 at 10:03 PM

Posted by: SinisterCane | September 01, 2014 at 10:07 PM
