Twenty things U did not know about the MIami Hurricanes:
1. The 1983 Miami Hurricanes were the first national championship team without a single player making an All-America first team voted by AP, UPI, the Football Writers Association or the College Football Coaches Association.
2. The 1987 Hurricanes beat 5 top 10 teams over an eleven game span: #10 Arkansas, #4 FSU, #10 Notre Dame, #8 South Carolina, # 1 Oklahoma and # 20 UF just for fun.
3. The 1991 Hurricanes gave up just 8.3 points per game in 12 games, led by middle linebacker Michael Barrow.
4. The 2001 Miami Hurricanes won their games by an average of 32 points a game over their opponent.
5. The 2001 Hurricanes beat two top 15 ranked teams back to back by a combined score of 124 -7. The worst back to back whippings of ranked teams in NCAA history. First #14 Syracuse went down 59-0 and then #12 Washington was walloped 65-7.
6. The 2001 Hurricane defense scored eight touchdowns and led the nation in pass defense, scoring defense and turnover margin.
7. An astonishing seven 2001 Hurricanes were first team All Americans.
8. Canes WR "Downtown" Eddie Brown had 220 yards receiving vs Boston College 1984.
9. Miami was Champion or co-champion of The Big East 9 out of the 12 years they belonged to the conference.
10. The Florida Gators are the only team to ever jump in “Flippers Pool” in the Orange Bowl after beating the Hurricanes.
11. The usually calm Howard Schnellenberger tacked on a late field goal against the Gators, after fans bombarded his players with peaches in 1980.
12. The University of Miami is one of four universities and the only private school in the nation to raise 1.4 billion dollars in fund raising between 2003-2008.
13. The 1966 Schedule would be a handful today. Colorado, FSU, LSU, UGA, Ind, USC, Tulane, Pitt, Iowa, UF, VTech.
14. All American Brett Romberg Center, 6-3, 297 was born in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. A little about Romberg during his time at UM...Did not allow a quarterback sack in his 46-game career. Never graded lower than 88 percent for a game. Started his last 33 games at center. Miami had a 32-1 record with Romberg as the center. Earned Offensive MVP honors by the coaching staff six times in his Miami career.
15. January 2001 -- The Miami Hurricanes suffered a 15-yard penalty during their Sugar Bowl game against Florida when Sebastian the Ibis runs onto the field and taunts the Gators after a Miami touchdown.
16. The Hillel Jewish Student Center hosted a bar mitzvah celebration for Sebastian the Ibis, an event usually reserved for 13-year-old Jewish males. Although no one was sure if Sebastian was Jewish, they were sure he was enjoying the celebration.
17. Gino Torretta hit Horace Copeland for a 99 yard td against Arkansas for the Canes longest passing TD.
18. In 2009 when Miami played FSU 132 players from the state of Florida were on the combined rosters.
19. In 1966 Ray Bellamy, University of Miami receiver became the first black scholarship player on a major college team in the deep south.
20. The 1988 Hurricanes were the first Florida collegiate team of any type to be invited to the White House by then President Ronald Reagan
First.

1)The good news is this whole thing will blow over when Miami's only fans are it's alumni.
2) Miami sent a big signal to CF that they won't be competing for NCs anymore. So come on down Bama, Texas, UF, FSU, OSU, WV take whoever you want.
3)By the end of Golden's tenure in 2019 Miami will be getting 1 or 2 4 star guys.

A) Miamis Alumni are smart people.. They're not going to support a program that thinks they're suckers. Attendance next year: Go, 30, random Alzheimer's patient.
B) Alpha coaches like that don't need a signal. They can smell our capitulence.
C) Why would his tenure end in 2019? If he gets to bowls he's fine.
If AG ever goes 10-2 it's because the talent is transcendant and overcame scheme. It will be as frustrating to see 10-2 as 6-7 because those 2 losses shouldn't have happened and we should be in a playoff.

I don't know how this jibes w what Dukes mom said, but I would say they believe they would be competitive if the D staff was shaken up. They don't want to transfer out.
I still believe Al to be in league w the devil.

No. I said I was happy for Luther because he was a Cane. But pointing to him as some epic fail by this staff because six weeks in he was promoted from the practice squad and had yet to register a tackle was a bit of a reach.
There are plenty of things to be critical about with these coaches, but that's not one of them.

I recall go saying Al had to go, and that we'd be better off w Butch. Ergo when he says 10-2 it's to get a rise outta us.
If Al goes 10-2 it will be very upsetting because we should've been in playoffs.

I don't remember that. But even if he did say that, he says that we should just look forward to the next season even though Go says Al ISN'T going to go.
To me, that's different from 'has to go.' That's 'going is optional,' at the strongest.
I, on the other hand, think he has to go, and if it hasn't happened in a few days, I'm going off the grid rather than give this mess of losers another minute of my attention. I guess what I'll do is set up a Google alert to tell me when it's finally happened, so that I don't have to hurt my brain by periodically checking 'Canes-related web sites.

It's true:
OGV was 100% right about Miami's fate under Golden, and the torment has driven him to angry madness.
Go Canes was, and remains, 100% wrong, and remains utterly unchangeable in his smug self-righteousness.
Posted by: dj moonbat | January 05, 2015 at 09:00 PM
Remember when I blamed 2 losses on Duke (which were absolutely his fault) and I took heat for it? Now OGV is regurgitating my material and nothing is said? I guess it is the innovators who get the ridicule from the sheeple.

Again, all of my experience as a sports fan leads me to expect him to be fired, soI will keep expecting that until there's an actual announcement to the contrary.
If they had announced the day after the bowl game that the whole staff had been retained, that would be LESS shocking than for that same announcement to be made now. If UM were truly complacent, they would have just moved on immediately after the Duck Droppings Bowl and expected the fans to start getting over it. Guys like you and I would still be angry, but we wouldn't be angry based on ASSUMPTIONS about what's going on; we would know.

I know many shallow recruits prefer Nike and are told on recruiting visits that if they attend a certain university, they will have new uniforms for each game. They love that although I don't think the Canes of the 1980s or 90s cared about such superficial nonsense that doesn't help you run faster or tackle better.
Personally, I am ambivalent about supporting Nike when the proceeds of Nike sales go disproportionately to promote an Oregon program or any other single program. Oregon shouldn't ride the revenue coattails of competing programs. Nike tries to dominate all sports, but they make crappy golf equipment. My sons wear that stuff but I avoid buying it when I can.
