Tonight when your Miami Hurricanes travel to Wallace Wade Stadium to face ACC Coastal Division foe Duke (7 p.m. / ESPNU) a new era in UM football will start. Larry Scott will replace the fired Al Golden on the sidelines as the new head coach of the Hurricanes.
Here are some quick facts about the teams, the series and the game from www.hurricanesports.com:
-The Hurricanes carry a commanding 10-2 all-time series lead against Duke, including a 5-1 mark in Durham. UM won the 2014 matchup between the schools, a 22-10 decision at Sun Life Stadium.
-Duke, ranked No. 18 in the USA Today Coaches Poll & No. 22 by the Associated Press, represent Miami’s third ranked opponent of 2015; the Hurricanes played at No. 8/12 Florida State on Oct. 10 and played No. 6/6 Clemson last weekend (Oct. 31).
FIVE THINGS:
1. Interim head coach Larry Scott will be coaching his first game at the helm of the Hurricanes against No. 22/18 Duke.
2. Miami carries a 10-2 all-time record against the Blue Devils into Saturday’s matchup, including a 5-1 all-time mark in Durham.
3. QB Brad Kaaya’s 1,846 passing yards are tops among ACC quarterbacks; he is averaging an ACC-best 263.7 yards per game.
4. Miami’s +11 turnover margin is the second-best mark in the nation; Miami has lost just five turnovers, sixth-fewest in FBS.
5. Both redshirt senior WR Rashawn Scott (1,019) and junior WR Stacy Coley (1,042) surpassed 1,000 career receiving yards last time out against Clemson.
Canespace Predicition: Miami 41 - Duke 20.
Championships make you better.

So on one hand you can say Urban is better than Butch because Urban has more titles... but on the other hand Lebron is better than Robert Horry with less titles?
You can't have it both ways!

Canes win 27- 24
Tonight I break in my post Golden lucky hat!
Skool let me know if U wanna run that orange tie thru the Airboat Prop!

1. I like this plan.
2. Creative, but sounds too messy.

I may not have credibility but I know when a coach has three national titles at two different schools and is currently ranked number one and vying for his fourth in 10 years, he's considered better than a coach who's had one 10 win season and no titles in his career.

My friends want me to dump my visor! They say I've had it 10 years plus and we haven't won CHIT since I started wearing it.
I'm torn!
Posted by: Go Canes | October 31, 2015 at 01:42 PM
National titles like those 2 guys have may not make you better...thats on you as a coach.....to always get better....I am much better now than 36 years ago....
however it does make things better.....you tell me that all players...average...good...elite dont know the championship programs elite programs....and want to go there....its a huge advantage to say "son we won the NC, and we are on pace to do it again...c'mon and help use win 4 or 5.....man thats an advantage..sales point
then look at your IdolPa AlPa.....boy hes got the recruits beating down the door to come play and go 6-7....and play in the Masturbation Crossdresser Bowl...and lose....
Butts in the seats....look at Michigan OSU Bama USC OK Baylor TCU Clemson....and many others packing it cause their teams winning or thought to have a shot......people want to see them play....even NB, VT who are struggling....they still got people coming....
then look at your IdolPa AlPa....yea that 6-7 got them packed into the bush league setup...shit the band section was the fullest part of the stadium....
NCs are great things....people want to win it all....to be #1....exposure, prosperity, tv $, recruits, fans in seats, fan support, gear sales.....I rarely see U gear in stores...used to all the time....why? nobody cares about a 6-7 loser team!!!!...my guys call it little u and laugh its so bad!
how do you think the U got big my friend? 83-2003 5 NCs, Heismans, All Americans, big bowls, big games, TV, people coming out to buy the shit...home field advantage....kids knowing and throwing the U!!!!! SWAG!!!!!them winning did not put butts in the OB so much.....but like Dale Earnhardt.....opponets had their fans in the seats big time...to see them play....and many more came just to hate the U and see em lose....
There are times you make good points; often you are blind about this game and people...especially kids.
friend I have been in the biz forever....I coach kids from middle to college right now....I KNOW what they want and like.....
we know you attend the United AlPa Holy Church....but damn you must have learned your football from his docs, pamphlets, folders, essays and trusting the process....your on field experience consists of playing 1960's electric football games...BZZZZZZZ....and you never won...wonder why....cause you dont know the game the strategy the coaching or the kids that make it up!!!!!!
Drop your mike.....like The Miz or Big Show or Showoff.....just another fake hiding from reality....

Based on this post... Robert Horry is way better than Lebron! By a country mile!

Meyer is winning with other people's teams everywhere he's been!
Are you willing to bet he'll win the title this year?

Posted by: WWIN | October 31, 2015 at 12:44
Everything Go and Lurker say has been wrong for years! Have they got anything right yet? Your debates are always end in failure!
Butch built these teams from scratch! I would guarantee Butch would of been playing for a NC if his whole team wasn't suspended his final year....that team was stacked. Urban walked into gold mines! Your arguments are just plain dumb!

You're insulting everyone's intelligence by even trying to make this comparison.
If you think any school in America, even one, would choose Butch over Meyer or any of the coaches I listed last night to run their program right now, today, more power to you.
Think what you want.
Posted by: Go Canes | October 31, 2015 at 01:56 PM
That damn bear would have run from Terrance....he's the baddest...chases sharks bears.....I can see him chasing that bear with a cigar, beer, and girl hanging on....and Native with that Stihl saw blazing.....great scene....wow!!!

"National titles don't makeyou better!"
Drops mic. Debate over.

Of course titles makes u better, which is why we need to quit thinking about Herman and Mario and start demanding Chizic!!!!!
In fact, I'm starting a new movement..

No... your logic is old school way of thinking and dumb!
Based on your logic of titles make you better... that would make Robert Horry better than Lebron and KD...true or false? Horry has more titles, with multiple teams, and more wins!
Care to debate me on this subject?
Posted by: WWIN | October 31, 2015 at 02:06 PM
Pretend championships, like that three way tie for first that Ganes fans tried to grasp at as meaning something that deserved credit for going on years now?

Posted by: WWIN | October 31, 2015 at 02:08 PM
I have no desire to debate you on anything WW.
Like I said, if you think a single team in America would choose Butch right now to run their program over Urban, that's fine. Or if you think winning 3 titles in 9 years with two different teams and currently being #1 and undefeated is less impressive than what Butch has accomplished, more power to you.

Playing and coaching titles are generally considered separate areas of competition within the same sport pie Willie, find a round ball coach collary if your going to continue to try and make your case.
Posted by: orange 'n green in the vein | October 31, 2015 at 02:11 PM
OGV... good point! Lol
I forgot all about that Consolation Coastal Title that we "won" against a team that beat us head to head!
Posted by: WWIN | October 31, 2015 at 02:11 PM
If I had to choose between Urban and Butch, he'll yeah I'm taking Butch. I think Meyer is a D bag. I love how he fakes health reasons for the reason for his 1 year retirement! C'mon man, that guy knew his team was shyt and that's why he left to save face!

You compare coach vs coach and player vs player and team vs team. It's done all the time... like when people compare Tom Brady vs Peyton Manning

Earning every cent of that ten per recently though William, you might be the inheritor of the ant pile kicking accusations from Tom after the choice is made and then we can officially have the torch passing ceremony between us to designate your new championship of the real kind.

You see what happens when I try to get people to debate me without name calling and insults with you as the moderator?
Posted by: WWIN | October 31, 2015 at 02:18 PM
This is opposite world.
Coaches with multiple NC's at different schools are nowhere near as good as coaches with only one ten win season in 15 tries, and a losing conference record at their last school.
Got it.
Posted by: Lurker | October 31, 2015 at 02:20 PM
It's okay to brag on Meyer but when people liked how McElwain handled Taylor they were bashed for defending a gaytor! Lol
Posted by: WWIN | October 31, 2015 at 02:23 PM
Using this logic, we should demand for Mario, because his record is even worse than Butch's, meaning he must be that much better than Butch

Boy stop! Don't even try to bring Butch's NFL record into this... you know damn well that NOBODY is winning anything with the Cleveland Browns!
Your logic is flawed Lurker... just face it!
Posted by: WWIN | October 31, 2015 at 02:26 PM
^^^^^
You also keep leaving out the facts that Butch had sanctions at both schools

FSU looking good now with a back up QB and RB.
How come FSU's back up can come in and look all pro and throw 4 TDs?
Posted by: 86Cane | October 31, 2015 at 02:31 PM
William, of all the Davis supporters I've seen opine, so far none have mentioned the angle that basketball blue blood UNC hiring Butch was a sign to their fan base that they were serious about fully supporting football and a full commitment to winning, something the BOTS haven't been safe from allegations to the contrary in CG in the last decade.

“I live down there. That’s what I keep hearing, too,” said analyst Desmond Howard, a South Florida resident. “The radio people are talking about Butch Davis a lot. They want him there.”
Added analyst Kirk Herbstreit: “I would love to see Butch Davis back to Miami. It’d be pretty sweet.”
“It would create an incredible buzz,” Howard said. “People would come to the games – instantly.”

Duke - 10 1/2
On Friday Duke was... - 13
A major line movement of 2.5, which means the late money went with Miami. Go figure.
