Game Day Blog: Miami vs Pitt

I am going to keep this short and simple.

For my Christmas wishes to come true our University of Miami Hurricanes need a win today over the Pittsburgh Panthers.

I will be attending the last game of the season to see if Santa Claus (aka Mark Richt) will grant me the second of my three wishes for Christmas.

I will be wearing brand new kicks to ensure that the Canes will win by the score of, you guessed it, 34-13.

[Go Canes!!]

Let’s go for two in a row!!

[Go Canes!!]

In Dallas with the family visiting close friends of ours. Going with my buddy and his son to the Texas Tech-Baylor game today at Jerry’s World.

Watching those offenses is going to be depressing.

[Go Canes!!]

For those who love Mike Leach, an interesting quote:

[Herbieibis]

Cane's in a squeaka 24-23.

[AeroCane]

Go - enjoy your time in Dallas!
Leach is not my choice but would be leaps and bounds better than richt with the talent in south Florida
Bad guys 34-17
That’s how much I think of our idiot head coach and I hope I’m
Wrong

[orange 'n green in the vein]

These teams are too evenly matched with UM's garbage special teams still suspect until something gets fixed next year to be a blowout, so good luck unwrapping that final margin from under the tree.

[His Majesty The Dude on High]

Pitt 27, Miami 17.

[VA Cane]

Looks like good weather nice sunny for the boys

...cold raining here in VA.....we do not play today ...but it would be a great day to play if you want your team to be tough and tested....we are as have played a lot in the elements
not sure who will show up today for us...team is in turmoil but coming off a win...JT4 situation is bad....Really want a nice win to finish the regular season and perhaps salvage something...we will get a minor bowl all we really deserve.
Year started out so positive re outlook, but right off we were not ready vs LSU....I do not consider Savannah, Toledo or FIU real wins....thats like UM beating a HS team or my guys....

I hope we win and i hope beyond hope we make a change at the top...BOT AD CMR and all staff but Manny.....Fire all their Azzes....start the engines fly the banners reading FIRE BOT AD ALL COACHES BUT MD!!!

[86Cane]

At the game with KYCane. Light crowd.

We ready, WE READY!

[mi@mic@ne]

Richt is got to run the offense like his son got kidnapped and in order to earn his freedom hes got win today..and the team has got to play like they will end up in the Antarctica bowl if they lose. Its all or nothing today.. b

[AeroCane]

KY and soup - have fun!

[VA Cane]

Say crowd is light and its what 81?....

Meanwhile its 45 in Columbus OH at OSU MI game 102,000 plus watching 2 10-1 teams battle....thats what you got to want relevance....fighting in the cold and rain to get into the 4 team playoff....
with CMR we are fighting to get into the Flex Seal Trojan Condom Gold Bond Powder Bowl...
It is sad not to matter aint it?

[VA Cane]

Enjoy the game guys and pull out a win for us!!!!

[mi@mic@ne]

Wake up 21 0 over doogie...vt beats Pit..is this a nightmare season?

[mi@mic@ne]

not pit vt beats uva

[mi@mic@ne]

harbaugh is another coach caught in the past..

[86Cane]

VA Cane...we will do our best!

We lost at least three games we should not have, but such is life and football under Mark Richt.

Yet still we show up and are ready to endure our just rewards or punishment.

This is the crazy thing, we go 10-3 last year and everyone was loving it...maybe not Rosier, but was loving the wins. Now it's fire this guy and that guy. My question is did you say fire anyone when we were 10-3? Same staff except DL coach.

Posted by: Killerbeez | November 24, 2018 at 11:37 AM

So by this logic you're implying that if you win one year you shouldn't be fired no matter what you do after?

[VA Cane]

Soup,
Love the shoes...and you got a great Co pilot with you in KY.....at least CS is represented by true champions!!!
I thought the great CGNCPa said she was going to be there...if so we are really repped great!!!!
Be safe have fun and bring it home CS peps!!!

[mi@mic@ne]

Georgia smacking GT ..... we should average 40 points a game in the acc....its richt third year..no excuses.

[VA Cane]

OSU has had issues all year...but they look really good today...despise Flat Head Greasy Urban....but he wins wherever he is.....no doubt.
.856 win%....might not like him but damn thats almost 86% of your games you win...got to respect it!

[AeroCane]

VA - easy guy to dislike but you’re right - definitely a top 5 if not 3 coach in college football
Richt at this time in the bottom 10% IMO

[VA Cane]

UM would never come to UM...LOL...
but if he did we would be very different....keep Manny or bring Schiano...either would work....but we have to change the culture...as iIsaid...you got a lineage of Clappy, Onion, AlPa and RichtPa....mediocrity at best....been to average for too long....2003...15 years of bad football...got to change

[VA Cane]

KY love the logo.....a definite dumpster fire....
coaching, recruits saying no, good players quitting, good kids sitting on the bench...burn baby burn.....lot of fuel in that dumsta.....

[mi@mic@ne]

The 2003 recruits were worth 4 mill to Butch...i dont understand what is going on with the bot but its been a waste of money since then...

[mi@mic@ne]

2002

[mi@mic@ne]

I feel sorry for the Pirate...the snow storm game is not a good recruiting tool..lol and the talent out in that part of the country is not as good as south florida...Butch freshman who turned out to be number 1 draft pics beat a number 2 UCLA in the OB.

[orange 'n green in the vein]

Posted by: mi@mic@ne | November 24, 2018 at 02:19 PM

Hilariously, adjusted for inflation, Butch for today's 4 million or so would have cost just under 2.9 in 2002, which if you go back to Willie's, "Curse of Butch Davis," source article isn't too far off what they tried to do the guy dirty for before he took the NFL job.

Wait, that's not hilarious, just like it's not funny this could have been Butch's fourth year finale in his second go if Fake Lames only had a pair and had gotten rid of fatso for having a losing season instead of what it actually is.

[VA Cane]

Harbaugh is a decent coach...but his teams are sloppy and ill prepared.
He calls a TO...4th and 2...then a guy jumps offside and has to punt.
Guy catches a KO inside the 10 goes out of bounds...stupid.
He is like CMR run run run when it is not there...so when they pass OSU gets great pressure...
He is good...but only good...MI is not the 4th best team in the country....and he is out of step...over rated!!!! Hes kind of a nerd....and not as prepared as he has had a lot of luck in college and pro!

[VA Cane]

He has the problem we have....no QB at all Patterson is not good...poor QB play...and he wants to run it too much....
and the Achilles Heel....ST play blocked punt....looks like UM in the mirror....

[mi@mic@ne]

It only takes half a game to watch the offense and figure out what kind of scheme best fits the players..if you go back to the first time Perry plays i was saying we needed to spread out talent out and run uptempo rpo type of plays..its taken Richt 4 losses and throwing the team in chaos to finally run that scheme...but the stupid decision was hiring a guy who was not able to beat top ten teams and then give him an extension...thats not only a recipe for losing but its bad business.

If this is true... this is SAVAGE and the best one yet! Only at UM!

💀💀☠☠⚰⚰😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[VA Cane]

but the stupid decision was hiring a guy who was not able to beat top ten teams and then give him an extension...thats not only a recipe for losing but its bad business.

Pretty good point....he comes in shows a little flash and you sign him for eternity just because he once rode the pines and played for HS....we are headed in the wrong direction....program is in chaos I expect more people to leave and more recruits to look elsewhere where people compete win thats what kids want and thats what true fans want.
I hate losing in anything...I want to be the best parent, grandparent, friend, neighbor, coach teacher, mentor....yet it will not always happen....but to accept 50% or so is nuts...
OSU is 10-1 and they are freaking up there....then today they lay waste to MI....Urban may be a jerk as a person, but damn he can coach...and win!

[mi@mic@ne]

Just study the Bowden coaching tree as opposed to the Jimmy coaching tree...every internet site I visited were calling for Butch not Richt..see we fans have been watching the last 30 years ..we know more than the bot..

[VA Cane]

I dont know JH is even right for MI...he cannot beat ND and he cannot beat OSU....you got to beat them.
His QBs are not real good...now this kid has 3 TDs today....but he throws low overthrows and is awkward...like UM QBs.
JH is playing 50s and 60s football trying to beat you by running dives...not against todays athlete....they got QB beaten down and he has no answers how to win...who does that sound like...
Good old Gawga Dawg football...run run run...bubble or flair screen....punt and play D....hope for the best.
Will not work....we are despair and stagnant.....
turn the prop start the plane!

[mi@mic@ne]

sad

[IraqiCane]

Yup

[mi@mic@ne]

should have put the rb as a tight flanker to pic up the outside rush on the bubble screen

[IraqiCane]

NICE!!!

[mi@mic@ne]

the d figuring out the bubble..blitzed an lb on that side. ,its open geezzz

[Herbieibis]

Heu the spread but a slower version of it. Will get a chance to see how good Perry is. His stats or completion rate will be close to Rosier.
We still aren't getting separation on our routes.

[BigWindyCane]

Pitt knows our plays. CMR needs to run that fullback trap or wham block more. Need to mix up the passes and show them something new

[mi@mic@ne]

defense is like the old days..

[mi@mic@ne]

need to score 14 more this q to make it easier

[AeroCane]

D is fun!
O - not so much

[mi@mic@ne]

no offense ...richt awfense

[AeroCane]

Richt is bad! There’s no other way to say it

[MDCane]

Painful

[mi@mic@ne]

cam takes that long run we had to the house.

[Herbieibis]

That's the problem Richt doesn't have spread mind. Perry looks like he is in quick sand.
Say it ain't so, Beagles with a 55 yd. Roller.

[BigWindyCane]

Glad to have Pinkney back in the lineup

[AeroCane]

Joe Jackson is very very good

[mi@mic@ne]

we cant get momentum because we are not moving the ball ...with our speed we should be up 14

[mi@mic@ne]

we win because our d gets us good field position with the turnovewrs

[mi@mic@ne]

he needs to play homer sparingly...cam must play a lot

[AeroCane]

And in the beginning of the season, lingard
Richt is clueless

[mi@mic@ne]

richt is too concerned about being fair..put let the talent play

[AeroCane]

My point proven- Wiggins, langham and cager- bench only
This is depressing and no fun

[Herbieibis]

Langham needs to join Rosier.
Wiggins stinks ball was a little high but he's junk as well.

[BigWindyCane]

These WRs need to play a lot better

[mi@mic@ne]

find someone who will catch the ball ...you cant depend upon guys who drop the ball..

[AeroCane]

Dean is another one that should never see the field - terrible

[TruCane81]

MJ 28 just pancaked a ol man.

D came to play.

[BigWindyCane]

The Canes lead the ACC in drops

[mi@mic@ne]

never saw a cane team back the day who dropped the ball like this...what do they practice?

[mi@mic@ne]

we need a oc..this is unacceptable..Perry should be getting in their face if he cares.

[BigWindyCane]

We haven’t seen the fullback lead since Homer’s big run

[AeroCane]

A huge fear of mine going into next season:
All our good to above good jr’s leave (ie the 3 LB’s, etc); we have a poor recruiting class; we have a few more key transfers;
We will most likely have a losing season;

[mi@mic@ne]

Richt is running a kindergarten...the qb should be holding them accountable not the coach!

[TruCane81]

Really liked that middle blitz with Shaq.

[AeroCane]

Another huge fear- richt is still our coach! Lol

[mi@mic@ne]

havent seen Pitt get dominated like this..our d is bad...plain and simple..hope we can give them a rest.

[BigWindyCane]

Aero,
McCloud is good, but he isn’t going anywhere. Shaq and Pinkney are the real deal. Hopefully, they both return. Joe Jackson is probably a first round pick, so he is going

[mi@mic@ne]

the offense suks ..they should have more pride than this...drops...missed blocks...playing the slow players..

[mi@mic@ne]

richt sucs for not playing cam..terrible coach

[AeroCane]

Put Williams in!
Big windy - I’ve heard that before and what happened - they went pro! With the way this season has gone, they will leave!

[mi@mic@ne]

we have no home run threat when he is not playing...how stupid can you be...recievers are not reeady to play

[TonyCane]

Could you imagine if we had played Clemson next week with this offense?

[TruCane81]

Wide open , ain’t even look for the ball.

Cager is struggling bad.

[AeroCane]

Richt clearly has no idea of how to use his talent! This O sucks and so does Richt!
I’m Telling you- if he is still our coach next year, we will NOT make a bowl Game! He’s that bad and this program is going in the wrong direction quickly

[VA Cane]

Painful to watch this; just not sharp.
No execution no emotion....apathy all the way around.
At least The d came to play....but things do not
look good.
The idea started out good but this is the same level of play we had under the last 3 regimes...very average play...not good!

[BigWindyCane]

The WRs are just not getting it done. They don’t know how to play. This is embarrassing

[mi@mic@ne]

we should be slicing up the acc...open receivers all game long...get a damn coach

[Alex]

Is Cager a Senior? I know Langham is. They both are pretty bad...maybe it's the coaching.

[mi@mic@ne]

im so mad i would take one of the bowdens now

[orange 'n green in the vein]

Posted by: Alex | November 24, 2018 at 04:34 PM

Redshirt Junior year for Cager in 2018.

[mi@mic@ne]

acc refs...we should have 28 points by now..cant trust the acc ..get a damn coach

[mi@mic@ne]

perry throwing to receivers who cant catch and dont know how to turn their heads...

[Alex]

Thanks OGV...their time is up.

[BigWindyCane]

The Canes need to recruit WRs

[mi@mic@ne]

may they will kick homer out

[mi@mic@ne]

acc is as bad as our offense

[AeroCane]

The acc refs got it right on review! Yay

[BigWindyCane]

Deejay! In the words of Michael Irvin, “Big time players make big time plays.”

[mi@mic@ne]

the acc should not even be on the same field with the canes ...cant coach offense..except clemson..sad very sad

[VA Cane]

A good ST play for a change.....that was nice execution....need alot more good execution on ST and O.
Good job!

[AeroCane]

Big windy
They have - richt is an effing idiot and doesn’t use them
Pope, Hightower, Thomas, njuku. Ezzard etc

[mi@mic@ne]

richt has top high school receivers and running backs...they would destroy other high school teams in the rest of the country...richt cant coach

[AeroCane]

Homer and deejay over cam Davis and LL? Give me a break!
Cager, Wiggins and langham over Thomas, Pope, Hightower, njuku? Give me a break!
Richt is clueless
