On behalf of all of the many great people and talented bloggers here at Canespace we want to wish U a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
As you know if you have been around here for any amount of time this blog is more than just a Miami Hurricane sports blog.
It is a family. A family that at times can be a little dysfunctional but still a family of fans like no other blog on the Internet.
We would also like to thank the many good folks at the UM Athletic Department for their on-going support of our blog as well.
As we make our Christmas wishes, we ask U to join us in the Holiday season in wishing peace on Earth and good will towards all. Well, everyone except Florida State and Florida Gator fans of course.
Here are our simple Canespace Holiday wishes for 2018:
1. That UM wins their bowl game against Wisconsin.
2. That Mark Richt turns out to be the best coach any Miami fan could ask for.
3. That the Watsco Center and Mark Light Field are filled with 'Canes fans.
4. That UM baseball makes an early season statement on their way to Omaha.
5. That UM basketball comes on strong in ACC play later this season.
We would like to wish all of U a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas all

Not a big basketball guy; I despise the NBA....
but watching 30 for 30 Survive and Advance Jim Valvano and the 83 NCSU team....very moving and incredible at the same time. My old coach is struggling now and it reminds me of him. I do speak to him once a week....hes my guy got most of my game from him....certainly his attitude about winning!
Hard to believe it was 35 years ago.....I remember i was at some of my friends place big old cold house...about 20 of us....drinking and partying....and what a game!!!
Merry Christmas to each of you!!!!

No VA is OUT. State income tax.

I want no State income tax.
Low property taxes.
Safety and security.
And SPACE, woods and mountains.
Posted by: SOUP | December 26, 2018 at 12:12 AM
You can't beat sc on taxes. Fuel is 1.78. There are no road tolls and then mountains here in Greenville blocks all the bad weather that Tn gets.
Posted by: mi@mic@me. | December 26, 2018 at 12:26 AM
The low taxes
Posted by: mi@mic@me. | December 26, 2018 at 12:34 AM
Thought U weβre talking vacation home not relocation. Totally agree on the income tax (love ya TX!). But if your earned income can be dramatically reduced, then U will want to consider property & sales taxes.

SOUP, I'm not familiar with the whole state, but around Chattanooga there is plenty of trails and rivers etc. It is truly an outdoor place. Plenty of country and mountains in all directions. Look up some articles on Chattanooga and it's surrounding areas. The Cumberland Trail comes through here, we are a couple hours drive to the Smokies and trails there.
Posted by: UMike | December 26, 2018 at 07:01 AM
We also have the Ocoee river within a 30 mins drive. Miami away games are a lot closer too lol

I LOVE North Carolina and am more familiar with it BUT North Carolina has a State income tax, Tenn does not. I plan on doing real estate wherever I move to about age 65-70 depending on my health and wealth. So I have between 10-15 years of work left in me. Unless WW III or the Apocalypse comes first!

You are right on the state income tax - I hated it when I lived in NC. BUT, car and homeowners insurance is significantly less. So much so that you actually get a discount for having the same company which is impossible to do in South Florida. Insurance might not be as much for you as it is for me - Palm Beach County is HIGH.
Posted by: CGNC | December 26, 2018 at 01:29 PM
Susan: IMPORTANT NOTE: Mark Richt said N'Kosi Perry "is available to play as of right now.'' I asked him if/when he'll announce any suspensions for bowl and he said, "If anything like that happens, we'll release it just prior to game time.'' So, will Perry be suspended just before game?
Posted by: Go Canes!! | December 26, 2018 at 02:08 PM
Weather will be clear, 35 to 37 degrees.....not our favorite circumstance re:weather......I hope the D will hit in the cold I think so.....Both Os will be limited because their starter is out....Hornibrook was 7/2 59.5% 1532 yds...but 13/11 tds/picks Malik 3-4 53.5% 1007 yds 6/5 tds picks.....so they were about even....Coan will QB for them...1/2 61% 442 yds 4/2 td/picks...so less experience, not a lot of difference.....weather, crappy offenses, bad STs....low scoring....
I do not think CMR cares about outcome..nor does staff and players...trip to NYC probably fun....Malik or Perry not a lot of choice in starter...neither is a good QB....
But lets do our best get a win...think with Manny coaching the D will be tough....lets get a win get out of town and get home to put this very lackluster season to rest.....I will watch cause I love The D and Manny a lot.....

Listening to a podcast featuring an extended interview with Lebron James, it was interesting to hear how in addition to perfecting his basketball skills, he undertook a determined study to learn how to become a good leader. N'Kosi would do well to copy that template.

Posted by: WWIN | December 26, 2018 at 05:10 PM
From what I gather whoever loses the battle transfers by Week 5 of next season. Williams may have more upside if he's dedicated in the offseason to winning the job. If Perry is going to secure the job, he has to start taking it seriously.

That's the biggest imbalance problem in football. Bagmen. The SEC bagmen have their own ways:
https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2014/4/10/5594348/college-football-bag-man-interview
According to a coworker, UT did it differently. Players supposedly used to get their clothes drycleaned, and when they picked them up there was money in the pockets.
Then today I was reading rumors of one sought after recruit literally being wired money by an actual school.
Putting the debate aside over whether the athletes should be payed - and I lean towards payment - the totally ineffectual way that the NCAA polices this makes a mockery of college football. Three Alabama signees can post pictures on NSD with huge wads of cash, but that is not a problem. Alabama players can lease cars from their coaches, but that is not a problem. The families of players are given jobs, and that is almost never a problem.
If you believe the unsubstantiated rumors - and of course that is all they are - we're now talking about schools bidding over $200K for individual players. I'm curious if there has been a recruit who has broken six figures yet.

So we have 2 more Dec. Birthdays. Congratulations Coke and Soup u are in Elite group of December birthdays. Hope u been knocking down sum cold ones. Happy B-Day fellas.
Soup the Herb lives in Gastonia, NC. 1hour & 45 min.from the mountains. 3.5 hours from Myrtle Beach. Taxes high especially gas tax but since I'm only 7 miles from the South Carolina line, gas there runs about 18 to 20 cents cheaper a gallon. The Herb has a little crib at North Myrtle and that is where my rump is retiring too!

Ooooof! The Cal and TCU QB's are absolutely terrible!
Posted by: thirstybuzzardcane | December 26, 2018 at 10:26 PM
I'm just wondering, since we wiffed so badly on the first signing day, where in the hell he is going another 12 players that he wants to add. Know Bogle, Stephson and Richards are really only hope for big time additions we could muster maybe Sorrells. Slim Pickings. Bowl game better be good if we want to make an impression.
Oh & Richt ain't changing no Offense he's still throwing ship offers to pro style QB's. One in Cali and one in Conn.
