And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love.
Many of you will not be familiar with this bible verse from the New Testament,1 Corinthians 13:13. But today is your lucky day, and lucky for you, I am very familiar with this verse. And, it holds serious meaning for us Canes fans.
Miami Hurricane fans should maintain FAITH in new head coach Manny Diaz.
It would appear to most fans that Diaz inherited a group of players who apparently are either not talented enough, not motivated enough or are not properly dedicated to the sport they play. It now seems as if only effective coaching, external motivation or roster turnover will solve this problem.
Miami Hurricane Fans should sustain HOPE in Manny Diaz.
He will find ways to cure what concerns all of us: Offensive line play, special teams, third down conversion rates on offense and defense and a general malaise that seems to let weaker teams stay in games with UM. Miami's reruiting has not been stellar but it is better than most teams they face. Yet, they simply don't play like it and many fans wonder why.
Miami Hurricane fans should LOVE their University and their team.
I attended UM from 1980-1986 and had some of the best years of my life there. I eventually graduated with honors. Both my Mother and Father both worked on campus for many years. All told, I spent over 10 years on that campus learning to love the University of Miami. I have not lost that loving feeling.
Now, as to the football team and the current head coach, and their performance on most Saturdays...well that has to improve significantly and soon. After 20 years of greatness we have suffered through 15 years of mediocrity. Through four head coaches and countless recruiting classes the same results have been demonstrated over and over again.
We are in the most fertile recruiting ground in the Country we have to keep the best players home. We have to find other players that can make us great again wherever they may play. Recruit, coach, play and win.
And, we have to coach and motivate these players to be the best they can be.
Then, and only then, can "The U" ever be great again.
And now these three remain, faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love.
Vienna waits for your is a lyrical masterpiece.

That Queen cover is great! I recently saw Queen + Adam Lambert and it was great to be in the same venue as Brian May and Roger Taylor - they've still got it. Freddie even made a halogram appearance

Ok. This is DEFINITELY off track, and not Cane related, but I've ALWAYS been bothered by Billy Joel's "The Stranger" song.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, the haunting whistling at the beginning and the end of the song. But, the change to the lyrical and melody portion in the middle just never seemed to "suit" the opening and closing "feeling."
I mean he's an unbelievable talent and artist, and I have 4 or 5 of his songs on my changing playlist at all times... but, I just feel like he missed the boat on how the melody and tempo go in the middle of THAT song... too much of a contrast perhaps? I'm sure other people, (and probably Billy himself), love that song BECAUSE of the contrast... I feel it should have stayed with the "haunting" feeling... maybe in a bluesy way, to depict the loneliness and distance provoked by the opening.
OK. Back to your regular viewing here please!
UM 42-14 VT.
Let's Go CANES!
Posted by: roachcane77 | October 03, 2019 at 10:32 PM
roach,
that entire song is a cluster fyk to me.
It starts out with that creepy serial killer whistling, then lurches into a bad tempo. The worst part is when he sings that high part in a key that seems right where he should know better.
But I do like when he sings about Catholic girls.

ESPN's Bear says we will win the Coastal
“Miami should be 5-2 when they take their road trips to Pitt and Florida State,” Fallica said.
Virginia Tech enters this week’s game against Miami looking to regroup from a 45-10 thumping from Duke last week—which was the Hokies’ worst loss to an ACC team since joining the league in 2004.
The Hokies are 1-7 in their last eight games

ALlLgood choices SOUP. Including the Beatles and Fleetwood Mac.
In my opinion...
Leon Russell needs to be in the writers HOF. He's had SO many of his songs "covered," it's hard to believe. Leon was one of my all time favs. (May he RIP). WHAT a voice and talent for writing, keyboards AND guitar. On his Will-o'-the Wisp Album, he played multiple instruments on almost every track, and multi-tracked it with a few other artists. WAY before computers.
If I had a son instead of a daughter, (Jessica... Allman Bros. BTW) He was either going to be Dylan Roach, or Leon Russell Roach. (My Dad's name was also Russell.)
Posted by: roachcane77 | October 04, 2019 at 02:55 PM
Aero, for the most part Banda and Rumph have done a good job coaching, BUT recruiting and being closers on the top talent has been below par.
Start out with all these 4 star players and then the decom and we fastly replace them with a few 4's and a bunch of 3's. When we have all them 4's to start with u hear nothing about the evaluation process but once they start dropping their no evaluation process is different and stars don't matter.

When guys like Kool and the Gang are in the songwriters hall of fame there are for sure artists out there that should be inducted
Not hating on Kool and the Gang I dig them. I'm just sayin
Posted by: solarcane | October 04, 2019 at 05:13 PM
Herb - in college there are so many coaches that can coach - what separates them in my opinion is how they recruit - they have not done a very good job in this area - we can’t keep the elite guys and we lose most of the very good ones - they are not that good of coaches to make up for it.
