Game Day: Miami vs Central Michigan

So we have been told that this is a game where UM could be lulled to sleep.

That Miami will be cold, content and stale and stumble across the finish line.

But I disagree. And disagree strongly.

Miami will be hot and bothered and somewhat nasty.

CANESPACE PREDICTION: Miami 51 - CMU 13

Comments

[Elliott]

Let’s beat everyone left!!

[Terrance Sullivan]

FIU is now 1-3 so whatever Magic Butch had has evaporated. Now let's go out here and Kick CMU Arse Later Today at the Rock!

[Herbieibis]

Dam, haven't I seen those 2 chicks before and they still look the same, GOOD!!!!

[IraqiCane]

Now I'm feeling hot and bothered and somewhat nasty. LOL

[alpine]

I like highly rated recruits, but I like players who perform more.

Windy like 2 star Ed Reed for instance?

solar - as one of the head jedi's of this blog, who has tons of blog points in his account, i'm sure the blog police will go light on you

. . . but let it be known, that ed reed was being recruited in the 90's and in the changing world of recruiting, it's way past time to retire his good name as the poster boy of the 2*

(and speaking of reed, as was pointed out, another reed just flashed the canes-bust signal by joining the transfer wire)

[alpine]

Jakai Clark and Zion Nelson were also two stars.

i'm hoping 1 or both of these guys will become the new low-star poster
boys in the near future!

[alpine]

I hope our coaches are spending more time evaluating potential recruits than I am. I don’t want to see the next Lamar Jackson slip through our hands.

see your post about clark & nelson
or are you only talking about qb recruitment?

[alpine]

speaking of recruits, do any of you have recruits (besides the 5*, can't-miss types), that you were sure were gonna be fantastico
. . . and they sank without a trace?

for me, one big disappointment of this type that comes to mind, was OL BAR MILO
. . . being connected with kaaya and being obviously waaaaaay above average intelligence, i thought he was gonna kill it on the line for a good 4 years . . . i was so sold, that i kept imagining him dealing with injuries, as the reason he couldn't get on the field the first couple years
. . . then i started to wonder; but didn't immediately jump ship ... it took me a while to realise, the ship was mauled so badly it was already underwater and i just needed to swim away from the wreckage

[HillviewCane]

Who is currently the best player on our team?

[AeroCane]

Hill
I’m going with bandy - I also feel he is too small for nfl so I’m hoping he stays 1 more year

[solarcane]

DJ Dallas

[CGNC]

TSully we will get in around 2:30 or 3 and try and find you guys in E2.Our seats are in 347 Row 12 if we miss you.

But seriously, if Butch could just explain what he was looking for, and what he saw, and what he thought a player COULD become then the MAGIC could return to The U. At least I think that is true?

Posted by: 86Cane | September 20, 2019 at 11:35 PM

Butch = it factor in recruiting

[86Cane]

Now I'm feeling hot and bothered and somewhat nasty. LOL

U catch on quick.

[86Cane]

Best Player? OL Donaldson, at Guard, not tackle.

[solarcane]

Enos gives CMU some payback

UM scores over 60 today

[VA Cane]

We should win today.....2 sandlot teams in a row should be no problem......its sad to have to get wins like this to get to 500 and feel good. I do not like this kind of football for any of the top teams....ooops....forgot we aint one any.
longer.....
My HS center played college and now works as a professor and runs the patent office for a major school, that has won a couple titles....beat us in one....Rick is a great guy and we talk often. He told me this week " its sad how a once mighty dynasty has fallen form that high to being a average mid major program"...ouch! I want to win today, but I do not count this and BC as Real Wins...just a stat.
Hope we will get some tune up time today...

[VA Cane]

My concern is this....we beat a sandlot team and should today.....what if we had played UCF and Boise State....supposedly lower tier good teams....our record would certainly be 0-4....thats reality....but I would rather play them than cupcakes...you only get better by playing real teams not tune ups....yea you pad stats get that warm feeling....but when you got to tune up against a real team...you gonna get tuned up.....

That was amazing!

[orange 'n green in the vein]

Posted by: 86Cane | September 21, 2019 at 09:48 AM

On offense, sure. Overall, Quarterman. At least of current draft eligible players.

[solarcane]

Posted by: IraqiCane | September 21, 2019 at 11:03 AM

Subscribe to his channel and hit videos, Im a drummer but I built a few electric diddley bows after watching Johnson shred every stringed instrument known to man
Glad you dug it.

[solarcane]

OGV,
I think Quarterman has a lot more pressure in him this year, with the defensive back situation.
I think after 3 games Dallas is giving the most bang for the buck for now

[BigWindyCane]

Best Player? OL Donaldson, at Guard, not tackle.

Posted by: 86Cane | September 21, 2019 at 09:48 AM

💯! And Shaq on defense (top ten rush defense in the nation), with Pinckney, DeeJay and Bandy close behind at this point in the season.

[solarcane]

sota,
received the tumbler.
It is awesome!
Breaking it in tonight then right up on the Canes memorabilia shelf
Thanks again
Go Canes!

[Go Canes!!]

Can Jim Harbaugh actually be in trouble at Michigan?

They're getting smashed by Wisconsin.

[86Cane]

sota,
received the tumbler.
It is awesome!

Posted by: solarcane | September 21, 2019 at 01:37 PM

SarasotaCane making Canespace better all by himself one day and one tumbler at a time!

[roachcane77]

BTW, I would like to NEVER, EVER, see us play Wisconsin again... PLEASE!

Well coached, and an O-Line that we just DREAM about having down here...

[HillviewCane]

The highest recruiting rank Wisconsin had in the past 4 years is "34" !!! That was in 2014

[Sarasota 'cane]

Posted by: solarcane | September 21, 2019 at 01:37 PM

Glad you like it Solar!

Just got to my seats! Gonna rock The Rock!

Let's go 'canes!

[AeroCane]

I want to see more of lingard today as well as brooks; I would of added pope, but he’s out

[Go Canes!!]

Pope out today.

[NativeCane]

Miami Defense will Pop Pimpleton!

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

That Whisky OL is always so fine.

I wish my last name were Pimpleton. My first name I'd change to Big Daddy. The Dude aka Big Daddy Pimpleton.

[solarcane]

Is this where we put our foot on there neck

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

Bring in Perry. Jarren needs a wake up call.

[Basura]

Our OL is trash.

[BigWindyCane]

So far with 12 minutes left in the second quarter, our Canes don’t look very good. Just too immature. I hope they pick it up

[86Cane]

Score and game updates please!

[86Cane]

Score and game updates please!

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

Miami OL being dominated by... Central Michigan.

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

7-2 Miami. Miami OL getting their sh*t pushed in.

[IraqiCane]

7-2 Miami
11:06 in the second.

[Basura]

2-7.

The Chipps got 2, yes 2, safeties on one possession (one was overturned)

[86Cane]

The highest recruiting rank Wisconsin had in the past 4 years is "34" !!! That was in 2014

Posted by: HillviewCane | September 21, 2019 at 02:46 PM

You just made a strong argument for COACHING over talent!

[BigWindyCane]

Our OL isn’t the best, but Jarren needs better pocket awareness and he can’t expect to hold onto the ball for 5+ seconds

[IraqiCane]

Meanwhile at LSU, Joe Burrow's first half would be a good game for most QBs.

18/24, 357 yards, 4 TD

[Sarasota 'cane]

This team is awful!

[Basura]

BWC, actually if our OL were even serviceable, yes, he should be able to hold it for 5sec vs this team.

[86Cane]

So I am missing a wing-dinger of a game huh?

To think I could have spent $500 to go to Miami and watch this game in person?

[BigWindyCane]

Not very good at all! This team is flat! Third down defense is horrible

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

3rd down C.Mich. is doing it to the D.

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

Garvin just blindsided the F outta the QB. Bethel recovery.

[86Cane]

Meanwhile at LSU, Joe Burrow's first half would be a good game for most QBs.

18/24, 357 yards, 4 TD

Posted by: IraqiCane | September 21, 2019 at 05:05 PM

I remember when Miami...oh, never mind.

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

The incompetence is real.

[Basura]

Tate time?

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

Perry time.

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

Canes 1st down at 52. Williams run.

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

OL destroyed again. Loss of 3.

[Basura]

This is embarrassing

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

Snapped it into JT4. Fumble. Stadium booing. 3rd & 17

[BigWindyCane]

Offensive line isn’t playing well. Need a spark.

Hedley is a great punter though

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

Williams tripped up after 6 or 7 yard scamper. OL sucks again. Miami is terrible and an embarrassment.

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

Hedley is the truth.

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

Haha penalty on Knowles. Punt again.

[BigWindyCane]

Oops! I spoke too soon about Hedley!

[Basura]

Headly effed that up pretty good

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

Miami is a joke. They'll lose about 6 games this season. Blake should be fired. Done with play by play.

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

My fault guys. I gave the kid some praise.

[Truth]

💩

[BigWindyCane]

Perry? Tate? DeeJay?

[Basura]

The fans should empty out at half.

[86Cane]

Stadium booing.

Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | September 21, 2019 at 05:22 PM

No that sound you heard was me booing from Orlando.

[86Cane]

Perry? Tate? DeeJay?

Posted by: BigWindyCane | September 21, 2019 at 05:25 PM

You know it's bad when you are asking for a backup QB in the first half against Central Flippin Michigan. Can it get any worse than that? Does this team even practice?

[Basura]

Oh, I think we wanted Tate and Perry to go in at OL.

[BigWindyCane]

Nelson isn’t ready

[BigWindyCane]

Scaife will have to play LT

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

The OL is f*ckin terrible.

[Basura]

Zion is the Hurricanes = Basura

[solarcane]

Soup this is your last year for Canespace if was a good run brother

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

And you know whats worse than the OL? the stupid f*ckin fans that sunshine pump a 2* OT starting as a Freshman.

[BigWindyCane]

Nelson just isn’t ready for prime time yet

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

Nelson looks like a 2* OT.

[Basura]

I kinda wouldn’t mind a Chip W

[86Cane]

This team is awful!

Posted by: Sarasota 'cane | September 21, 2019 at 05:09 PM

This is embarrassing

Posted by: Basura | September 21, 2019 at 05:21 PM

The fans should empty out at half.

Posted by: Basura | September 21, 2019 at 05:26 PM

There IT is right there.

And exactly why I didn't renew my season tickets. Been through 12 years of this crap over and over again. I knew better.

[Go Canes!!]

Defense came to play.

This offensive line is putrid, again.

[BigWindyCane]

I guarantee that the CMU QB will remember Mr. Bandy after that hit.

The defense has been pitching a shutout. The offense is Basura, especially Nelson. The Canes have to make a change

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

7-2 at the half y'all.

[86Cane]

Oh, I think we wanted Tate and Perry to go in at OL.

Posted by: Basura | September 21, 2019 at 05:30 PM

Nah, put Headly at LT. Let Zion punt?

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

Manny is in way over his head. Gee... who's have thought? Idk... maybe anyone with a f*cking brain. Terrible, lazy hire. Blake should be fired after this. He hired his friend and didnt even do a search.

[Basura]

Can we use the portal to take, literally, and other 5 OLmen? It’s like they only studied tape on the human turnstile Pipho.

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

By the way, UNC is losing to App St. Yeah... Manny Diaz, lol.

[BigWindyCane]

CMU has a defensive game plan. With a weak OL and a QB that struggles throwing deep. CMU defense is crowding the box, is taking away the run and the short passes, and daring Jarren to throw long and the offense to hold their blocks.

At least the Canes see how ACC teams will play them.

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

I can not sit here and listen to Mark Richt talk about what Miami is doing wrong, when he couldnt hire Mark Helfrich.

[Herbieibis]

Nelson in Jan. At 240. In Sept. At 285 or 290. To much weight to quick. Should of been RS. A give the dude some time but obviously beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Now that beholder was or is needs to reevaluate they're re cruiting methods. I guess kearning on the job isn't for everyone. Can't get the game so I don't have to watch that garbage.

[86Cane]

A SCENE FROM HARD ROCK STADIUM...

Hundreds of angry fans, disgusted by their team's putrid, embarrassing play in the first half leave their seats, tear up their tickets and head to the parking lot. They curse out loud as they trudge down the long, circular ramps to exit the stadium. They have all done this before and every year they get all excited, filled with hope and only hope not to have to do it again this year. But, nonetheless, here they are.

They get to their cars in the parking lot at the tailgating site where a few hours ago they ate, drank and we merrily expecting to give another trash team an azz whooping. Now they hang their heads in silence and stare off into the distance wondering how their team could be this bad against a nothing team from nowhere.

They open several adult beverages to ease the pain but it is still there, deep in their hearts and souls. If only the memory of the game could be washed away, but no, the pain will not end today or even tonight. No, they will all go back to their homes or hotels and watch real college football teams play real college football and make it look real easy and wonder: "Why can't Miami do that?"

Change coaches? Change QBs? Change stadium names?

Change uniforms, change cute slogans, add more designer jewelry on the sideline?

Deserve victory? Meet with Jimmy Johnson? The New Miami?

Nope, that's all been tried before.

We are stuck in groundhog day and we can't escape it. We are a now just a shadow of our own greatness. We can see the shadow but no matter what we try to do, we just can't get back to it.

We just rinse, wash and repeat.

We are stuck in a cruel and vicious time warp.

When will it ever end?

[Basura]

Silvera coming back soon? He was ballin at the end of last season.

[Herbieibis]

Crowding the line of scrimmage has been the recipe forever to beat us.
Least we have FSU in the gutter with us. Da Ville just scored their 24 point in a row and have taken the lead.
One thing The Herb has said for awhile is we need to trash the dam outdated pro style offence. I know we are listed as multiple but the only time we need to run it is on the goal line.
We can't get the oh line talent to run pro style. Maybe if we had those Whisky boys yes!

[solarcane]

Jimmy Murphy playing harder than anyone on the field
Smh
