Great weekend for the kids and coach L...they have had a great season so far and there is no quit. Houston is a fine team...a tough draw but we have to think we can play with them and beat them.

I have always taken The Dale Earnhardt approach to competing, winning and being a champion!!!!

"If you're not a race driver, stay the hell home. Don't come here and grumble about going too fast. Get the hell out of the race car if you've got feathers on your legs or azz. Put a kerosene rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat that candy azz.”


We take them on, head on...we go out there to win!!!! Any other approach is unacceptable. 40 years ago, NC State took them on and beat them under impossible odds...nobody thought they could win...but they did!!!!

I was 24 and there were 30 of my good friends gathered at a buddies house. We had cases of beer and were wild raising hell. They won...we still had cases...nobody made it to work the next day we all crashed there!!!!!

They were champions...we can be champions!!!
Go Canes we are proud of the team!!!!!

MLALUMNI 1970

I love it! Watch every game that is on TV. I have bronchitis pretty bad. Don’t know how I got it. Have pills and an inhaler. Watching them play baseball right now. Won’t be going back to Michigan, till May.
M best to everyone.

CGNC

Got some Canes over.....where???? HERE!!!

Indiana must be sick of Miami by now LOL. UM Baseball in first place in the Coastal.

Paging the Football program.....

GO CANES!

CGNC

Marylou feel better! VA good to see you back on the blog

DallasTX Cane

Hey CGNC! Looks like an old-timers convention here! Ha lol. Nothing like a little success to bring me out from under the rock.

SWEET 16 is SO sweet!

Coach L has solidified his rep - no more barking about him allowed!

Houston will be tough. I like our odds though. Matchups are decent.

GO CANES!

Old Skool

Yepp Old Timers -- the non-meme team.

a convention minus Canechic, Aqua, Solar, Six, Big 1906, Ocala Cane, Daddeh from the Islands and many many more.

Dan Tana

It's good for the new generations of UM students to get a taste of national relevance in a major Canes sport. The fact that they play in an on campus arena (an electric one at that during big games) just adds to the great experience a UM sporting event can be.

Watching the Canes competing at the highest levels in the Madness of late March is as good as it gets. It only makes one hungrier for a successful football program (and more Omaha appearances for the baseball team!). Let's hope Coach L's success motivates the others at Hecht to raise the bar.

Does Miami still have a football team? Haven’t heard one peep about spring practice

Not to take anything from the outstanding season for both the men’s and women’s teams

Herbieibis

Well KYcane, we still need a down field WR and we still need another Big bodied DT but other than that they've had 5 practices. Taylor, Mesidor, Harvey and Hunt all not participating.

I'm tired of posting about or reading about Greentree all stars during the spring, only to have most of them not show up when it's live. "Show me in the fall" is the way I'm looking at it

Terrance Sullivan

There you go Ohio Cane! The Football Team needs to earn its way back and the time to that is in the Fall!

CGNC

DTC!!! Good to "see" you!

Women's BB Game tomorrow at 2:30 on ESPN

Men's BB Game 7:15 on CBS

MLALUMNI 1970

Hi CGNC Just got 3 scripts to get filled. I will feel better by tomorrow night, by hook or by crook. Sending a friend to pick up 3 scripts and an inhaler. What’s your thoughts? I often think about meeting you when I flew down from Michigan, for a game, many years ago.
Tough games tomorrow, for sure. But, so exciting.
GO CANES, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN!!!❤️🏖☀️🏝️🏝

I LOVE MY CANES AND CAN’T WAIT FOR TOMORROW NIGHT!!❤️GO CANES, FROM DOWN HERE IN FLORIDA.❤️🏖🏝🏝️☀️⛱

orange 'n green in the vein

Poplar is still not cleared yet for the game, they will not be able to win without him available to defend the wing and playing well offensively, even if his minutes are somewhat reduced and the leftovers entrusted to Beverly since he's now the one with the healthier back between them . . .

CGNC

LadyCanes up 46-33 against Villanova at the half!

MLALUMNI 1970

Watching Lady Canes, winning at the half. 46 - 33 at the half! Awesome!!!!

MLALUMNI 1970

We have to root for the guys tonight. Tough without Poplar.
CGNC and I think alike.

CGNC

Elite 8!!!
70-65 Miami, was scary for awhile with Destiny Harden on the bench in foul trouble. She is the nexus of that team for sure. Well done ladies!!!!

MLALUMNI 1970

You said it C G N C! The Elite 8 and now the men tonight! I could hardly believe it!!

MLALUMNI 1970

Where are all the CANES out there??

DallasTX Cane

Congrats to the Ladies!! Final 8 = SO COOL

So cool to be the first in CANES history. Now it’s the Men’s turn!

CGNC

Let's Go! Pack, Miller and Walker having themselves a game!

Sarasota 'cane

So far, so good! If UM keeps doing what they’re doing, they’ll keep getting what they’re getting!

Congratulations to the Lady Canes! They’re ELITE!

Go ‘canes!🏀

MLALUMNI 1970

Men are playing pretty good, shocking the announcers, too. They never give us any credit. Never did.
Go Canes, in the second half!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

MLALUMNI 1970

Amazing thought. Having both men and women in the final!!!!

VA Cane

The kids are awesome tonight....long way to go but they look sharp....can you say...or can I say...dont kill me yall...Fundamentals...smart execute do the basics right each trip up and down the floor.....go Canes!!!

Sarasota 'cane

Miami has the best coach in the ACC.

CGNC

Great win, scary moment with Omier's ankle. Pack on fire. They all played really well. Wong looked like the roadrunner, he was so fast

GO CANES!!!!

orange 'n green in the vein

Great team win dragging the final #1 seed into a race to 80 game and lighting up a good defensive roster as a team. Hope they keep enjoying shooting on the rims in Kansas City as much as they did tonight in the biggest game in program history Sunday.

Terrance Sullivan

How Elite It Is For our Ladies and Gentlemen as Both Are Elite Eight Bound Wooooo! Go Canes Baby!

Dan Tana

Congrats, gents!! I hope ya'll appreciate the value of a great, nationally recognized Bball (and baseball) program and this thrill of kind of excitement beyond the FB bowl season.

Nothing beats March Madness when your beloved team is in it. Go Canes. Bring it home.

orange 'n green in the vein

Texas is a little banged up in the front court, which makes the match up for them unfavorable enough that 4.5 points is too many to be favored by over Miami at this juncture, for me. They don't mind trying to get out and run so dragging them into a half court execution contest may be where they're most vulnerable to an upset at least from the style point of view.

Program is playing on a giant pile of house money at this point anyway . . .

UMike

Any Spacers going to the Spring game?

JCane

I guess the question truly is, OGV, who isn't playing with house money at this point. All #1s have been knocked out. Several remaining teams don't have the appearance of being s hoops that should be there, like SDSU and FAU, but keep winning. For UM the problem is the toughest teams are right in front of them, like Texas and maybe UConn (if...), but this team seems to feel like they belong, as opposed to last year's group that seemed excited just to be there (yes, an overstatement). Coach L is as good a game day manager as any coach still standing. Although I think Texas probably wins this game more often than loses, I think the Canes are going to be very tough to beat if they avoid further injury. A win would truly be beyond exciting. Can't wait to see them play tomorrow. Fwiw, ESPN reseeding the last 8 puts UConn 1, Texas 2 and UM 5. Guessing a 5 seed at this juncture would be further locker room material.

JCane

On the diamond, Canes beat FAU midweek but got blasted on the road at Wake yesterday, 11-0.

orange 'n green in the vein

West region final feature two teams that must win to not consider the season a failure, and it's going to shed blue blood at the end. Texas is the biggest favorite in the regional final games and the seeding held up until this game for them in their region, they can't lose this and consider this season a success no matter how insane their coach's marriage was or is. Kansas State can't lose their regional final to a #9 seed minor conference opponent and consider this season a successful one, though compared to preseason expectations they probably are the closest team to sitting on top of a house money pile in the other regionals without playing on the bank's chips yet at this point in the tournament. South regional final is the Cinderella Ball this year.

So only the teams from Florida, way southern California and Nebraska are where the piles are for now at the respective table seats.
