Well, at least we have smart athletes.

JCane

5 of them row. Who knew the kids in the boat were the smartest.

Busy next week coming up for recruits announcing. Looking like the secondary is gonna be well-stocked, at least...hopefully.

Nice blog 86, smarts matter too! My kiddo made a few of those ACC honor rolls during her soccer days

I will say this; no matter where we finish in any sport, male or female the object of a university is to educate young people. It has to be the prime objective to assure local state national and international advancement and success!

I love winning it matters! I hate losing! You all know that! However, winning in the classroom to me is much more important than winning on the field.

In 40 years I never had a losing season or a .500 season won a bunch of Super Bowls....had kids star in HS college had 1 player go to UM Dedrick Epps and 4 go to the pros. this is wonderful but I am more proud of my players who have gone onto to be community leaders in government business sports and education. This is how you develop a community and make it better. You mentor your players on and off the field if you do not you have failed.

I am very proud of the UM kids; my niece went to UM and got a wonderful education and is doing well in marine biology and research. It cost me a lot of money but what well spent money. Her fiancee has just asked me to if he might marry her; he might get my permission...LOL!!!! He will have to change his loyalties from UGA to UM....that's what I told him!!!! LOL!!!

Great kudos to UM administration, faculty, and staff. Job well done, excellence is a great thing.

So we have achieved in the classroom, now we need to keep it going!

Now went must focus on the real fundamentals of football, and I see it has been the biggest aspect lacking in our football team since 2002-03 team....its time to get after it.


“Gentlemen, we will chase perfection, and we will chase it relentlessly, knowing all the while we can never attain it. But along the way, we shall catch excellence.”

This is what Life Family School and Football...in that order is all about!

Hope all are well....its that time again family....Soup...whats up with the bus? remember we had to tow it back to Miami last year!!!!! any news?

God bless you all! VAC

Prayers for Bernie. Kosar was diagnosed with Cirrhosis of the liver (Stage 3 of 4) in 2023 and Parkinson's Diseases this year

CGNC

WOW DTC and VA at the same time. How is everyone?
Skool - sad about Bernie but he seems really upbeat from the articles I have read

VA Cane

CGNC glad to drop in...a lot going on but never too bz for UM academics and football....sorry for Bernie...he has had some tough times and I pray he will fight the good fight and keep pushing forward and keep being positive. He was a great hero for UM first title .....redshirt Frosh QB, 19-35 2 TDs MVP 1984 Orange Bowl....what a hero. God bless him I am with him!

By the way, I wish ESPN would get dumba** Pat McAfee off College Game Day....stupidt tv show idiot commentator on fake wrestling and all around A** Clown.....he is a jerk a loudmouth and a fraud....get a job at McDs and get off my college football Saturday. Not a fan he is a moron!!! Dont know how the others can tolerate him...not funny not entertaining just stupid! JMO

Strong take VA Cane!

“Her fiancee has just asked me to if he might marry her; he might get my permission...LOL!!!! He will have to change his loyalties from UGA to UM....that's what I told him!!!! LOL!!!“

… Give him hell VA! LOL Tell him anyone can be a UGA fan, it’s easy these days. It take a real FAN to stick with The Canes nowadays! Haha. Maybe times are a changing?? Maybe The Bus got its engine overhauled?? And Marine Biology?… that is awesome! Happy for you and your niece. She sounds like an excellent young scientist. And we just wrapped up Shark Week!

Hey CGNC! Mid-life has thrown me a few curve balls (like everyone I’m sure), but just gotta keep swinging. Hope you’re good!

DallasTX Cane

Suks to hear about Bernie. Loved that guy and even rooted for the Browns because of him - not enough to wear their jersey or anything insane like that lol. But he was a player that made the players around him better and physically did more with less. It’s inspiring to see his positive attitude and just hope for the best for him.

JCane

Pickett announces today at 4pm. Likely Oregon vs the U.

Feel so badly for Bernie Kosar. Such a magnificent Hurricane quarterback, for sure. He loved the U and played his heart out. I never thought he drank that much. I don’t drink at all, I take Tramadol for back pain.
On another note, my love, Richard, for 40 years, fell, has a fractured back. His kids have put him in a facility and have tried to keep me from seeing him. So evil of them. I need all my Canes buddies to say a prayer for me, so I can get in to see him. He’s the love of my life.
I love all our Canespacers.❤️

Old Skool

Cormani McClain metastasizing at Florida ...

The news regarding McClain comes fresh off another report which stated that McClain had consistently been either late or absent from multiple team events including lifts, meetings and other required affairs.

JCane

I think Pickett is actually announcing at 7pm.

Truly, sad news about Kosar. He ushered in the era of national championships at UM.

JCane

All the rumors for Pickett were either UMiami or Oregon with LSU a distant 3rd. Gotta love the recruiting world, as he verbals to LSU. Huge loss for the Canes, as a 5 star DB from FL, and part of a legacy family. That being said, I doubt the U will stop recruiting him, and with enough wins this season, anything should be possible for recruiting.

Herbieibis

And the beat goes on with top notch DB's heading elsewhere and the same with WR's.

MLALUMNI 1970

Hi Canespacers, Just checking in to see how all of you are doing. I am with my love, Richard. 40 years in love. I need prayers for him. Thank you everyone. I love all of you.🙏❤️

That is terrible Marylou. Prayers for Richard

Terrance Sullivan

Prayers for Richard

JCane

Thinking of your family and you, Marylou

JCane

Jamboree Antoine announces tomorrow at 4pm, between UM and LSU supposedly, with rumors over the last 2 days having him trending to LSU again following the Pickett verbal

JCane

4 star dB Jaboree Antoine from LA picks UM. Truly, the dB verbals do look pretty darn good, in spite of missing out on Pickett.

Hope & pray for the best MaryLou

VA Cane


God bless Richard give him strength, and may God give you both comfort and care. He gave you each other long ago, and he will be with you always
VAC!!!!


MLALUMNI 1970

Thank you so much for all of your support and prayers. He’s good brain wise, but the body is giving out. My Richard is in a long term Medical Center here in Michigan. I’m with him everyday. Thank you for everything. My heart is broken, because he is my true love for over 40 years.🙏❤️🙏❤️❤️🙏❤️

MLALUMNI 1970

I love all of you, but I think you all know that.
What’s all your prognosis for the football season?? I love my Canes, just like all of you.🟩🟧💚🧡
Hope our USA athletes do well in Paris. Been to Paris only once, but it was awesome. Went decades ago, when my mom was alive.❤️
How is my friend 86 doing? Hope he and Maria are doing well.

Woohoo more money for everybody

As part of the new revenue-sharing model — beginning in 2025-26 academic year — by-sport scholarship restrictions are eliminated, and schools are permitted to offer scholarships to the entirety of their rosters. The new roster limit figures are not final until the approval of settlement terms.

Football, with a current scholarship restriction of 85, will now have a roster limit of 105 — a 20-scholarship increase for those schools willing to give the maximum. In an important note for football, the 105 may not be a requirement until the start of the competitive season, giving coaches flexibility to go beyond that figure during preseason camp

Herbieibis

Yeah, some teams were carrying 130, counting walkon players. Now the walkons will pretty much be eliminated or will be very few. This probably limit some contact during the week as players get injured.

Old Skool

Amari Wallace likely out for his freshman year. Suffered a compound leg fracture in a scrimmage. average recovery time 15 months. Likely medical redshirt

Old Skool

Alex Sidrick runs over one player then dashes the equivalent of 99 yards as time expires. The US women beat the Aussies to win the bronze medal in rugby.

Old Skool

Zion Nelson has retired from football. Good luck in his future endeavors which I imagine will not include any Irish dancing
