Happy Birthday, 86, and so many more to come. 💚🧡🟩🟧
I am at my house in Florida, making the decision to get chemo, or not.
As most of you know, I have colon cancer, had the tumor and 48 lymph nodes removed. Tumor and 2 lymph nodes were malignant. I have never had chemotherapy and am scared. Any of you have had chemo??
Happy New Year to all of you Canespacers. Say a prayer for me and GO CANES , on the 28th.
All the best to Jim Larranaga. A true Miami Hurricane!💚🧡🟧🟩

A true test of leadership is knowing when it's time to step aside so others can lead.

I'm in 💯% agreement with the Birthday Boy.

Let's Go CANES!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

DallasTX Cane

Nice article on ESPN today on Coach L. NIL claims another coaching great. Thank U for the Final Four Coach!

"At this point, after 53 years, I just didn't feel that I could successfully navigate this whole new world that I was dealing with because my conversations were ridiculous with an agent saying to me, 'Well, you can get involved [with a prospective player] if you're willing to go to $1.1 million,' and that would be the norm,"

Happy birthday, 86. 60 or 61?

Turned 62 this year!

86Cane

DTX...there is another good quote out there from Coach L where he said:

"What shocked me beyond belief was after we made the Final Four just 18 months ago. The very first time I met the players, 8 of them decided they were going to put their name in the portal. You have to ask yourself, What is this all about?"

I tried to tell U

I tried to warn U.

I tried to reason with U.

But U were absent from class and never wanted to learn the obvious lesson I was trying to teach U.

And, look at U now!

MLALUMNI 1970

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas Day. Will watch our Hurricanes play tomorrow and win!!
Happy New Year to everyone!

CaneWarrior

Happy belated birthday 86 and all the best for the new year!
Thanks for keeping the blog going and to all the regular contributors may you all have a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

360Cane

Interesting take by Coach L. Tell me, who should get the cut then if it's not the players:

"The NCAA reported $1.29 billion in revenue for the 2023 fiscal year, with more than 80% coming from March Madness."

orange 'n green in the vein

Best Hurricanes football team in two decades takes on the most successful Iowa State football team in program history, should be an entertaining game.

Cyclones +1 1/2 halftime points.
Hurricanes -6 points.
Over 59 1/2 total points.

Entertainment purposes only.

Terrance Sullivan

They only become the best Hurricanes team in 2 decades if they win today if not 2017 remains the best team in the past 2 decades. Yall got to stop rewarding these teams before the job is finished. Anyways Go Canes!

Terrance Sullivan

360Cane stop being disingenuous Coach L believes players should get paid and anyone that truly knows Coach L and the program knows that.

Sarasota 'cane

Make players sit out a year if they transfer and have not graduated like the “old days”. That would slow down the transfers and also benefit the players that do decide to transfer with an extra year of NIL money if they leave.

Terrance Sullivan

I ain’t a fan of that Sota! Unless Coaches have to sit out a year as well! We don’t need to overdo it but yeah maybe some type of penalty maybe miss a 1/3 of the season and thus that should mean you take a minimum you take at least a 33.3% discount to transfer on Your New NIL Deal! That’s at least fair, or the new place that acquired you has to pay a 1/3 transfer fee!

Sarasota 'cane

Well I’m losing my faith in the game and at some point I’ll quit watching. The entire process is a joke that’s being governed by the highest bidder.

Sarasota 'cane

And Miami will never compete with the highest bidder’s. Nor should they!

Sarasota 'cane

With that said…Gameday!

Go ‘canes!

MLALUMNI 1970

GO MIAMI!!!!🟧🟩🧡💚
Oh piss! Now what, Mario????

YooperCane

lol! Miami opening in typical Miami fashion.

CaneWarrior

Have to agree with you ‘Sota.

VA Cane

Yep here we go again.....didthe D practice anything during the time before the game? Easy TDs for them....us too.....i would like to watch a good game....not a game where both teams look like they have never played the game in their lives!!!!!
Can you say Lack of Fundamentals? I can!
LOL!!!!!

MLALUMNI 1970

Looks like it’s going to be a high scoring game. Wish I was there, with all of you. 🧡💚🟧🟩

VA Cane

I have high school kids who tackle so much better.....you cannot tackle with your arms....grabbing. Coverage is not good either. We have so much to work on; we better get it together before 2025!

YooperCane

I swear, our defense sucks ass. I hope that they can figure the D out for next season. If we can’t, it’s gonna be a bad 2025 season.

YooperCane

Lance has got to go! Get the damn clown out of Coral Gables. That dude can’t work his D out of a wet brown paper bag!

YooperCane

The O looking good so far, other than the opening. The D is our achilles heel! Lance, what the hell are you doing?!?! Get your shot together!

YooperCane

I absolutely love our secondary! They are playing with lights out!😂

YooperCane

Great job for the O keeping us in the this game, now, if the D can keep the Iowa Sate O off the field , we would be in great shape.

JCane

Anyone know what happened on the sideline earlier between Barrow and Lightfoot?

JCane

D backfield is getting a lot of help in the portal. I would expect at least 1-2 departures still.

Meanwhile, I hope many folks bet the over on this game

MLALUMNI 1970

I just want the U to win. Plain and simple. 🟩🟧💚🧡

VA Cane

CW1 is a great kid think he can play on Sunday, he kept us in this season!

I am so glad we were not included in the playoff. The O is good, the D would have gotten woodsheded by any of the 12 chosen. This show by our D is so embarrassing...all levels DBs the worst. My HS team would pound this D!

2025 gonna be tough one. Hey keep playing lets try to win....

YooperCane

C’mon D! Let’s get the stop here!!

YooperCane

Nope, the D doesn’t come up with the BIG STOP!

YooperCane

Do we continue to out Emory in or do we continue with Cam?’

YooperCane

Let’s go D! Put this game away!

Herbieibis

I think we need a portal qb.
I knew this would be what it is with Williams. 2 passes batted down and 1 for 4.

VA Cane

I see nothing in Williams.....another standing statue QB.....he's confused and cannot throw the ball down the field. If thats our future it does not look real strong to me.

D gonna have to make a stop.
