The defense will be better than mediocre. The 1st team defense have feats to the offense. They got in the back field a lot. Tracy Howard was locked tight with his receivers even when he got beat. It was just the 'zip' on the ball & incredible receivers that made the difference. The line backers are a wild bunch of raptors. Go over the middle @ your own peril. Our O line will be the best out D line will face all year. .... Checked out the moles & gators spring games. Neither has a O line, QB, or difference maker @ running back.

One of my rituals is to wait 2 to 3 days after a U team loss b4 checking back on here in avoidance of the barrage of negativity that engulfs the blog after a loss. I guess from the comment, I was proving right again. Did not even bother to skim thru the old blog.

My bracket is all effed up. I have the canes playing 'cuse in the final 4 & Ohio state for the 'ship.

Offensive incompetency in the KSU vs KU game.

No matter the sport, we r the U. They hate Us. We thrive on hate. Lets go out and destroy everyone; any sport....

Your hypocrisy on this blog is funny. U always talk about the negativity of other blogs but yet u find nothing but fault with a game we always had under control against NC state? I guess state been incompetent had nothing to do with our defense? Outside of Reggie, no other players deserved criticism in the game. U guys r something else....

That's loosing 5 ships a year for 3 years. I can take that. What the hell are our FL congress men doing. They should be setting up an a panel to investigate the NCAA. They should drag them to the hill to face congress to answer question. Donna should use her connect in the government to get Holder to investigate the NCAA.

@tonycane If they believe that, then the NCAA is a pack of out of touch, witch hunting, clueless old white men.

@canerock: As Miami has gone Hollywood, the city has gone softer; more money. Less testastorone. I remember when u couldn't even play east coast rap driving in Miami in your car. Sell outs like DJ Khaled was smart to change his ways. Back in the day, him & irie used to kiss so much east coast ass. Even fat joe, who is east coast, had to 'kiss the ring' b4 he was fully accepted. Lil' Wayne needs to head back on the I-95 to the Noia. Honestly though Atlanta mofos make me more mad. Their whole culture is a rip off of Miami culture. Everything they did in music, we did it 1st. Booty music, crunk, u name it. But like u say, phuk'em all...

Death Penalty? How was this ever in the conversation? What we did was no where close to what SMU did. Far from what USC did. The injustice at Penn State didn't fetch one. We self reported ourselves go the NCAA. How is anyone talking of the death penalty. At best, we should be getting a slap on the pervabial wrist. Mark May should be banned from the Miami Dade county. If he comes, well then, 'whatever happens in Miami stays in Miami.'

I stand with sarasota.

We need to find under the radar assistant coaches that r fundamentally sound in their discipline. They wouldn't be hired away for about 3 years. By then we would have gotten the best/most out of them. This superstars we r bringing in r been picked apart by pro teams & power houses. We need continuity in coaching staff to complete our recovery.

If we make it out of this with little incident, ironically it might be because of the 2 most hated canes on this blog & others: Randy Shanon & Donna shalala.

I've got a new formule: its bear penis spray. we'll get some for the D line. it will make them strong so they can 'penetrate' the line of scrimmage.

I am not a racist, far from it, but I believe Shannon had other agendas other than winning football games at the University of Miami. Posted by: Schweaty Balls | February 07, 2013 at 12:47 PM No u r not a racist. U r a self contradicting, inarticulate moron and blundering idiotic 'has been.'

Preach Herb!

Their coach looks like an homeless bum. That's what I'm saying.

R u guys serious? Louisville? Teddy poo-water? GTFOOH. Louisville players look like high school players; scrawny looking. Do they have a S&C coach? They are definitely FL big 3 left overs. & don't tell me they r fast. It's like saying a black girl has ass: all FL players have speed & all black girls have ass. College football has changed. Like the NFL, u now have to be big, physical & quick. FL looked like they were playing with 4th graders, size-wise. FL lost because their coaches were incompetent. They think they r better than they r. And they r used to playing teams in the SEC that have no offense. Louisville will get murdered in the ACC. They r in for a rude awakening. And what's with teddy? Is he 12? What's with his cross eyes? I'm more than happy with our Stephen Morris. No regrets for not signing Teddy. Stephens better. An what's with their homeless looking coach?

well said canerock.

you guys are like a broken record that repeats itself continuously, except the music is bad. the worst thing about cane football is its fans. and no, not because we don't go to home games, because you all still think we are in the 90s when the mantra is 'we reload not rebuild; an era when 10-2 was an unacceptable season. well sorry to disappoint you relics, 'things don change.' you ask what changed: for starters, we thought the rest of the nation how to play football; they got smart and started raiding our top rated florida recruits; coaching improved; strength & conditioning improved; facilities improved. because of all these factors, 'any given Sunday' has become 'any given Saturday.' the room for error in a college football game has become too small for a mouse to fit in because of these reasons. a college team really needs all facets to be clicking for the team to go all the way and that includes familiarity with and execution of the scheme put in place by the coaching staff. and you certainly will not achieve that with a carousel of coaching. and what makes you all think any descent coach would want to come here the way we call for their heads after every mistake. Shannon should have had more time. at the start of the season, you all (I didn't) predicted doom and gloom for this season because we are really young. funny how 7-5 is now cause for 'execution.' if you think the record is fine because of where we are, then you have to know that us not having a better record was bound to be the result of a break down in one of the three facets. in this case, it happens to be Defense....deal with it. get a life. support your team and coaches. look to the future...

Notre dame is effin over rated, with their slow azz.

I'm watching the game in NYC @ a brother Jimmy's co-owned by vilma. long line like a club.

ryan, i've got to give it to u, u r an articulate idiot.ucannot just win with super stars if they dont play like a team; see the knicks. what makes the heat collection great is their unselfishness and ability to play like a team. your attempt to make your hick rown team look relevant is a joke. please go away!
