Soup, please don't block the LSU troll. You just can't teach that kind of dumb and it is pretty entertaining in this dead pre-camp period.

Good addition, Dude. He likes lots of beer so will have lots of drinking opportunities. A can for every td given up could make for a good game.

Just got a note from a relative who is a Houston Cougar fan asking me about their new defensive coordinator---Mark "no D" D'Onofrio.
My response:
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
tell your OC to plan on needing 60+ to win.

Sadly, if NCAA doesn't loosen scholarship $ and rules on baseball, I'm afraid the good old days will be the good old days.
Only get 11.7 scholarships (full time equivalents) that you can spread around up to 27 guys.
If you get a 1/2 scholarship offer from Morris, which is pretty typical, you still need to come up with a 32.5 k since UM all in is now 65k.
If eligible for in state tuition you could walk on to Noles or Turds and pay less than what the 1/2 would cost you at UM.
Miami To Face Minnesota in Big 10-ACC Challenge
The Atlantic Coast and Big Ten Conferences announced Monday, the University of Miami men's basketball team will face the University of Minnesota on Nov. 29 in the 19th annual Big Ten-ACC Challenge. The event – in which each conference hosts seven games – matches all 14 Big Ten teams against all ...
Only team with a winning ACC record to not make the NCAA tournament in 30 years, didn't impact herbie's thinking I guess.
Final Four
Estela Perez-Somarriba of the University of Miami women's tennis team cemented her name in the record books Saturday afternoon. With a 6-4, 6-3 victory over No. 26 Kate Fahey of Michigan, No. 40 Perez-Somarriba became the first freshman in the program's rich history to make the Final Four of the...
I was fearful everyone was underestimating the hatred the NCAA has for UM. We can never leave qualifying for a tourney or the outcome of any game in doubt. Must be decisive or clowns like this baseball committee or Terry Porter will f*** us.

We sure made the bottom of the 9th intersting. Don't remember ever seeing a game end on runner hit by batted ball. Limp off hit by batted ball.
Prime Time
The University of Miami's Week 3 game at in-state rival Florida State on Sept. 16 will be televised nationally by ABC at 8 p.m., the Atlantic Coast Conference and ESPN announced Thursday. This is the Hurricanes' first ABC prime-time appearance since last year's game against the Seminoles on Oct....
Thanks, TS. I didn't know that. 11 tomorrow way better for me. Couldn't have watched today.
The Shot Heard Around The ACC
The seniors saved their best for last. Johnny Ruiz hit a two-run home run, Joe Gomez and Christopher Barr combined for three hits, and Edgar Michelangeli capped Miami's regular season with a walk-off, three-run home run, as the Hurricanes finished off their first weekend sweep of the year with a...
And now back to sports---lots of talking head speculation about who gets in the tournament. I've seen the Canes from a #3 to out. Most have us on the bubble.
Given how NCAA loves to bust us, I think we're in a must win today.

The Heats greatest asset is Florida income tax laws.
$10 million earned in Fla costs you zero Fla income tax. In California about $1.2 million.

Didn't see Vince W dunk, but when Texans were on the HBO pre-season show there was a scene at Wilfork's house where he was shooting hoops on his outside court. Absolutely draining 3s. He's an athlete.

Makes sense. Kinda crazy anyway, esp before they've even played their senior year. Guys growing, changes schools to see better competition, etc

Catching up on a few days worth here. Good stuff.
Wonder what star system Ariz uses? He shows Silvera as a 3 and Rivals/ESPN/etc all show him as 4. My meaningless ranking is a 4. He has the potential to be really good.
On the running back conversation, Yearby was a solid college rb. Lots of those don't make it in the NFL. The slower ones might not even get a look.
The real disappointment was Gus Edwards. Maybe the problem was hanging that bus name on him. His 235 had all the hit of a guy about 150. Literally never saw him run over anyone.

Oh, and any discussion of NFL front office incompetence that doesn't have the Browns on it gets an F for being incomplete.
The NFLU: Nine Hurricanes Selected In 2017 Draft
The University of Miami football program had nine former players selected in the 2017 NFL Draft in Philadelphia. The nine Hurricanes chosen in the draft are the most since Miami had nine players selected in 2006. This year's NFL Draft class marks the eighth time in the modern era that the Hurric...
Any Cane player who graduated in the last 15 years would have been better off playing for the current coaching staff than any other group. Richt was genius for negotiating a DC/OC/asst coach salary scale that enabled him to attract real talent. He wouldn't otherwise be successful.
Ship heading in the right direction.

1. Better player---Kayaa
2. If had 11 alike----Duke
One Word Answers Only: Brad or Duke
Please answer the two simple and direct questions below. The only acceptable response are one word: BRAD or DUKE. Who was a better player at the University of Miami? Duke Johnson or Brad Kaaya? If you had to have 11 players like one or the other who would you choose? Duke Johnson or Brad Kaaya...
Richt is going to go with the QB who plays well under pressure and makes good decisions. Almost no college team has the DBs to stop 4 wides because they'll have a lousy match up or 2.
Guys like Walsh, Kosar and Dorsey had at best average arms. They were great college qbs. In college, it's all about reads and throwing to the guy who is going to be open. Probably wide open.
If Perry can make good decisions, handle the pressure and bring an athletic element we haven't had, he could be really special.
Where Are U Now: Churn And Burn

Wow, AQM drafted before Kayaa.
Some guys skipping bowl games. AQM leap frogging those guys by sitting out the season. Goes to NFL with less wear and tear I guess.
By The Numbers: The Highs And Lows of Recruiting
Over the last 15 years there have been many highs and lows when it comes to University of Miami football recruiting. It is hard to argue against the fact that the ebb and flow of talent being brought into Coral Gables on an annual basis has had a direct impact on the product on the field on any ...
Kayaa's weakness is he is horribly inaccurate under pressure and has no sixth sense to make small moves in the pocket to create time. Guys either have that or don't in my view. Another year wouldn't have made any difference.
When the NFL stats boys looked at his accuracy with time (A-) and his accuracy with pressure (D-) his goose was cooked.

While Kayaa obviously could have worked on his weaknesses---awareness on pocket/dealing with pressure/footwork----I think he left because NFL contracts are all about getting your first four years done are really getting paid. That's why you see more and more guys coming out early even if won't be top tier draftee.
