Here are the early returns from the Canespace 2010 Legends of The Fall (LOF) voting. Keep voting, the polls are open until April 15! So far a total of 65 votes have been counted and voters have been true to the competition with picks ranging all across the spectrum of UM players on both offen...
Jacory need to learn to either, get rid of the ball, throw it away or tuck it and run. He holds on to the ball too long and put a lot of pressure on the OL to maintain their block.

Memo to the Canes, Ohio State is going to throw it to the Tight Ends next year if they look at this tape from tonight's game

The reason why Cooper hurt is knee is because that field is crap. This is the result of playing 5 or 6 high school football championship games in that stadium that past few weeks. That's insane, just my take.

Unlike last year, Jacory is a zero threat to run the ball, therefore is no need for opponents to defend any QB draw or possible bootleg.

Are We Out Of Miracle Whip?
Even before the 2009 season started, newly hired Hurricane offensive coordinator Mark Whipple was crowned the "King of Offense" and was promptly given the keys to the City of Coral Gables and the entire 305. Canes fans everywhere were desperate for anything that even closely resembled an offe...

The Short List: Week 11
They remember what you do in November a famous SEC coach once said and as November ensues only 11 worthy teams remain in the running for the two Shortlist to the San Fernando Valley invitations to be handed out and they rank in worthiness as follows: Florida, Texas, Alabama, Iowa, TCU, Cincinna...
What’s up Legion, haven’t posted in a while. It was a tough loss last night, the Offense got a little too conservative after the Randy Phillips pick and after the 20 yard run by Graig Cooper in overtime. The Defense was simply not aggressive enough. On another note, here is where I believe the departure of those two backup QB’s hurt Jacory. Jacory is not a threat to pull the ball down and run like he did few times last year for fear of getting injured. Maybe it’s me, but has he had a rush for more than 5 yards this year scrabbling out of the pocket? Just my thought, have a great Sunday.

BUILD THE CANES A STADIUM, most of these players you named (Hill, Leggett, Moore, T Moss, Freeman, Wright, Charlie Jones, Sam Shields, J. James, DVD, Chavez Grant, ect.) had one similarity. They had excellent freshmen or sophmore seasons but never truly developed after that.

Top 60 Countdown: No. 27, DB Ryan Hill
As we move ahead in our countdown of the Top 60 players at UM, we take a look t No. 27: Defensive back Ryan Hill. The senior has played on both sides of the ball in his career after coming to UM in 2006 with a lot of hype. But has he really ever found a home on the field for his talents? > Wh...
86 you still do have my Legends of the Fall on the list. You have the other Alex and not the real Alex. Lol.

Taking The Sting Out Of The Yellow Jackets
During the extremely difficult first four games on the Hurricanes 2009 season schedule, none of them may present a more intriguing matchup than the Canes second game against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Last year under then first year coach Paul Johnson, Tech had an excellent season fini...
Calvin is right; LSU did put on a clinic on how to stop GT’s triple option. Take a (big lead) on offense, line up a yard off the ball to prevent those (chop blocks), (penetrate) into the backfield to (cause disruption), (tackle well) and tackle well when available (in space), most of all (cause turnovers). This is a rhythm offense and if their (not in rhythm) then they (can’t execute). Last, if GT is passing or (throwing the ball) then you know you’re dominating the game.
( ) – Things the U failed to do last year in order to be GT.

I believe Todd Chandler is a lock. If Tennessee coaching staff wants to spend valuable resources to help him develop his game so he can play better this fall and also be better prepared to be a Cane when he sign; then, I applaud him for taking advantage of the opportunity. He should also consider taking a trip to USC and utilizing those possible coaching resources there too. It may be a risk, but if his is truly committed to the Canes. Then it can only help us and not hurt us. Just my take.
