I agree Herb. Can’t see us in Big10. SEC is obvious fit. Although Yesterday I’d have said I can’t see ucla or usc in Big10 either. Da sports world is getting weird…

Big10 just claimed USC & UCLA. With TX & OU headed to SEC, it’s all but written in stone… 2 power conferences then everyone else. Seems obvious now that Riley knew what was what leaving OU for USC. And before we get into a bunch of football debates in terms of which program “deserves” to be where… It ain’t about the football. It’s about the TV markets and the $$. Big10 now owns TV from NY/NJ thru Philly to Chicago plus LA. Mason-Dixon Line north of course. SEC basically has El Paso to the Atlantic, south of that Line. Where will UM, FSU, and Clemson land? If I am Clemson, I’m actually fairly nervous. Ton of success the last decade, not much history previous (yes 1 NC back in like ‘82), and no TV market. I think they’ll end up okay because they’ve got current clout. FSU - will be fine. UM… ??? My opinion is we’ll be good. Play in major TV market, even if fans are fickle. always draw good ratings. Past success is still relevant (fading fast perhaps but still everyone knows UM). New coach and infusion of $$ gets the hype machine in gear. Conspiracy types may even believe that insiders had an inkling of the LA schools impending movement making it imperative that the Canes get Mario and get their butts in gear in order to make the best case to SEC or Big10 in near future….

Happy Dad’s Day!

Top 6 = not bad company to be in! “In each of his final six games, Van Dyke threw for 300 yards and three touchdowns. The only other player to do that vs. six straight Power 5 foes in the playoff era was Joe Burrow in 2019. Solid company.” Perhaps less than popular opinion… replacing Lashlee is major key to offensive success this season. Whatever else he didn’t do well, he obviously coached up & found way to coax success out of TVD

The GREAT Frank Gore that is

https://apple.news/AWQFTk0C7QhSZVJItSyL-EA Nice little article about Frank Gore…

What I would give for a Russell Maryland, Warren Sapp, Jerome Brown or Cortez Kennedy right about now. Posted by: 58 Straight | April 21, 2022 at 08:49 PM What every HC in The League says every season

Nice work Tony. Thank U. Canes moving in right direction it seems. Hard to be positive after so many false starts these past TWO DECADES. MC is Legit though.

Baseball weird game. Fail 3 of 10 times and become an all star. A CWS appearance would be huge for the program.

Great blog article 86! From picked to finish 12th in conference to the Elite 8… quite a ride! Quite an accomplishment! KU is a 1 for a reason. Just had too much size for us in the 2nd half and we went cold shooting - lot of decent looking looks that rimmed out. Sometimes U need some luck, especially to upset a 1 seed in March. Ours ran out today. VA - saw lot of those tweets also. Great dude. Big loss for rock n roll

Thanks CGNC. Cool performance. The shots of the crowd are too funny though! What a night for the CANES Hoopsters!

VA - He was very genuine modest fun living person from what I’ve read and seen in interview videos. CANES!! Elite 8… first ever! Congrats Coach L & Team!! Amazing

In a “down” year for the ACC, 2 of Elite 8 come from the conference with our CANES working on a lead in the final 6 minutes for the last remaining spot. Not too shabby In more depressing news… from the rock n roll world RIP Taylor Hawkins. Was only 50. Amazing drummer/musician

CONFIRMED: Miami hires Broyles Award winner Gattis from Michigan to be new offensive coordinator miamiherald.com/sports/college… @CanesFootball @UMichFootball @ACCFootball U all knew it before I did but score one for Mario!

It ain’t WARM at all in Big D today 86! LOL But I’ve got chili on the stove so why complain?!? Impressed with Mario on the ‘cruiting trail so far. We need a lot more of it, but he did a good job salvaging the shit-show he inherited. A couple of years of top 15 classes + decent coaching prep and in-game decision making should be enough to vault us into the national mix. It’ll take more than that to truly challenge Bama or GA. But like Rome, those programs (or Clemson or A&M etc…) weren’t built overnight. The jump from top 15 classes to top 5, year after year, is the hardest cliff to climb. But I’m done being greedy, I’d just like to see really good CANES football again without all the stupidity and failure we’ve had to endure the past 15 yrs.

Truly enjoyed the last 2 articles 86. Nice work!

Hey! DTC here too! Posted by: DallasTX Cane | January 06, 2022 at 10:33 PM LOLof course, without question! Posted by: CGNC | January 09, 2022 at 11:12 AM You’ll always be #1 Blogger CGNC!

Wow. Ohio Cane, U Mike and Alex D sightings. Hi to all of you! Posted by: CGNC | January 06, 2022 at 01:41 PM Hey! DTC here too! Feels absolutely awesome to see the positivity around here! Hey, it’s hard to win NC’s (unless you’re Bama). Even mighty Clemson found the lowly ACC too much to conquer without an all-world QB. But the CANES finally have a legit leader. Once the 5’s (stars) take us seriously and start coming, we’ll see 4’s following and 3’s begging. I’m as demanding as anyone but do understand “baby steps”. After the last 15 years, I’ll be beyond happy to be playing meaningful games in Nov and a real bowl game! We’ve been in 5-7 to 7-5 purgatory for what feels like eternity

Hey CGNC! Happy New Year! Happy Holidays. Hope U are doing great! Happy New Year to all Canes!

Andre Johnson & Devin Hester make HOF finalist. Congrats & Go CANES!

Merry Christmas Canespacers! Wish everyone well! 86 - Great article. Love Duke. Happy anniversary.

I’ve said for years… ACC needs both Miami & FSU back to routine top 15-20 and in NC race every other year. PLUS a Clemson doing the same AND a rotation of the Pitts, UVAs, UNCs etc being top 20 to be a legit option vs SEC. It is about the $$ but it’s also about winning and exposure - which turns into $$

Posted by: CGNC | December 08, 2021 at 07:31 PM CGNC - We were all youngsters full of enthusiasm and so naive. I can hear us now… we back! We da U! Now we’re full of cynicism and so jaded. For good reason. It’s felt like 40 years wandering in the desert. BUT… is that the promised land ahead or just another mirage?!?

Posted by: CGNC | December 07, 2021 at 06:15 PM Ha ha definitely! All we really need is a competent HC and some decent recruiting. Although I’ll also take just some average clock & TO management vs the steady diet of shake your head WTF was he thinking we’ve been fed the past decade

If Van Dyke had a year's experience going into 2021, we probably lose only 2 games this year. Posted by: TonyCane | December 07, 2021 at 01:41 PM As usual, Tony on point. U r one of the folks whose posts I never skip. Only counter is that if D’Eriq hadn’t torn an ACL, we also prob lose only 2. I don’t see any 1 player (anywhere from any era) that gets this years team a W vs Bama or Mich St.
