So you are saying just some minor tweaks?
Sounds simple enough.

Note: This blog was written for Canespace by blogger Alpine... You all know "Alpine" as the incorrigible and oft-irritating optimist on the blog. That's just who I am and I don't like following a team and moping the whole time. But I'm not gonna try to sell you a Brooklyn Bridge full of unicorns...
1. Good job with my article, 86!
2. The unicorn-photo find alone should, in a fair world, get you a free ticket to disneyland with the missus + a free pass to cut into the front of every line.

1. My pleasure! Some very minor editing and formatting work but it was good from the start. Plenty of good content to work with. The photos were easy finds. Who got next? UMike? Old Skool?
2. Funny thing you even mentioned "Unicorns" in your article. In real estate we have a saying about buyers that are unicorns. In real estate we define unicorns as:
Perfect credit, plenty of reserve funds for down payment and closing costs, smart, decisive and easy to work with, and very organized and responsive with financial documents to qualify for the mortgage.
They are considered very rare but they do actually exist!

1. Recruiting will help. This class, although still missing a few IT guys, can't be relied upon next year to cause us to have a big flip in wins and Losses.
2. If Manny rolls the dice and keeps this current staff together, then he will be out before the season ends next year.

1. One recruiting class can make an impact but it will not instantly change the culture or produce wins. And no matter how big or how good the class is there will be the standard 60/40 rule of attrition and who makes it to start, makes big plays big and stays four years and graduates.
2. Agree 100 %.
I have to say that I find it very interesting that you seem to have changed recently and now come across as the "voice of reason" and remain so hopeful and postitve when you were among the most negative on the program and other coaches for years. Curious, what has changed for you?

Did Miami just lose to FIU?

I am going to re-post some good older articles from back in the day just for kicks. Still looking for the Kehoe blog but I can across this one:

I will find the old blog and re-post it.
Hassan occasionally checks in when not in some God-forsaken place like Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria or Turkey. Hopefully, he will weigh in soon.

- 2nd photo is soup, kehoe and ... a blogger?
Posted by: alpine | November 17, 2019 at 01:38 AM
The other blogger was Canespace insider Hassan. He is an intelligence officer in real life and a UM mole in his part-time sports blogger life.
That chat with Kehoe was EPIC! It was at the FL State High School Playoff games in Orlando where he was scouting OL for UM after getting re-hired by Golden.
We saw him sitting in the stands and wandered over to chat him up. We had him to oursleves for over an hour (with a few interruptions from adoring fans saying hi) to talk all things Canes. He answered our questions and even asked us some. It was classic and I will never forget it.
He was so absolutely convinced that Al Golden was the second coming of Jimmy Johnson that he had us completely sure that he was going to do BIG things at Miami. He had us staring directly into the light for an hour.
Then D'No happened and Golden's blind loyalty to his friend was greater than his loyalty to UM or his own survival as a head coach. If only...oh never mind.

Thanks for letting me vent my love and frustrations for DA Canes!

Don't Look Into The Light
The last time this happened we all fell for it. The last time we all assumed that it would work and that it would last. The last time the coach's name was Randy Shannon, Al Golden or Mark Richt. After Miami's huge win over Louisville (SolarCane was right) we had to listen to Faith and Hope lou...
Keep doing what you do.

Thank you. Your friendship means more to me than you know. I have few and they are far between, but the best seem to last. I appreciate that.

Roach Coach
For just a minute I ask you to forget about former University of Miami head coaches Butch Davis, Larry Coker, Randy Shannon, Al Golden and Mark Richt. Sure, we know that you are all excited that new head coach Manny Diaz may be starting to turn things at Miami around but he is just getting start...
God bless Coach Mark Richt. He is a righteous man.
He has been forgiven.

Ain't That A Kick In The Pants
You had one job: Kick the ball through the uprights. All we asked was for you to make an easy field goal or a simple extra point. And Bubba blew it. UM Kicker Bubba Baxa had one job. The job was handed to him on a silver platter. Bubba took the platter, turned it upside down and then proceeded...

I had a great call with Sarasota...what a American Hero, individual and Canes fan! Felt like we have known each other since Howards day!
I am planning now with Soup a trip to a 2019 game...it would be my honor to meet as many of you as possible..We are Family...I love each of you in a special way...you are the BEST!
Posted by: VA Cane | January 08, 2019 at 10:07 PM
What an awesome, random call VA Cane. Sometimes we "pick each others scabs" on here cause we all want UM to win so bad, but when you put a face or a real voice instead of a keyboard into the mix then all that crap just melts away.
We all know that VA Cane is a coach, but his family's "football story" is unreal. VA Tech, William and Mary, LA Rams, DA Raiders, high school, middle school...it's all in there!
