History Lesson

So if anyone wants to learn about the history of our team today, err, I mean the history of the Miami Hurricanes, lol....Every Hurricanes/Seminoles game since the 80's is playing on ECL today. The college ESPN station.

And of course, dont forget to watch the game tonight at 8. Ya never know what Cane we may draft next.

Some key players to watch:

Greg Olsen - The next stud TE.
Brandon Merriwhether and Kenny Phillips, the best tandem of safties in the league, both will be 1st round picks. Kenny is supposed to be a hybrid Sean Taylor and Ed Reed.
Atkins - Stud defensive linemen.
Kyle Wright - The QB with a young group of unproven receivers.

Basically anyone on defense is worth watching, they have one of the top defenses in college football. Their receivers are going to be the question mark.

The canes have an entierly new coaching staff this year, with the exception of Larry Coker. The lack of offensive production caused him to clean house.

I was supposed to go to this game...but waited to long to get my plane ticket...oh well. Atleast Ill be at the Skins game next Monday.

Work is sending me to Maryland for a week. Coincidently I picked the week of Sept 11th a few months ago!

They just finished the 1987 game. Where the seminoles were winning 19-3 at the end of the 3rd qtr, and the Canes came back. With two miniutes left Walsh through a 73 yd touchdown pass to take a 7 pt lead. FSU then drove down the field, scored, and missed the two pt conversion...

Jimmy Johnson was the coach, and Michael Irvin was the MVP... I hate that they both went to Dallas, but one of the biggest reasons he was successful in the NFL was because of his ability to scout talent.

i was kind of in limbo as far as a college team until the redskins started stockpiling ex hurricanes. im a fan of the U now. i believe if you come from the U of miami your probably pretty much ready for the NFL

Theres an article in this months Mens Health called "Train like a Cane"

its about why all the players return to Miami in the offseason instead of training with their teams, and about the workout program they instill there.

I'm watching it now, and looks like it's going to be another low scoring game.

Miami has to have the ugliest uniforms in the history of human civilization. Come on, orange and green?

Do you think this'll be Coker's last year, assuming they go 9-3 or something?

I am sure SkinsNCanes is feeling great right now. Less than 3 mins left, and down by 3.

How about this for a final stat:

Combined rushing yards totals for both teams ... 3 yards.

That's either great run defense, or horrible rushing offense. Bobby Bowden is still only 13-19 against Miami. Overall, the Hurricanes have always had the 'Noles number.

SKINSnCANES is in mourning today.

That's the last time you'll see two top teams play in Week 1. Clearly they both needed to play a game against an inferior opponent first to work out against.
