    OT Update on my Mom's cancer battle.

    This morning my mom underwent surgery to remove a large cancerous mass from her colon. I am so incredibly thrilled to tell everyone that the operation was a 100% success! The surgeon came out to speak with us and he said that the tumor was much bigger than the CT Scan had indicated. He said it...

    2024 LB Depth and playing time

    With Spring practice beginning in March there will be a lot of competition on Greentree. At LB we return starters Kiko Mauigoa and Wes Bissainthe at Mike and Will respectively. However there is significant playing time to be won. The departure of Cory Flagg and KJ Cloyd creates a huge...

    OT: Please pray for my mother

    She went in for a colonoscopy and they found a cancerous tumor in her colon. It is well differentiated colorectal adenocarcinoma. We are waiting on the results of tests to determine if it has spread. In the event that it has not spread, the doctors have said that they would then remove the mass...

    The Problem Mario/We are Facing Going Forward(Long)

    Mario has done an excellent job in acquiring talent, flipping the roster and remaking it with an emphasis on the trenches while beginning to stack elite skill talent as well. While his task here is hardly finished, he has been able to recruit at an elite level despite mediocre results in the...

    What do you want to see from the team by the end of the season?

    Over the course of the season what would you like to see from this squad in terms of development. This can apply to individual players and position groups or it can be broader like offense, defense or special teams. 1. I want to see our TEs become more involved in the offense. We have a...

    The 2023 Squad will be the most enjoyable........

    that we have had in many years. I genuinely cannot wait for the season to begin. I think that this team is going to be a real pleasure to watch for various reasons. For one, we have schemes that fit our personnel on both sides of the ball. Then it truly seems as if the systematic, cultural and...

    2nd/3rd team defense

    I loved seeing so many young kids in at the end of the game and was pleasantly surprised by how good some of them looked out there today. Is it just me or did Jaden Harris just pop off the screen? That kid showed potential today. He's long, quick and athletic with long arms plus he played...

    What ever happened to Brian Balom?

    With the poor safety play this year, one would think that Balom would at least get some snaps but nada, zip, zero. Kid just flat out fell off the face of the earth. Is he injured?

    Thoughts on the ATM game(Long)

    This game was a brow beater type game and we took a more talented team to the wire and actually outplayed them in almost every way save for 1. We made too many mistakes and mental errors. It wasn't a ton of them but on the road against a team like ATM you can't afford many at all. The Stevenson...

    Isaiah Horton(scout team #1) could be a good one.

    He popped in the WR practice video.

    Why I love this staff

    Let me give an example of why I love this staff so much. Just recently @bradtejeda told us to keep a close eye on the recruitment of Hicks, Wilson and M'Pemba. Naturally, I would assume that the staff is making significant progress in the recruitment of those three young men. Not a total shock...

    Let's put together a list of qualified WR and DB coaches

    Let's put the names of good position coach candidates for WR Coach and DB Coach. Name, current employer, background and why they would be a good fit. Since position coach candidates are not my bag baby, I'm going to have to defer to some CIS All Stars like the following... @Liberty City El...

    Players likely to make a big leap or get a new start in 2022(Defense)

    The Miami defense in 2021 wasn't exactly up to par. To put it bluntly the defense was an unmitigated disaster, an abortion, a **** show and quite frankly an utter embarrassment to the program and it's proud tradition on defense. It was a gigantic relief to us the fans when head coach/defensive...

    Ran into Brett Romberg today

    At a restaurant in Orlando. I looked over at this guy sitting with his wife and kids and he had this UM Tee on and a ball cap with UM colors. So I go up to ask him about his hat and he says" it's not a Miami hat but it matches my t-shirt " Very friendly and down to earth. So as soon as he...
