    Stadium question

    How come there isn't a canopy at the baseball stadium? I went out to Mark Light Saturday. It was brutally hot. That was the lone game I went to this year. Last year, I went to one of the playoff games. It was brutally hot as well. And I'm pretty **** conditioned to the heat. Is there a reason...

    Maudes . . . a humble suggestion

    I might be on my own here, but I'd love a separate board or like a subforum for transfer portal separate from high school recruiting.

    I spoke with a current player.

    Nothing earth-shaking, but this place is pretty slow now anyways. This player is an upperclassmen and was on Manny's teams too. Mature kid. In no particular order: He said that the guys that left had to leave. We've heard that a lot. Still hard for me to digest that 1/5 of the roster had to...

    Suplex tackling?

    I am taking a momentary break from moping to ask a football question. I guess that suplex tackles are drawing 15 yard flags now? Is that the rule? Couch got one yesterday and I think we had another one this season. Did the analysts discuss why that was called? (I was at the game.)

    Two weeks to prepare

    I hate repetitive threads, but bear with me. I'm posting through the grief. Gotta get this off my chest. TVD was injured two weeks ago. Anyone with a brain knows that a QB with an injury to his throwing shoulder is a big problem. You can be optimistic, but you got to plan for the likelihood...

    Do we have a shot against FSU?

    I hate to type that. But it looks pretty grim. Even if our D plays great, FSU can move the ball and score. Not likely to hold FSU to under 20. Based on what we saw Saturday, how do we get to 20 without cheap scores? Is it as grim as I think it is? Give me some hope. I am dreading Saturday.

    Who was #37?

    I was at the game. Can someone tell me who was the lineman with the number 37 jersey that appeared to be coming in when we went with an unbalanced line. I presume that was Cooper. Was it him or was it someone else? Thanks.

    Tidbits from a Cane coach

    I don't know how thread-worthy this is, but it's the offseason. Other than conversations about John Ruiz's net worth--who knew we had so many accountants and financial experts on here?!--and a terrible thread that turned predictably political (good job, guys!), things are pretty slow. I had an...

    Tickets for today

    How do I purchase tickets for the Canes today? All I can find is tickets for “sessions” 3-7 today but I have no idea which session we play in. If anyone has a link, I’d appreciate it.

    Will Lashlee call plays in bowl game?

    Anyone know whether he will serve as OC for the bowl game? If not, who would do it? I know Likens was previously a playcaller before but there are rumors he's headed to SMU too.

    OL pass protection

    Let's take a break from regularly scheduled programming of Mario, Blake, Manny, Blake, Mario, Manny and more Manny . . . Is it me, or has the pass protection vastly improved as the season has progressed? I know the OL gets killed for the lack of a ground game, but IMO, they are doing a good...

    Kickoff

    Every thread is moping and Manny and Blake. Let me change the discussion a bit. Is it me, or has the kickoff in CFB (and NFL) become awful? Kickers are so good nowadays that touchbacks have become a formality like an extra point. The kickoff return was a fun part of the game that has been...

    Tailgating 2021?

    I've seen reports that Miami expects full or near capacity once the season rolls around. Has anything been said about tailgating and whether it will be permitted? (If so, I've missed it.) I'm guessing, but I presume the primary argument against it is that it could still enforce a mask policy...

    Devin Hester in 2020

    There are so few kickoff returns now (both in college and NFL). I'm getting to the point that KOR turns into snack or bathroom break time. Between placement of the ball at the 35 and kickers nowadays routinely kicking balls out of the end zone, if Devin played now, do you all think he would have...

    Alonzo isn't the savior we're making him out to be

    First, yes, tl:dr. I need to vent. Sorry. This is a cluster* on so many levels. First, everyone thinks hiring Alonzo is a no-brainer. It’s not. Why? Because we have no idea precisely what type of role Alonzo envisions. Think about it. If—and again if because I have no idea—Alonzo wants a role...

    Scrimmage thoughts

    For those that weren't able to go, here are my random thoughts: 1. Saw a lot of big sets from Enos. There were a lot of 2 TE sets and plenty of Realus George. A lot of plays were run under center. 2. It is a two-man race between Kosi and Jarren. Tate is clearly well behind both. I'll discuss...

    Gabe Terry

    Saw him on crutches and in a boot this morning. /Sorry if this is well-known news, I wasn't aware of it. //It's going to be a long offseason.

    FYI ... Duke ...

    is in a boot. (Glad to make your morning.) Ben Jones is also banged up and was on crutches (for the 2 people that care about this). Also, Tano and I watch the live games together and I think he's remarked at every game that "we have a ******* linebacker [Shayon Green] playing d end." I...

    Scrimmage thoughts

    (I posted this over on WEZ, but DMoney asked me to copy it here as well.) So, this is the time of the year when I start to get optimistic. We start getting Greentree practice reports about so and so tearing it up. And we got all these highly touted freshmen coming in … Well, had I...

    Class rankings

    Folks, can someone tell me what class rankings UM received from Scout, Rivals, Espn, and any other recruiting services? Thanks.
