    Dylan Joyce - Props to him as well

    Something I haven’t seen discussed is Dylan Joyce, our new Aussie punter. True Freshman, new to American football, first big game… the very first time he touched the ball, it was a jailbreak punt block and they got home. He must have felt like garbage to let the team down in this way, going...

    Brock Berlin was the best Gator quarterback ever

    Also UF sucks.

    It’s baffling to me how ignorant modern day sports are as to prioritization/ marketing/ communication

    “Win the crowd” - Proximo to Maximus, Gladiator. One of the best quotes in movie history, and one of the deepest. In any sport, there is only one “winner” at the end of each season or tournament. Everyone else is a loser. What that means is that the odds are very much against you, even if you...

    “Check with me” Offense - negative for younger QBs, leads to worse output

    Full disclosure: never played offense in FB, so take this with a grain of salt. I did play FS, so somewhat relevant, I hope… From a mathematical perspective, a “check with me” offense leads to overloading the QB with decisions, reduces their pre-snap orientation time, and leads to hasty...

    I would rather go 0-11 with 20 scholarship players…

    Real talk. Mario: I would rather, as a Cane fan, go 0-11 with 20 scholarship players who give a **** and leave it ALL out on the field, than 85 who don’t. This is a rebuild, and that means wins today aren’t what’s important (but don’t fücking lose to MTSU…). If there is a player that is...

    Football is all about numbers. How can Mario not understand this?

    I’ll leave the discussion to the football and execution of plays to others, but I wanted to address something basic: statistical probability, and reversion to mean. Before you roll your eyes, let me explain. If you have any experiment (rolling dice, flipping coins, etc), but limit the amount of...

    “Kids”. Stop it, call them what they are, treat them like that, and expect better.

    Over and over I see individuals, coaches, even our current head coach refer to the football players as “kids”. They aren’t “kids”, and I say this as a father. Words mean things, you expect less from a child than an adult, and in turn they act accordingly. An 18-21 year old is a man or woman...

    OT - NFL head coaching roles and NCAA HC’s

    One thing I’ve been noticing, and wanted to discuss is that I don’t think NFL HC positions are as enticing for NCAA HCs as they used to be (I.e., we lost Butch to the NFL, etc). Salaries are still roughly double what they are in the NCAA, yes, but turnover is insanely high, sometimes as high as...

    Heresy - Joe Zagacki

    I know Joe has been here for all 5 rings etc etc (so was Kehoe...), but dammit if his voice isn’t like nails on chalkboard. I hope, for our next announcer, we get someone that uniquely represents Miami, that makes us stand out even on radio broadcasts. Was watching the UM/ND 17 highlights and...

    Robert Knowles is a true Cane

    Edit: some of you apparently don’t know how to read long posts, so I’ll write a brief summary up here: it’s totally fine to call out and bash RK for playing like *** on the field. It is NOT OK to celebrate when he (or any other Canes player) gets hurt. That is all. I’ve been reading a lot of...

    ESPN Power Ranking blurb on the game...

    Wins are the most important thing in the CFB season, followed closely by how you win. It matters in the polls, to recruits, to the media, and can have effects on a program’s perception for long after the game. Example, from ESPN: ESPN Week 4 Power Rankings

    What sort of SEC bullsh!t is this anyway?

    Last week, in the USA Today/Coaches poll, Auburn was ranked 7th and LSU 12th. After playing each other, LSU won and is now 6th, and Auburn only dropped to 11th... so in effect, they played each other, swapped spots, and MOVED UP. Of course, that win by LSU makes Miami’s only loss look better...

    Feagles did well today

    Feagles did quite well, especially considering that Toledo nearly blocked a couple. Edit: for the downvotes, you have to credit a man when he performs if you **** on him when he doesn’t. He had a 41.6 average, one inside the 20 (should have been 2), even though our long snapper was apparently...

    Can we talk about stubborn coaches and team philosophy?

    No one in college football has earned the right to be unflinchingly stubborn except for Nick Saban, and even he has to adapt and improve. To have a coach(es) like Mark Richt (and Manny, Hartley, et al), who stubbornly refuses to acknowledge there is even a need to improve is baffling. I...

    Nesta Silvera is a beast.

    A total beast. That is all. We have 3 years with him, let's ride!!! EDIT: Link to punt block below

    Demographics and football

    Wanted to hear some opinions on this. I’m from Miami, born & raised, and I’ve seen it go from 20% Hispanic/20% African American 60% White to now 85% Hispanic, 5% White and 10% African American. Immigration, higher costs of living, cultural friction, gentrification and development are pushing...

    Where's the Braxton Berrios love??? Come on in!

    Braxton Berrios put the Canes on his back and **** near singlehandedly won this game for us. Get in here and show this man some RESPECT!

    Something tells me we are getting Herman

    I don't have any "sources" and refuse to pretend that I do. However... Something is telling me we are getting Herman. What do you guys/gals think? Positives/Negatives?
