Don't worry Swampman...
.. like an old hound dog that has been kicked around all these years, you will be back on the porch hoping tomorrow will be better...
...face it, we're all hopelessly addicted to this program
to 1972. As a young kid, I sold newspapers at the Orange Bowl. During the '80's to '91, watched my Canes turn into a juggernaut ... then stumble and fall in the mid '90's... late '90's redeem itself and dominate from 1999 - 2003. The math says we have been stranded in the wilderness for literally 16 years.
If we lose this upcoming Game, I am shutting it down for the remainder of the year. Just trying to safeguard my mental and emotional state. I will not be posting any frustrations at the Coaching staff, OLine, ect...
Privately, I have said this before, never put it in print. Just attempting to hold myself accountable.
Long suffering Cane fan ...
From one old timer to another Swamp City; you ain't going anywhere. You might think you are, but you're not. Zero disrespect intended.
If laughter is good medicine, I'm healed. Thanks mdp.
People always talk about 58-0 as if that was the destruction of the program. It was actually a good thing because we got rid of Golden. If losing to Va Tech by 60 causes DIaz to get fired, I will be cheering for that to happen because it will be for the better of the program.
And before the slurpers attack me. I know even if they break GTs record and win by 350 Diaz isn't going anywhere, so no, I won't be rooting for Va Tech.
UVA TE is still openVirginia OB finale hurt me a lot worse.
You might as well shut it down forever. If 58-0 didn't kill anyone I don't know why anything else would.
I try to stay away from telling others how to fan, but needing a reason not to root for the other team? That's...questionable.People always talk about 58-0 as if that was the destruction of the program. It was actually a good thing because we got rid of Golden.

Exactly, we can't start going up north and bringing hosses that are going to say Iowa, or Wisconsin and show them the beach and weather? Start stealing these kids that are going to Big 10 schools.Oh, please. My first game at the OB was in '55 as I recall. We beat Bama.
Understand the pain and frustration, but I've seen many years when we've gone through similar stuff. We had similar problems in the '60's and '70's because the big powers would put 2-3 times the players we had on scholarship. Endless stream of players on a conveyor belt when somebody got hurt. Equalizing the number of players on scholarship probably helped. Still, I remember going into freshman games where opposing teams had twice as many players. Like that Ga Tech freshman team that beat us in '69 despite the fact we had Chuck Foreman.
Our biggest problem is we are not able to get the players we need. We are losing the top skill talent in South Florida to imperialists and brigands like Smart and Saban. We need to go find us better OLs instead of the carbohydrate stuffed oversized fatties from South Florida.
Most of all, we need the feds to crack down on kids whose families get six figures of unreported income. I don't care if they're from poor families. Somehow we got to neutralize the bags to keep our talent at home.
