tune in now, ill post summary later

EDIT with summary:

-Pete and WVUM will be commentating the spring game.
-IPF plans started through boosters the minute Pro Day finished. more on that below.
-Shalala didnt let donations touch athletic department, that is changing now. Percentage of donations to school will go to athletics.
-"Biggest difference" with new coaches: Much more fast paced, no loafing around
-Manny Diaz "Really into it", walking around with cleats. Guys in team realize there is a difference with this staff. Athletes know they'll finally be used correctly.
-genuine concern on defense side of the table, talent isn't there across the board just yet.
-"to compete against the FSUs,Clemsons" need infusion in the backfield.
-gave shoutout to quarterman and pinckney
-Braxton has potential, never been fully healthy. Look out for him this season, fully ready now.
-Herndon being used as Hback
-Look out for Sam Bruce, AR (who looks ready to play), to have time next season.
-the football nugget from Pete: "Pro day obviously sucked, was embarrassing. Day after Pro Day, big time guys were already formulating a plan. That is 100% the top priority right now, they are working diligently. There is no time table, but we'll hear more from it soon."
-IPF would put us there with bama, FSU facility wise.
-Pete has no answer on why we're playing apalachian state, Ariz doesn't think it's blake james that scheduled that. Noone seems happy.
-Pete hasn't heard much about the UF-UM game, but says that orlando is gator country and not neutral country. However, "Miami travels well"
-Richt really welcoming to past hurricanes, expecting 200+ ex-cane athletes to be at the spring game.
-Pete: "Golden came here, had no idea what was coming with NCAA stuff, was very paranoid", tried to create his own legacy, but "that didn't really fly around here"

Interesting. I wonder will this mean we'll try and get out of our road trips to Arkansas State and Toledo in the coming years. We need to. No reason to play true road games at those places.
 
Who gives a fug about playing App State, I'd rather play them then FAMU. Idc who we play really, just as long as it ends in a W.

What happened? Anyone?

A tsunami.

Some keep screaming about all this talent on defense though.

Yeah this could mean anything and big time guys formulating a plan for what?

The outdoor field workouts had to be conducted in the middle of a driving rainstorm, hurting our prospects' chances of performing at their best in front of all the scouts. I also remember reading that some scouts were really disappointed having to be out there in the rain.

Yeah there is a bunch of it on the dline and linebacker groups it's already known we need an upgrade in the back 4 like Pete said...

Just like when big time guys formulated a plan to fire golden after an embarrassment against Clemson and to pony up and pay for a quality coaching staff. Um higher ups and BOT hate being embarrassed

Welcome to Miami, I guess.
 
Have we run dry on Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's contributions? What is $5M to him these days?

JK, I know he has donated a ton over the years and I think a large sum just last year or so.

****..Olivier Vernon just got PAID! Someone get him on the line!

Allen Bailey just signed a very nice contract last year as well.

There has to be 20 former players that can pony a minimum $100k-$1M

How is Miami on FSU's or Bama's level when they don't have a stadium even if they get an IPF?

My thoughts exactly. We will NEVER be on an elite level facility-wise with or without a stadium. We don't have the resources and never will bc we are a private school and not a public one. It is what it is. We don't need to be elite w facilities to win nattys. History tells us this. We need coaching and receuiting, and supplement it as much as possible within our limitations and we will be just fine.
 
Sorry Pete, but how will ONLY adding an IPF put us on the same level facility wise the Clemson, bama and Fsu? They have other things in their facility that make them stand out. There is more than just that needs to be added.

I disagree. As a North Carolinian with friends and family who went to App, I'm ecstatic lol.

-Richt really welcoming to past hurricanes, expecting 200+ ex-cane athletes to be at the spring game.

This is fantastic. Should be one **** of a recruiting event with all those former players there.

Thinking he kept it vanilla, every cane fan who knows the basic concepts of football know the entire secondary needs a revamp and it needs it pronto. We could use another LB class like the last one to create reasonable depth because 6 playable linebackers isn't enough, you want about 8
