Something to Celebrate

[My2Sense]

I get the hatred, pain, and anger. I too am sick of the losing, excuses, and mediocrity. I've been a Canes fan since I was 10 in 1982. The thought of Flutie's Hail Mary still haunts me. So I write this from a place of love for the program we all care for and want to see back competing for National Championships.

Today, on this site, all I see is whining, complaining, and vitriol. Like I said, I get it. But let's not forget that 20 kids - 20 teenagers are Canes now. Most of these kids could have chosen other schools - many of them more successful than The U in recent history. But they chose The U. For the next few years, these kids will give their blood, sweat, and tears for a scholarship and our game day amusement. All the while, we'll protest by not showing up to their games, flying banners over their heads, and ranting on Twitter. Doesn't seem right to me.

For a moment - just a moment - can we step back from the Al Golden hatred and show these new Canes some love? Can we CELEBRATE 20 new Canes? They chose to come here in spite of all the crap and will be Canes forever regardless of the coach. None of it is their fault.

Don't know whose with me. Neg me if you like. But for my money, I'm done with the bashing and am supporting the kids who are with us through thick and thin.

Go Canes.

Coach D is this you again?

Lol

 

[kostacane]

Agree wholeheartedly. While none of us are happy with the results on the field and disappointed with some who got away, these kids who committed today did not run from adversity and pledged their allegiance to The U. True Canes fans should celebrate these young men and save any anger at the coaches or administration for another day. Welcome to the U!

So just to get this straight...you want to celebrate that those poor loyal 20 kids are going to have to endure a coaching change during their limited time here?

Sorry homeboy, but there's nothing to celebrate today. Last year's team had talent and went 6-7....until we don't fix the real problem you could recruit a top 5 class every year with that fat ******* and we'd still be running in place.

I'm with you...

 

[westcoastcanes]

This is something I can agree with. I am really glad these kids accepted the offer, regardless of the circumstances, to go out and do work for this school. To those kids and their families, thank you very much.

Yay!

One thing, college players today are not being prepared for NFL; that is why top recruits were so absent from the super bowl. THE U once change all that. Our players came out as third year pros and became the default picks for NFL. That was because we ran pro offense and better than pro defense with work ethic beyond compare. Today colleges are back to running gimmick offenses and soft defenses --- things Miami once killed. Give these 20 kids Butch as their coach and it would be a gift beyond compare. That said, welcome to THE U young men. We all love our players so do not mistake our hatred of administration and staff as applying to you.

I think you missed my point Jedi Master ( by the way - that's a cute handle for you. I also played with Luke Skywalker action figures 30 years ago). I'm not celebrating failure or losing. I'm celebrating the fact that 20 kids have decided - despite all the negativity - to be a part of The U. These are 20 kids who want to win HERE. Let's honor them.

Happy happy happy!!!

[Oh Snap]

Y'all need to break character for once. There is nothing wrong w lauding these incoming freshmen for making the biggest decisions of their lives.

 

[Jax Cane]

I think we got some pretty good players today.

Al Golden can still suck a phat one.

Butch will have some talent when he gets here. He will corch these guys up

 

[Ukcanes1]

Solid post OP. Glad to have these young dudes join the U!

 

[Rellyrell]

This is not a knock on the 20 kids, but let's be honest here, Golden had an epic fail for this class. Let me remind you that all of the "loyal" Golden supporters said "don't worry about the misses in 2014 at DB and WR and RB...2015 is loaded here in SoFLA" last year. What happened in 2015? We struck out on 96% of the top talent within a 30 mile radius from our school. Did you see what USC did with the schools that's within a 30 mile radius of them? They swept; this coming from a new coach w/ one year of experience there. I'm sorry, it's not whinning, it's being tired of the misses from home. Golden uses every excuse for his failings, and I'm sorry, I will love these new Canes, but this class is an indictment of a serious problem here...lock down home or gtfoh.

I'm glad those guys are canes now let's work!
