It's Randy...

According to Yahoo it's to be Randy Shannon at the helm of the ship. Our defense has been among the best in the nation during his tenure. He won a national title as a linebacker. He has been at UM for 20 years. He is the man, and now he's the head coach. Lets see how we fair on recruiting and give him our support for the first season. It's up to Randy to prove it now that he's got it. We had to promote him to keep him, and we could not afford to lose him. He wanted it and he got it. Good luck Randy. Congratulations.

Why not a Stoop-a-dooper X-Mas for the Canes?

We have been a fan of Bob Stoops for a while now. Stoops is good big name target for the canes and some people claim he has ties to South Florida. I am not sure what those ties are but this is all just a rumor for now.


Does anyone remember the last time the Sooners played for the title?
Oklahoma beat FSU in 2000 to win the National Championship. After the game Bobby Bowden made a statement as he left the field, he said it should have been Miami playing Oklahoma. Lucky for the Sooners it was not Miami or the answer to this questions would be 1985.

Be on the lookout for marbles

There are stories coming in from all over the country, people are reporting that they have lost there marbles. The most recent report is out of Piscataway, N.J. - Schiano turns down the Miami coaching job.

I like Chucky.

The problem with USC losing

In the wake of the USC losing to UCLA (as I predicted, USC sucks) the question becomes Florida or Michigan? I do not really want to watch Michigan lose to Ohio State again, and to put Florida in the National Championship game is a little cruel. Florida is likely to get beat 60 to zero. Think of it like this; would you put the professional boxer in the ring with a middle school girl?

Bowl bids

Ivan Maisel and Mark Schlabach over at the ESPN had predicted that Miami would end up in the MPC Computers Bowl. Click here to see their 2006 Bowl Game matchups. There was talk about heading out to Cali for the Emerald Bowl but saw an interview where the rep from the Emerald Bowl said the he would prefer Florida State seeing how they won against The U. I was very happy to see FSU end the season as poorly as we did. I love Bowl games but Miami vs. Nevada. It is probable a good way for Coker to leave, we get to kick the crap out of Nevada and he can showcase his skills (if he remembers to bring them).

I thought bowl games we about matchups. If you want to pack stadium how about Miami vs. Florida State in the Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando or the Gator Bowl in J-ville?

MPC Computers Bowl (WAC vs. ACC) - Nevada vs. Miami

Love that blue turf.
