Sorry, I love how the Canes homefield is now "Dolphins Stadium".

I would say it is but that is strictly my opinion. If stealing is against the law and a bunch of people are doing it, it does not make it right. Totally different circumstances than football but the same logic could apply.

I seriously crack up at the L$u or U$C stuff...whenever another program is on top people must do that...

I'm sure the great Hurricanes were the exception when they were great though huh, they weren't like the big bad LSU's and USC's.

Could not agree more. The only person that seemed to stay loyal was his Mom that was in tears. And from all accounts not tears of joy.

Yeah...I saw that.....its too bad....at least Mrs. Patchan is still a real Cane.

Man the kid can go where he wants, that's almost as bad as when Vidal Hazeltons dad tried to make him go to Penn State.

When the Canes were great their were issues. The Pell Grant scandal almost killed the team. The Canes have never been associated with the paying of players since then though and we have won a couple of NCs since then.

No one is saying he can not nor was he obligated to go to UM in any way. My issue is him running his mouth like a big man and then tucking tail when the shit hit the fan and running to UF.

I don't like typing Dolphin Stadium but what can you do, its a better revenue stream and better for recruiting....I wish they had renovated the Orange Bowl earlier though.....it hurt very much seeing us make the formal announcement that we would be leaving.

There's a reason no school has repeated as SEC Champion since Tennessee in 97-98 and Florida from 93-96

Let him go to Florida with his girlfriend......he's a frontrunner. He talked about how much he loved the U so much, his whole family are Canes and then criticized the effort...why don't you be part of the solution? He already admitted that this Miami incoming class is a historic one, yet he wants instant gratification. Fine....let him go to Hogtown, I don't really care.

He'll end up just like Jonathon Colon and Dee Webb.

And BTW this line of argumentation is EXTREMELY HYPOCRITICAL COMING FROM YOU. Where were you when Whitney Lewis was dying to go to Florida State to be with his buddy Lorenzo Booker but his Mom blocked him and forced him to sign with USC.....he never wanted to be there and it showed, you ruined him and he transferred to some Div-1aa school. So dont turn around and tell me "let him go where he wants to go".

Mecca · 01-05-2008, 03:38 PM

Whitney should have gone to FSU like he wanted, I won't even argue that. He shouldn't have come to SC he never panned out mostly because he didn't want to be there is my view.

I think it works that way all the time, he should have gone where he wanted, I'll always say that no matter what way it goes. If you make a guy go where he doesn't want to be it doesn't work...Whitney wasn't good for us at all.

LSU fans and the like flipped out when Joe McKnight didn't go there, so then obviously USC cheated. It never fails a team doesn't get a player because the other school "cheated".

you mean U$C?

Mecca · 01-05-2008, 04:03 PM

And there it is.....USC gets recruits because they are good and have a coach that they believe can put them in the NFL..

Any school that has that will get recruits.

Sam Hall · 01-05-2008, 04:59 PM

As one of the resident Husker fans, I think we should stop kissing these kid's asses and wait to see if they can handle college football. Not only that, recruiting is important, but coaching is more important.
