This game between Miami and ND is SO big down here. EVERYONE ever associated with The U will be watching. IF the "Baby Canes" can pull this off...this will be a good sign that Al Golden is slowly bringing this team back to the national spotlight. It will be tough, with 17 freshman starting or playing significant minutes on offense and defense. Like I said last week, they WILL make mistakes and for how many big plays they make, they wil give up big plays as well.
When Miami was at it's highest point...NOBODY out recruited them in the most fertile football state in the country. Alonzo Highsmith, former Cane and current exec with the Packers stated this morning that recruits and coaches are constantly asking him and others as to how is Miami doing and what's going on as far as the football program. Love them or hate them, things are alot more fun when they are relevent.
I am super excited about this game...WOW!
The Insider said:Maybe they will have more than 500 people at the stadium this weekend. oh wait its in Chicago so probably ;P
Oops! Maybe Texas didn't beat OSU with a last minute touchdown.
Big-12 officials call Mike Gundy to apologize for blown call.

Fans are still pessimistic about the team. And they do not have the following of the big state schools like UF & FSU. Those schools have 5 times the student as Miami.
The Insider said:Well winning helps. Miami in the 80s and even 90s used to sell out all the time. Fans get tired of supporting a loser for so many years. Specially like in Miamis case when it does not have the student base, and alumni base to sustain itself in the down years like say Michigan does (which sells out even though they ahve sucked for many years) or better example Penn state. We all know their problems but that stadium is still pretty darn full.
Crazy season to predict anything this year. Look to see some teams possibly fall this week, including my Tigers (hope I'm wrong).Indiana beating Michigan state at the half!
The Insider said:Gators staying Toe to Toe with the Tigers. Our offenses biggest challenge yet and we are having trouble moving the ball that LSU rush defense is fast. Hopefully we get make some adjustments at the half and spread the field open more.
Hokies falling apart against the Tarheels.
