March 22, 201610 yr New coaching staff and new attitude. I plan on watching the Canes practice August the 9th. They have a scrimmaged scheduled that day.
March 22, 201610 yr Used to really not like the Canes but always liked Georgia's former coach so I guess I will now cheer for the Canes.
March 22, 201610 yr I'm also interested on what changes have been made or will be made for the Hurricane program. They could become that powerhouse program again.

March 22, 201610 yr I always found the U to be fascinating. On one hand, upper level ivy league want to be school, on the other, Warren Sapp, Mike Irvin, etc.

March 22, 201610 yr Just found it ironic that most of the people cheering for the U in the glory days would have been tazed if they ever tried to walk through that campus. If they didn't play their games in the Orange Bowl those stuffed shirts on campus would have had a coronary.

Their medical school is on par with the likes of Duke and John Hopkins. They have an excellent law school. However, it's a small private school, more like a Notre Dame, less like a Florida. You just get the impression it's a big school because of it's football program. Beautiful little campus, though.
March 23, 201610 yr Exactly. If you know anything about the U itself and Coral Gables, you knew the convicts vs. catholics stuff was sheer lunacy. There aren't many thugs walking the campus in CG.
March 23, 201610 yr Love the U, but Richt has his work cut out for him. Lots of talent, but lots of holes as well because of depth.

March 23, 201610 yr Including fake photos of their stadium on gamedays lol Miami Hurricanes Photoshopped image going viral They may report 40,000 a game, but I've been there twice, and both times the place was empty, not even half that number. UM draws better in Tampa than they do in Miami, anymore. Most of their fan base is not in the Miami metroplex. I'm not sure building a new stadium closer to campus will do the trick, either. Even the old Orange Bowl was half empty in 2004, when I was there. Their motto recently has been "It's all about the U". Fraid not. It's all about winning. This is Miami, not South Bend, not Columbus, not Gainesville. If they are not winning, and doing so consistently, the fans would rather head to South Beach. It is what it is.

"It's all about the U" really doesn't hold much with the kids today because most weren't alive long enough to remember it if they were alive at all. They've got to start with something different. They have fallen into mediocrity and seem to have accepted it. Maybe Richt can pull them out of the hole they've dug.
