The Best Week Ever
I hereby nominate the University of Miami for consideration on VH1’s show, Best Week Ever, for January 20-27, 2013. I cannot remember our ‘Canes having such a charmed week since my college days (99-03), and you know what? I could get used to this sort of thing.
The last decade of ‘Canes fandom, and in particular, the last few years, has taken a certain type of devotion.
By devotion, I mean some seasons where you had to drink enough jello shots prior to a ‘Canes game so that you don’t necessarily understand to which team your QB just threw. By devotion, I mean you take relaxing 25 hour vacations to exotic destinations like Charlottesville, VA, just to see your team lose in the last 6 seconds, and then decide to make a similar pilgrimage to Durham, NC to bid your team farewell during the off-season because Duke . . . freaking DUKE, is your team’s version of a bowl game.
Yeah, it hasn’t been pretty lately, but weeks like this past one make me dare to dream that the ‘Canes have done their penance and that maybe we have put this whole bad chapter behind us. Maybe I’m getting ahead of myself, but the evidence is somewhat undeniable that everything affiliated with the University of Miami thriving, while those that are trying to take down the ‘Canes are failing miserably:
First, the week began with the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers (and the EIGHT ‘Canes on their rosters) winning the AFC and NFC championships for a spot in the Super Bowl. In their wake, they took down teams with fewer ‘Canes. Let that be a lesson to coaches and owners out there: He who has the most ‘Canes, wins.
Then, we get the news that we already knew: that the NCAA was out to get Miami by any means necessary. The kicker here was that this idea wasn’t coming from ‘Canes fans making awesome signs at a tailgate, but rather, the president of the NCAA himself. This story is still unfolding and is not by any means over. Indeed, we could write another article just speculating what will happen regarding UM’s punishment: time served vs. additional slap on the wrist? What we absolutely know for sure is that stupid gator skank running the investigation against us did what Floriduh does best: flop.
Now, at this point of the week, I was already thinking that this was the best week ever. I didn’t know what more the ‘Canes had in store for us. Then Wednesday night rolled around and Duke tried to take on the ‘Canes at the BUC . . . and failed miserably. Miami: 90 Duke: 63. Larranaga and his team sent a message to Duke and the world that evening, earning Miami’s fist win over a first-ranked team, and the third highest margin of victory EVER over a first-ranked team.
Okay, at this point, I was really like, okay, wow, we are awesome and stuff. But the ‘Canes weren’t done having their way with this week. Not to be outdone by Larranaga, Coach Golden decided that this is his world, we are all just living in it, and the criminoles have to pay the rent. What? In short, he stole Florida State’s offensive coordinator James Coley from Jimbo Fisher, likely sealing the deal to take one or two of FSWHO’s coveted recruits with him to Coral Gables. If you don’t believe in Golden yet after this move, I think you are about to in 9 more days. Coach Eye Candy could sell snow to an Eskimo.
By the weekend, I thought, wow, what a great week. Now for the ‘Canes to rest from all their awesomeness, and maybe take it easy on our trailer-dwelling brothers to the north. But no, the ‘Canes weren’t done. Miami hoops went back at it for a second-consecutive sell-out crowd and this time, it was personal. Hated rival FSWHO was in town with their vomit-inducing garnet and gold color combination and the smell of rotten teeth. The ‘Canes once again showed the world they are the real deal with yet another convincing ACC victory, Miami: 71 FSU: 47. Now the ‘Canes sit atop of the ACC 6-0 and are ranked #14/15 in the polls.
Then, later last night, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was crowned the new WWE Champion at Royal Rumble.
Seriously? Is this real life? Are we THAT much better than every other school out there?
In short: Yes. Yes, we are.
I hope you enjoyed the Best Week Ever, ‘Canes fans, and that the coming week and a half brings you joy as you see more ‘Canes getting Super Bowl rings as well as the new young men who will be donning the orange and green next fall. I think with this unbelievable week behind us that we can truly say that the future looks bright and without a doubt: IT’S GREAT TO-BE A MI-AMI HURR-ICANE!
GO ‘CANES!


































Go Canes!!!
2nd!!
Nice first, Mom! Here’s an orange and a green!!!
DZ8, here’s a couple just to say, nice to have you around!
Happy happy
Joy joy
LMAO@ Coach eye-candy. Between Coley and Al, I won’t have any trouble convincing the GF to get season tix with me again. Hey, I don’t mind if she has crushes on Canes coaches.
Green will be good!
Loved the article!
It IS great to be a Miami Hurricane!
(Oh, my buddy DJ from Md. Game loved your, he who has the most Canes wins!
JSQ Epic Article. Gold Star 4 U!
Mom cheats.
Just sayin…
GO CANEZ!!!!!
Lol. Mom has the advantage with the broken foot. Not much else going on to distract her from her firsts unless JSK is over there taking out the trash and cleaning the kitty’s litterbox!
Glad you guys liked the article!
Thanks to all for all the well wishes
This ish is real…lol
Y’all are the best friends I’ve never met …can’t wait till I do tho.
Hurri and U&0 had me rollin talkin bout housing ish…
No need to jack it..they gave it away.
All that talk about Goldie and Coley being easy on the eyes is ghey!!!
Thought Coley looked like jimbo…
Holla in a few days
Thirteenth!
Glad to see the Rock reference got into the article, and the ItsGreat ToBe AMiamiHurrrrricane! It was like foreshadowed in the previous blog comments.
The Rock is a money making machine. Props.
Nash, it’s not gay for me to say Coach Golden is handsome.
You do know I’m a girl, right?
Here, let me remind you:

Did you see the comments on the actual letter!!!
http://www.dukechronicle.com/article/i-found-duke-basketball-pride-amid-hurricane-hatre
Takes me back in time to the insufferable jerks I had to tolerate in graduate school. The ones who thought they came from better schools.
Bori, did you see the name of one of the posters: la ***** de tu madre llora
Canes a 3 seed in Lunardis latest bracketology
God what I would give for a Canes bball championship
If there is any year to do it its this year. Senior heavy, nice rotation, great chemistry… It is really going to depend on how the brackets shake out if we have a favorable matchups with teams within our bracket.
I am trying to really enjoy this year bc I think looking to next year it might be tough to sustain this level of success just bc of with who we lose
http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/bracketology
Plus, the NCAA tournament selection committee doesn’t look at winning margin (the better to prevent teams from running up the score) and it does take into consideration the differences in a team’s ability before, during and after it loses a player to injury. (This will help Miami, as well, because its losses all happened when either Reggie Johnson or Durand Scott was out of the lineup.) Point is, no, Duke doesn’t look particularly good right now. But I think Joe nailed the way the selection committee would rationalize the Blue Devils’ No. 1 seed spot.
LOL! I loved the far more evenhanded account of what happened in this article.
Notice that you can see the six beleaguered Dookies in the crowd shots, NOT getting heckled, beaten, or even noticed.
http://www.thepostgame.com/commentary/201301/duke-blue-devils-fans-college-basketball-fans-miami
Brave man, in my opinion.
I wonder how he feels about miss whiny’s comments…
Dong•an hour ago−
Michelle: “OMG they talked about penises! I am so offended.”
Friend: “I know, right? Ugh…stiff penises and pizza. I’m never going back there again.”
Michelle: “Wait, what are penises? My enriched Duke undergraduate experience didn’t expose me to those”
Alllllllllllright now…
I’ve allowed y’all to bask in y’all’s glow of the Duke victory long enough.
That’ll be quite enough of the Devil haggling.
Lest we forget the ACTUAL pecking order of the ACC…
Nash,
You got it brotha!!!
Your baby will be “cute” for about three or four months, before that wears off, and she becomes a burden. (Abiet a lovable one)
If you can hypnotize someone into watchin the baby, try and scurry on up to either UNC or NCST.
Jello is pretty much the governor of North Carolina at this point, and those will probably be the most neutral games to make, for everyone outside of FL.
Cept’ for C1…who for some reason lives in New Hampshire (a place I’ve actually been, and is ultra-scenic but LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME).
Phuck that guy though…he’s rich. He can fly his azz down there.
Hurri,
You need to take that ish to a Duke blog. This is ‘Canes country. And there’s a new world order.
Jello is pretty much the governor of North Carolina at this point.

My inaugaration is actually next week, if you can make it.
C’mon hurri. Tell me you don’t want to slap that b$(&h upside the head tho.
CO the link Bori posted has pretty much the same pic from a different angle. And after seeing what the Dookie fans look like this commenter hit the nail on the head…
I think it’s obvious from the photograph that these Duke girls are seriously ugly —
that’s gotta be tough when surrounded by hot Miami girls. Maybe that’s the real cause of your concern?
Man…this was a great article. I must agree…things look pretty darn bright. Too bad my shades are broken. LOL
Greentree, this girl would have offed herself already if she had to go to school there a decade or so ago when the admission standards were not so high.
I’m not saying I didn’t do well at UM, but damn, you have to REALLY have a lot to offer when your competition is a bunch of Playmates and Maxim models. Fortunately, I do.
UM students today are still cuter than Duke students, of course, but there’s not much that isn’t cuter than those genetic mutations, some of whom, have apparently never seen sunlight despite attending grad school in Coral Gables.
Lest we forget the ACTUAL pecking order of the ACC…
http://www.theacc.com/this-is/accstandings.html
Yes, let’s not forget that….
I remember those days, JSQ. I grew up pretty close to campus and lets just say I didn’t ride bike around there for the exercise.
Virginia Tech your Azz is next tomorrow night.
Thats right fuq vag tech
Hurri you’ll get your shot at a rematch soon enough
CO, best part of the article…
“I’m sorry, dude,” he says.
“It’s cool,” I respond.
He catches sight of my shirt.
“No, I’m not,” he says, suddenly annoyed. “Duke bleeping sucks.”
Lyquid!
What up fam! Long time no see!
I liked that too, Greentree.
I find our fans rather charming…
All th Duke blogs are torturously boring.
My personality doesn’t mesh well with Republican North Carolinians…for whatever reason.
Not too keen on my views of picking cotton and tobacco, either…
Trust me dookies are far from being republicans

Too bad the Duke Lacrosse team wasn’t there to protect those haggard sluts
Oh boy. I can already see her LinkedIn page turning into LeSean McCoy’s babymama’s twitter page.
Oh my goodness! A duke fan annoyed with annoying fans…oxymoron???
Nicole will be interviewing at Miller on Friday, hopefully this girl won’t be her student interview? How long has she been in Miami?
Great Canes week
JSQ – get your boy beast under control pretty please
She is so brilliant.
“Hey, I live and work here, let’s insult everyone in the area, generalize, and distance myself from my peers. Then when they react like human beings do everywhere on planet earth, I will act offended and insult them again through the media. That will go over real well with my teachers, fellow students, and patients.”

On the subject even Chuck Todd got into it…..!!
Chuck Todd @chucktodd
Given the reputation of the Cameron crazies, this letter was bound to be treated like Crocodile tears. http://deadspin.com/5979830/duke-fan-writes-unbearably-condescending-letter-after-being-harassed-at-duke+miami-game …
Now a days with social media everyone is a reporter and a sensationalist….
SportsCenter @SportsCenter
Ray Lewis on SI report linking him to banned substance: “To even entertain stupidity like that, tell them to get a story off somebody else”
Cubed, I lay no claim to him.
Especially after a snippy Twitter comment from a few weeks back . . .
Go Canes!
Bori – that name had me crying
Golden has in home visit scheduled with Bryant on Friday. I wrote this kid off a long time ago but if Golden is still after him he must be worth it.
JSQ – he loves to go off the deep end at the slightest hint of bad news and assumes the worst. It gets old. I get the part about being a “journalist” but how about not assuming the sky is falling every single frakking time. Read his twitter timeline today if you get a chance later.
That Med student is slightly off her rocker. Many (not all) MD’s generally score low on social skills and she has to be in the bottom quintile. You’re at a sporting event and people were being meanies. Shocker. CO is right, just blissfully unaware of where she is and how people react. Not someone you’d want giving you bad news about a family member.
Our newest walk-on kicker. Good find by Uncle Al and it didn’t cost a scholly for this year!

^^^Punter I should say, not kicker #difference
He does kick off, tho
That Dook b*tch needs to be “bullied” right in her pooper – that might loosen her up a little, literally and figuratively
Spend less time typing up a whiny b*tch letter to your college paper and use that time to go get a dicking. Getting laid might help your uptight idiotic ass. Who the hell would’ve thought you’d get sh*t talked at you when you’re smack dab in the middle of the student section, wearing enemy gear. You really got into Duke being that f*cking stupid? Must be one of the dumbest smart people ever
Go sit in the 700 Level in Philly, wearing Cowboy gear, b/c nothing will happen at all
F*ck Duke.
“respect for Cameron Crazies, an exemplary group of boisterous, witty and dedicated supporters—the sixth man, a true fan indeed.”
I’d like to kick every one of those f*ckwads right in the throat
Word, Six.

Im actually a UNC fan when it comes to college bball. Been all my life.
Canes bball is ghey…

Where’s Jackie Childs when u need him??
Less dancin and prayin and more label reading and paying attention playboy.
Six lmao!
GO CANEZ!!!!!
Canes basketball now is like Canes football in the early 80′s. Gaining some momentum aftet years of being laughed at by the big boys. The crocs and irish used to take us lightly in football just like Duke and Unc do in basketball. Coach L has to keep this up so we can beat the big boys on a consistent basis.
The ass raping Miami will give UNC next week will look kinda ghey, I’ll admit that
Bwahahahaha
Mentioning the two in the same sentence is cbb blasphemy.
Nouveau riche…
GO CANEZ!!!!!
Definitely nouveau riche. That’s a good description. We’re like Rodney Dangerfield showing up at the ACC country club in loud plaid pants and a green and orange golf sweater, flashing big wads of cash and being loud and obnoxious. I’ll take it.
Already handed UNC their Azz once. I see we have a lot of situational Canes fans. Smdh.
LOL Six! Yea send her ass up the Linc in a Boys jersey and she’ll really see whats up
C1 your “ghey”
GO CANES BASKETBALL!!!!!!!
Canes hoops is ballin right now, and deserve all the praise they accumulated from you guys…
But they’ve got a WAYS to go before they reach NCST’s prestige…let alone Duke or UNC.
Lets all put our erections away till March.
Also mother-phuck UNC.
Speaking of NC St lost to Virginia tonight assuming Miami beats Va Tech, which is not a given, that makes Saturdays game at NC St a little less big because maybe NC St isnt that good this year?
Lol at putting erections away until March. Great one Hurri.
Must have been steroid day yesterday:
http://miamiherald.typepad.com/umiami/2013/01/defense-attorney-for-um-baseball-conditioning-coach-says-his-client-didnt-break-law-or-ncaa-rules.html
If any of you believe these athletes are NOT using some form of enhancing drugs than you are very naive.
FYI- the amount of steroids in the lotion Ray used was/is in very small amounts. He would have to use it 3,000 times a day in order to get a full dosage of whatever “initial” drug they are accusing him of.
Athletes and the powers that be, are going to have reevaluate their policies on these drugs.
I just think it is ironic they can dope up on pain meds but not steroids?
And quite honestly I could care less if they do take steroids.
Haha I like the moxy!
And I never slice…
Im with ya CC.
All athletes should take ped’s. Sports would be extremely boring without them. We are all adults. If you choose to harm yourself and take risks then that is on you.
Get everyone on the same playing field and you wont ever have to worry about who is cheating or not.
F it.
GO CANEZ!!!!!

******************************************************
Have to disagree. The amount of kids that look up to athletes is staggering. Can you imagine the commercials?
“Hi, I’m Alex Rodriguez and every so often when I need a pick me up, I shoot a bit of PED into my ass. Yeah I know it shuts down my testosreone after a while but you can just fix it with a shot of human chorionic gonadotropin…you know the stuff extracted from the urine of pregnant woman. I just get it from my main man Jose.”
Just wouldn’t be the right call.
Unless we could find a way to tax it.
The holier than thou attitude with the media this morning is nauseating!
If you think it is just ARod…..stupid and naive these media types are!!!!!
Delray would you take steroid replacement if you are older and need it, lowT?
Do you think it is okay that high school players take Oxy?
What if it is legal?
CBS will regionally televise UM-N.C. State at 4 p.m. Saturday, with part of the country getting Georgetown-St. John’s instead.
This will be UM’s first CBS appearance since the 2008 NCAA Tournament…. Coach Jim Larranaga said on a conference call today that Shane Larkin “is having an all-conference caliber year. He’s good at everything.”
Fox Sports Florida airs Wednesday’s UM-Virginia Tech game at 9 p.m., opposite the 8 p.m. Heat-Nets game on ESPN and Sun Sports.
Media story’s about “found your name on a piece of paper” or “this guy who is sitting in a jail cell” mentioned your name are getting boring. I know everyday is more difficult to sell newspapers and magazines but come on, the media can do better than that.
LOL Delray very true.. tax that shyt
Seeing as though I am old, and even if it was legal I would probably say no.
I used Oxy all the time back when I was in HS. It worked better than clearasil on my acne.
I agree Bori.
I mean, think how easy it would be to buy an ARod signature for ten bucks, teach yourself to copy it, forge it on some doctor’s pad at a Low T clinic, and then pocket the attention and controversy when you leak it to Sports Illustrated.
Oh wait, that just happened! Maybe.
rom Ariz..
**Alex Collins: Collins had a successful visit to Arkansas over the weekend, but Miami is sitting in a very good spot. A source close to the situation told me today that he feels like Miami will ultimately be the decision, but that Collins has not necessarily made his final choice yet. This person also told me that Collins is fully aware that Miami is the best school in the mix and that he knows Miami puts top backs in the NFL, so those are two major aspects of his decision. Something interesting I was told as well is that Collins is “becoming his own man” with the decision. Interpret that however you like. 70% Miami
**Matthew Thomas: Despite James Coley’s departure from Florida State, the Noles are still in the picture here. I’ve spoken to two people in the last day with close ties to Thomas’ family and they both feel like he will end up at Miami, but that’s not to say anything is set in stone. This will continue to be a dogfight over the next week, but Miami has the upper hand. 70% Miami
**Denver Kirkland: This is very similar to the Thomas situation in that Miami holds the advantage, but he has not made his final decision as of yet. Somebody told me tonight that Kirkland’s step-dad isn’t all in on Miami so that is a minor hold-up as of right now, but that the coaching staff is working on settling those concerns. 65% Miami
**Stacy Coley: I have heard nothing but positive buzz for Miami on Coley over the past two days and I’ve had three different people tell me that he has made up his mind and will be a Hurricane come signing day. Another positive development in the Coley sweepstakes is that his very close friend Eddie Jackson will reportedly choose between Alabama and LSU, eliminating FSU. If Jackson would have chosen Florida State, that would have been a blow to Miami’s chances. Like I said, the noise has been in Miami’s favor the last couple days, but I’m always cautious with kids who very rarely speak to the media. 70% Miami
**Keith Bryant: Barring a last-minute miracle by Golden and staff, he will be a Nole. Golden, Carroll, and Franklin will go in-home with him on Friday before he takes his final visit to FAU this weekend. 20% Miami
**Rashard Robinson: Someone from the LSU side told me that Robinson is “telling Miami what they want to hear,” and that the LSU coaches have been reassured countless times by Robinson that he will stick to his commitment. Obviously take that with a grain of salt since it’s coming from LSU people, but this is from a very reliable source. Even if he does stick with them, do not completely count out the chance that he winds up at Miami at some point. There are major question marks about whether or not he will qualify, and if he has to go Prep then Miami has set themselves up nicely for a second crack at him. 25% Miami
Coworker claims to be a huge Ravens fan and his been sporting Ravens t-shirts to work all week long, but goes on to state that Ray Lewis is a defensive back? Cmon son!
I can walk into a clinic right now, say my dyk is limo and I have low energy and walk out with Testosterone/HGH, and if I get the testosterone cream, the insurance company will even cover it
All this fake outrage chaps my ass. I will bet you that everyone of the athlete/commentators on ESPN took PEDs. Every single one. As far as HS kids, wake da fugg up. When I played in HS over 20 years ago, there were quite a few guys cycling. Esp in the late spring/summer before practice started. I guarantee you well over 50% of the 4/5 star recruits have at least done a couple of cycles in HS. I’m not saying chronically, but at least once or twice.

I really cannot believe that some of you cheer for other basketball teams.
I don’t care what sport it is – football, basketball, women’s soccer, underwater basket weaving – I’m ALL ABOUT THE []_[] and I wouldn’t hesitate to tell the rival team’s fan to pump my gas or that they have a tiny d!ck at a collegiate math competition.
One loyalty, one team, one school, the end.
GO ‘CANES!
Preach
The above comment and types like it are why JSK is looking into a snazzy orange and green muzzle for me to wear to the Floriduh game.
As Canez1, knows, the latter statement was my parting comment to the UVA fans who chased us into the concourse after we lost.
I said it nicely though:
“You, sir, have a TINY penis!” [JSQ holds thumb and forefinger an inch apart in the air]
Seriously Cx3 people really need to open their eyes!
By the way I personally reap the benefits of the “older” man pharmecticul innovations…..and I kinda like it
!!!!!
Again I live with a legal drug pusher (who fills scripts for many a high school athlete) and 2 chemistry geeks….chemicals are chemicals no matter who approves them or pushes them, they are still chemicals.
so many high school athletes and students on some form of anti-depressent….some are being prescribed oxy by doctors.
Soon I believe just like Mary Jane, most of these drugs will be legal, just a matter of time.
Sports are not pure, plain and simple.
NCAA I personally believe has seen its day…..
The times they are a changing!!!!
And the oxy joke was funny.
Personally neither were very good for me

I always went with the “Tinted” version.
LOL! the tinted version!!!
Did you use “Sun-In” and “QT” too?
I think I stole my sisters Sun-In once. That was enough. Did not want to mess with that crap.
I only speak the truth…
Outside of the football squad, I don’t have any binds to the UM athletic program, and in actuality, I was rocking with Duke hoops before I ever watched a Miami game. So I would surely hope that wouldn’t mean that I should be riding with The Devils football squad.
No thanks.

Rest assured its the same type reaction that is directed towards us Cane fans, when we go on about “Five Rings” and “NFLU” and so forth.
Glass houses…
And if anybody wants to see my pen!s, all they have to do is ask.
And taking me out to Ruby Tuesdays might also be nice.
LOL Delray!
It made our hair so damn brassy!
The QT the best, my sister and I had orange hands for days after use.
I can only imagine the cancer causing agents in that crap!
Also, since I’m on a rant, I’m done with that hysterical gargoyle known as Manny Navarro, for practically accusing Goins of being a drug pusher. The guy has his name on a list, for $400 a month, which to me indicates personal use, if you know anything about how much this stuff costs. So Navarro, being the FIU flunkie that he is, actually used the word “runner” in his article to describe the UM coach. “Runner” – I kid you not.
What a pathetic excuse for a journalist. Basically throws this guy under the bus, and accuses him of being a criminal, based on a thread if incomplete information.
I hope he and the Herald get sued for libel. This was malicious.
Fuck you Manny Navarro, you illiterate flunkie.

Cubed!! Brilliant!! Worthy of a Herald OP ED!
JSQ, I just looked at that, thanks. I’m sure you’re not surprised and you and others anticipated this. The question is, how many more actions will result from others that have a stake in the original proceedings? It is truly amazing, and I find incredulous, that this institutional malfeasance was isolated and implemented without the tacit approval of those higher in the structure. Even more ridiculous is that a two week investigation will uncover all pertinent facts as they relate to UM. Sad to day, unless the NCAA soon submits allegations that limit our recommended penalties to time served, this may drag on longer, all due to the NCAA’s self-admitted illegal and/or unethical activities.
Anybody else see the “Welcome to the U?” go out?
JSQ – Your friend Reva looks hot!
Oh wait, their are ads popping up under the photo for women in lingerie. I thought I was being tricked!
Oh wait again, unless she is the one with the U shaved into her head, she IS hot.
You do seem to hang out with the most high quality of people.
As for the article itself, she is so right! This lady did the equivalent of wearing a KKK hood at an NCAAP meeting (well not that far, but CLOSE) and then acts offended that she got ripped.
The Cameron Crazies are embarrassed to be associated with her today….
*there, I can’t believe I made that mistake. Must be the Five Guys flowing through my brain….
Wait, that sounds… wrong. Must be the soda and burger flowing through my brain.
LMAO @ the Five Guys comment, Outie!
Delray, I saw someone post about the commit on FB but then the phone rang and I lost the post.
Cubed, at this point, the NCAA’s further delay in this matter is grounds for a lawsuit from UM. We can’t really go after them for mishandling the investigation for what we imposed upon ourselves, but if they dare drag this out for another season and/or give us anything but time served or a slap on the wrist, I think Shalala will go to war.
Odds of the NCAA doing something about this?
I give it a John Blutarsky’s GPA chance.

Check Ray Lewis for horns. If none there, let him play.
Five-star running back Alex Collins to make commitment Monday
2:45 p.m. EST, January 30, 2013
South Plantation running back Alex Collins, one of the nation’s top college prospects, won’t be waiting until next Wednesday’s National Signing Day to make his college decision.
Instead, Collins will announce his college decision on Monday, and instead of the stage at South Plantation, he’ll be using a national one. Collins will travel to Atlanta, and will make his announcement as part of a live Fox Sports special at 10 p.m.
Currently, the special is not set to air live in South Florida, though Fox Sports is working to rectify that situation.
Collins will decide between two schools, Miami — to whom he was committed for nearly the entirelty of 2012 — and Arkansas.
Collins will be sharing the stage with five-star linebacker Reuben Foster of Auburn, Alabama, who is also expected to make his commitment Monday.
Who broke the blog?

DZ, This is the calm before the storm on NSD. Hopefully we will all have a lot to talk about next week.
So, this Larkin kid, he’s pretty good I see….
And Art Kehoe on Joe Rose this morning talking recruiting, great stuff!
“Hey Al, we got the juice on this kid!”

Miami: One of the more surprising moments of the college basketball season thus far occurred on Jan. 23, when Miami blasted No. 1 Duke 90-63. The Hurricanes were picked to finished fifth in the ACC and lost nonconference games to Florida Gulf Coast, Indiana State and Arizona by 19 points.
But all of that was so 2012. Jim Larranaga’s squad is 7-0 in January and 6-0 in the ACC, which puts them in first place ahead of Virginia (5-2) and Duke (4-2).
“We’re just plugging along right now,” Larranaga said before Tuesday’s practice. “We’re still in the process of figuring things out. The guys have worked hard, but we still have a long way to go. We’re only six conference games into an 18-game conference schedule.”
Perhaps, but that doesn’t mean Hurricanes fans can’t get excited.
Miami has had two consecutive home sellouts for the first time in program history, Larranaga said. And Saturday’s game at NC State will be broadcast nationally by CBS. “Everything is headed in a very positive direction,” said Larranaga, the former George Mason coach who is in his second season at Miami.
Much like Ole Miss, the Hurricanes are led by upperclassmen. Five of Miami’s top six scorers are seniors, and sophomore point guard Shane Larkin — the son of former major league baseball player Barry Larkin — is averaging 12.3 points, 4.4 assists and 2.2 steals.
Miami has won 20 or more games in each of the past three seasons but hasn’t reached the NCAA tournament since 2008. “I certainly think players get hungrier,” Larranaga said. “Even if you’ve enjoyed a lot of success, you want more. Until you’ve won a national championship, you still have a major goal to accomplish.”
PREDICTION TIME:
NC State 63, vs. Miami 59: The Hurricanes have been the story of the ACC season thus far, but their success could come to a halt — at least temporarily — against the league’s most talented team. If Miami can beat NC State on the road, it would be even more impressive than last week’s home shellacking of Duke.

Way to go Danny Boy
http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/01/30/3209041/sec-charges-five-in-ponzi-scheme.html
This could really ruin my weekend.
Am I the only one who thought of the football conference when I first saw the link to the article?
Danny Boy still has the fastest release in the free world…
http://m.tmz.com/#Article/2013/01/31/dan-marino-love-child-cbs-emoployee-wife-baby-mama
That’s my quarterback!
Lol, KB, that’s sort of why I posted it because I knew that’s where your mind would go!
I am the only one here who specializes in securities fraud so whenever I say SEC, even my co-workers think I’m talking about the football conference, especially the crocs! lol
JSQ, My first thought was “SEC…Ponzi Scheme…damn this Nevin Shapiro investigation is about to take another turn for the worse.”
Oh my.
Not at all surprised and this makes Dan a scumbag . . . but I gotta say Mrs. Marino must not have invoked enough fear in him for that ish to be going on.
If you have an Italian man, who let’s face it – are more prone to cheating, you need to make him so f@cking afraid to p!ss you off that he goes over to your mom’s house to clean the litter box of her 17 year old cat without even being asked.
And knowing how to make a mean baked ziti helps as well.
What a nightmare for that family.
Keep it in your pants, Dan.
Haha, KB. Nope, those are just my cases (my clients aren’t named, thank God) but now the SEC is involved.
FUN!
Mrs Marino is gonna get her Mrs Bryant on….If she knows what’s good for her.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnAphePDrPU
If that ish happened to me, I’d make Lorena Bobbitt look downright sane and civil with her reaction to infidelity.
JSQ, I thought for a second you had invested in those condos. I get it now. The second someone guarantees that kind of return up front with guaranteed income streams on the back end you’re talking lala land. There are no GUARANTEED returns on the open market except like 0.5% to maybe 1+ percent.
It’s just easier to play stocks and bonds with hedges and if you’re good, or have a good adviser, then you can do over 10-15%, if you’re willing to assume the risk (think fall 2008).
Why do otherwise smart people fall for this ish?
Cubed, as someone who has deposed EVERY. SINGLE. PLAINTIFF. in these class actions, I can tell you: most aren’t so bright.
Danny, Danny, Danny…
You’d think a guy who pitched Isotoners on TV would have a strict “No glove no love” policy.
The Miami Herald also contacted the wrong attorneys for the article.
I swear, for the most part, the IQ of people who write for that garbage paper must be in the negatives.
Ya think
Looks like the spring game is April 13.
ESPN picking against Miami AGAIN?
Why am I not surprised.
And to me the SEC football conference is a giant ponzi scheme. People at the bottom keep giving in money, hoping someday that it might pay off. Suckers.
Palm Beach County’s class of 2014 brimming with football talent
Wednesday, January 30, 2013
by Jeff Greer
Urban Meyer walked into Palm Beach Central High School on Monday and got some bad news from hotly recruited Broncos junior offensive tackle Kc McDermott.
“Are we in your top five?” the Ohio State coach asked, according to a source’s account of the meeting.
“No, sir,” McDermott replied, never losing eye contact.
Meyer responded, “Are you considering us at all?”
“No, sir,” McDermott said.
Even the most famous college football coaches should expect similar conversations with several Palm Beach County players during the next year. The county’s 2014 class of prospects, one of the top local classes in recent history, could boast more than 35 FBS signees next year, up from an expected 25 or so this year.
McDermott, the 6-foot-6, 290-pound younger brother of Miami center Shane McDermott and former Colorado State lineman Tyler McDermott, could be the nation’s top-rated tackle in the 2014 class. He’s in the process of narrowing his college choices to five, with Florida, Miami and Notre Dame expected to be finalists and Alabama, Michigan and a few others jostling for the other two spots.
Dwyer junior Johnnie Dixon meets with the same coaches who visit McDermott. Dixon (6-0, 180) is a track star and the complete package at receiver. He already boasts verbal scholarship offers from Alabama, Florida, FSU, Miami and several other major programs.
Dixon’s classmates, receivers Ezra Saffold and Clint Stephens, edge rusher Mark Kelly and safety Shawn Boone, are surefire FBS prospects and should end up at BCS programs.
The same expectations exist for receivers Adly Enoicy (Atlantic), Travis Rudolph (Cardinal Newman), Tre’Quan Smith (Village Academy), Rudolph St. Germain (Palm Beach Central) and Ronquavion Tarver (Glades Central).
And Park Vista coach Brian Dodds said hard-hitting safety Marques Gayot “will be a major Division I recruit.”
“Dixon, McDermott and Gayot are the real deals (and) might be No. 1 at their positions,” said interim Seminole Ridge head coach Justin Hilliker, who coached against all three this past football season.
What separates the 2014 class from recent years is depth. Beyond the aforementioned prospects, several wild cards could change 2014 from a good year to a great year.
Palm Beach Central running back Tommy McDonald chats with virtually every coach who comes to see McDermott. Park Vista cornerback Renard Cheren, quarterback Qwad Martin and running back Emmanuel Smith experience a similar effect with Gayot attracting so many recruiters.
Pahokee, despite its 9-20 record during the past three seasons, owns a 2014 class with serious potential. Rashaun Croney, who has played quarterback, receiver and defensive back for the Blue Devils in the past three seasons, landed a verbal offer from South Carolina in December.
Glades Central, too, could see an increase in Division I signees after an off-year in 2013. Only standout cornerback William Likely landed on an FBS roster, enrolling early at Maryland.
Roshard Burney (Palm Beach Gardens), Andy Daceus (John I. Leonard) and Tremaine McCullough (Royal Palm Beach) will be prepared to enter the FBS ranks after spending their second year in junior college this year.
“The amount of Division I-level prospects that will come out of there will be impressive,” said Chris Nee, a recruiting analyst for 247sports.com, a popular football recruiting site.
Miami coach Al Golden will visit Palm Beach County on Friday. He wants to lock up Atlantic senior Keith Bryant, but his other stops that day — to visit McDermott, Rudolph and Dwyer — are junior-centric. Golden’s Hurricanes could make a major splash and sign several of the county’s top 2014 prospects.
But with more than a year to go before the Class of 2014′s signing day, one thing’s crystal clear: Palm Beach County’s next group of football prospects will have the pick of the litter.
KC McDermott! Ha!

Kehoe said what I’ve been saying, the BEST recruiters are the kids themselves. They make all the difference in the world. The Duke’s, the TH3′s, the Deon Bush’s, etc.
True, bg, at least until the NCAA makes that illegal, too.
Big game on Saturday:
This weekend’s ACC headliner matches the team picked to win the conference against the team that might actually do it. There’s no greater juxtaposition between North Carolina State and Miami than how each dealt with its midweek trip to Virginia.
The Wolfpack couldn’t make enough winning plays down the stretch to beat UVa. The Hurricanes’ veteran squad had enough to hold off Virginia Tech and remain perfect in conference play. Shane Larkin, who dropped 25 on the Hokies, said of his dagger 3 late: “It’s always fun to shush a home crowd.”
Shushing NC State’s home crowd is much different. It seems the Pack’s transition game hits a higher gear in Raleigh. Both Jay Bilas and Seth Greenberg love the way NC State outlets the ball when running the break. Keep an eye out to see if the Canes can take away those passes and keep the Wolfpack from running.

This stuff about Marino is ridiculous. First of all, I know it’s impossible to keep something like this secret, but it is a private matter. I think it’s between him, his family, and the other lady involved. It’s not like he went around pretending to be a saint, he!s just a human being who can make mistakes, like all of us. I normally wouldn’t comment on something so trivial, but I happen to have met him socially several times, and he is a very laid back, regular guy. He has a bunch of kids (several of them adopted) and devotes a ton of time and funds to charities without seeking publicity. He’s very generous with his time and money and is a devoted father – I know this because my kids went to the same school as some of his kids and he was very involved, embarrassingly, way more than me. I don’t judge, but imo I see a good man. The way the local media is humping this story is gross.
DM is my hero on the field.
F all that BS.
GO CANEZ!!!!!
We have become a society of old ladies reading the enquirer.
Could care less about it. All the media coverage of this and the Tao fiasco repulsed me.
Everyone obsessed with it needs to run,not walk somewhere to find a life.
Still has the most insane release ever. Light speed.
Totally agree.
The pussification of america is well under way.
The gender blender is on high.
Cant f’n stand it.
I was at the fake spike game in the meadowlands supporting my boys in a sea of puke green.
Will never forget it. The place was silent and I was giving my boy a standing O. That went well.
I will never forget that day. My hatred for the Jets is unmatched.
GO CANEZ!!!!!
The media is polluting our brains and thus our society under the cover of the 1st amendment. They respond to no one and are free to publish whatever they deem….will sell paper, magazines or get eyeballs….is it time somebody holds them accountable?
new blog up
Fake spike – has to be in my top 3 of favorite plays.
I wasn’t there, but watched it with friends, went crazy, sh!t flying. Whoever thought of that play has my lifetime admiration.
