The NCAA banned college coaches from text-messaging recruit back in 2007 because of the potential cost to a student athlete who did not have an unlimited text messaging plan. This has become a growing problem because the NCAA was asleep at the switch when text messaging became a primary means of communication in this country. The Miami Hurricanes have self reported several texting infractions in several sports, Football, Track, and possibly baseball. Personally the fact that a team can be put... [Read more]

On Wednesday Randy Shannon signed a new four year deal to re-up as the Head Coach of the Miami Hurricanes Football Team. Many people speculated and debated on whether Shannon deserved an extension or not because although the team has improved every year under his watch, there are still some questions. This is a good move for the football program, but I believe it was made for bigger reasons than just the X’s and O’s. The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the most of the... [Read more]

I just whipped his team, shouldn't I make more money than him? There is an 800 pound Ibis in the room no matter what subject comes up regarding Miami Hurricanes Football. That would be the contract extension of head coach Randy Shannon, who right now is the 11th highest paid coach in the ACC. Not to mention that he is not really the 11th highest paid he is tied with the guy in 12th place Frank Spaziani of Boston College. In one of my other articles I talked about how “cheap” Miami can...

On September 11th, 2010 the Miami Hurricanes will fly into Columbus to take on the Ohio State Buckeyes. This is going to be one of the toughest tests of the season, as Ohio State has been one of the top programs in College Football over the last eight years. I would say a lot of that has to do with playing in the Big Ten which is a weakened conference up until last season, but Miami as always can match Ohio State athlete for athlete and should be able to win this game. This game is about revenge.... [Read more]

The Miami Hurricanes wrapped up week two of Spring practice with a Saturday scrimmage. The offense had some positive and some negatives, the running backs performed well which is to be expected. Damien Berry had 48 yards on eight carries, Lamar Miller had 32 yards on nine carries, and Storm Johnson added 34 yards on six carries continuing the steam he has built up so far in spring practice. The wide receiving core was another story, there were many dropped passes by the receivers and tight ends,... [Read more]
