Get Off The BandWagon, And Stay Off...

Lets get straight to the point. All of you people that keep saying The U is back, go back and root for the same teams you've been rooting for. UF or FSU or USC. Let us true 'Cane fans soak in this glory. I'm from Miami, moved to L.A. in '79 and have been strongly representing the 'Canes and 'Fins since I've arrived in the backyard of the overrated USC click, the Pac10. I feel its my right to voice this for all the TRUE HARDCORE 'Cane lovers out there. The ones that witnessed the birth of a National Powerhouse in the early 80's. For the newcomers, the 80's were special. The records only show that we won 3 rings in the 80's. They don't talk about how many times we played for the ring. It was like six times. Then the woeful 90's. We split the ring with Washington in '91 and went into a spiral after that. The NCAA hit us hard and all we could do was sit back and wait for our sentence to end. Even had a writer from Sports Illustrated give us a full front page cover story rant of why The U should shut down our football program in '95. Probation was a long hard bitch. Then '99 comes along and we get robbed of the chance to play for the ring by computers. WE BEAT FSU THAT YEAR. Yet in '01, at the Rose Bowl(i was there), we earn another ring. '02 was wrong, ref knew that call was late, he was soul searching for the midwest. Then another spiral after it was realized that Coker couldn't recruit, and even I could've coached that '02 team to back to back rings. So here we are, enjoying the fruits of the recruiting harvest that RS has brought to the table. Now EVERYONE wants to eat. That means you ANDREW SHARP!!! I want to show the 'Cane Nation a true jumper in all his glory. Go to the link and read up from the bottom of the page. How his comments start are far from how they end. This is how they start.

 
OU
Strikes
First:
Oklahoma
7
Miami 0

Redshirt freshman QB Landry Jones is maturing before our very eyes! His performance on Oklahoma’s opening drive was a far cry from the bed wetting we saw in the second half of Oklahoma’s loss to BYU. He was sharp throughout the drive (3-4, 62 yards), and finished it with a 16-yard strike to Cameron Kenney for the score. Sooners up seven, and Hurricanes defense on notice: Bradford or no Bradford, Landry Jones is no pushover.

(And last week wasn’t a fluke: Jacory Harris’ charmed run is coming to an end. He just threw his second interception of the night. We’ve been watching this game for about fifteen minutes.)

Incredible...

Do the math wagon jumpers. Our team has been consistently relevant. As a matter of fact, what other school has a National Championship in each of the last 3 decades?

We have Championships as Independents, as Big East members and coming as soon as this year, guaranteed next year, as ACC members. No other school in history has a football legacy such as ours. Yes the 50's, 60's and 70's blew past The U as far as football is concerned. Since the eighties, however, what D1 school has stayed in the national picture? That means a ring in each decade, not conference winning flags.

 Our school basically supplies the NFL with its elite talent. We call them ProCanes. As we true fans continue to support our 'Canes in bad times as well as the good, you wagon riders need to go where you're wanted, away from here...

Back??? We were still here while you were cheering for another team. Like the shirt says, "IT'S A 'CANES THING, YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND IT".
