Sitting at home watching the NFL as usual this Sunday and saw a little news flash come across the email. The Canes' trip to Texas A&M next Saturday will be a 3:30 p.m. kickoff instead of an 8 p.m. start.
I know this happened on Friday, but I wanted to get your reaction to the news that UM has agreed to play Nebraska in 2014 and 2015. Do you like it? Obviously, Miami and Nebraska haven't played of late like the national championship contenders they were in the past. My question is will Nebraska even be any good? The Cornhuskers have obviously dropped off since Tom Osborne left the program and seem to be just another Big 12 team these days. Not, that UM has done much either since the 2001 title game.
Still, my question is why has UM been so focused on playing Big 12 teams in the regular season? Since 2005, UM has scheduled games against Oklahoma for a home-and-away series (2007, 2009), Texas A&M (2007, 2008) and has Kansas State in (2011 and 2012). Now Nebraska? Miami does have a home-and-home with Ohio State in 2010 and 2011. But, can I formally request athletic director Kirby Hocutt to venture outside the Big 12? How about the Pac-10? Washington (2001) was the last Pac 10 team UM played in the regular season. How about a trip out to Southern Cal? Miami hasn't faced the Trojans since 1968.
Or, how about somebody other than Florida from the SEC? Miami played Tennessee in 2002 and 2003, but hasn't played anyone else from the SEC since it won at Arkansas in 1991. How about a home-and-home against Georgia (whom UM hasn't played since 1966) or Auburn (1984). LSU bombed the Canes 40-3 in the 2005 Peach Bowl. But how about a home-and-home with the Tigers, who last hosted UM in the regular season in 1988? I'm just saying.
The ACC is weak, but now that Miami is in the ACC, they cannot win!

Canesrule,
UF's C game? WOW! LMFAO!!!!
Ummmmm, wasn't Teblow in the game THE ENTIRE TIME? Yes, also your first team. Oh, but they had an off day...blah...blah...blah.
Hey ya'll, here's Canesrule excuse when UF loses, "Oh, the team missed the plane, and we didn't even show up."
HOW PATHETIC!!!!
Uh, no...Miami's defense punched them in the mouth for 3 and a half quarters. Not too bad coming off a 5-7 season.
5 > 2

ESPN news just stated the game would start at 3:30 on ABC.

Get ready guys canesrule is getting out of high school in about 30 mins. He is anxiously ready to respond, as soon as he puts down his gaytors backpack and runs to the computer and clicks on 'eye on the u' under his favorites.

Canesrule,
What happened in the '96 NC? Nebraska smack a favored UF team around 62-24.
BRING IT!
This is fun comparing UF to Miami only for U TO FIND OUT JUST HOW SUCKY UF REALLY IS!!!
Bash us for 2-3 years of downtime while UF is never around long enough for anyone to take notice. LMAO!!!

Has anyone else heard this? I've been wondering why he doesn't play.
----------------------------------------
Jermaine Mckenzie ive heard through the grape vine isnt playing because of some tensions between him and coaches. Apparently he wasnt even going to go with the team to UF but other players stepped in and said they werent going either unless the team took him with them. I know it sounds childish but my sources are pretty direct.
