USF is putting it on FSU with their new QB. Hopefully MSU takes down LSU. Tebow is ill along with Haden and Wright, and they had to take different flights because of it.
Posted by: 360Cane | September 26, 2009 at 01:34 PM
USF's QB is the real deal! Their "D" is hitting HARD as well!
Go 'canes!

Poring rain + Beamer ball + UM special teams = TURNOVERS !!!
Miami -4 in turnovers
Miami 16 - v-tech 23
(Mia is 5 - 9 vs. VT in last 14 games)

Yeah looks like South Florida came to play... FSU has not been able to block Selvy or the other JUCO transfer D End he is 6'7 245 with a wide wing span... Both D ends are Destroying FSU's O-Line

Posted by: westcoastibis | September 26, 2009 at 02:23 PM
Ponder just got sacked again by Pierre and he fumbled lol at the FL ST 13 yard line... USF is going to pull off a big WIN for their program... WOW lol @ FL ST FANS
Posted by: Papoute | September 26, 2009 at 03:04 PM
LSU not looking too good against Miss State. This is a team that will lose at some point.
Posted by: MRA | September 26, 2009 at 03:05 PM
Go Canes!

GAME TIME BABY LETS GOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: pay attention to the U | September 26, 2009 at 03:30 PM
Let's get it on.
Posted by: Beacane | September 26, 2009 at 03:32 PM
this is BS, game not showing in the Seattle area, they swear everyone here is Big Ten nuts so they have Ohio State v. Illinois on
And of course Comcast says they have an hour wait time over the phone to try getting the game via pay per view on Gameplan
Typing up my complaint as we speak!
Posted by: Russell | September 26, 2009 at 03:35 PM
Let's go CANES, punch them hokies in the face!
Posted by: philyblunt71 | September 26, 2009 at 03:36 PM
refs cheating allready.
Posted by: miateamsfan | September 26, 2009 at 03:48 PM
Try justintv.com, you can probably watch the game there.
Posted by: DFJ305 | September 26, 2009 at 03:49 PM
ok, how do the CANES respond? i think BIG TIME
Posted by: drifter | September 26, 2009 at 03:53 PM
Did the pay per view but had to order over the TV because Comcast has an hr. wait time.
The TV is a package so Comcast better be a little understanding here
About the game: Dang rain, going to be a field position battle.
Posted by: Russell | September 26, 2009 at 03:58 PM
smh this is a bad start to this game
Posted by: miateamsfan | September 26, 2009 at 04:07 PM
Miami needs to get in the game. refs are not helping by missing all kinds of stuff, but the canes have to overcome and they are not doing it right now.
Posted by: TXcanes1 | September 26, 2009 at 04:10 PM
Game over.... lets get ready for Oklahoma.
Posted by: The Rock | September 26, 2009 at 04:17 PM
Depth ?
RUN THE DAMN BALL !!!
Posted by: Soldinger | September 26, 2009 at 04:20 PM
this what we needed
Posted by: miateamsfan | September 26, 2009 at 04:25 PM
Just the break we needed!
Posted by: Canes Fan 85 | September 26, 2009 at 04:25 PM
i dont understand this play calling.......where the screens?
Posted by: miateamsfan | September 26, 2009 at 04:27 PM
its 4 quarters, let VT energy drain, they will be gassed by the fouth, cut down on 3rd down mistakes
Shows how soft our DL is. maybe injury maybe smashmouth.
Canes will respond.
Posted by: doseman | September 26, 2009 at 04:28 PM
is it me or is vt getting away with alot of holding?
Posted by: miateamsfan | September 26, 2009 at 04:32 PM
Fellas if the Canes don't end up on top it aint going to be cause of the refs. Terrible excuse.
Posted by: Russell | September 26, 2009 at 04:33 PM
Man we are getting schooled, period!
Posted by: Floresle | September 26, 2009 at 04:36 PM
ok obviously its not gonna be a good day for the U, we are getting punked on both sides of the ball. But lets see who are the real canes fans and who will support this team after today.
Posted by: johnny | September 26, 2009 at 04:39 PM
The canes need to stop the run. They are having their way like Georgia tech did last year.
Posted by: Floresle | September 26, 2009 at 04:41 PM
beat down right now.
Posted by: MRA | September 26, 2009 at 04:42 PM
C'mon canes! Get this thing started!!!
Posted by: Floresle | September 26, 2009 at 04:43 PM
im disgusted with this play calling
Posted by: miateamsfan | September 26, 2009 at 04:45 PM
Man that third down is questionable play calling. Wow, this is a total disaster!
Posted by: Floresle | September 26, 2009 at 04:46 PM
This is Awesome!
The U.... BLAH BLAH BLAH
Whipple... BLAH BLAH BLAH
Jacory... BLAH BLAH BLAH
Your season ends TODAY!
Posted by: Frank Beamer | September 26, 2009 at 04:47 PM
Guess the ref missed the holding call on Bosher's leg too huh? Yall need to get real. The guys let the hype get to them and they are getting beat down. Coaches fault for letting that happen.
Posted by: Gibby | September 26, 2009 at 04:47 PM
wtf whipple terrible
Posted by: FEAR DA U | September 26, 2009 at 04:48 PM
One word.
Disgusting!!!
Posted by: lugnutt1 | September 26, 2009 at 04:48 PM
Well, so ends Miami's "fantasy football" week in the clouds. Reality bites. And yes, it may not be the main reason, but the officiating is putrid. The VT o-line is making more tackles than our entire defense.
Posted by: Oohlawhee | September 26, 2009 at 04:50 PM
plenty of football left in this one if it can start now for the Canes. On the bright side I won't have to worry about seeing those ridiculous game score predictions next week.
Posted by: Russell | September 26, 2009 at 04:50 PM
why they keep going play action.....nobody is going for that
Posted by: miateamsfan | September 26, 2009 at 04:51 PM
If Jacory can't throw the ball in the rain...we are done. The offensive line is getting rocked (big surprise) and the only way to back VT off is to complete slants and screens.
Javarris James doesn't run well in these conditions, they need to use Mike James.
Seems like it's only raining on our side of the field.
Posted by: Canesjunkie | September 26, 2009 at 04:52 PM
ok obviously running the ball ain't working, its not working and its not going to work!!! the conditions are horrible and techs defense is on point, I'm just praying the half ends right now. PLEASE!!
