U Sports Represent over Break: B-Ball and Football
While you were stuffing your faces with breasts and thighs this break, UM athletics continued to DO WORK in a big way.
For starters, the football team closed out it’s “storied” season (for lack of better a euphemism), beating intrastate rival USF by three touchdowns. Perhaps inspired by their debut Nike wardrobe, the Hurricanes defense and offense seemed to click wonderfully....
HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM US TO U!
Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and can remember all the reasons we should be grateful!
Best, Hurricane Pop!

duke - post game thoughts
Randy Shannon: That was a good win for us today to end up in the season. It was the last time for the seniors to play at home, so it was a big win. It lets us finish right for the first time in a long time in the ACC. 5-3 is huge for us. It's a start. We are better than we were last year but we got to keep getting better. Each year we have to build and keep going and each week as a football team we have to build and keep going.I thought it was tremendous how we bounced back from the first half, and I thought our defense really kept us in the game when the offense was struggling. When we got down into their territory we had a bad snap, a fumble and an interception. When we got down in the red zone in the first half, we didn't execute the way we were supposed to. We came back in the second half and I thought we did some great things. Especially offensively, I thought we did some great things. It looked like we were doing a lot of running the ball but actually we finished with 44 passing attempts and 43 rushing. Third down was unbelievable, it shows you when we come out and know what we need to do to get it done, it helps. We dropped some balls today. I'm not going to say we didn't but you have to have confidence in everything we do. Jimmy Graham came across the middle and dropped a ball but we came back to him with four or five catches on third down which was huge. I think that's what tells you what kind of confidence that our players have in what we're doing on offense. With Jacory [Harris] we just have to keep coaching. I think coach Whip did a great job this week and he's going to continue to do a great job of coaching him to be where he needs to be. As an overall game, I thought it was phenomenal, it was great, there is no more you can ask for when you get a win like this.
Jacory Harris: Duke was cheering, signing songs like they had this game won. That right there lit a flame inside my soul. I was like `Man, I can't let this happen.' So I started to loosen up, have fun - the second half we came out, did what we had to do

@home B-BALL WIN!!!
Miami took on Nova Southeastern last night at the BUC. Scoring over 100 points, the Canes destroyed the outmatched team. Still, it was a game worth watching. This was the first I’d seen all year and it was interesting to note how differently the team operates (without McClinton of course). The cool things is though that there appears to be much more of a team dynamic this year. Real ball...

How convenient would it be to have a homepage that worked for you? An all-in-one type deal with built-in news feeds, favorite links, a search engine, and email? A number of different sites and toolbars claim to do so by integrating these most important internet pages and apps together into one “homebase” site, but most of these are rubbish. Even popular exceptions like the customizable...

The U is Back?!
Reporter: Is Miami football back?
Randy Shannon: We are going in the direction we need to be headed. Our athletic department and trainers give us the full support on where we need to be, but we are not where we want to be. You know this is not the 13th or 14th game of the season so that’s why you can’t say Miami is back. After the 14th game of the season, then you make the decision on where we are and where we need to be.

MMA at the BUC!
Sitting through four despicable quarters of Hurricane defeat is bound to leave you feeling pretty angry. So angry maybe that if given the opportunity, you might just act on your underlying urge to sock a VT fan right in his stupid Hokie face. Unfortunately for me, the VT faithful are rare in south Florida. Fortunately however, I had purchased a ticket for Saturday night to Bad Blood II: Battle of...
