First six games of the season, no GamePlan necessary. Checking the cable box right now, I’m seeing a slew of empty channels in the 600s region and a lot of space for Miami/Duke to be picked up. Instead, starting at a laptop screen and ‘enjoying’ this match up via GameCast – which looks like a fancier version of Nintendo’s 10-Yard Fight.
Current score – Miami 10, Duke 0 midway through the second quarter. We’ll see how this one plays out, but I’m already baffled at the Canes inability to rattle ol’ Thaddeus Lewis. Dude is 8 of 10 for 110 yards as I type. Kyle Wright is 8 of 9 for 67 yards and 1 TD, to Kayne Farquharson – the JUCO transfer who’s been missing the first few game of 2007.
Lots of ball left to be played. Didn’t get my bet in for Miami -24. Curious to see how it plays out. You have to believe Duke is going to get something, with Lewis’ play thus far as well as Miami’s recent inability to ‘finish’ games. Seeing what I’ve see thus far, I’ll say 34-7 Canes.
Hopefully The U can pour it on a little more than that, though. Lest not forget this lesser squad pushed ’em to the wire last year, 20-15 with a Willie Cooper game-saving interception on the final play. I heard a lot of talk about playing a solid game in regards to last year’s close one. Thus far, I’m not seeing it. Shut down, Lewis guys. This is a one-dimensional team with -18 rushing yards on the day.

Leon owns Kyle. These are the games Kyle should pad his numbers, but the exact opposite occurs. I'm completely speechless by this kid's performance. I can't even blame this on former coaches that didn't lend to his development. He's consistently inconsistent!!
I'm with you 305, I shelled out the dough for the ESPN gameplan and ended up listening to the game on WQAM's internet site. I guess it's better than nothin, but I sure am glad I wasted the cash for the gameplan. In case anybody doesn't know you can go to this website and listen to the games for free: http://www.WQAM.com
It doesn't get much worse than this weekend: The Canes barely pulled off the win over Duke(Thad is no joke), The Noles beat Bama and USF cracked the top 10 while broadcasters praised them as the #2 team in Florida. The only saving grace is tha the Gators bit the bullet along with half of the top 10.
off game topic but - tragedy @ Memphis as a player was shot and killed....Not to take anything away from this unfortunate event, but if it had been at "THE U", it'd be another issue of Canes Run Amuck (sp)...
Gotta just love the media no doubt...
That's why I just buy the games as needed. I usually spend $20-$40/year. Usually a 1 day pass is $20, or at least it used to be that much. That thing is such a bait and switch concept it is ridiculous.
GO CANES!!
