* You Are Here
Okay so I admit that I'm being a little dramatic, but after traveling to Dolphin Stadium on Saturday for the UM vs FSU game, this is what it feels like to a lot of Cane fans (myself included). I was there, I saw the look in the fans eyes as the realization that the comeback of a lifetime was not going to be completed and the Canes were going to 2-3 on the year. This fan base is starving for a big win over a RELEVANT team, because let's be honest, we really haven't had a huge win since beating VT in Blacksburg 3 years ago!! This fan base is beyond impatient, they are completely devastated right now!! The hope is almost non existent and the general consensus is that the sky is falling and the Canes are falling into oblivion!! Not so fast my friend!! Lets pull it together here Cane Nation!! Lets put it in perspective:Game 1- We beat up on Charleston Southern!! No surprises here!!
Game 2- We played a hell of a game vs UF and don't forget it was 9-3 at the start of the 4th quarter. Ultimately we ran out of gas and DEPTH!
Game 3- We beat up on Texas A&M until the fourth qtr, where we decided to let off the gas a little!! Great win; however lets face facts the Aggies aren't exactly a good team this season!
Game 4- We led the entire game, but the secondary fell apart in the closing minutes, causting us the lead. We drove the entire length of the field in less than a minute, but came up a fingertip short of the win.
Game 5- We came out and looked horrible in the 1st half. In the second half we made a ferocious come back that was ruined by a TD run on 3rd and a mile for FSU late.
Bottom line, we could have won every game and we can still win every game remaining!! Will we?? I doubt it, but it is not that bad in Miami!! Be patient and let this team go through it's growing pains!! Most of our starters are 18 and 19 year old kids, fresh out of high school!! We are going to get where we want to go, but it's going to be an ugly and at times frustrating road back to the top. I hate seeing Hurricanes fans so down, we are going to whether the storm and get back on top, it just won't be this week!! For now we need to take one game at a time and work towards becoming bowl eligible. Forget the ACC Championship, forget the National Championship and focus on a Champs Sports Bowl, Car Care Bowl or God forbid an Emerald Nuts or "Smurf" Bowl invitation. Cane fans, stop being delusional, this is a rebuliding year!! GO CANES!!! KEEP LAYING THAT FOUNDATION!!
