Just once I want to see Miami live up to some preseason hype. Give me a good game, with good decision-making, big plays, and solid W!
Go Canes!
Saturday, August 31, 2024
First full Saturday of the 2024 college football season is underway. Discuss!
Fair question. Maybe we stay here and see where most of the conversation takes place during the season.
Check out [email protected]
With football season coming up, I’m hoping we can have some good discussion about the Jets - whether that be here or [email protected] or somewhere else. I think we should pick just one community to focus our chat.
For now, let’s try to to use [email protected].
The Miami football program was named one of 10 teams generating off-season buzz by Carter Bahns of 247Sports.
Baron ranked fifth in the SEC among edge rushers in 2023 with 41 pressures and a pressure rate of 17 percent.

Love the pickup for the Mets.
Over at [email protected], I’m noticing some posts not going through.
I posted this one from lemmy.world, and it’s not appearing from fanaticus.social or lemmy.ca accounts:

EDIT: I also noticed this comment thread isn’t showing up on .world.
And I commented on this post from .world to see if that’d come through, but it’s not looking like it did.
Not sure if it’s a .19 issue or something else, but I’m noticing federation issues between fanaticus and lemmy.world again.
Miami Hurricanes football and Mario Cristobal just landed ELITE Transfer Portal QB from Washington State in Cam Ward. Can Ward lead the Canes to. ACC title a...
Checking in midway through the second quarter: it’s not good.
After all of the signing day excitement, it’s back to reality with the Miami Hurricanes. Abysmal start against Rutgers.
Thanks! Glad Miami got a much-needed win. Sorry for my lack of conversation during the game. I spent way too long trying to get my 2 year old to go to sleep, and I ended up passing out in the process.
There’s a little more activity over at [email protected] if you want to join in over there until this one picks up. The downside of the Fediverse is there a lot of overlapping communities, and the limited number of users are spread out. Hopefully that corrects over time.
I had to miss the game, but yeah, not sure why they went for two.
I’m happy with the win. Definitely things to work on though going forward. Go Canes!
I guess one way to look at it is Miami can’t lose tonight.
The Canes play the RedHawks tonight at 7pm!
I don’t know if we have a bot that will make a formal GameDay thread. Assuming we don’t, use this one for pregame, live, and postgame discussion!
I’m hoping to see some immediate improvement from last year’s 5-7 squad. There is no reason the Hurricanes shouldn’t win this one by at least 2 or 3 scores.
Go Canes!

From Heisman.com:
> Testaverde won Miami’s first Heisman Trophy while leading the Hurricanes to an undefeated regular season in 1986.
>Born in Brooklyn, New York, Testaverde went to school at Sewanhaka High in Floral Park on Long Island, and graduated in 1981. He then went to Fork Union Military Academy in Fork Union, Virg., for a post-graduate year of college preparatory work (1995 Heisman winner Eddie George also attended Fork Union) before signing with Miami in 1982.
>The quarterback depth his freshman year was remarkable and included Jim Kelly, Bernie Kosar and [former] Georgia [and Miami] head coach Mark Richt.
>Testaverde threw for 79 yards in limited action as a 1982 true freshman and then redshirted in 1983 when Miami won the national title. He served as a backup to Kosar in 1984 before taking over the starting job as junior in 1985. Testaverde threw for 3,238 yards and 21 touchdowns that season and led Miami to a 10-2 record and a No. 9 final ranking.
>His senior year was a magical one. Testaverde threw for 2,557 yards and 26 touchdowns (while also adding four rushing scores) as Miami finished the regular season 11-0 and ranked No. 1 in the country. Testaverde won the Heisman in a landslide over Temple’s Paul Palmer.
>A loss to Penn State in the Fiesta Bowl cost the Hurricanes another national title, but it didn’t dim Testaverde’s star.
>Tampa Bay selected Testaverde as the first overall pick of the 1987 NFL Draft. He finished his pro career with 46,233 yards passing and 275 touchdowns, both among the top eight on the NFL career charts at the time of his retirement. He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 2013.
The Miami Hurricanes take on the Miami RedHawks in 17 days, on Sept. 1, 2023 @ 7pm
I had to edit the last two posts. Seems that trying to do these posts while also getting a 2 year old and a 2 month old ready for the day, I forgot how to count. I think I got things corrected now.
Free-agent RB Dalvin Cook is planning to sign a one-year deal worth up to $8.6 million with the New York Jets, per source.
And, per @EliasSports, the Jets are the first team in NFL history to add a QB and RB in the same offseason after both reached the Pro Bowl in 4 of the previous 5 seasons.
