These Hurricanes have class..........

Ever hear of the term Class Act?? Well if you haven't just take a look at the 2009 Miami Hurricanes football team. Last Saturday's victory over UCF 27 - 7 that was the final score however i watched that game and the Hurricanes had plenty of opportunites to score up more points a lot more..the final score could have been 40-7 even. Lets take a look at the FAMU victory where Miami steamed rolled the Rattlers 48-16 but really it could've have been 60-16 yet the Hurricanes took a conservative approach in the second half and benched their starters, replacing them with the second& third strings. Of'course, the game is out of reach by then but with all the BCS standing calculations and the importance of points per game counting towards how high a team will rank each week in and out, no one would blame Coach Shannon for running up the score or putting up huge numbers clearly able to..you could argue well they just didn't want to force any turnovers or injuries when not necessary but past Hurricanes teams would not care at all about that. The Miami Hurricanes had a rep of blowing away their opponents in the past scoring 60 points plus in routs, thats college football!! Even the NFL is taking the act of high scoring just look at the drubbling of Tennesse Titans, where the N.E Patriots put up 59 Points!!! With that being said iam i upset of this ?? In No way...iam actually proud that our team is starting a new era, of being a winning team with Class, of which many college or pro teams have seem to forsaken these days..not enough proof ?? UM beat then # 9 Oklahoma 21-20 i had the chance to watch that game Miami was driving down the throats of the Sooners with 3:00mins left with all the ability and option to score another TD and make it 34-21 yet they ran the ball a couple of times and with 1:00 min left to a knee...thats why iam proud to say these Hurricanes are a Class Act along with their whole staff.

  1. I totally agree with your post. The Canes had numerous of opportunities to run the score up, but it would be pointless and it could hurt the players at the end. I am glad you mention the Patriots scoring 59 point on the Titans which was very distasteful to the sport. By running up the score and keeping your starters in the game, you are risking the chance of a player getting hurt for the rest of the season. Coach Shannon realize that a win is a win and if he is going to run up the score it will not be with his elite starters. Football is such a physical game and when the players feels as though you are making a mockery out of them they will try to deliberatly hurt your franchise player like they did Tom Brady, but I guess Bill Belichick did not learn his lesson yet. I am proud of the U-Swag
