After 14 consecutive years of having a Cane selected in the first round of the NFL Draft, the streak looks like it is going to come to a screeching halt this weekend.
For three consecutive baseball seasons, my friend Steve and I have had one singular goal directing almost every aspect of our lives: win the Hamburger Race, a promotion which usually takes place once a weekend.
As senior Jack McClinton’s final home free throw fell through the hoop for the Miami Hurricanes on Saturday afternoon, Coach Frank Haith called timeout and substituted Cyrus McGowan for McClinton.
Throughout the season, I argued that the dual-quarterback system worked for the ‘Canes. Neither was a complete player, and the combination usually worked to get the hot hand on the field at the end of the game. However, it is apparent that for the team to move forward a clear vision has to emerge. That means a clear starter.
This past weekend proved to be an eventful one on the recruiting trail for the Hurricanes. The two major, national high school all-star games were played on consecutive days; the Army All-American Bowl on Saturday and the Under Armor All-American Bowl on Sunday. As is tradition, both games featured players announcing their college choices to the nation by selecting their school’s hat from a table at different time during the games.
