Miami Hurricanes Make a Statement.

In convincing fashion, The Miami Hurricanes throttled Virginia Tech 28-10 at Hard Rock Stadium.

The Miami Hurricanes needed to change the channel. For far too long the History channel was the proper network for such a once storied program. DVR memories and table talk.

Then it happened. Click. A present prime-time showdown with major Coastal Division implications on the line. The winner would essentially slingshot themselves into pole position for an ACC championship game appearance. By now you know the result. Miami won convincingly.

But to understand the enormity of the moment, understand it initially from the view of the stands. Hard Rock stadium was electric. There was a palpable pulse that was tachycardic, rhythmic and simultaneously erratic.

Miami fans came out in droves. Wrapped in a banner of black garb, Miami fantasticals provided something grossly contrary to the publicized national perception of no-shows. Miami fans provided a tangible and audible home field advantage.

The Miami Hurricanes are the most uniquely gifted nuance in all of College football. The Hurricanes are the neighborhood’s team. They are intrinsically and outwardly Miami.

Local area Optimist teams provide Junior football Adonises who one day have grown into young skillful men. Those select few who chose to stay and wear the U on their helmet do so with a connection to the community. They grew up here.
