Yesterday, on the eve of the opening of the season, the Miami Hurricanes football coach Randy Shannon prevented the usual resignation of his recovery program and offered the strongest support for the prospects of his team that we have heard.
"Kind of excited to see this football team going this season," he announced.
Stunned by such a scandalous display of feelings, we consulted with our Emotional Expression Converter Randy Shannon. It turns out that "a kind of excitement" falls somewhere between "Voltron Football Giddy Joy" and "Subject has ingested content Michael Irvin jacket pockets."
If you were not on board before it's time to punch your ticket for the train: Hurricanes have no intention of repeating the mistakes that kept them from last year's ACC championship game and beyond.
Since a lot of things we learned last season ... our first three games I think we were very, very focused as a football team last season, "said Shannon." Go and play Virginia Tech, which has kind of distance from where we needed to be at. I reminded the guys in that situation occurs, the more you'll stay focused on what lies ahead of you, do not look to the future, then you will be fine.
"We had an amazing practice this August. We put them in situations in which it was difficult to cope with, adverse situations in practice to make sure you focus on what we were trying to do that day."
The Hurricanes will have to focus, looking as they are one of the toughest schedules in college football. A little beyond the opener tonight against Florida A & M (er. .. the band is really good!) A hostile looms visit Ohio State, where the strikers are forced to eat corn and pre-season pollsters say no. 2 Buckeyes must fight for the national title.
Miami, they say, is worth a solid no. 13. But Shannon knows something that can not - unless the injuries, the team has worked years to ride can be as dangerous as any in the country.
