"I walked away from coaching, because I had to. I'm back because I have to"--Dick Vermeil
This phrase
sums up why we here at Canes Rising felt why we had to restart the blog. As most
Hurricane fans know, it's almost impossible to find objective, rational
coverage of the 'Canes. For far too long, 'Cane
fans have been forced to listen to pseudo journalists who have little,
to no actual insight. For far too long, Canes fans have been forced to
get their Miami news from those who harbor resentment towards the
program, and as a result, cannot be objective.
For far too long, we've all had to watch as those who are supposed to
be supporting The U, have used their access to unfairly bury the
University.
We here at
Canes Rising will report on the Canes without fear or favor. We here at
Canes Rising will not be afraid to criticize, but we will not criticize
without reason. We here at Canes Rising
will stay out of recruiting news, it's not ethical to allow street
agents and recruits to set the agenda, while the University is forced to
sit on the sidelines.. We here at Canes Rising will not let the
tyranny of the mob dictate our opinions, or coverage.
Canes Rising
is for the Miami fan who loves the University of Miami, and not just the
football program. We will talk about Coach L, Coach Meier, and Coach
Morris. We will not be "Just about football".
This is a great time to be a Cane, and we will be there to chronicle
every moment. From the first day of fall camp, all the way to the final
out of the College World Series, we will be there to discuss
everything. Canes Rising will have interviews with
important figures in the athletic department, so the Miami fan can for
the first time understand what goes on behind the scenes. We want the
Miami fan to be educated on the whys and hows of the Athletic
Department.
Canes Rising
isn't solely about breaking news. We will have a ton of history, and
retrospectives. The U has a great tradition of excellence, it's about
time someone blogged about it.
We're currently updating the blog, so please bear with us. There will be some design changes, so don't be shocked.
We're always looking for comments and suggestions. If you would like
to add something, or if you would like to join
the Canes Rising family, please contact us using the information in the
"Contact Us" tab.
Thanks once again for choosing Canes Rising as your source for everything Miami. Go 'Canes!
