I was hoping you hadn't saved that last one. I don't know who that guy is
and felt like I was reading a quote from Houstons coach. I shuddered when
I saw that and was certain it was a person that hated Miami and wanted to
make the woof gods crap all over them.

I agree with you that I saw a lot of fans from other schools posting
Cane woofing but that was my point - I didn't feel that Miami fans had
posted that much. 

Anyway as I said before Alabama put an old-fashioned whipping on the Canes
and I congratulate them . There should be no 'M' in the MNC this year.

I don't plan on changing my personality next year so you'll probably
have to keep that kill file active. Sorry about that 'cause I do enjoy
reading your postings even if you do try to bash the Canes every chance you 
get.

Best wishes for the New Year,
