Miami- July 20th, 2011
The infernal NFL lockout is poised to finally end this week, just in time for training camps to begin. College teams prepare to also hit the field for preseason practice. And down here, that puts in play something bigger than just those coming seasons.
The Heat failing to begin its presumed NBA dynasty has left a door ajar for the Miami Hurricanes.
This has been an awful, chaotic 2011 for controversy-marred college football. Southern California stripped of its 2004 BCS title and Georgia Tech of its 2009 Atlantic Coast Conference crown. Jim Tressel toppled by Ohio State’s scandal. Butch Davis and North Carolina under fire. Allegations chasing Auburn’s Cam Newton, the Fiesta Bowl nearly defrocked and Oregon shadowed by Willie Lyle’s “scouting services.” Scandal most anywhere you look.
At Miami, though, the dark cloud elsewhere across the sport feels more like a fresh breeze and rays of sun brought with Al Golden’s hiring.
UM football feels rejuvenated. Golden has had speaking engagements in a dozen cities, reigniting the fan base. Recruiting has been strong. Alumni are back on board. A marketing push expands north. And Golden has it right in preaching that penalties and turnovers sabotaged Miami last season and that those breaches of fundamentals can’t continue.
