And I don't believe Grobe has a vote.

And even if it was Grobe's vote-DUH!! I want our coach to have confidence in our team and to show it!

I can't remember for sure the last time the Canes were #1 in a preseason poll(1992,maybe?).It seems in the past ,anytime we were ranked # 1 in the preseason,we usaully came up a litle short(might have been preseason#1 in 86,and 90,and i'm pretty sure miami was ranked #1 in 88 and 92).86 and 92 the Canes lost in the national title game,90 lost to byu in the 1st game of the season and also to Notre Dame later in the year,and in 88 they lost to Notre Dame by 1 which kept them from another national title shot.History is against the Canes this year. i just hope and pray that sports illustrated does not rank Miami#1 and put them on the cover. <img border="0" alt="[laugh]" title="" src="graemlins/laughing.gif" />

Too bad Spurrier isn't around or the ACC would be 9 for 9....

Watch out for Marshall and Byron Leftwich, he'll be a star this year as he was last year. And plus he has more experience and was really smart for staying in school

WHAT???!!! No Duke??!! As a Dukie fan, I am appalled! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="redface.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
