It was the first-ever win over a Top 10 team for the program. After dropping the first set 25-18, the Canes won the next three sets by the scores of 25-17, 25-22 and 25-18. Members of the record crowd of 1,129 stormed the court to congratulate the Hurricanes on the historic win.

Miami Women Announce ACC Schedule For the first time in Atlantic Coast Conference history, the league schedule will consist of 18 games. Entering her eighth season at Miami, head coach Katie Meier and her squad will play two games apiece against NC State, Virginia, Duke, Florida State, Clemson, Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech during the season. The Canes will play only once against Maryland, Wake Forest, North Carolina and Boston College. “As always, the ACC presents many challenges,” Meier said. “This is why players come to Miami. To play in big-time games and there are plenty of them this season.” Maryland and Duke each advanced to the Elite Eight in last season’s NCAA tournament, while Georgia Tech fell to eventual national champion Baylor in the Sweet 16. NC State, Virginia and Wake Forest all won at least one WNIT contest, giving Miami a total of 10 games against conference rivals that had at least one postseason win a season ago. The Canes home conference schedule includes NC State (Dec. 20), Clemson (Jan. 3), Virginia (Jan. 6), Georgia Tech (Jan. 17), North Carolina (Jan. 27), Virginia Tech (Feb. 3), Florida State (Feb. 10), Boston College (Feb. 17) and Duke (Feb. 28). “Along with welcoming Tennessee and Penn State, I believe we have one of the most entertaining schedules in the nation,” Meier added. “I cannot wait to see our fans rocking the BankUnited Center as we take on these high-level opponents.” For season ticket information, call 305-284-2263.

Golden Named CBS Sports ACC Coach of the Week For his team’s 41-32 victory over Boston College at Alumni Stadium, Al Golden has been named CBSSports.com’s Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Week. The Hurricanes, who found themselves trailing the Eagles 14-0 midway through the first, opened up a 41-9 scoring run with a one-yard touchdown plunge from sophomore running back Eduardo Clements. After an interception of Boston College quarterback Chase Rettig was returned for a touchdown by sophomore linebacker Denzel Perryman, ACC Rookie of the Week Duke Johnson sparked the Hurricanes with scoring runs of 54 and 56 yards in the game’s middle stages. Freshman wide receiver Malcolm Lewis capped the Hurricanes’ scoring efforts with an 18-yard touchdown grab from Stephen Morris with less than 10 minutes to play in the fourth quarter. The 41 points scored by the Hurricanes against Boston College were the most by a Miami team against an FBS school in a season-opener since scoring 48 against Louisiana Tech in 2003. To read the complete write-up from CBSSports.com, click HERE. The Hurricanes return to action Saturday with a non-conference showdown against No. 21 Kansas State (12 p.m. ET, FX). Season and single-game tickets for the 2012 football season are available online, by phone at 1-800-GO-CANES (1-305-284-2263) or in-person at the Miami Athletics Ticket Office, which is now located on the bottom level of BankUnited Center.

Behind Enemy Lines – Week One: Boston Behind Enemy Lines is a weekly feature on HurricaneSports.com, highlighting the passion of Miami fans in opposing team territory. And if you’re reading this from Manhattan, Kan., give us a shout at @HurricaneSports – we want to hear from you. Chris Nyland | Needham, Massachusetts How did you become a Hurricanes fan? I always admired the U as a kid growing up, but I truly started bleeding orange and green when I decided to come to Coral Gables to attend graduate school in the Sport Administration program. Once I stepped on campus, I realized within minutes how special of a place The U is. Do you find it difficult supporting Miami all the way from Boston? No matter where I go, I find that there’s always haters who like to badmouth the program and the school. But I always chalk their hatred up to the fact that they are either jealous or just “don’t understand”. Is there a bar or watch parties that you attend for Hurricanes games? I haven’t attended any yet, but I know the Boston chapter of the Alumni Association puts on great events and I am looking forward to going to some this year. Have you found any other Hurricanes fans in Chestnut Hill? I just started becoming active in the Boston chapter of the Alumni Association and have met a lot of great Hurricane fans and alumni that live in the Boston area. I am looking forward to seeing a lot of them out in full force on Saturday as we dismantle BC and get the season off to a great start! How do you support the Hurricanes – Any apartment decorations? Favorite piece of Canes gear? I put my Miami flag up next to the TV and I wear my orange Devin Hester #4 jersey every single week when I watch games. Unfortunately, living so far away I have to watch most games on TV. I can’t wait for this Saturday to come so I can watch my team right in my backyard! Any favorite memories or stories from your time as a Hurricanes fan? My first ever Miami football home game in 2004 at the Orange Bowl: Canes vs. FSU. The game was delayed four days because of a hurricane that came through town. I was absolutely blown away at the spirit and energy of the crowd. The game went into overtime, and Chris Rix the FSU QB fumbled the ball on the first series of OT before Frank Gore ran the ball in for the win 16-10.

Behind Enemy Lines – Week Two: Kansas Asbury Broadnax IV | Kansas City, Kansas How did you become a Hurricanes fan? I’m from Merritt Island, Fla. originally. I went to the same high school, and lived in the same neighborhood, as guys like Bubba McDowell, Hurlie Brown, Darryl Spencer, and Derrick Ham. Bubba was well respected in our town, and as a kid, I wanted to follow his path. Hurlie & Darryl would come back and speak to us about what it took to play on the next level, and their actions reinforced that “Cane Family” mentality. Do you find it difficult supporting Miami all the way from Kansas? I live in Kansas City, so no one can really relate to the passion I have for my Canes. But, I still travel to at least three or four games per year. This year I’m attending the Kansas State, Notre Dame, Florida State, and Virginia games. Are there watch parties that you attend for Hurricanes games? I turned our 720-square foot basement into my very own “Hurri-Cave.” If I’m not at the game in person, I’m in the HurriCave... at my own bar. Have you found any other Hurricanes fans in Kansas? My friend Jeremy Bolinger is the one of the only Hurricanes I know from Kansas at the moment. We’re both on the same message boards, so we talk pretty often. How do you support the Hurricanes – Any apartment decorations? Favorite piece of Canes gear? Our basement is now known as the “The Hurri-Cave.” We’ll have anywhere from eight to ten fans gathering in it this weekend. I have tons of Hurricanes gear - and I wear it everyday. Fearless, proud, loyal, rabid Cane. Any favorite memories or stories from your time as a Hurricanes fan? Too many to name, but I’ll rattle off a few: 1) Wearing Miami Hurricane gear under my BDU’s in the Army. The games were tape delayed when we were in Germany, and I used to try and avoid any news releases about the outcome so I could watch it on my terms. I loved arguing with Nebraska fans about how great Miami was, and how elite Florida talent was in relation to the rest of the country. 2) I got out of the Army in 1999. I was finally able to see Hurricane games in person again. My first live action was Miami vs. FSU in 2000. Unbelievable. 3) Mo Sikes’ interception return for a TD vs UF. I was sitting in the middle of their student section, and purchased the ticket for $160. They were going nuts right before that... no one sat down the entire time. You could hear nothing but Canes roaring when Sikes crossed the endzone and politely placed the ball on the field. Priceless. 4) Sean Taylor vs FSU - every game. The Hurri-Cave

Hurricane Club Surpasses 2011 Membership Mark The Hurricane Club has surpassed last year’s membership of 5,331 members and is nearing its goal of 5,500 members for 2012. To date, more than 5,300 members representing 48 states and four different countries are proud members of the Hurricane Club - but we still need your help to reach 5,500 members for 2012! The Hurricane Club - which helps to increase scholarship-funding for studentathletes, improve facilities and provide operation funding for more than 400+ student-athletes across 17 varsity sports - relies on the generosity of Hurricanes fans, alums and former student-athletes to continue a high caliber of excellence in the classroom and in competition. No one knows that better than Jesse Marks, now in his third year as Assistant Athletics Director for Development with the Hurricanes. Marks, a two-time UM grad who began his professional career with the Hurricane Club, knows there are Canes fans in South Florida, across the U.S. and even around the world who “Stand By The U.” “It’s a testament to the fans, families, alumni, the current, former and future Hurricanes, all wanting to uphold the Miami legacy,” Marks said. “No matter if that means a $40 or $40,000 donation, our fans want to support our program and student-athletes.” That’s why the Hurricane Club, founded in 1972, has implemented recent initiatives like the “40-for-40” campaign. In celebration of the organization’s 40th anniversary, fans can now join for as little as $40. Marks said the Hurricane Club has its sights on much bigger targets. Eventually, the Hurricane Club would like to see a membership of 7,500 strong by 2015. Other goals for 2012 included raising $10.1 million in scholarship support (a $500,000 increase from 2010) and 40 percent member participation in the 40-for-40 campaign. “Our fans want to feel connected to the University of Miami and there is no better way to do that then philanthropically,” Marks added.

We hope this three-year partnership is just the start of a long tradition.” WSUA 1260 AM, the leader in Spanish language News/Talk/Sports programming in South Florida, will become the Spanish language flagship station of the Miami Hurricanes and will broadcast football games for the 2012, 2013 and 2014 seasons.

Partnerships like this, together with our daily top quality programming, are what have made our station lead the offering in Spanish language talk radio in our community.” For a complete list of 2012 Miami Hurricane Radio Network affiliates, click here.

With our success comes a responsibility and commitment to conduct our business within the bounds of all NCAA regulations. You, as a “representative of athletics interests� are equally responsible for that commitment. The NCAA has strictly limited the role that you, as a Hurricane fan, may take with regard to prospects and student-athletes. I invite you to take a look at this interesting and informative pamphlet highlighting some of the NCAA rules, and should you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact our Compliance Office at 305-284-2692. Thanks for your continued support and GO CANES!

UM Sports Hall of Fame
Did you know ... The University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame was the brainchild of a group of eight judges of the Circuit Court of Dade County, Fla., who were also UM alumni. Completed in 1989 as part of the extensive expansion of UM athletic facilities under the direction of former athletic director Sam Jankovich, the building is one of an elite handful of dedicated Hall of Fame structures gracing our nation’s college campuses. The UM Sports Hall of Fame places on record forever the names and achievements of the men and women who have brought national and international acclaim to their university and who have gone on to bring further credit to their school, their communities and themselves by the manner in which they have assumed their responsibilities as citizens. Athletes are not eligible until 10 years after their final year of competition. The Hall has inducted only 267 of the thousands of former student-athletes and coaches who have worn the orange, green and white. Each year, an induction banquet is held in the spring to honor those chosen to join this unique and special fraternity. The Tom Kearns Hall of Fame Building opened in 1989 and displays artifacts that range from the football from the first game in school history in 1926 to Gino Toretta’s Heisman Trophy to the Seminole War Canoe, a 10 foot long canoe dug from a 250 year old cypress tree to Ron Fraser’s “Lucky Shoes”, worn for both the 1982 and 1985 National Championship games, along with championship trophies, among them baseball, women’s golf, and the crystal football trophy won by the 2001 National Champions. The “Hall of Honor” lists the All Americans from each sports, and those athletes selected to play professional sports, including all football and baseball draft picks.

“The aim of the UM Sports Hall of Fame is to form, establish and maintain a permanent Hall of Fame for former University of Miami athletes who are deserving of admission by virtue of their outstanding achievements and contributions to the University... To provide and maintain a permanent home for the Hall of Fame and aid the University of Miami in its athletic program, including the construction and maintenance of a permanent fieldhouse.” The Founding Judges, April 13, 1966 HurricaneSports.com • 30 • @HurricaneSports
University of Miami Traditions
Each magazine the UM Sports Hall of Fame highlight some of Miami’s famous traditions
The U In 1973, UM’s Athletic Federation, the fund raising arm of the athletic department now known as the Hurricane Club, commissioned a local public relations expert to develop a distinctive logo. The University had gone several years with a variety of helmet and uniform changes and the Federation noted that a number of major colleges have the initials UM. Miami designer Bill Bodenhamer suggested the “U” idea, which lent itself to slogans like “U gotta believe” and “U is great”. Until the early 1990’s, each sport had their own unique logo with a silhouette of a player in the middle of The U... football had a receiver catching a ball, baseball had a batter swinging, diving had a diver diving into The U, etc. The current version of The U was to standardize the look and make it even more recognizable. Recently, BleacherReport.com voted Miami’s helmet the No. 1 helmet logo in College Football.
Touchdown Tommy The tradition of shooting off a celebratory cannon shot after Hurricanes scores began during the 1934 season ! The original cannon was named “Lil’ Joe”, but later renamed “Touchdown Tommy” and has been manned by members of the Sigma Chi Fraternity since its inception. The first Touchdown Tommy, after 70 years of service, was retired after the 2003 season and is proudly displayed in the UM Sports Hall of Fame.
The University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame is a non-profit, 501c3 corporation whose sole purpose is to recognize those student-athletes, coaches and administrators who have excelled at their sports and brought acclaim to the university through their accomplishments and championships. All tax-deductible donations help showcase their achievements for Hurricanes fans to enjoy for generations to come. UM Sports Hall of Fame | 5821 San Amaro Drive | Coral Gables, FL 33146
