Before we dive in this week I just wanted to say a thank you to the homies here that reached out as we have been dealing with the fallout from Helene. The Carolinas took a beating and I know many here are from Florida and this is a daily occurrence for yall

I know we talk **** and bust balls here but it’s still just a game and I hope everyone here gets to watch the game in peace with their families and friends and if you’re traveling to Cali for the game I hope you are safe…and

And…

The ****…

Wait…

JUST PLAYING CAL THIS WEEK IS TURNING ME SOFT. FUCCCCKKKKKKK THISSSSSSSS

Ahhhhhhhhhhh….thats more like it

Let’s try this **** again….

Mother****ers and ****ettes (yes California they are two different things) load another set of 45s on the bar, toss a splash of DMAA in your protein shakes, and identify your gender to the nearest stripper because it’s ****** BENCH DAY

Last week we avoided absolute disaster by surviving about 200 different factors that normally derail a Miami season….most notably the referees

Those minutes felt like hours. The trauma was inevitable. Somehow they called it a TD on the field and we all knew what was coming

Last time my ******** was that puckered up was ironically at a California strip club when I noticed the baseball sized Adams Apple below her chin

But then it happened

We got the right call. Finally.

Now a good sized part of our fanbase has lamented how poorly we played that game

That’s fine

What I took from it was this really is our season of destiny

Florida sucks. FSU sucks. Notre Dame lost to Northern Illinois. The refs are doing the right things…

This is it Canes fans. It’s all there in front of us.

This is a new year

Next stop on our playoff push is a newcomer to the ACC: Cal. Cal in the ACC…k

(Fortunately for all my TRT abusers there’s no shortage of needles this week just check the sidewalk around the stadium)

Anyway. Here’s some fun facts about Cal:

But here’s some stuff to know:

State Slogan: “We’ve got more genders than Baskin Robbins has flavors”

State Landmarks: The Hollywood Sign, the Redwood Forest, and the largest pile of human ***** on a sidewalk in the world

State Bird: The governor because he identifies as a woodpecker

State Flag: well….you know

State Tree: the one with the hippy hugging it

Even though this is a road game for our beloved Hurricanes, I expect the crowd to be about as hostile as the Border Patrol when they find out the people will be voting Democrat

The Cal crowd will feature more trannies than Auto Trader

Here’s why we stroll into Cali and hit them harder than HIV in the 80s:

Cam: We can over analyze our season all day (speaking of overanalyze….california amirite?) but much like a 15 year old that just got high speed internet, everything revolves around his right arm. In his worst performance as a Hurricane all he did was throw for 4 TDs, 400+ yards, and engineer the game winning drive. He is him.

Barrow: Right now he is the linchpin of our DT spot. We pretty much knew this coming into the season but unlike those tofu and kale diet *****, Barrow has been super solid. He’s gonna be as active in the A gap as John Holmes before he lost all that weight

Malik/Popo: I lumped them together because it’s California and that’s what they do. We know the starters but we’ve been waiting for young guys to emerge and these two are the next ones. Wait till Cal finds out his nickname is Popo…they will definitely be running in fear from him

Arroyo: He is everything he has been billed up to be. He’s more of a wide receiver than a tight end…and honestly…there’s so many Cali jokes in that sentence I’ll let yall go ahead. But seriously Cali hates a tight end so I expect him to feast. Wow I’m whoozy


Verdict: People have claimed that the trip out west in gonna be a problem. That’s not what I’m personally worried about. It’s the air quality and elevation we need to adapt to

Once Cam gets acclimated…we roll

Good guys 31
Bad guys 17

Here is the truth. Cal leads the country in picks. Cam has struggled with turnovers with them in the past. Their offense is predicated on running the ball. If we limit TOs and get an early lead by scoring TDs in the redzone, we will win and cover. If we look anything like we did against VT we will have to pull it out of our *** again. I think Bain makes a huge impact on the freshness of others. We need to tackle and not give up chunk plays because we didn’t get guys down. We need much better games from Kiko, Wes, and the entire back 7. We need to help Bell in pass pro. I have us winning 38-21

What's the over/under on OL being lifted off the ground by Bain in this game?

What's the over/under on OL being pushed into the QB by Bain in this game?
I still gotta wait until I see him and Rivers back in the mix before I can go there. I fell for it again last week
 
Prediction:

Cristobal replaces Gatorade with Cafe Cubano

Players:
Excited No Way GIF by MLB


Ward's stat line after downing 3 coladas:

85 for 96, 1035 yards passing, 350 yards running, 11 total TDs. He fumbles once and it looks like Cal recovers, but Ward bites the Cal defender's hand and gets the ball back, then sprints 58 yards to the end zone while Benny Hill music plays over the stadium speakers.
