This is hard to admit after only one week of the college football season.
Especially coming from a lifelong college football fan who grew up in this state when we had only one professional sports team.
Back in those days, college football was our pro sports. There was no NBA, no NHL, no Major League Baseball.
MIAMI GARDENS — The Hurricanes encouraged fans to pack Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday, and the message went out to recruits, as well.
Miami is hosting numerous high-profile recruits, including several members of its 2025 class for the game against Florida A&M.
Cornerback Jaboree Antoine and cornerback Chris Ewald Jr. announced their plans to attend the game, and several other commits — including running back Girard Pringle Jr., safety Hylton Stubbs and defensive back Bryce Fitzgerald — are expected to attend, according to 247Sports.
Another major target, LSU five-star cornerback commit DJ Pickett (who was in attendance for UM’s win over Florida last week), is expected to attend, according to 247Sports.
Other prominent uncommitted prospects were in attendance, too.
Shorthanded at wide receiver for Sunday’s season opener, the Miami Dolphins elevated Robbie Chosen from the practice squad to the game-day roster Saturday.
They also bypassed calling up a cornerback from the practice squad with their top player at the position, Jalen Ramsey, questionable with a hamstring injury. The decision not to elevate a cornerback could potentially bode well for Ramsey’s status against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Sunday’s 1 p.m.
It’s been an eventful two weeks in the ongoing saga of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration versus Floridians who love state parks.
DeSantis on Aug. 28 aimed to distance himself from controversial park plans and announced that the state Department of Environmental Protection was putting the effort, known as the “Great Outdoors Initiative,” on hold (for now).
Those plans included installing golf courses, 350-room hotels and pickleball courts in some state parks.
Since then, the state DEP whistleblower who leaked the plans has been fired by the department, and a lawyer representing golf legend Jack Nicklaus revealed that both Nicklaus and golfer Tiger Woods were included in the idea to put three golf courses in Jonathan Dickinson State Park in Martin County.
