I'm still in shock. After a horrid start to the ACC season the University of Miami basketball team is back in the NCAA tourney. My only expectation is that they win one. Just beat St. Mary's and chalk up the learning experience. If you win more great! I'll love every second. Personally, I sometimes have a tough time watching UM B-Ball. During my time at UM I had a great affinity towards the team. We went to a bunch of games and occasionally played some pick-up with some of the guys (and gals) on the team. When Coach Clark left I was disappointed but when Michael Jordan knocks on your door you answer it. Then came Perry Clark and destroyed everything that Coach Clark built. Here's my Perry Clark story. I saw Perry Clark in a Barnes and Noble one day in the Gables. I soooo wanted to tell him that I appreciated the way he destroyed a team that I loved. But of course I didn't have enough guts to do it so I just left. When the Perry Clark experiment was over Frank Haith came in picked up the pieces and began to build. He's built a tough little team and hopefully they can make some noise this weekend. Good luck guys make the U proud.
