Only 19 days remain till The U finally hits shelves! (Pre-order a double-disc copy via AllCanes or Amazon.) And 'Canes nation is so amped it's getting kinda dangerous. In an Allapattah sports bar, the Ibis is pumping out celebratory shotgun blasts. Public washrooms across the county are filled with red-faced Floridian football freaks shaving and painting their chests. And somewhere Vinny Testaverde is ironing his fatigues.

So, yeah, we know you're about ready to puke with excitement, but just hold it long enough to watch this week's deleted scene. From deep within the Rakontur vault comes a hot minute about the day Jimmy Johnson left for Dallas, taking quarterback Steve Walsh with him, and leaving the Miami Hurricanes football program in disarray. Again.
