• The U is in First Place, Jim Kelly Still an Insufferable Douchebag

  Don’t look now but the Miami Hurricanes are in first place in the ACC Coastal Division. Couldn’t decide between watching the Canes getting their mojo back or 30 Rock last night? That’s what the "previous channel" button on the remote is for (or, for those of you still living in a world where high-def DVDs are the next big thing, Britney Spears is on top of the charts, and our presidents are white, DVRs are a nice thing to get your hands on too).

• Weekend Football: Any Given Friday Afternoon Post

  Every weekend the local professional and college level football player-type people assemble on the field to play their games. Every weekend we write things about it, because it is an easy Friday afternoon post. We also post something dumb holding a football. This week is no exception. Anyway, we are feeling good after the Canes win last night. Let's hope the good cheer continues.

• Weekend Football: The Big Rematch

  Ugh, it is football post time again. After the Canes' face plant last night, we're a bit down on the sport. Seriously they had it all before them - a return to national prominence and the ACC title and what do they do? Give up more rushing yards than they have since 1944! 1944! America was in WWII! We Re-elected FDR! Pippi Longstocking was written! The Calculate was invented! 1944! Wha-ha-ha-ha-hat ever, Canes. Cheer us up, Fins. We need it. New England Patriots @ Miami Dolphins, Sunday 1pm o

  Gunnery Sgt. Marcelo R. Velasco, 40, of Miami died in Iraq last week. He is the 4,202nd US Troop to be killed in this war. [Defense Link]Do these people have any sort of heart? Do they have any sort of sense of what's right for society beyond responding to their base level fears and ignorance? Plans are already underway to make challenges to preemptively ban domestic partnership benefits for same-sex couples in Florida cities that don't already have them.

• Weekend Football: The Doldrums

  Cold, hard reality set in last week for Miami's two most notable football squads. The Fins lost their rematch to the Pats, and the Canes saw their ACC title hopes evaporate. Hopefully they'll be able to put their disappointment behind them and not squander seasons that are, by last year's standards, pretty damn successful. Miami Dolphins @ St. Louis Rams, Sunday 1 p.m. on CBSThe Rams are a two-win team, but the Fins were upset earlier in the season by the then-winless Texans. Joey Porter and c

• Football Fans Too Poor to Get to Miami

  You know times are tough when crazed college football fans in places like cold-ass Blacksburg, Virginia; and Cincinnati, Ohio, can't scrounge up enough change to get to sunny Miami for a January 1 bowl game. But alas, that is the cold, hard truth of these tough economic times.More depressing recession-related news and what it means for our tourism-dependent economy after the jump.

• The Emerald Bowl Ain't That Exciting

  Your weekly football fix won't come until this weekend, but since Riptide will be quite quiet the rest of the week we'll be doing our trademarked very informative Football previews today!The Emerald Bowl: Miami Hurricanes vs California Golden Bears, Saturday Dec 27th 8pm on ESPNThe last time anyone really got excited about a UM bowl game was the team's string of appearances in the Peach Bowl back in '04 and '05. The second of which resulted in an embarrassing loss to LSU, the first of which

  Your Miami Dolphins did it! Some how! Some way! They took their division, are heading to the play offs, and made the greatest season to season turn around in NFL history. Not only that but to get their they beat the Patriots, who last year came ridiculously close to joining the '72 Dolphins in perfect season lore. Then this week we beat the Jets. The team that ditched Pennington for Brett Favre, a man whose broken many of Dan Marino's records. This was the weirdest season ever, but it feels so

• Gators Assistant Says Racism Has Stalled His Career

  Let's count the ways that Charles Barkley, as usual, is the wisest guy in the room. No, Riptide isn't applauding his DUI arrest a couple of days ago in Arizona. That was no good. We're talking about his outraged and much-argued assertion last month that his alma matter, Auburn, hired Iowa State coach Gene Chizik -- and his craptastic 5-19 record -- over Buffalo's Turner Gill, who has gone 8-5 at one of the nation's historically worst programs, because Chizik is white and Gill is black.Today, Flo

• Coker Eyeing Coaching Comeback

  Larry Coker got fired from his gig as University of Miami's football coach after a six-loss season, and left the school with a respectable winning percentage of .800 and a national championship. Shortly thereafter, he lost out on a coaching job at Rice and has held some analyst gig at ESPNU ever since.It seems he misses the on-field action and announced he applied to coach the University of Texas at San Antonio Roadrunners football program.The what? The team doesn't exist yet but is scheduled to

• Last Time Unemployment Was This High It Was A Pretty Good Year For Miami

  Unemployment in America has reached 8.5%, the highest it's been since 1983! Egads! Remember those horrible times of 1983 -- I don't, because I was not born -- but it actually seems that 1983 was a banner year for Miami. Maybe history will repeat itself. The Miami Hurricanes won their first NCAA Division 1-A football championship, kicking off their run as "team of the 80's." The Miami Dolphins meanwhile drafted a quarterback known as Dan Marino, and finished first in the AFC East, four games ahea

• Canes Barely Beat Wake Forest: Slightly Embarrassing but Entertaining

  Could you imagine if Wake Forest kicker Jimmy Newman actually made that 60-yard field goal at the end of the game? Yeah, it was nearly possible, but it could have happened. Or imagine if the Demon Deacons had gotten a little farther down field in their last drive and set Newman up for a more likely attempt. Imagine! We would have lost! And the Miami Hurricanes should not even be imagining losses to teams like Wake Forest! In fact, you didn't have to imagine losing to Wake Forest, becau
