It's hard to remember now, but what seems like eons ago, the University of Miami had the best (no questions asked) football program in the nation. In fact they had more alum selected to play in the NFL Pro Bowl this season than any other school. Seven former Miami players, including Andre Johnson, Reggie Wayne, Clinton Portis, Ray Lewis, Jon

Beason, Ed Reed and Jeff Feagles, will be heading to Honolulu.

As for the current crop of Canes, they'll be heading to the ~~Has Been~~ Emerald Bowl in San Francisco December 27 to play against Cal.
