What's up everybody? Welcome back to Through the Smoke, a Miami Hurricanes podcast here on the 24-7 Sports Network.

I'm Andrew Ivins. That is David Lake. We are coming to you on a Friday morning, depending on you're listening to this.

Maybe it's Saturday, maybe it's Sunday. But spring football is right around the corner for the hurricanes.

They're going to open it up on March 2nd, Monday morning.

So if you're listening to it then, this is a good preview.

If you're listening to it on Friday or Saturday or Sunday, it's also a good preview.

Before we get into year two of the Manny Diaz era, or I should say uh 2.0 for manny david kind of how are you

how you doing man doing well excited for the spring they pushed it back on us but i think it makes

sense they were originally going to start it on february 29th which the Saturday. And I think, you know, with the

inability to host recruits that day, because February is pretty much a dead period, I think it

makes sense to just push it back to Monday and get things rolling in March. You agree? Yeah, I mean,

it makes sense. I guess there's been what some very Jackson of the

Miami Harold reported that Miami's probably going to play their spring game on April

11th that'll be at Trazpals Stadium as Hard Rock Stadium has something going on that day so

I think it makes sense in the sense that Miami's a week ahead of everyone else.

I think Florida State, their spring games are the weekend of April 18th.

So I'm just excited it's here.

The debt period was brutal.

And I'm ready to just see what this team's all about.

There's definitely, in my mind, it is a spring in which there are a ton of interesting

storylines, more so than a usual spring, in my opinion.

And we will get into that here in a minute.
