08:23 AM ET 08.17 | Consider these the dog days of summer at Miami. Al Golden seemed stressed Thursday morning before his Miami Hurricanes took the field for practice. After nearly two weeks of a steady grind, his players had fallen into a fall-camp slump -- "the proverbial wall," Golden called it -- and the coach was not pleased. "They've got to fight through it," he said. "There's no light at the end of the tunnel right now. We've got a long way to go. ... This is the hardest part. This is where teams can get divided with that self-preservation mode. ... We want to thrive, unite and rise above it." With only two players donning first-team black jerseys Thursday -- punter Dalton Botts and defensive end Shayon Green -- Golden had little to praise."

What did he expect? Smooth sailing? You don't change a culture overnight.

Al, give up the Temple headset. This one little gesture will go a long way towards getting your Miami team's minds right.

I could lend you a few bucks, you know, take care of you, $10 for $30 back, just trying to help.

OK, I'll pay you back after I pay my tab at GR's.

Those were the days, eh? Now, you whippersnappers better wear your raincoats, because shots can't cure what's out there these days.
