Hurricanes Cancel Football Practice

March 31, 2000

CORAL GABLES, FL – The University of Miami football practice that was scheduled for Friday, March 31 has been cancelled.

Head football coach Butch Davis cited minor injuries and the flu bug, that has recently hit the team, as reasons for the cancellation.

“Rather than using one of our 15 days with about 10 guys out, we decided that the best thing to do would be to save this practice,” said Davis.

The Hurricanes will resume practice on Tuesday, April 4 at 3:00 p.m. at the Greentree Practice Facility on the Coral Gables Campus.

Spring Practice will conclude with CanesFest and the annual Spring Game at the Orange Bowl on Saturday, April 8. This year’s CanesFest will feature the unveiling of the Hurricanes new uniforms, logos and designs for the 2000 season. Events for CanesFest will include season-ticket select-a-seat, “Ask the Coach” session, Fun Zone interactive area and an autograph session following the game with Hurricane players and coaches.
