      COMMENDING THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI HURRICANES FOOTBALL TEAM

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent the Senate proceed 
to S. Res. 201 introduced earlier today by Senators Nelson of Florida 
and Graham of Florida.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the resolution by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A resolution (S. Res. 201) commending the University of 
     Miami Hurricanes football team for winning the 2001 NCAA 
     division I-A collegiate football national championship.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the 
resolution.
  Mr. NELSON of Florida. Mr. President, I rise today to note the 
accomplishment of the University of Miami Hurricanes football team, who 
on January 3, 2002 won the NCAA Division I-A football championship, 
defeating the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers in the 88th Rose Bowl 
game.
  It was an exciting and memorable game, pitting two of college 
football's elite programs in the ``Granddaddy of Them All''. 
Ultimately, the Hurricanes won 37-14, capping an extraordinary season 
with their 5th national championship all since 1983.
  Along with students, alumni and fans from across the country, the 
State of Florida has become accustomed to great teams and a rich 
history of collegiate football success. While the future of Florida 
football is sure to yield many more great teams and great battles, 
today I want to congratulate the University of Miami for their latest 
triumph, which truly was a team effort.
  Led by Consensus All-Americans Bryant McKinnie and Edward Reed, as 
well as Joaquin Gonzalez who was named the nation's top college 
football scholar-athlete, the Hurricanes showed that individual 
achievement, well-rounded student leadership and team spirit add up to 
success both on and off the field.
  Head Coach Larry Coker has much to be proud of, molding this team 
into national champions and becoming the first rookie coach to do so 
since 1948. For his efforts, dedication and success, he was awarded the 
Bear Bryant Award as the college football Coach of the Year.
  The University of Miami program is a meaningful example for all 
Americans of determination, perseverance and excellence, and I want to 
extend my appreciation to every member of this team that contributed to 
the Hurricanes' victory.
  I ask unanimous consent that the full roster of this championship 
team, and their first-rate coaching staff be printed in the Record. 
They have made us very proud.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:
