Boston College ran into an intense and focused University of Miami team today at the BankUnited Center in an early and rare noon game. While most students were probably still sleeping off their Friday night partying, the Canes managed to keep the Eagles grounded with a balanced team approach and a solid defensive effort in an absolutely essential ACC win.
In the end, Faith in Haith was once again restored by the score of 69-58. The Jack Attack registered 22 points with James Dews dropping in 14 and Brian Asbury depositing 12. The Hurricanes (16-10 overall, 5-8 Atlantic Coast Conference) broke a three-game losing streak and swept the season series with Boston College. The Eagles (19-9, 7-6) were coming off a win over Duke last Sunday.
The Hurricanes have three games remaining on their regular-season slate -- including just one more at home. Miami will honor its four seniors -- Jack "McClutch" McClinton, Brian "Haight" Asbury, Lance "Over The" Hurdle and Jimmy Graham "Cracker"-- before their regular-season finale at the BankUnited Center on Sat., March 7 versus NC State. Tickets begin as low as $10 and can be purchased by calling 1-800-GO-CANES.
On this Super Sports Saturday on the lovely and active UM Campus in Coral Gables Canes fans had a chance for a rare triple header: A UM basketball game at the BUC at noon and a Hurricane baseball double-header at newly renovated Alex Rodriquez Park at Mark Light Field at 4 PM and 7 PM.
So, with the hardcourt hoopsters having done their part with a big win over BC, it was now time for Canes fans to walk the two blocks down Ponce De Leon Boulevard to the diamond for more good, clean fun starting at 4 PM. Who knows, even the students may be awake by then?
Many thanks to Canesince1982 who has done an admirable job as the play-by-play man here on the blog for both sports.
UPDATE: The UM hardballers split their Saturday double-header with Rutgers taking the first contest 4-2 and losing the nightcap 5-4.
In game one David Guiterrez was dominant on the mound for Miami allowing only one run over five innings. Kyle Bellamy closed out the game in his first appearence as the Canes closer. Miami was down one run with two outs in the bottom of the sixth, when senior outfielder Jonathan Weislow (seen here) smacked a two-run single to center to give the 12th-ranked University of Miami baseball team the win.
The seven-inning contest remained close throughout as neither team led by more than a run until the deciding sixth. Miami (2-0) scored the first run of the game in third before Rutgers (0-2) plated two runs in the fifth. The 'Canes then came alive in the sixth to secure their second win of the series.
In game two Rutgers took advantage of several defensive errors to steal the game. Freshman Kevin Youst made his first career start for the `Canes and allowed just one earned run while walking one and striking out one in three innings of work. Fellow freshman Daniel Miranda, making his first career appearance at UM, had an effective relief outing in allowing just one run on one this while striking out three in three innings. Senior Rene Guerra suffered the loss in the final inning.
Dave "Heavy D" DiNatale (seen here) reached base in all four plate appearances and finished 2-for-2 with an RBI.
Canes catcher Yasmani Grandal, hit his second home run of the season in a pinch-hit appearence.
The Hurricanes entertain the Scarlett Knights again today at 1 PM in the last game of the four game, season opening series.
GO CANES!!!

Ya, it's inexcusable with all the errors.
Put some ping pong paddles on everyone's hands, duct tape them on, and hit endless hard ground balls and short hops at them to make them understand what "soft hands" are .... then have them throw hockey pucks at a mark on the wall, to get the proper grip and rotation of a proper two seam fastball .... make them do footwork drills over and over.
It worked at the Doyle Brothers Baseball school.

Another Frosh pitcher for the Canes in relief .. well, at least in a couple of years, these pups will be nasty dogs on the mound.
Ya 82, ha, I remember doing endless drills with ping pong paddles in American Legion, High School and some college. I've seen it now in baseball supply magazines where you can buy soft round flat paddles to put on your hands, like an oven mitt, instead of using the ping pong paddles.
The hockey puck was introduced to me during summer ball when I was in 7th grade - I thought my coach was way off the reservation, but, it worked. He got it from the Doyle Brothers School of baseball.

Thought this would be fun. Make your predictions of the starting line up when we take the field vs FSU on Labor Day.
Here are mine.
QB - Jacory Harris
FB - Patrick Hill
HB - Javarris James/Graig Cooper
LT - Jason Fox
LG - Brandon Washington
C - AJ Trump
RG - Joel Figueroa/Harland Gunn
RT - Orlando Franklin
WR - Aldarius Johnson
WR - Laron Byrd
TE - Dedrick Epps
DE - Eric Moncur
DE - Adewale Ojomo
DT - Marcus Forston
DT - Allen Bailey
WLB - Sean Spence
MLB - Darryl Sharpton
SLB - Colin McCarthy
CB - Brandon Harris
CB - Demarcus Van Dyke
FS - Vaughn Telemaque
SS - Randy Phillips
Posted by: bg1906 | February 21, 2009 at 10:26 PM
That's wishful thinking...Ideal line-up. I know Epps might not make it and we don't know what the TRUE Freshman will do when they arrive in August.
Posted by: bg1906 | February 21, 2009 at 10:27 PM
Here's mine BG with a few tweaks
QB - Jacory Harris
FB - Patrick Hill
HB - Javarris James (only going with one starter here)
LT - Jason Fox
LG - Brandon Washington
C - AJ Trump
RG - Harland Gunn (want his potential to start shining through)
RT - Orlando Franklin
WR - Aldarius Johnson
WR - Thereon Collier (I just love what I saw from him at times last year)
WR - Lyron Bryd (going with a untraditional, and albeit unlikely, approach thinking we can use the big bodies of AJ and Laron to block in lieu of the tight end since I dont think Epps will be back by then and this could be an interesting look)
DE - Eric Moncur
DE - Marcus Robinson
DT - Marcus Forston
DT - Allen Bailey
WLB - Sean Spence
MLB - Arthur Brown (I know a long shot but again I want to see him succeed)
SLB - Colin McCarthy
CB - Brandon Harris
CB - Demarcus Van Dyke
FS - Vaughn Telemaque
SS - Randy Phillips

Also, have to say that I don't know why Jeff Luc's mom is worried about his safety if he were to choose us. He is one MEAN looking dude. (gives off this Mr.T/Tyson vibe in the pic up on scout right now)
Posted by: shwarma | February 21, 2009 at 10:39 PM
I wonder why you guys don't think McGee will start for us.
Posted by: VaCanesFan | February 21, 2009 at 10:40 PM
yeaa im thinking m-rob ahead of ojomo...also thinking ryan hill will start at one of the safety spots...idk about washinton starting either..thats a tough thing to do start as a freshman on the o-line (i know hes a redshirt but he still hasnt been in the program long)...You guys forget benjamin was nasty before he got hurt last yr too?
Posted by: timcanes | February 21, 2009 at 10:44 PM
Mcgee is a frosh and shannon wont start him off the first game unless dvd gets hurt or rlly messes up prior to the fsu game
Posted by: timcanes | February 21, 2009 at 10:46 PM
Va - As a frosh who wasn't committed full time at the position in HS I think the learning curve is too big. I think best case scenario is that he is the nickle back (Grant will be a senior so its alot of experience to overcome and I don't know if he is quite on the same level of Harris was coming in)
And if I had to choose a feel good CB story I would want it to be shields as I would love to see him emerge since that would mean he beat out Grant and McGee (under the assumption he wont the battle based on success and not there ineptitude)
Posted by: shwarma | February 21, 2009 at 10:46 PM
i meant won the battle
Posted by: shwarma | February 21, 2009 at 10:48 PM
Tim - I think Blur just needs a little more polish as a receiver. He is by far our most dynamic playmaker, its just turning that skill into on the field success.
He reminds me of Hester in terms of his big play ability (I know their builds/skills are totally different) and I think the refinement of his receiving skills (route running, blocking, hands, etc.) will be the difference between him being a starter WR and just being an electric return guy moving forward. (Receiving skills is why a guy like Collier succeeded last year)
Posted by: shwarma | February 21, 2009 at 10:52 PM
DVD has not produced as a corner, despite the high expectations. Shields at corner is wishful thinking. As a corner, you have to play the run and the pass. I can see every team we play running sweeps at him, and frankly, you don't learn that position in one spring. But McGee is a very very talented athlete. I just think he will be the starter once they compete in the fall. But you goys may be right. Shannon is known for favoring the seniors. But, he NEEDS to win this year. His strength has been recruiting. He HAS to play the guys he recruited if he is going to be around for long. When the Hurricanes recruited Barrow, Armstead, and Smith, they played them.
I think it is time is now for Randy to play the best guys he recruits.

Posted by: VaCanesFan | February 21, 2009 at 11:07 PM
VaCanes - DVD was very good as a freshman (I would argue just as successful as Harris) and I think that he just hit a sophmore slump and got cocky and lost in a new scheme.
I am not ready to pass any judgement on him until after this year. For Harris and DVD it should be their starting spots to lose.
Posted by: shwarma | February 21, 2009 at 11:08 PM
Canned beers only purpose is to be drank for maximum consumption at a low cost. Those two characteristics certainly have their time and place.

I would love to see DVD play up to his potential which I think is unlimited. But man, he played lost last year. Hopefully the competition will do him good.
Posted by: VaCanesFan | February 21, 2009 at 11:10 PM
which depth chart Tim?
And VaCanes, he played bettter the last couple of games last year.
Posted by: shwarma | February 21, 2009 at 11:14 PM
the canesport depth chart which is obviously not official or nething being that its february...but its an idea...it also has jojo starting which i think is alittle odd
Posted by: timcanes | February 21, 2009 at 11:21 PM
The whole secondary, including DVD, accounted for less than 5 ints. Did he even get 1? You are going to get burned as a corner in college ball. That is a fact. But you also have to take at least one the other way to be a good corner. In his freshman year, Oklahoma targeted him, and they were successful. And that surprised the heck out of me because I thought he was the best guy in the secondary, including Kenny. But this is two years now where he has played and not forced a turnover. He is why Shields is being looked at as a corner.
Don't get me wrong, he CAN be a great player, just hasn't shown it yet.
Posted by: VaCanesFan | February 21, 2009 at 11:24 PM
Thanks Tim. JoJo actually makes a little more sense since he started the bowl game I believe. I agree with Bg though in saying that I want to see Randy Phillips offer some senior leadership back there and then a guy like Miami Vice (or dare I even be bold enough to say Ray Ray) take the other starter spot.

He didn't have any picks VA as he didn't play. (I don't even think the DB's had 3 total int's last year and nobody more than 1 so while having none certainly isnt acceptible the boys who did play didnt produce)
And I thought Randy Phillips was the one who got burned the most against Oklahoma (he was playing corner then which is not the spot for him) And if it was DVD, he was a true freshman in his second game so he gets the pass just like we gave Harris this year.

Sorry Soup those other two just don't get the blood boiling as much as Football (plus for me being up in NYC makes those sports harder to follow)
