Their well known State slogan proudly proclaims that "Virginia is for Lovers".
Unfortunately, the University of Miami baseball team found absolutely no "love" in the great State of Virginia.
By going to Charlottesville it appears that the Huricanes went looking for love in all the wrong places and wound up striking out in matters of the heart, especially when it mattered most.
After taking the opener on Friday 6-2, Miami lost two close, heart breaking, one run games on Saturday (3-2) and Sunday (5-4) to drop the crucial ACC series to the top ranked Cavaliers.
The 16th ranked Hurricanes trailed, but rallied vailantly, in each of the weekend games.
Miami mounted late, ninth inning comebacks to close the gap to just a single run but could not manage to push across the equalizer and finish the job.
On Saturday it was the two (and seemingly all too common) errors by Miami that led to two unearned runs for Virginia and cost the Canes a victory. The Canes fought back and scored two runs in the ninth but it was just not enough as the Cavs evened the series at one game apiece.
The storyline on Sunday was the eery silence of the Hurricane bats against the Cavaliers that left the Miami players feeling the hate from the Virginia faithful at sold out Davenport Field.
It wasn't until the UVA closer took the mound in the ninth inning that the UM battery woke up and made some noise.
Just like the previous day the Hurricanes scored two runs to get within one but simply could not finish the deal and wound up losing 5-4.
The two consecutive losses dropped Miami to 32-18 overall and 17-9 in the ACC while Virginia improved to 45-6 and 22-5 in the always highly competitive Atlantic Coast Conference.
The Hurricane will face FAU at home on Tuesday before taking on the Duke Blue Devils next weekend also at ARP at MLF in the final series of the regular season.
First?

New Miami Hurricanes coach Al Golden focused on conditioning, beefing up Tampa Bay recruiting efforts
By Greg Auman, Times Staff Writer
In Print: Saturday, May 14, 2011
First-year Miami football coach Al Golden was in Tampa on Friday, speaking to boosters at Avila Golf & Country Club. He talks about his new job:
How has your transition been adjusting to the new job, with a full spring under your belt?
It's such a thrill to be working at a place like Miami, with the tradition and the legacy. That part of it provides a lot of fuel, not just for me but for our staff. That's been fun, and my wife and kids are doing good, getting acclimated.
You haven't coached a game, yet you've been at UM longer than athletic director Shawn Eichorst, hired last month from Wisconsin. What do you like about your new boss?
No. 1, he's a communicator. Whether you like his response or not, he's honest. He's earnest. He communicates. He's direct. So that's incredible traits to have as a leader. That part of it is tremendous. Very bright, a lot of energy. You can tell in a very short period of time that he has a plan and a vision.
Tell me about the program you inherited and what the biggest keys are this season to restore some of the swagger and confidence associated with Miami football.
Conditioning. Conditioning. Conditioning. As a team, if we can … get to the next level in terms of our condition and improve our team unity, then we have a chance to play with passion and play with confidence.
Is that to say you were surprised by the level of conditioning when you came in?
I'm not going to comment on anything that happened prior to me. It's immaterial. What I will tell you is I know what I want it to look like. … It's probably the area we've made the most progress in over the last four months, but it's nowhere near where we need it to be.
About your quarterbacks — you have two that played last season, senior Jacory Harris and sophomore Stephen Morris. How do those two stand heading into two-a-days this fall?
They're in a dead heat right now. I'm very pleased with both of them in terms of their preparation and their progress, their ability to learn a new system with (unit) coach (Jedd) Fisch (also the offensive coordinator). There's a lot of college coaches going around the country, doing these functions, that don't have an experienced quarterback or a starting quarterback coming back. We have two.
Miami only had two players from Hillsborough and Pinellas counties on its roster last fall. That number should be three this fall, including defensive end Anthony Chickillo from Alonso. Talk about your recruiting efforts in this area.
I think it's great football. I had a chance to get around a little bit with Anthony Chickillo and a couple other guys we were starting to recruit in this area. We were late. I'm really impressed with Tampa metro football, so much so I felt one coach in this area wasn't enough. So I put two coaches in this area, (offensive line coach) Art Kehoe and (former Bucs assistant) Jethro Franklin. I'm not pleased with our representation on the team from this area. It's already getting better, with Dallas Crawford from Fort Myers.
Chickillo is a young man our readers know well. What have you seen from him and what might we see this fall?
It's a lot easier to recruit to your core values than it is to train your core values. There's a lot of kids that deserve a coach that believes in them, a coach to continue to educate and train. But let's face it: If you have to train everybody, you're in trouble. You need guys in that locker room that represent your core values. I can tell you, that young man represents what we're trying to be. Smart, tough, passionate, intense, rugged, gym rat, (good) work ethic.

Did I miss the reaction (if any) from the 'spacers about Forcier changing mind and not attending Miami?
Posted by: AlpharettaCane | May 15, 2011 at 05:01 PM
The response was pfffffft, whatever.
Some fans did not want him here to begin with.
Many questioned his willingness to compete.
Their question was answered with an emphatic: NO!

Despite the loss by the Marlins today they still have the 3rd best record in the majors and im still buying the juice with them
I just cant get over my dislike of JoMa as a manager so I wont buy the juice for the Rays, but I still want to see them win
Posted by: Sebastian | May 15, 2011 at 06:09 PM
With any player that decides to decommit and hes not able to play a down before 2012 its not going to be as big of a deal because theres plenty of time to find other players to fill that spot by Feb.
It would of been nice having another QB with exp. for next year instead of once again going into the year with just 2 QBs with game exp.
Better to be dealt this hand now so it gives AG and crew a few options to explore still

Posted by: RCCF | May 15, 2011 at 11:22 PM
Argh. Well, those Bulls sure came out ready to play, while Miami looked like Atlanta against them.
Funny thing is, Bibby played well, Bosh played well, Miami kept Rose outside, and Miai shot 47%, but they still looked.... outmatched.
I wonder if Dwight Howard would help this team...
Congratulations on Game 1, RCCF, at least we are still playing, which most teams can't say.
But don't get overconfident. Dallas trounced us in game 1 in 2006, but still lost that series. We can come back.

Bulls +13 offensive rebounds was the difference. Plus it's one home game, it's hardly the end of the series until somebody drops a game in home whites and no sport has less direct relationships between games in a playoff series than basketball does. Now if they get run off in game 2 by 20+ again, then it might be time to hit the panic button but if they clean up the 2nd chances that won't be the case.

CHICAGO--The Chicago Alumni Club is thrilled to host the 4th Annual Chicago Classic Dinner with Head Coach Al Golden, honoring Hurricane greats and NFL stars Ed Reed (Baltimore Ravens) and Greg Olsen (Chicago Bears) at The Metropolitan Club, on the 66th Floor of The Willis Tower, on Thursday, June 16 from 7 p.m.-10:30 p.m.
The Chicago Alumni Club is the only club of its kind to hold an event like this, in which the proceeds benefit the University of Miami Football program, as well as scholarships to help local students attend UM. Last year’s event was a record-breaking year in both attendance and proceeds with more than $59,000 raised.
This year guests will enjoy an exclusive, intimate dinner and in-depth Q&A with coaches and former players; a silent and live auction with items such as game tickets and field passes, autographed merchandise from current and legendary Canes, golf outings at some of the most prestigious courses in the country, and much more. Each registered guest will also receive a tote bag courtesy of High Sierra and be entered into a raffle to win two tickets to the Miami vs. Notre Dame game on October 6, 2012 at Soldier Field.
In addition to Coach Golden and the 2011 honorees, this year's attendees include Offensive Coordinator Jedd Fisch, Defensive Coordinator Mark D'Onofrio, Offensive Line Coach Art Kehoe, in addition to great Hurricane alumni including Chicago natives Russell Maryland and Jarrett Payton, NFL Hall of Famer Ted Hendricks, and Ryan McNeil.

Froma comment at the SS blog:
Update on qb transfers from UM…
Cannon Smith has been converted to safety this spring, after being arrested last December. His coach says he is a competitor and Smith is eager to hit somebody. Strange that he didn’t go back to qb after Williams left the team to transfer and no other qb on the roster has any FBS experience, but maybe he hasn’t recovered from injuries, or he just isn’t any type of qb.
Taylor Cook, who transferred to Rice, has been moved to WR this spring and he had a great spring game at wideout, catching 5 passes for 68 yards. “It’s amazing that he’s played quarterback all his life,” said his coach. The coach went on to say,”He’s just so natural in a three point stance. And I’ll tell you what he is, too, he’s tough. Sometimes you worry about that when you move your quarterbacks around, but he is a tough young man; he’s able to deal with the blows of the game.”

After clinching the opener of the NCAA regional women’s tournament Friday against FIU, her first match-clinching victory of the season, Mills came back for more Saturday. Her 6-3, 6-2 victory against Juliana Gajic clinched the NCAA regional championship against Texas for a 4-1 UM win in Coral Gables.
“I feel amazing,’’ said the left-handed sophomore, whose forehand down the line was returned wide by Gajic on match point. “I can’t believe I clinched twice. I’ve never done that before.’’
The fifth-ranked Hurricanes (20-6) advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 — which this year is at Stanford in Palo Alto, Calif. — for the sixth consecutive season. They will meet the winner of the Ann Arbor, Mich., regional — featuring Michigan, Tulsa, Akron and Nebraska — at 3 p.m. Friday. Michigan, ranked 10th, is that regional’s favorite. Michigan played Miami earlier this season in Coral Gables, with the Canes sneaking by the Wolverines 4-3.

Bottom line is there was just too much HELTER SKELTER vibes between Harris and that Whipple Factor last season. Say it ain't so.
Personally, I absolutely believe that Whipple Factor bloody well cost Miami TWO GAMES and not Jacory. Get outta' here.
That's why it was Happy Days are Here Again in beautiful Coral Gables ( For a slight few, but not all, Cane fandom. ), when Golden wisely decided to kick that Whipple Factor out the Hecht Center back door. oUch.
Still, it remains to be seen IF Jacory can lead the Hurricanes to a DOUBLE-DIGIT win season in 2011. The Maryland, Ohio St. and Kansas St. games will be an excellant gridiron barometer to what type season Miami will successfully have in the Year of the Rabbit. No not Bug's Bunny, eh.
If Golden's squad wins those games and Harris plays like it was 2009, then it will be a grand college football season for you-all Cane barbarians. oUch.
Bon jour.

So I just looked at the B(s)R feature on #12 and had to say:
Point one is adjust to the college game speed.
Point five and six are breath, slow down, and clear his head.
Is it just me or do point five and six contradict point one? No wonder I avoid the B(s)R like the plague usually. Now I'm mad at myself for not continuing to do so.
Really it's simple for #12, use your short and intermediate range passing game, you know, the stuff you're actually GOOD at, more and only throw deep when you've got single man coverage and the safety looked off. Unless the 5th quarter muscle mass gains actually have his velocity down-field significantly improved, in which case, it's Jeff Blake impersonation time! This has to be the year he finally figures out the idea that nobody open and bracket coverage deep = scramble from the pocket or THROW IT OUT OF BOUNDS PAST THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.

Miami Hurricanes coach Al Golden's tweet fuels Hall of Fame talk
Russell Maryland and Jimmy Johnson are up to be elected to the College Football Hall of Fame, which will announce its new members Tuesday.
By Steve Gorten, Sun Sentinel
4:57 p.m. EDT, May 16, 2011
CORAL GABLES— It looks as if former Miami Hurricanes defensive tackle Russell Maryland is heading into the College Football Hall of Fame.
On the eve of Tuesday morning's announcement of the 2011 Class at the NASDAQ MarketSite in Manhattan, Hurricanes coach Al Golden tweeted "Exciting news on a Miami alum just hit my inbox," adding "Formal announcement is coming tommorrow."
Maryland was one of 79 players placed on the ballot in March. Former UM Coach Jimmy Johnson, an Arkansas alum, also is on the ballot as one of nine coaches nominated.
According to the National Football Foundation, the 2011 class will include 14 players and two coaches – three of the inductees will ring the Opening Bell at NASDAQ.

Unbelievable... Lloyd Carr into College FB HOF, but not JJ. Wow...
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | May 17, 2011 at 10:00 AM
"Winless in five starts, (Josh) Johnson allowed a run on seven hits and was at 85 pitches through five innings when he exited the game. In the bottom half, a Carlos Beltran one-hopper caught him on the forearm. Johnson was able to finish the inning, but he yielded to Edward Mujica in the sixth."
Yep, the Marlins' ace is winless in five straight starts, thanks to a dreadful bullpen. His ERA is 1.64, #1 in MLB, .98 WHIP, #10 in MLB, but 5.37, #71 in run support. 11 total runs in 9 starts (two of those thanks to Dunn), and he only has a 3-1 record. He deserves better.

How dare Johnson let his players of african-american ancestral descent show emotion on a field of play? Who does he think he is?

OGV, I was just kidding. Just my way of pointing out that Carr did nothing compared to JJ.

Don't look now but FSU already has 4 verbals in the top 100. What amazes me about our recruitng is our inability to get Quality DT's & LB's. I know we added 2 DT's late but that's really just for some depth, although the Jucco could help if he keeps his weight down.

Dang Solar.
That's one ballsy guy. He's jumping out of helicopter on top of a fish that has a sword on its snout.
Looks like an easy way to become human shish kebab.

FSU has out consistently out recruited UM for the last few years. That's the main reason why we got our asses kicked last year. Let's hope Golden can turn things around. Of course, the QB is key.

Maryland was one of 79 players and nine coaches nominated for induction in March. Former UM coach Jimmy Johnson was also included on the ballot, which was mailed to over more than 12,000 NFF and current Hall of Famers. Maryland will join the rest of the 2011 Hall of Fame class at the NFF Annual Awards Dinner on December 6.
Maryland was a member of Miami's 1987 and 1989 National Championship teams, but his most prolific work came as a senior in 1990. During his final season with the Canes, he recorded 96 tackles (54 solo), including 10.5 quarterback sacks, seven tackles for losses and 19 quarterback pressures. He also forced five fumbles and broke up two passes.
As a result, he became the first Hurricane to win the 1990 Outland Trophy, which is given to the best defensive lineman in college football. He was also a unanimous All-America selection and named the United International Press Lineman of the Year.
The defensive tackle's best game came in the 1991 Cotton Bowl against the University of Texas. He recorded three sacks for a loss of 28 yards and nine tackles, while the Hurricanes' defense caused five Longhorn turnovers, each leading to UM touchdowns. The 46-3 Miami victory remains the largest point differential in Cotton Bowl history.

For the third time in the last six years, four teams from the University of Miami Athletics Department have received Public Recognition Awards from the NCAA for high scores in the Academic Progress Rate (APR).
The Hurricane baseball, football, men's tennis and women's golf teams all were among the top 10 percent of schools in multi-year APR scores.
It is the second straight year that the Canes football team has earned the recognition. Last year, Miami was the only Bowl Championship Subdivision (BCS) team among the 26 schools recognized that finished ranked in the final USA Today Coaches Poll and Associated Press poll after the 2009 season.

Would u rather have multiple national championships with west Virginia's Academic Progress Rate (APR) OR go 7-6 again again with a top ten Academic Progress Rate?

Raphael Kirby commits to The U! Hope he signs!
Posted by: OhioCane | May 17, 2011 at 07:39 PM
What position does Raphael Kirby play?
Posted by: Sinistercane | May 17, 2011 at 07:56 PM
Golden better keep recruiting his tail off. He's gonna need it to replace some more dead weight.
Remember this: True Freshmen Crawford (CB) and Grooms (CB/WR) will play this year.
#31 and #26 will BEAST out this season.

Statement from head coach Al Golden:
“As of this afternoon, Westleigh Storm Johnson is no longer a part of the University of Miami Football program.
When these situations arise, we always assist the student-athlete and his family in the transfer process. We wish Storm success in all future endeavors.”

Is it really accurate to say that U liked the "kid" or that you liked his "talent"?
He has MAD talent but how much do you really know about him as a person?
