Here's what U don't know: According to a few sources Wilder allegedly had his grades "fixed" so that he could even get into FSU. Now he could be OUT. Sad.

Here's a 5 star 4 u guys- Trent Richardson. Depends on WHERE U GO & WHO'S COACHING U BRO.

Joe S.

I dont know why he was a 5 star anyway hw sucked the couple games I saw him pkay. He just had his man body already in high school but i never saw anyrhing exceptional fron him on the field.

Real, you're exactly right It's where you go, the coach & the system.

Joe...U are 100% correct. In HS football it is easy when U are a man playing against boys. But when U get to college there are ALL men on the field. Games changes A LOT!

I think I've got something to contribute to that one.

When Randy Moss got axed from both FSU and Notre Dame, he made his 2 year stop at Marshall. While at Marshall, two students were sent by the athletic department to make sure he went to class. Anything more, you'll have to email me.

This should get interesting ...

The head of Florida State University told Gov. Rick Scott's higher education reform panel Monday that budget cuts are making his faculty a "farm team" for out-of-state schools.

Of 58 arts and sciences faculty members who received outside offers, Florida State was able to retain only eight, Barron said. He said they received offers that averaged $20,000, or 24 percent, more than what they were making at Florida State.

One thing when discussing rankings vs record is that the former is a lagging indicator. For most players it take a minimum of a year before they become a contributor. In this case, I would be conservative and say two years.

Here's Miami's yearly Rivals ranking, as well as its record two years later:

Year Ranking Lagging Record
2002: 8th 9-3
2003: 5th 9-3
2004: 6th 7-6
2005: 7th 5-7
2006: 14th 7-6
2007: 19th 9-4
2008: 5th 7-6
2009: 15th 6-6
2010: 16th ?

Perhaps the more accurate way of looking at this is to take a three-year rolling average of Miami's Rivals ranking. This would more properly reflect the star-based talent of a squad at any given year. Thus here are the three year recruiting ranking averages, compared to the record of the time:

Year 3-Yr Rolling Avg Record
2004: 6th, 9-3
2005: 6th, 9-3
2006: 9th, 7-6
2007: 13th, 5-7
2008: 13th, 7-6
2009: 13th, 9-3
2010: 12th, 7-6
2011: 22nd, 6-6

Now let's compare the three year recruting ranking rolling avg to actual record for a few other schools:

I don't think we need any 5'7 LBs anymore.

Just think, without a bad call in the endzone, 5 int's from Testeverde, running out of gas in the 4Th QT against Neb, A bad call on a Cleveland Gary Fumble & just plain getting punked by Ala.+ getting the shaft and not getting to play Oakie in 2000, we could possibly could of had at least 10 ships in a 19 year period of time. Dam I long for the glory days!

Not to mention the Ohio State game which caused me to destroy my old CRT...

Regular Joe

OGV isn't that something? Lopez gets fired from Floriduh because of not having CWS success and turns around and in a few short years wins it all at zona. Yet Sully has arguably the most talent in the nation (check how many got drafted and where) and cant even manage ONE win against a MAC powerhouse. This was probably their best chance ever to win it all.

It has to stick in your craw if you're a turd baseball fanboy. (cough, cough)

Fire Sully. lol

As for Mike Martin, his story is just sad and pathetic. Zero for a lifetime.

Associated Press

DALLAS -- A former Baylor basketball player is facing federal extortion charges for allegedly threatening to release "derogatory information" about Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III.

Richard Khamir Hurd's bond was set at $25,000 after his first appearance Monday in federal court in Waco, Texas.
A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that Griffin, the Baylor quarterback who was the No. 2 overall draft choice of the Washington Redskins, was the target of the alleged extortion attempt. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because authorities had not disclosed the detail.

Court documents say Hurd contacted a representative from a St. Louis agency, threatening to publicize derogatory information about one of his clients unless he was paid a "substantial sum" of money. The representative is identified by the initials B.D.

Griffin's agent is St. Louis-based Ben Dogra, who didn't respond to messages Monday. The documents don't name Griffin.

AP Sports Writer Stephen Hawkins contributed to this report.

Posted by: CaneRock | June 26, 2012 at 10:43 AM

Hmmmm, I'm curious to know what kind of info Hurd had.

CoCane

^^^ Sounds like RG3 is a lil' "fruity". Lol!

The What

You can bet that every media outlet will be down in Waco investigating and trying to get the scoop on what it could be.

Ohio_Cane

Corey Long:

TAMPA, Fla. -- While it's not likely five-star defensive back Vernon Hargreaves III will make a decision before the new year, what he does in the next month could go a long way to figuring out his future.

Currently Hargreaves, who is No. 4 in the ESPN 150, says he's made no cuts but three schools stand out.

"I don't have a top group of schools but I'm favoring Miami, USF and Florida," Hargreaves said. "I have taken a few visits around the state, I just went back to Miami on Thursday and I feel good about those three schools right now."

If you have an "ESPN Insider" account, U can read the rest here:

I have the feeling that Hargreaves likes Miami just as much as Miami likes him.

I'm jus sayin...

Swami for CEO

OK, I came up with an idea called: HATE WEEK (like Shark Week but with a lot more blood involved). We are going to focus on the five team UM fans hate the most.

Here is what I have:

Florida
FSU
Notre Dame
Ohio State
???

Which is the fifth team UM fans hate the most?

I am going to write up a piece on why I hate FSU. I need four volunteers to write articles on why UM fans hate the other teams.

Volunteers and the team U will write about?

Ohio_Cane

CEO, being from Ohio, I can take a shot at the Ohio State one. I'll email it to U when it's done, and U can decide if U wanna post it?

From Grant Heyman's football coach via email:

Grant is an outstanding athlete that is just a fantastic young man. Great character, positive and caring leader, youth coach to our younger football players. He is truly selfless. He will do whatever he needs to do for team first always.

He is going to love Miami. Great academics, outstanding baseball tradition and lots of sun. Should be a great experience!

Keith Molinich

Ohio...OK, U got Ohio State.

Old Skool

Swami
I would put Florida on the list twice cuz you can never hate the Gators enough, beginning with the flop.

herbieibis

It's got to be Va. Tech. We beat them, what once every 4 times.
I don't know about anyone else but I absolutely despise Notre Dame and this goes back to 1970. Every Sunday you had to listen to Lindsey Nelson, describe Notre Dames film footage of their game of the week. They never played anybody but cream puffs with the exception of USC. Also grew up an avid Bama fan and they cost them a ship in 73 I believe. They had 3RD & 20 or 25 yards to go for a first down @ they're on their own 5 yard line and completed about a 35 yard pass with about a min. to play. They won 24-23. Bama missed a PAT. What really got me though was the so called Cleveland Gary fumble and to top that off they ditched us in a potential rematch in a bowl game & played West Vir. and won the their last ship. Talk about a team that continues to live on their past laurels and thumbs their nose at joining a major conference because they have their own T.V. deal. I could go on but it makes me sick to think of those bums.

Swami for CEO

I'll add VT to the list. Assigments:

JW = VT

Old Skool = Floriduh

I guess ND is still open?

------------------------------------------

I would call it genius, honestly.

U've got a guy who can play one more year then leave for free, or you can move him now for Brandon Sutter, Brian Dumoulin (who just won a NC with BC a few months ago), and the 8th overall pick which they used on Derrick Pouliot, who is very similar to Letang.

Now, with that cap space and maybe moving Paul Martin to free up some more, they may get Parise and/or Ryan Suter.

Brilliant.

orange 'n green in the vein

#5 is Oklahoma, VT is more of the punchline to the joke of what happened to the football program with Coker at the helm. Before Larry, only probation allowed VT to beat us, now it's going for it early in the game on fourth down when your kicker is your best offensive weapon and a Groza semi-finalist while your DC calls a goal-line defense with the game on the line so a QB zone-read draw can go for the 19 yard winning score in their stadium. So to me, VT is just a measure of the severity of UM's self inflicted program wounds, plus UM still has an all time winning record against them by a respectable margin, which 12 straight wins to start a series will do for you.

Oklahoma, who UM only leads all time 4-3, meanwhile got to steal Butch's national title by playing the Jeffikens nepotism disabled F$U offense. Of all the years that could have used a four team playoff, the Indian, Huskie, Hurricane one-loss round robin that year needed it settled on the field more than any other with the ACC/pac-10 champ playing the Big East/Big 12 winner (hint, the team without Josh Heupel at QB). Then on top of that you've of course have the mid-80's history of who's the most outlaw program and the cherry on top; I believe, Swam4CEO correct me if I'm wrong, the all-time single blog post record on Canespace is for the 2007 OU game with over 1500 comments, which is just slightly fewer points that Stoops piled on after Turf-face couldn't get to the edge on the goal-line option.

Most of what I do is Western, but we have learned the extended trot and canter (extended lope) as well- never in an English saddle or with English spurts, but there are slight differences in the gait that I noticed, and seat position is a little different when my instructor tells us to Canter as opposed to lope. We galloped not too long ago, I saw why we spent so much time in two-point after that lesson. :)

The Florida Highway Patrol closed portions of Interstate 10 in north Florida early Tuesday due to flooding caused by rain. Troopers reported several areas of flooding on a roughly 50-mile stretch of the east-west interstate east of where it crosses I-75 and the agency warned motorists to use extreme caution on other parts of the highway.

Farther south, in the Tampa Bay area, roads such as Tampa's Bayshore Boulevard were washed out. Residents tried to salvage belongings from flooded homes in low-lying areas. At one point Monday, high winds and flooding concerns prompted authorities to close two major routes over Tampa Bay into St. Petersburg.
