Canespace LIVE: Hurricane Season Kick-Off Party

We are LIVE from Miller's Ale House on Yamato Road in Boca Raton with Ben Leis and Mary Clark from the Palm Beach Canes Club at their annual football season kick-off party. 

Joining us are the voice of the Miami Hurricanes and event emcee Don Bailey Jr. and special guests Steve Walsh and Lamar Thomas (seen here with Canezilla). 

We will be blogging LIVE from the event and hoping to get some of your questions answered by Steve and Lamar as the evening progresses. Post your comments and questions on the blog and we will do what we can to get you the news you can use. 

Here is a summary of the Q&A session with DBJ and Steve and Lamar:

Don Bailey Jr.:  Let's get straight to the point: Talk about Jacory Harris.  What does he have, where is he at and what does he need to do to be great?

Steve Walsh: "A lot has been made recently about some of the quarterbacks (at UM) lacking some of the intangibles over the last several years.  One of the things about Jacory, one of the things that Randy Shannon loves about him, is that he is a leader.   And leaders can come in a lot of different forms and fashions.  The leader can be the rah-rah guy getting up in your face and screaming, Jacory is not that guy." 

"But Jacory Harris in that locker room, and Jacory on the field in the Summer when the players are working out, he can go up to any player and just lay it on the line.  He has seven other team mates from MNW high school on that team, so he has built up a lot of trust among his team mates.  He can tell somebody look, you are either with us or get the heck out of the way." 

"And Randy Shannon shared a couple of stories with me that that is what Jacory did.  And he really changed that attitude in the locke room and established his position as a leader this Summer, which quite honestly the last few quarterbacks were not willing to do.  Now when you combine that with a kid who is very talented then you have something."

"I remember the first game last year against Charleston Southern where Jacory got the surprise start and on the first TD and I am on the sideline watching and they blitzed him and he could have thrown the ball away real quick, but he stepped to the side and he ran for 25 yards and scored.  It was like the first drive of his college career and they scored.  And to me that was, well that said something that this player has a great amount of poise, and he's patient, and that's what you have to have as a QB."

DBJ: Lamar at the WR position you are an expert. You did a fantastic job at The U, you had a great career in the NFL, you have Aldarius Johnson and thearon Collier, you just go down the list, Hankerson is the only guy that has been there three years, how tough is it to come in and start as a freshman and when do you get your feet under you as a receiver?

Lamar Thomas: "Well to start as a freshman back in the day was almost unheard of but for these kids to come in and get that experience, well it is incredible to watch them mature.  And watch them go into practice now and growing up right in front of you is amazing.  I watched these guys in HS and I went to a couple of games.  Aldarius everyday is getting better, I watched him in practice.  Streeter, last year he redshirted, now the guy is out there making plays in practice."  

"I talked to Aubrey Hill the receivers coach and he talks about each one of them being able to do something different.  So when I talk to these kids I say to them hey you have got to separate yourself you have to be able to do something extra special.  Those kids, like Hankerson, he's gonna be a play maker.  They just have so many kids who can make plays it is impressive to watch all of them."

DBJ: When you talk about offensive coordinators I guess Miami has had three in the last four years. Whe you talk about Mark Whipple the new OC now who tutored Ben Rothlisberger, took them to the Super Bowl, he went to coach at the Eagles, what do you feel the impact is going to be that Coach Whipple will have on the team this year?   How long does it take?

Walsh: "When you look back at Randy Shannon and who he has hired, Patrick Nix was one of the last guys he hired on his staff, and lets be honest he did not want Patrick Nix, that was not his first choice. They were never comfortable with each other, Nix wanted to run a certain style of offense, Randy wanted something else, but they had to work together.  But it blew up, it blew up in the bowl game in California, the Emerald Bowl, and after that game I knew something was going to happen."

"But now Randy had a chance to sit back and really interview people and ask them hey this is what I want, can you do this and Mark Whipple is able to do those things.  Now I think you are going to see an identity on offense.  And as a former player, that's what I see immediately.  there has to be a logical strategy about changing your personnel groups. "

"You think about the great teams in the 1990s and the 2001 team, those guys could come at you.  You had guys like Portis and McGahee.  But the last several years you didn't know what you really had.  Now maybe that's skill, the players we were dealing with, but I think it had a lot to do with the system.  Now Randy Shannon has somebody that he's comfortable with and they know who they want to be." 

"Now they gotta go out and execute."

DBJ: Lamar there is nothing that helps the passing game more than a good running game.  You have Javaris James who has been banged up, he hasn't been able to be himself, now he's skinnier, faster, how important is he to the offense?

Lamar:  "Well I think he is very important to the offense.  It think it took him over the Summer to realize how important it is to be THAT guy.  I mean I talked to him a couple years ago and he just kinda said yeah, but now he's a Senior and he realizes this is the year I have to put it all on the line and make this a better team."

DBJ: Steve are you jealous that Jacory is going to break your single season TD record at 29 (laughter)?

Walsh:  "First of all it's 31 TDs because of the bowl game!  But yeah, it has been an on-going friendly wager with all of the QBs that came after me at Miami about who was going to break it.  Going all the way back to Crag Erickson who told me he was gonna do it.  Gino Toretta said he was gonna do it too. I challenged Kenny Dorsey to try to break it.  But yeah, Jacory has a shot at it, but I think the running game is going to work so well this year that he will not have a real chance at it.  He could do it, it's possible, but probably not."

anybody got anything new on moncur? as soon as one of the writers starts talking about us being injury free, everybody gets hurt.

[solarcane]

dayton,

that's the amazing thing Bolt is barely coached, does all this on his own since he was a little kid

I'm just skeptical I guess. It's the times we live in now.
I guess Hank Aaron was about the last bigger than life honest to goodness hero I trusted completely.

you could be right, I'm just not sold yet.

peace

[Daytoncane]

solar, maybe the guy is just good. its kinda hard to trust sports figures now, but this guy looks legit. i overheard something on espn news saying that he has been setting records since he was 16. and it is even more impressive that a guy over 6'3 " can get out of the blocks and hit full stride so quickly.

typically those taller guys run 200s, 400s, hurdles, and high jump.

just think if benjamin were that fast.

[CanesAddiction]

[CanesAddiction]

Optimist - I love that you still have hope and faith in the modern record breaker. I, on the other hand, am waay too jaded to believe much of anything incredible these days.

You promise to be one of the first on this board to come and say you were wrong if/when it's proven he's a user?

[Captain Optimist aka Cavaleer]

86, with the program's revival this year and especially next year, everything will be easier for you, easier and more lucrative. And with Shannon planning to stick around for a few years, the winning won't be changing any time soon.

[Mauro]

He was born to run the 400

[Captain Optimist aka Cavaleer]

BG, he's clean and he's dominating those guys with his stride. He's just covering ground quicker than the shorter guys. He's shattering the old myths about taller guys not being able to start fast enough because their legs are too long.

He's clean. He's running on newer faster tracks. And the world class talent never came close to breaking Michael Johnson's 200 WR.

It's good for US. haha Challenge is always good. He's going to make a lot of coaches re-think how they teach kids to run and in what events they can run, as well as who can run in the 1st place.

[86Cane]

I also think I am gonna quit my day job and do this FULL TIME. Do U realize I do this P/T after working for a living. Do you even have an idea where I am right now?

U wanna guess my area code? Last night? 561. Today? 305. Tonight? 954. Tomorrow? 863. Who does that???

If I can find a way to afford it, we gonna kick some serious azz...and put some people outta bidness, if U know what I mean.

Be afraid, be VERY afraid...

[Captain Optimist aka Cavaleer]

I think Bolt's clean. Hell, I want him to be clean, so when we smash his records there will be no chatter, like with that Canadian, what's his face???

Bolt is literally hitting his stride in terms of learning how to run the 100 and the 200, and with his stride length is shouldn't surprise too many people that he's setting these times.

You can see it by the 30 meter mark. His stride is just too long for a guy like Tyson to catch who relies on RPMs.

And in the 200, forget it. The stride takes over.

[86Cane]

I think...he did when he was young and then stopped.

I also think...We got some Canes over here!

[solarcane]

ill be at unc

peace

[86Cane]

UMike = Sophomore Slump

[Captain Optimist aka Cavaleer]

Bolt has given us a new challenge. But he's also opened the door for bigger, taller, longer striding guys to run the 100 and 200. Before him, coaches wouldn't even let taller guys run the 100. In fact, his own coach didn't let him run the 100 for a while.

Tyson Gay won't be able to catch him because his stride is too short after 30 meters. But the next great American sprinter will come up and smash Bolt's records.

It is inevitable......

It's also funny to see how he, like other foreign athletes of late, imitates Americans with the chest pumping bit, and how the media calls it "pride" but when we do it it's "unsportsmanlike" and "arrogant."

haha

[CanesAddiction]

86 - right now some of us are wondering out loud whether or not Usain Bolt is on steriods.

What do you think?

ohhhh

[solarcane]

unless there is some new drug that can't be detected by the tests, i think he's clean.

Bingo!
His illegal enhancement use will be well documented by Christmas or early next spring at the latest.
Enjoy the BS while you can

solar..or anyone else...do you know how long it would take me to get from Chattanooga to the UNC game?

[Esteban]

we need to do a canespace study.

take a cognitive test twice.

once after a week of eating everything you like eating - the worst of the worst.

and once after a healthy week of wheat grass and the like.

compare the scores. i volunteer for the first test.

[Old Skool]

Lol

Solar great line about the bolt cutters.

Science seems to back you up about improved focus. Here's a link to a NY Times article on how fatty foods cause declines in cognitive function.

i think if hes on something its on a new level -blackjack the anime movie style. sprinters who've tested positive for steriods havent come close to being as fast as he is now.

[Daytoncane]

His times are not just a little lower than the WR, they're waaay lower and in track that usually screams of drug abuse. I don't think Bolt is any different than the others.

Posted by: CanesAddiction | August 20, 2009 at 06:52 PM

he's clean. both he and tyson gay supposedly gave blood samples to prove that they were clean. no one told them to do it either, they took it upon themselves.

unless there is some new drug that can't be detected by the tests, i think he's clean.

Go Canes!!!

[CanesAddiction]

Ok, I'm just gonna come out with it.

I think Usain Bolt is on steriods.

There I said it. I have no proof. The reason I think so is because track and field is traditionally littered w/ dirty athletes and sprinters are amongst the most dirty.

His times are not just a little lower than the WR, they're waaay lower and in track that usually screams of drug abuse. I don't think Bolt is any different than the others.

[Sebastian]

I dont recall seeing a race where Bolt has ever really been challenged in

He said he thinks he can go 9.4 maybe even 9.3 in the 100

DAMN!!!!!!!!

NCST, another game we should've won, even with Brown's questionable block in the back.

Seriously, all the teams who beat us last year will get an L this year.

[bg1906]

That VT game makes me sick because it reminds me just how clueless Nix was. How many time were we inside the 20 or 10 and settled for a FG?? Sheesh. And is the WR screen and QB draw the only play from his playbook that works??

What was so frustrating about Nix was that sometimes he'd string together a great drive here and there then nothing until the end of the game.

Thankfully, he, like Cook and most of the Cokerites, are gone.

Posted by: Captain Optimist aka Cavaleer | August 20, 2009 at 05:58 PM

Best drive he ever called was the first drive vs UNC last year. I was like WOW, we may have something here!

Here's another product for you that will round out your nutrition wonderfully.

GYNOSTEMMA. In China they call it "magic grass."

It has a chemical profile similar to ginseng but it's more mild in fucntion and is a longevity herb.

In Asia they use it to trate everything from mild depression to controlling cholesterol. It gives you energy too.

Google it and find some place that sells the tea-bag form of it. It should cost more than $9 for a box of 100 bags. 1 bag is good for 2 to 3 cups.

Peace...;-)

[mi@mic@ne]

Just hoping the d line will be able to pin their ears back cause we will jump ahead by a couple of touches early...it will make things much easier for the young guys.

[mi@mic@ne]

Just get yourself a can of almonds and munch on them throughout the day... you will lose your appetite.

[dj moonbat]

Chambers is the biggest home-run threat among the 'Canes upperclassmen. He's got a burst similar to Cooper's, but has more fluidity and top-end speed. Like Canez1, I wonder why he's not gotten more touches. Maybe he can't block or catch worth a damn.

[SebastianDaIbis]

IMO it has to be some kind of practice issue

I saw some comments from RS awhile back and I took it as he had a bit of a lazy streak in him

[Canez1]

BG I love the way Chambers runs.

The kid has to get some touches.

Leave the hot hand in there.

Not sure what has held him back so far.

That South African runner looks like a dude but the way the female track athletes train, hell, most of them look like slim, athletic men, until you reach the face. But this one makes you think twice.

HOWEVER, I don't know why they have to run all these tests with all these experts to see if she's a she. Just drop the shorts and you'll know. Unless they think she had her maleness surgically removed so that she could run as a woman. But what are the odds that this happens in South Africa of all places? East Germany in the 1970s, maybe? haha

I think she's a she, but she's just more athletically built than most shes. I think it's the face more than the her track times that made them question her gender. If she looked like Gabrielle Union or Angelina Jolie in the grill, no one would think twice.

Actually, they would think twice and ask her if she's using some new style steroid.

Like Gayle Devers, who looked like a man until you reached her face. haha

[bg1906]

Just reading some old stuff. Here is what ESPN thought of Lee Chambers

Chambers is a perimeter speed back who is at his best on the outside and has the acceleration to pull away at the second level. He is a blazer. Has good size and is built like a tall cornerback. Coaches are going to want to put him on defense because of his speed, burst and change-of-direction skills. He is patient, reads block well and has a second gear to hit the crease when he sees it. Is at his best as an outside runner on tosses and sweeps. He can get to the edge, turn the corner and is a threat to go the distance every time he gets to the second level. He is a smooth and fluid athlete with great feet and hip flexibility (once again, corner could be in his future) and is explosive. Is shifty and can stop and start on a dime. He can be a nightmare for defenses to match up with and is scary out of the backfield as a receiver. He could split out wide and cause some real problems stretching the field. Has soft, natural hands and can adjust on the fly and catch outside his frame. However, if you believe in putting your best athletes on defense, and most successful coaches do, you would move him to corner. As a runner, he is not built for power, yet he isn't a finesse guy either. You would like to see him run between the tackles more to determine his ability to remain durable and take some shots, while still falling forward and gaining yards after first contact. He is a special athlete with huge upside.

Soup, great questions and answers. They answered all my questions. But you have to tell Steve that if any season stacked up favorably for someone breaking his TD record, it will be this year or next year with Jacory and the Jets.

Mary is lovely btw. ;-)

[DATcane]

(Ojomo's jaw is expected to be wired shut for approximately five weeks and it is expected that it would be several more weeks after that before he is ready to face the contact of football practice or a game. In addition, Ojomo's eating will be limited over the next several weeks which is expected to result in diminished strength and weight that could also take several weeks to recover from. Ojomo is a mid-sized end to begin with at approximately 253 pounds. His challenge will be to consume enough calories on a restricted diet to avoid significant weight loss. That could determine his capability to make a return later in the season
