Hey guys -
Completely off topic but my friend Matt, a fellow 'Cane, now has a monthly article in Cosmo. Go pick up a copy (Kim Kardashian is on the cover), read Matt's perspective on what men are thinking while having sex, and support a fellow 'Cane!

PBCC...what about your other female friend who wrote the article about the Intro Video for UM at The Shark. U think she would write something for the Space?
Are we good to go for Thursday night at 8 PM

I've got another prediction while I'm at it. The Trojans go down to Notre Dame.

Why doesn't Deion Sanders stick to "teaching" FSU players?

ND is going to get smoked by USC. The Golden Domers are not ready for Prime Time yet!
Posted by: canesteeler | October 14, 2009 at 10:52 AM
Disagree CS. They have shown they can score points. Clausen can really throw.
USC's offense is suspect. I think ND outscores them.
We will see. I would love to see another team ranked ahead of us go down.
Posted by: pb(CSROH10) | October 14, 2009 at 10:55 AM
damn i was over posting on the old blog.
Aqua, Deion only "teaches" players that are already good. So that leaves out FSU secondary players.

I do.
Posted by: Palm Beach 'Canes Club | October 14, 2009 at 11:01 AM
and i agree with pb to an extent. Notre Dame can spread the field with their passing. USC's defense hasn't played a team that can pass nearly as good as Notre Dame. Notre Dame's defense is as bad as their offense is good. So that helps USC out. I could see Notre Dame beating them this year since they will be able to score and not sure USC will be able to do enough of that - even against Notre Dame. But until Notre Dame beats a good team I'll believe it when I see it.
Posted by: Esteban | October 14, 2009 at 11:02 AM
i agree pb. i dont think Barkley can make enough plays agianst that heavy blitz that he's gonna face Saturday. and NDs offense is very explosive.
i still won't be impressed unless they blow them out. USC has hardly any offense outside of Gable and McKnight so ND should capitalize.

ABC has chosen to televise the Clemson at Miami football game, but has declared a six-day option on the game time, which will have either a 3:30 or 8 p.m. kickoff. The Network will announce its choice no later than 12 noon this Sunday (Oct. 18).
peace
Posted by: solarcane | October 14, 2009 at 11:32 AM
Esteban I see ND's defense keeping USC in the game and USC pulling out a late victory. Is Classen still hobbled?
Posted by: canesteeler | October 14, 2009 at 11:32 AM
Buchanan and Brown are either going to sink or swim now.
It's time.
I say swim for both.
GO CANEZ!!!!!

just saw Urban Meyer's commercial for college gameday. he's an arrogant prick, but a really good coach.
and being that i'm also from Ohio i take partial credit for his coaching success lol.

Jacory Harris: "I got to make smart reads"
The way Jacory Harris and his wide selection of receivers opened the season, it looked like the Canes were going to be able to stretch the field all year long.
While Harris has hooked up on a few deep balls the last couple weeks (remember Travis Benjamin's 38-yard TD catch against Oklahoma and Leonard Hankerson's 37-yard catch against FAMU), the big play simply hasn't been there quite as often as it was against Florida State and Georgia Tech. The reason? Opposing defensive coordinators are game-planning for Miami better, taking away the deep ball and forcing Harris to work underneath more and more.
"The first couple of weeks everyone was playing us man," Harris said after Wednesday morning's practice at Greentree Practice Field. "They didn't know what we were coming with. So it was opening up the deep passing game. Now everybody is playing soft, so now we can throw little short routes."
If you are wondering why Harris has thrown as many interceptions (5) as he has TDs (5) in his last three games, he already knows the answer.
"I'm trying to go for the big play instead [of settling for a short gain]," Harris said. "I just got to make smart reads and trust everything around me and read the defense. [The interceptions] will lower itself."
Harris didn't see much action against UCF last season. He was 4 of 6 for 14 yards and came in late to convert a two-point conversion scoring play. UM had its second-worst passing day of the season against the Knights, throwing for just 88 yards as a team. Robert Marve, who played most of the game, was intercepted three times by a talented UCF secondary.
This Knights secondary isn't as experienced. But it is littered with South Florida speed. Freshman corner Josh Robinson was a standout at Plantation, junior Darin Baldwin was a star at South Dade, strong safety Michael Greco, a senior, starred at Cardinal Gibbons and freshman free safety Kemal Ishmael was a star at North Miami Beach High.
"They're going to give us a good game. They have a bunch of wonderful players," Harris said. "They want to take down Miami, and I guess that can make their season. A lot of people just want to bring down the University of Miami. We already had one disappointing loss, and I don't think this team wants any more losses. We're going to go out there and play our hardest in order to win."
> The last time UM was ranked in the Top 10, they fell hard at Virginia Tech. Harris said the team is approaching their second venture into the Top 10 differently.
"Last time we were real excited being ranked No. 9," Harris said. "At this point we understand we can't get like that anymore. We've just got to be our regular selves, and we just go out there and have fun. Keep winning games and all the rankings and things like that will come."
> Sophomore linebacker Ramon Buchanon seems like a nice kid. But getting two words out of him feels a lot like trying to scratch out a nasty stain on a shirt. We asked Buchanon about eight different ways how he feels about being given the opportunity to play more with Jordan Futch going down.
Here are some of his short and sweet responses...
- Do you feel you have a pretty good grasp of the plays? "Yeah."
- What would you say has been your biggest challenge? "Staying focused."
- Do you feel more comfortable having played the last two games? "I'm getting accustomed to the game speed. I played the whole fourth quarter and like the last 10 minutes of the third. It was pretty exciting."
He's only a sophomore. He'll come around. We hope.
> UM's official injury report will be released Thursday. But for now, here is what coach Randy Shannon told us this morning: Safety Randy Phillips (shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday; Running back Graig Cooper did and should play; defensive end Olivier Vernon is back, "He practiced all week. I expect him to go in the game," Shannon said.
> Junior Allen Bailey said he's still playing "a few snaps" at defensive tackle, but has played primarily at defensive end since the Georgia Tech game.
> For all of you enamored with the SpongeBob-Canes connection, Harris told us the team has decorated the locker room with Sponge86Cane fathead stickers.
Posted by: pb(CSROH10) | October 14, 2009 at 11:37 AM
we need to run more to open things up deep for the passing game.
Posted by: Esteban | October 14, 2009 at 11:40 AM
but i don't need to say that considering we got a real OC now. in whipple we trust.

Posted by: SuperCooper | October 14, 2009 at 09:32 AM
I don't think we lose Nix. I think he's just taking advantage of going to the game. But it is on his own dime. We'll see if he goes through with it.

I see the influence of the football team has spread to the other athletic teams. Now even Gator gymnast are getting arrested for weapons.
I couldn't allow my child to go to a school where the gymnast need a cache of weapons to cross campus on the way to pre-calculus.

Posted by: solarcane | October 14, 2009 at 12:22 PM
Aqua - Jamarcus is straight up awful.
The Raiders coaching staff should just design the plays on a buffet table, using: tater tots, Double Cheese Baconaters, Bear Claws and Honey Buns
The tater tots are the X,Y,Z and the Double Cheese Baconaters are the open spots on their routes for the tater tots to move to, while the Bear Claws and Honey Buns are the prizes over the first down markers or endzone
It would look like a table of sandlot football plays, except with cholesterol killers .... and he would literally eat up the info

Speaking of watching the game this weekend, I called Comcast and they are allowing you to pick up CBSU for the weekend, but it'll cost $24 smacks. If you don't live in FL, I think the sports bar idea might be best.
Posted by: Seoul Cane | October 14, 2009 at 12:26 PM
Sophomore receiver Davon Johnson, who was sidelined before the season with an injury, will apply for a redshirt.

Double Cheese Baconaters...hmmm
Posted by: DZ8 | October 14, 2009 at 12:29 PM
Este...some times all those small throws, or throws in the middle are just as good as the run game and will help set up the long ball..IMO

Hey fellow canespacers!! Been really busy so far this season so I have been getting my quick fix through rivals and scout with the occasional herald. I hope that all is well and I will be trying my best to come back to the site that got me through the spring and summer football drought. Lets go Canes I hope we keep on rolling this weekend in Orlando!!

Lets me ask U guys one thing.
"Why do some of U think Miami is going to have there hands full against UCF?
Think about that for a minute.......
Posted by: elliott | October 14, 2009 at 12:34 PM
Miami is way better than UCF people we BEAT OKLAHOMA for crying out loud and a VERY good GT team. Let me say this again Oklahoma will beat Texas this weekend and GT will beat VT.
Then maybe the world will realize that we are for real and our opponents have been stellar. No more fear we are the U....
Lets smash UCF this weekend.......
Posted by: elliott | October 14, 2009 at 12:37 PM
Elliot,
Because they will be tackling, because they will be tackling...and maybe meeting UCF girls.
Posted by: hillviewcane | October 14, 2009 at 12:37 PM
It is their biggest game of the year, that could produce some great plays by their players.
They have a RB who has produced some #s (haven't seen him play so I don't know if he is any good or not), going against a thinning front seven for us.
They are #15 nationally against the rush (quality of their opponents leads me to doubt the validity of that ranking), and might be able to slow down our rushing attack.
We are taking a bus and might get lost.
Posted by: DZ8 | October 14, 2009 at 12:39 PM
I was just wondering today as i look at a few yrs down the road.. when the Whip moves on if it would be possible to not upset the Whiplash o by texting the new o cordinator with the play. Whip could have a small studio that had all the angles shots coming through in his Whipple Cane command bunker.
