Happy Valentines Day Canespacers!
In honor of the most romantic Holiday of the year we are posting a special Valentine's Day blog. It was the famous English poet John Keats who in his classic poem "Ode To A Grecian Urn" wrote:
"When old age shall this generation waste,
Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe,
Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st,
Beauty is truth, truth beauty, that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know."
Ten year old Zach from California believed that when he met the UM Cherleaders at his first game ever at then Dolphin Stadium in 2008:
This is our tribute to beauty. First there are these absolutely lovely UM Cheerleaders that we met at the Spring Game in 2008:
And then there was Cat5 with even more of the lovely ladies from 2009:
Plus a little of this from the first Canespace tailgate parties in 2007:
Love was always in the air when Canespace is around, and we always are:
And then there are these lovely ladies from more recent events:
And there was this young lady who went to tears upon receiving her ST#26 shirt:
Plus some others from our recent and now infamous tailgate parties:
So what I am saying is there are some beautiful babes out there at UNC:
So much love for Valentine's Day. We suggest that U consider some UCF ladies:
Or maybe these young, yet lovely and more experienced women from Miami:
And if U can only be so lucky as to find a woman wearing orange on one side and green on the other, then U have found your girl for Valentine's Day 2010!
And then when it is all over, we suggest U consider this beautiful UM fan:
So Happy Valentine's Day Canes fans. May LOVE be with U!
Ohhhh my aching head.

Boy, those Sebring stories live on. I never made it, but heard plenty.
Posted by: Old Skool | February 14, 2010 at 01:04 PM
Just some random thoughts.
1. I was listening to the interviews on WQAM of Jason Fox and Baby J as they prepre for th NFL combine. It reminded me of something that Truth said awhile back about Swasey being a VERY good speed and agility guy and an OK strength guy. As you listen to the interview, Fox says his goal is to get stronger, so because of that he's chosed Pete Bommarito to do his strength training. Baby J on the other hand says he wants to get faster, and therefore is working with Swasey. 2 different guys with 2 different focuses and goals, and therefore 2 different approaches on getting there. Once again Truth, thanks for the "good" word.
2. Arthur Brown. I was thinking about when he first came to UM and Glenn Cook was being interviewed about which of the new guys were impressing him. He immediately said Sean Spence. He then went on to PRAISE Spence. Manny then asked about AB and his FIRST words were, "He's raw. Its going to take some time."
When Glenn Cook can say that about you, we should've already seen the writing on the wall.
HAHAHA!

Now, we gotta get working on that posting thing...
Posted by: miamimike01 | February 14, 2010 at 01:55 PM
BG, if Fox needs to get stronger something's wrong with our S&T program, not Swasey. Either he needs more training or they need to bring in a strength specialist. That's just ridiculous.
And Cook's words were prophetic, although I along with others hoped AB had a steep learning curve but I guess it was too much too fast, esp. the Mike.

CCC You know it. Great part is they run a Valentines special $99 for two peeps includes two filets, Salad, scallops or crabcakes, two sides and dessert!!
Their chocolate molten cake is gangsta!!
You cannot beat that.
We went last year and it was a great meal as usual.

Umike stick with it.
Gonna be a bytch at first. Do your best and make sure not to over do it.
Just throw a chair under the bar and use your legs for help. You will feel yourself getting stronger and use the chair less over time.

Just ran into some 'Canes fans outside of Cooter Brown's. They are going to check out Canespace if they remember their conversation with me.
More reasons to rep the 'Canes wherever you go - even at Mardi Gras!

I was at that game with 86 and Mrs. 86 when the picture of Zack with the cheerleaders was taken. He was so excited and it was cute to watch him. We all had such a good time. A special treat for me, being from Michigan.

UMike,
I've done it twice. You'll be doing 10+ by the time the first 12 weeks are finished. BTW Plyo became one of my favorite workouts, while yoga is the one I hate the most. In order to get the most bang for your buck, you have to commit to the diet. I dropped 46lbs.
Good Luck

UMike - diet is everything. You drop the dead weight from your body, things will be a lot easier
Focus on balance in your body, not just the beach muscles
As 8th man can attest, just like a lot of dudes I know - yoga isn't easy, and neither are pilates - but at first they just thought it was something chicks did. Meatheads laugh at it - real athletes know what's up that have trained with it
Your body is similar to a tree, the strength comes from the base and core
Body weight exercises are the best if you truly want to see just how much "strength" a person has
Don't over train either, b/c you'll be doing yourself no good. All the hard work you put into it, will just be wasted
And make sure you stretch
Seriously .. stretch man .. you stretch, you lengthen the muscle, less chance of injury, you get stronger as well, and you don't look like a fireplug that can't lift his arms above his chin

You better also be drinking water and lots of it ... skip the sodas, sugar filled juices and crap

Great 60 times for Benjamin, Miller and DVD, and the Canes also have other fast guys, like Brandon Harris, who did not post times there. This speed is a big upgrade over the two years ago, and the Canes have posted more people on that list than any other program. These improved 60 times remind me of Manny's post-Spring-testing articles on Swasey where he shows the upgrade and progress of the recent recruits. These Canes are like the Canes of old in terms of speed, and Regis on the shot put is impressive, too.
The Canes really have a lot of talent coming back all across the board. If they play up to their potential, this will be a special year, the Canes will be back in the NC discussion, and a new streak of first-round NFL picks will return again soon.

Canez1
Let me get this straight. You're hanging out with your lady curled up on the sofa watching Cheaters with her on Valentines Day.
You got style.
I'm trying to imagine the perfect encore to that ... Perhaps champagne, candlelight and a DVD of War of the Rose with Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner.
BTW to everyone else. Happy Chinese New Year.... Year of the Tiger.

Umike don't feel bad about the pull ups. When I first started I could only do 1. Now I can bang out about 7 w/o the chair. Use the chair it's your friend. And Six ain't lying about the yoga. Prolly the hardest hour and a half ever.
