University of Miami senior Julian Gamble tore the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) in his left leg and will likely miss the entire 2011-12 men's basketball season. A team leader, Gamble started 13 games in 2010-11 and averaged 3.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per game.
Here is a video interview with Gamble after last year's big come from behind win over Virginia in the ACC tourney:
"We feel awful for Julian Gamble," said UM head coach Jim Larranaga. "Tearing your ACL is a devastating injury at any time in your career, but particularly in your fifth year of eligibility."
"Julian is a bright, hard working and competitive athlete. We will do everything we can to support him in his efforts to rehabilitate this injury. We know he will also be there supporting his teammates, becuase that is just the kind of person he is."
His fellow big-man Reggie Johnson underwent surgery on June 30 to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. Johnson was expected to be sidelined for 5-6 months from the date of the surgery.
The 6-10, 305-pound center from Winston-Salem, N.C., tested the waters of the NBA Draft last spring and elected to return to the Hurricanes for his junior season in 2011-12. As a sophomore in 2011, Johnson was Miami's leading rebounder and third-leading scorer, nearly averaging a double-double with 11.9 points and 9.6 rebounds per game.
The Canes now have two post players injured as the college hoop season quickly approaches. UM will rely heavily on redshirt-sophomore center Kenny Kadji, who will be eligible to play this season after transferring from the University of Florida.

I'm not trying to be a downer but if all 12 players were to be suspended for a majority of the year the smart move would be self-imposed sanctions. No bowl game and loss of schollies. Jmo

Posted by: 86Cane | August 23, 2011 at 05:38 PM
Man, this Cane's investigation has almost taken a life of its own. I know it is an easy story to run with due to the controversial nature of the allegations, but for it to be on Sports Talk Radio on a fairly regular basis here in the Twin Cities is nuts.
There is a John Feinstein being interviewed now. His first comment on it was that it was a crazy due to the sheer number of allegations Shapiro made while "on record". He states that he is aware that Shapiro is a crook, but...
Exactly, BUT. He has a flippin' book to sell to try to satisfy debts.
So what if the U is used as an example, I'm not losing any sleep over this. Seriously, this is the attitude that people that claim to care for CFB and the student-athletes take, at least the vast majority of them. And then they are all up in arms when some scandal is "revealed". Whatever.

I should note that it was also mentioned that NCAA President Emmert was on the Dan Patrick Show this morning talking about the incredible way that the U has been cooperating with this investigation.
Well, I hope it that is worth something. But in my humble opinion, this entire system is a sham and the degree to which a univ cooperates should not matter much at all. Shakin' my head.

I read recently that Solar is being investigated for paying college interns who play Div III sports with Canespace merchandise for assisting him with his Canespace work. However, he has cooperating fully with the investigation and may only be suspended for one week of blogging.
No, in all seriousness, I, too, have greatly appreciated Solar's stellar work!! Gracias, Sr. Sol!

Fellow Hurricanes: Wear Orange!
For those of you returning to campus, welcome back! And to the Class of 2015: Welcome to the U! The start of a new year always brings a renewed sense of school pride. As we see old friends and meet new people, our ‘U family’ grows in size and strength. The news of NCAA rule-violation allegations against our athletics program is troubling. But when have we, the students at the University of Miami, ever shied away from representing our school - our family – when a challenge presents itself to us?
Each and every day, we wear the U with pride on our campus and all around the country. We wear it not as just a logo on our shirt but as our heart on our sleeve. We are proud to be Miami Hurricanes, and we have no problem letting other people know. That should not and will not ever change. With the over 15,000 students at this great University and the over 165,000 living alumni, we have over 160,000 family members who bleed orange and green - something no one can take away.
The buildings and fountains on campus make up the University of Miami. But it is us - the students--who make it ‘The U’. When the TV cameras pan at the football games, they pan to us. When the country wants to know how a school is handling a situation, they look to us. We need to show everyone that our family is as strong as it’s ever been and it is a bond that is forever growing stronger.
Now, our U family needs to be stronger than ever. That is why I ask each and every one of you to wear orange on Wednesday to support our family, and to mark the start of a new year - a year that will be defined the way we, and no one else, choose to define it. Together, we will show the country what it means to be a Miami Hurricane. Step by step and day by day our U family will show the country and the world that it truly is great to be a Miami Hurricane.
Go ‘Canes!

Undergraduate Student Government President

Posted by: solarcane | August 23, 2011 at 05:59 PM
As OGV says, it's ironic. There are two types of irony:
1. Verbal irony: something is said or written which is at odds with the intent of the person making the statement, usually intentionally, but not always
2. Situational irony: something happens in the course of narrative events that a) was not the expected outcome; and b) shows that our expectations for outcomes in narrative are somehow flawed.
Verbal irony is frequently mistaken for sarcasm. Situational irony is basically life as we know it. ;)
Certainly, a race car driver losing his license for driving fast is a candidate for situational irony status.
As OGV notes, paradox is a logical, rather than linguistic, construct. There is nothing illogical about a race car driver losing his license for driving too fast, so it cannot be a paradox. But it can still be ironic that a man's livelihood -- driving fast -- was responsible for the ticket. (Not the most profound irony ever, but still, not a paradox. Irony.)

To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)

A time to build up,a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together

What I'm burning on:
1. Will #8 start?
1a. BOLD PREDICTION - If all 12 guys are deemed ineligible, we
still will go to and win a bowl game.
2. Are the allegations in any way affecting how the staff will
form the depth charts?
3. Hope Nevin is placed with the general population once he's
transferred down here...
4. Seems to me like more +'s than -'s are coming out in regards
to the investigation.
5. Glad to finally be posting on here regularly again...

Well hello canespace, I know I haven't been around in a while, but I have a few good reasons. #1 I just got moved my new house about a month ago, and #2 I'm waiting on my first child, a baby girl, so I've been quite busy. Figured I'd get my name back out there since it's about that time again. I know it's a rough time for us these days, but it's gonna be what it's gonna be, so I'm not gonna cry or whine a damn bit. If we did wrong, we take the punishment, bottom line. As long as they don't take my beloved Canes off TV I'll be fine. So that being said, lets take what we got up to Maryland and make some turtle soup!! Go Canes, stay strong, we got this!!
