Over the years, since Canespace began way back in June of 2006, we have steadily become more than just your typical college sports blog.
We have been kicking bass and taking names for a long, long time now. As we have gone through the years we have learned that "community" matters as much as the score of the game, the season record or anything else.
We have traveled long and far to North Carolina and Fort Myers, Tampa, Jacksonville, deep into the heart of Gator Country in Gainesville and even to Tallahassee to see our Miami Hurricanes take on the Florida State Seminoles at Doak Campbell Stadium (football), Dick Howser Stadium (baseball) and The Civic Center (basketball) in the State's Capitol.
In fact, Canespace has become a family, a social club and group of people who do things together well beyond the scope of University of Miami athletic events. Sure hanging by your computer for 24 hours around National Signing Day is fun and all but believe me, there is life outside of those four walls surrounding you as you read this.
We strongly recommend that at least every once in a while that you get up, put down the texting device and go outside and play. Try it, you'll like it!
Since we started this blog a little over six years ago we have been white water rafting, scalloping, dining, partying, camping, fishing, traveling and site-seeing.
We have also participated in many other activities that most people who read the blog on a casual or even a regular basis have no idea is going on.
On Monday, February 25th long-time blogger Old Skool and myself went on another Canespace fishing trip in Central Florida on Lake Istokpoga near Sebring. And needless to say, we kicked bass!
So, again as usual, and as you can clearly see, a good time was had by all.
It is the Canespace way.
Straight pimping.

The Canespace way... I like it!
(I'm not sure if that bass had such a good time though... )

Native...Yes Sir! Old skool caught a 7 pounder, biggest fish of the day, with Capt. Mark Beaver on Lake Istokpoga using live shiners. We went out of Trails End Marina and fished the North to NE section of the lake.

Brandon McGee ran a good 40 time of 4.38. McGee also has size. I think he has a shot at the 2-3 round.

YUP! McGee made some money today.
And what was more impressive, His second run was 1/10th of a second faster than His first run.
But McGee had a heckuva season, loved the way He stuck His nose in there against the run.

After a perfect week improved their season mark to 7-0, the Miami Hurricanes entered the USA Today Coaches’ Poll for the first time in 2013, breaking into Monday’s rankings at No. 21.
Miami remained at No. 20 in the weekly Collegiate Baseball Newspaper poll released Monday.
The Hurricanes, one of four undefeated teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference, used a comeback to topple FAU in their road opener on Feb. 20. A late two-run homerun from freshman David Thompson helped force extra innings, while an RBI single from junior Brad Fieger in the top of the 11th would clinch a 5-4 victory.
Miami then swept visiting Milwaukee in a weekend series at Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field. Hurricane starters allowed only three earned runs over 15.2 combined innings in the sweep, while Thompson sparked the Canes offense once again. The Miami, Fla., native, ranked among the conference’s top power hitters statistically, finished the weekend with five doubles and six RBI’s.
The Hurricanes have a pair of home games before they travel to Gainesville, Fla., and a weekend series with in-state rival Florida. Miami will face St. Thomas on Tuesday, Feb. 26 and Barry on Wednesday, Feb. 27. First pitch for both midweek games is set for 6 p.m.

Speaking of Spence -Hope he recovers:
questionable
Spence damaged a nerve behind his knee when he suffered a season-ending injury and the recovery of that nerve will likely determine if he plays again, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Just FYI, U should never kick a fish. That's cruelty to animals.

Man, that is some real tough news. I sure hope for the best for him. He seemed like a real great kid. Just goes to show that it pays to get the degree while playin' ball...you never know.

I need to get in on this action.
From (AP) -- Beer lovers across the U.S. have accused Anheuser-Busch of watering down its Budweiser, Michelob and other brands, in class-action suits seeking millions in damages.
The suits, filed in Pennsylvania, California and other states, claim consumers have been cheated out of the alcohol content stated on labels. Budweiser and Michelob each boast of being 5 percent alcohol, while some "light" versions are said to be just over 4 percent.
The lawsuits are based on information from former employees at the company's 13 U.S. breweries, some in high-level plant positions, according to lead lawyer Josh Boxer of San Rafael, Calif.
The suit involves 10 Anheuser-Busch products: Budweiser, Bud Ice, Bud Light Platinum, Michelob, Michelob Ultra, Hurricane High Gravity Lager, King Cobra, Busch Ice, Natural Ice and Bud Light Lim

Both Yearby and Cooke at Central (Miami) HS are good, but I always liked Yearby more as a pure RB - balance, speed and agility. I saw Yearby break tackles and take it to the house on a couple of occassions.
Yearby to the Canes at this stage is a good sign for South Florida recruiting.
