Fishing For A Cause

Hurricanes sports fans can register now for the 3rd Annual University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame (UMSHoF) Celebrity Dolphin Tournament, which will take place June 28-29 at the Postcard Inn at Holiday Isle in Islamorada, Florida.

Ray Lewis , a former Hurricanes linebacker and two-time Super Bowl winner with the Baltimore Ravens, will host this year’s activities, which include a captain’s meeting, full day of fishing, awards dinner and live and silent auctions involving sports memorabilia as well as a variety of gift packages. Cash prizes and trophies will be awarded to anglers in eight categories.

A portion of the tournament proceeds will go to The Buoniconti Fund to Cure Paralysis, Habitat for Humanity of the Upper Keys and the UMSHoF.

“A record number of well-known former Hurricanes will participate this year,” said K.C. Jones, president-elect of the UMSHoF, a 2008 hall inductee, two-time Super Bowl winner with the Denver Broncos and founder of the tournament."

“Along with this, we’ve seen an increase in inquiries from fans who want to fish, network and simply have fun with other supporters of The U. We expect the tournament to have 500 participants and 100 boats in what is only its third year. There is no better place to be in Florida than the Keys in June to support important causes.”

Ray Lewis added: “The University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame Celebrity Dolphin Tournament is a great opportunity for Hurricanes fans and former student-athletes. I look forward to a weekend of fun, rewarding activities that are planned for this year’s tournament.”

Former Hurricanes sports stars slated to participate include NFL Hall of Fame Inductee and 2012 Tournament Host Warren Sapp (Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Oakland Raiders), NFL Hall of Fame Member Ted Hendricks (Baltimore Colts, Green Bay Packers, Oakland and Los Angeles Raiders), NFL Hall of Fame Member Jim Kelly (Buffalo Bills), Brett Romberg (Jacksonville Jaguars, St. Louis Rams and Atlanta Falcons), Gary Dunn (Pittsburgh Steelers), Damione Lewis (St. Louis Rams, Carolina Panthers, New England Patriots and Houston Texans), and Randal Hill (Miami Dolphins, Arizona Cardinals and New Orleans Saints).

I think Kirby may have separated himself at middle linebacker. It's also good to see Figueroa and Gaines get in there with Perryman. We'll need all the help we can get.

Miami’s running backs coach Hurlie Brown has a relationship with Valentines step father prior to Miami’s recruitment of him.

“My step dad knows coach Hurlie Brown, they played together, they grew up together.”

He spoke with coach Brown earlier today, and he liked what they had to say.

“They just told me that we have a game plan for you, we need you, and you would start right away.”

The talented playmaker also plans to attend one of Al Golden’s camps this summer to get a better feel for how they would use him on their defense.

His top three as of now is Miami, Florida State and Tennessee.

There are no participation ribbons. I don't care if they're "trying", I want results.

I wasn't giving him a participation award like U get in sports at age 5. I was contradicting the belief that some have that he's not even looking or offering DT's.

Perspective on Auburn:

Please remember that this is only a preliminary report. The sporting world was ready to condemn, kill, and utterly destroy the UM football program based on a flawed report.

However, it is the $EC. It also comes from multiple sources.

Let's let it ride.

I'd believe pretty much anything about Muschamp, though.

The NCAA is dead in the court of public opinion. Their actions stink of moldy cheese. The smart thing to do would be to dismiss this before the Hobbit nails their grits in court.

Yet when has the NCAA done the smart thing? They even had to promote themselves in a positive manner during the NCAA tournament. What was the tagline? "We're there for student athletes (SEC)?"

Jim Morris is destroying the Baseball Program

By Walter Villa

For the Miami Herald

If their recent play is any indication, the Miami Hurricanes’ baseball team is headed for trouble this weekend.

The Canes opened a five-game homestand by losing 5-3 to Bethune-Cookman on Wednesday. The Canes have now lost five of their past six games.

It was Miami’s first loss to the Wildcats since 2009, snapping a string of five consecutive wins. It also marked the second week in a row that Miami (20-12) has lost a mid-week game to a state school. Last week, Miami lost 6-1 to FAU.

We have to play better, UM coach Jim Morris said. We made three errors, and we didn’t hit when we had runners on base.

The Canes, last in the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Coastal Division with a 5-7 league record, will host No. 8 Florida State (25-4, 8-4) for a three-game series this weekend. FSU leads the ACC’s Atlantic Division.

Bethune-Cookman is 15-16 this season.

The Spring scrimmage and Spring game blog was a simple gimme and the ST#26 blog had to run on 4/1 (his birthday) and was a repost from years past so no biggie.

U know, I do what I can do for the FANS!

[86Cane]

if you want to be first on a blog...don't blink, LOL. 86 is on a roll

LMAO! Sometimes the material just finds me and other times I have to search for it.

The Barrow blog I would have left up longer (I thought it was agood one) but I promised KC Jones vial email that I would promote his event and post it Tuesday so I was committed. I always keep my promises.

He may not have made it to EE.

CR, I'm pretty sure Golden has said Kamalu will be a DT for us.

Posted by: Ohio_Cane | April 03, 2013 at 04:27 PM

OK then, Thanks OC.
Is He on campus yet Ohio?

[Ohio_Cane]

CR, I'm pretty sure Golden has said Kamalu will be a DT for us.

[CaneRock]

I don't know if this kid will play DT, but look out for Ufomba Kamalu now.
The kid's 6'6 280, and runs a 4.6 40, that's nothing to sneeze at.

Remember, Golden averages about 2 surprises per recruiting class, last year it was Jenkins and Waters. So don't be surprised if Kamalu joins CaneRock's 2013 All-Time LOF...Alex Figueroa.

Watch what I tell ya'll now.

[thirstybuzzardcane]

We do have depth at the DT position....don't think that it was that big of a need in the last recruiting class (1 or 2 would be ideal in 2014). We just have a bunch of young players at that position....There is no way Golden would move Briscoe to offensive line if he wasn't comfortable with the DT depth.

[UMike]

DT's are not looking at Miami as a school that will get them to the next level..imo

[Ohio_Cane]

Posted by: herbieibis | April 03, 2013 at 03:17 PM
-----------------------------------------

Well, we've got at least 10 offers out to DT's across the country, be it high school or JUCO.

It's not that they're not trying, believe me.

[herbieibis]

That's true Ohio but I haven't seen us recoup any DT's that went back out on the market. That part of the board us been boarded up for some time and for us to change defensively this has where its got to get better, in a New York minute.

[LB]

"That's what she said."

Awesome!

Moreover, I think KC might be our Duke/Dobard. Recruits recruiting are excellent, and UM needs them all.

[Ohio_Cane]

. We've offered 6 and so far 3 are off the board.

Posted by: herbieibis | April 03, 2013 at 02:55 PM
----------------------------------------

No one is "off the board" until next February. Except KC McDermott, of course.

[herbieibis]

Travonte Valentine backs out of his commitment to the Gators and Moten then commits to those bums. We've offered 6 and so far 3 are off the board. It's early, but we don't need just 1, we need at least 3 but I'll take 2. We lack a lot of quality as it is now and in reality, an injury or 2 to the wrong ones up front and it's sieve city again.

[myndraize]

I'm sure Deon Bush can be an all american at safety,yet he has impressive press man skills and strong enough too handle bigger wr's would a switch to corner be so wrong at least on some formations,unless of course he re-fines his tackling techniq

[Ohio_Cane]

It is primarily contingent on three areas of improvement:

1. Defensive penetration.
2. Tight end production.

Posted by: LB | April 03, 2013 at 02:26 PM

That's what she said.

[LB]

This could be a transition year from an above average program to a good program. It is primarily contingent on three areas of improvement:

1. Defensive penetration.
2. Tight end production.
3. Exorcising the dropped passes.

I think we've addressed #2. The others? No idea.

True that, BUT!, I don't mind losing them to a school we DON'T play every year, with the exception of the Gators, who finally grew some balls and will play us this year LMAO!

CaneRock..I don't know much about Moten, and I think Clark has always been our top target..BUT..I dont like loosing a guy at a position of need to an instate rival from a feeder school lol

[CaneRock]

Moten's no big loss to me, Clark is more of a TRUE DT to me.

[UMike]

Valentine was at the Canes practice and family/team bar-b-que..thats at least a good sign.

It's true. Scout has it updated. He's a turd. LITERALLY

[UMike]

Anthony Moten ‏@anthony_moten95 1m
JUST COMMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA..#GOGATORS

IDK if that is his real account or not..but according to Pete Ariz, Corey Holmes also tweeted it, and told Ariz it was legit. of course Holmes has been wrong before and there doesnt seem to be any update on Rivals about it.

[UMike]

If in fact Morten to UF is true..and it seems to be..there is little chance he flips. St. Thomas players simply dont flip. Were going to need Clark (who i think is a close Cane lock) and Valantine

[CoCane]

Dam we need to get Clark...

[CoCane]

I thought Moten was supposed to be a cane? Well, it's April. He ain't signed with the turds yet. ;-)

Golden has praised Olsen Pierre to the shed and back. Said he's leaving the rest of them "in the dust".

I'm assuming he's not saying the rest are slacking considering he's praised them as well. Pierre prob starting DT this year, and our best one.

Just a guess by Golden's comments.

With Moten to UF, thats one top DT off the board..good thing there are a few more.
