On a cool, crisp, cloudless - let's just call it picture perfect - day in Coral Gables your Miami Hurricanes men's basketball team is prepared to lock horns with the Duke Blue Devils in ACC hoops action.
The contest will take place at the beatiful BankUnited Center (BUC) on the lovely, tropically landscaped campus of the University of Miami. If you have never set foot on the UM campus then you have no idea what you are missing.
Not to mention it is just a short walk down the street to the always inviting and deliciously appealing Titanic Brewery where our serious pre-game preparation (read: hydration) takes place. Any sports physiologist will tell you that whenever participating in or watching sporting events one must always consider properly hydrating prior to competition.
Last year Miami completely dominated then #1 ranked Duke 90-63 in what has to be considered the greatest game ever played by the UM basketball team. Tonight the Hurricanes will look to repeat that feat and recapture the magic of that night when Miami fans stormed the floor at The BUC.
However, the two teams that meet tonight could not be more completely different than last year's matchup. Miami basically has five new starters and Duke also has a changed lineup from the one that the Hurricanes humiliated last season.
Canespace will be hydrating at The Titanic and then at the BUC hanging out with our good friends Lebron James, Dwayne Wade and former Hurricane James Jones who are all rumored to be attending tonight's little soiree.

86 well minus the score I hope you are having a blast man. our Canes are being beaten badly on the boards and we can't buy any 3's to make up the talent disparity. go Canes.

Why did we not recruit Madre London from St. Thomas? We needed a big back he's 6'1" 205? He is no committed to Michigan State. Folks on the inside, any idea?

Woohoo only and hour and ten minutes until the new blog. In the meantime, there may a replacement for beernuts on the horizon
jelly bean maker Jelly Belly is introducing draft beer-flavored beans at the Winter Fancy Food show in San Francisco this week.
“This took about three years to perfect,” Ambrose Lee, research and development manager for Jelly Belly Candy Company, said in a news release. “The recipe includes top secret ingredients, but I can tell you it contains no alcohol.”
The company opted to pay homage to its German ancestry with a Hefeweizen-inspired ale flavor that “is clean with notes of wheat and a touch of sweetness,” and an aroma that is “mildly bready,” according to Jelly Belly.
Though no official date was given, the company said the Draft Beer Jelly Bellies would be available in stores in early 2014.
The new beans join a list of exotic Jelly Belly flavors that include Buttered Popcorn and Tabasco Dark Chocolate.
