Here we go again! October is the month that you have all been waiting for.
The Canespace football extravaganza is coming to a location near you soon.
This is the five day, sports focused weekend, that will extend from October 15-19 in the Florida Keys. The game is vs Virginia Tech on Saturday, 10/17/15 at Sun Life Stadium with tailgate party as always.
But later on, Terrance will find himself swimming with the sharks.
While KYCane will is catching a sunburn, Judson will find himself catching some fish if not spending time kayaking with the dolphins and manatees.
RaizeCane will drink at least 5 gallons of Captain and Coke (see photo below).
NativeCane, even without his trusty chainsaw nearby, is always lurking in the shadows, and is sure to raise some serious attention wherever he goes.
I am begging the rest of you to PLEASE not attend this event.
No, really, and seriously, you can't handle the truth, so please do not go.
No matter what you plan to do, please plan to do something else.
You cannot participate in this event and you certainly have no ability to handle this party. This is almost certain and you are going to have to just trust me!
Sweet. Can't wait.

That's how I got my FSU tix. Huskers also travel well, they'll buy a ton of tickets and they'll likely not all be used so if you're feeling daring there should be a ton of them available on game day at the sradium for cheap.

The Work - Canes Camp #9
**Quan Muhammad, Mike Badgley, and Standish Dobard were in the red no-contact jerseys today. Golden said that Muhammad and Badgley are dealing with minor hip flexors and Dobard has a hand issue. Juwon Young did not participate in practice at all due to what Golden said was an effort to reduce swelling in his foot.
--Golden on the difference between being cautious with guys and letting them play though pain: “It’s a fine line…during that stretch of Thursday, Wednesday, Friday, they only had 30-40 reps so that’s a little healing time there. We have this next little push and then we’ll break before we get to the next scrimmage.”
**Chad Thomas explained the mindset of the players as they fight through the dog days of camp.
“You’re going to have body aches and stuff. Coach takes care of us. A lot of us are going to see Vinny (Scavo) in the training room to get our body right for the next practice, so you just gotta keep a good mindset and ignore the nicks and nacks.”
--Thomas feels like his added weight in the offseason will help him in the trenches.
“I feel good taking on the runs. I’m trying to get off on the runs and hold it in there, not just getting pushed out,” said Thomas
--Thomas on the offensive line: “They’re progressing very well. They had to come together and now they’re giving the D-Line some work.”
--Thomas on easing Gerald Willis in to the team.
“He was my roommate at The Opening or the Under Armour All-American game, so we were already good friends and I wanted to help him out. We’re teammates now, so I don’t really care where he came from.”
“From what we’ve seen at the practices and stuff, Coach Coley has shown us big expectations for what this offense can do.”
**Redshirt freshman linebacker Mike Smith sat out last year with a knee injury. Known as a relentless pass-rusher out of Miami Northwestern High School, Smith described the road back to the field this season.
“It took me a while to get back. I had to lose some pounds to get back in football shape…rehab process was really long days with squats and stretching, but it’s really working now,” said Smith.
--A couple of Smith’s teammates have helped him with his transition to the hybrid rush role. He was primarily a hand-in-ground rusher in high school.
“With the help of Darrion Owens and Tyriq McCord, those guys really showed me the way because those guys played last year and Tyriq is a senior so he kind took me under his wing.”
--A former teammate and current Jacksonville Jaguar was also somebody who has helped Smith mature.
“I was able to really look at Thurston Armbrister how he works and prepares so I try to mimic that so at least I knew how to come in here this year and how everything works.”
**Transfer DL Gerald Willis is living with his close friend Standish Dobard. The two Louisiana products were teammates in high school at Edna Karr. Dobard has been instrumental in Willis’ transition.
“He helps me stay focused, stay out of trouble, and staying on my back making sure I’m going to class and stuff like that,” said Willis.
--One of the things that Willis notices about this Canes team is the way that they have reached out to him during his acclimation period at Miami.
“Coming from Florida, I didn’t have a relationship with those guys like that. It means a lot to have those guys looking over my back and helping me.”
--Willis on his role with the team this season, as he has to sit out per NCAA rules.
“I got some reps in the scrimmage and during practice they just use me in the drills and all that. I really just want to practice anyways so I stay in shape and come in next year knowing the system. This Miami heat is something serious so I wanna stay in shape and be out here with the guys and have a good relationship with them.”
--Willis said that communicating is an aspect of his life that he has worked on since transferring.
“I’m changing by talking to somebody everyday if I do have a problem. I’m starting to get better with communications, which is something I was lacking at Florida.”
--Willis’ secret to avoiding confrontation now?
“I just count to three. I just have to walk away. I can’t do what I did in my past, no matter how much it hurts me.
He knows that this could be his final chance and wants to take advantage of it.
“I’m playing with my future. This is my second opportunity and I don’t want to mess it up.”

Hope this will be a great Oct, great season for AG and Co....the breakout. First 2 games are tuneups....but use them to tune up, don't take light. 6 really tough ones next....pretty damn tough row to hoe, if we come through it I will be very impressed.
My two biggest peeves the last 10 years are all 3 phases poor fundamentals, and all the excuses for
not winning....from administration, staff, players and fans.
You can correct fundamentals through hard work, dedication, aggressive attacks, commitment, and relentless player development. There is no cure for excuses, cause its the softer easier gentler coward way out of facing reality.
Here's to a big 2015 season for the Canes!.
My boys are rocking....we hit yesterday....we are they most physical of the 32 teams in our keague. I mean we go after it like great white sharks.....and T Sully!
We are in shorts and t shirts today....just to be together stress team and fundamentals and develop that killer team instinct. We will be very very good they are very dedicated....we will be in the hunt
Go Canes!

I couldnt agree more VA Cane. Al's teams have been fundamentally poor his entire time here in Miami. All three phases in offense defense and special teams. Defense and special teams by far the worst. I believe Coley and Fisch before him have down decent jobs. And I also totally agree with your last post about stats versus eyeball test. I don't need stats positive or negative to show me that the defense is fundamentally, and schematically not properly coached. I have my eyeballs to show me that our linebackers are consistently lined up out of position and even more importantly are not reading any of there keys which for a linebacker, a position I played my whole life is possible the most important part of the position. Read and react is the ethos of every linebacker but if your not properly coached to read the keys the offense is giving you then it's gonna be to late by the time you react to the play. The battle between offense and defense is a card game and every offense has tells, you have to be able to read those tells to play linebacker at a high level. I also don't need stats to show me that our secondary is also misaligned most of the time and there is constantly a break down in communication between the corner and safety in zone cover and release principles which is coaching and why Al Goldens defense which is suppose to protect the big play/getting beat over the top, is consistently getting beat over the top for a big play. I also don't need stats to show me that the Dline is also not properly lined up based on the allignment of the offense which his back to the linebackers not being coached to properly follow there keys since the linebackers are also usually responsible for the making sure the Dline is in the right position. The Dline is also not being coached proper technique because the only move I consistently see out there is the bull rush. When they do attemp some tiger stunts they usually give it away to the Oline due to lazy slant stances by the tackles which signals to the Oline that there not coming forward and our coming on a stunt. Now I've been around this game my whole life so maybe I might see some things that average fan might not but im no rocket scientist here and these things I've listed above are basic stuff that you learn in pop warner ball. So anyone one who argues that our defense is properly coached and it's the players faults is just confirming there ignorance for the true game of football.

By the way, the next football player in my family is playing QB. He's not as explosive as the first, but he's playing really well. We'll see if we can get 2 Div 1 players before the 3rd is ready, because the 3rd is gonna be a monster if he wants to be, should be better than the 1st who is excellent.
