Out with the old and in with the new!
In his first year at the helm, University of Miami head coach Gino DiMare released the Hurricanes' 2019 baseball schedule Thursday.
"We always play one of the toughest schedules in the country year in and year out, and this season is no different," DiMare said. "The ACC is consistently one of the top conferences in all of college baseball. Add in Florida and some of the other teams we play from across the state that are competing for conference championships and it should be a challenging schedule. I know our players and staff are looking forward to it."
Miami opens its inaugural season under the direction of DiMare on Feb. 15 with the opener of a three-game series against Rutgers (Feb. 15-17).
The Hurricanes' home schedule also includes series with Georgia Tech (March 8-10), NC State (March 22-24), Florida State (April 5-7), Virginia Tech (April 26-28) and Duke (May 16-18), among others.
Miami's road schedule includes trips to Florida (Feb. 22-24), North Carolina (March 15-17), Pittsburgh (March 29-31), Virginia (April 12-14), Louisville (April 18-20) and Wake Forest (May 10-12).
The Canes will host a fall game against FAUon Saturday, Oct. 27 at 1 p.m. To view Miami's 2019 schedule, click HERE.
The Hurricanes bring back All-ACC right-handed pitcher Evan McKendry and 2018 Freshmen All-Americans Freddy Zamora, Daniel Federman and Isaac Quiñones. Miami's incoming recruiting class has been ranked in the top 10 by both Baseball Americaand D1Baseball.com.
I would be 1st but I banned myself.

When’s the last time U saw a Canes kickoff return like that opener, Solar?!? I don’t know if I should thank you for the memories... more bummed out now about the last 15 years and current state of affairs than I’ve been in years. Dam there used to be some beautiful ball played in the OB
Posted by: DallasTX Cane | October 18, 2018 at 10:24 PM
I'm calling it now: Canes baseball will be undefeated! They will give up ZERO runs and beat their opponents 145-0 over the season. DiMare will be the game changer and difference maker.
That is all.

"In The Pool" is a series highlighting the University of Miami swimming & diving student-athletes. Next up is one of Miami's junior standouts, Manon Viguier.
My hometown is Bordeaux, France, where I grew up.
I came to Miami to have the opportunity to swim and study at the same time. Also, because the weather is nice.
The ACC Swimming & Diving Championships are the most exciting meet of the year.
My favorite quote right now is, "be patient, sometimes you have to go through the worst to get the best."
My goal this season is to qualify for NCAA's, for our team to get in the top eight at ACC's, and maybe to make it onto the French National team.
My coach is Andy Kershaw. He is one of the best coaches I have ever had. He is very passionate about his job. He is like a second dad to me. He's not just a coach that tells you to do this or that, he gets into your personal interests, too, and he listens to you. It's not just about swimming, but it's also about personal life and he can understand that.
I will never forget our 400 free relay at ACC's last year (spring 2018), because it was just so fun, we had the whole team cheering for us, and we were just having fun and dancing behind the blocks.
People would be surprised to know I speak four languages fluently: French, English, German, and Spanish.

DTX,welcome
That was one of the most amazing refuse to lose games I ever witnessed.
Everybody booing Berlin when the second half started, then it sounded like Jesus Christ was taking a knee ar the end.
You could almost feel Berlin and Taylor willing the Canes on.
Little did we know what was right around the corner.

I’ll never forget watching that game on the ole boob tube Solar. Same emotions U just described. Hard to believe I was getting negative on the Canes in that timeframe because we lost like... 1 game! Great teams with great players and great coaching I now know. 2000-2002 just had me/us SO spoiled. I’d give anything (almost) for a season like ‘03 again!
Posted by: DallasTX Cane | October 18, 2018 at 10:45 PM
DTX,we deserve better for sure it has been brutal.
I had to get off the blog for almost all of Goldens run, I couldnt take seeing good guys here backbiting each other, because the team was crap, it didnt make any sense to me.Frig Randy and Al anyway.
Just thinking
Didnt Berlin throw like 20 interceptions that season and we still won anyway?
Posted by: solarcane | October 18, 2018 at 11:05 PM
Can’t it be countered that when he opened it up a little with Malik the result was completion, completion...fluttering duck picked off and returned into Virginia territory?
Not disagreeing with you, just curious.
Posted by: Go Canes!! | October 18, 2018 at 02:04 PM
The only way to keep Malik from throwing picks is to not throw.
The only way to keep Perry from throwing picks is to not throw.
We will have to live with some turnovers.
Run, run, pass, shank or run, run, run shank has the same effect.
But if we do that, the offense is pure bust. Mixing it up and having a robust short passing game FROM THE OPENING DRIVE to the final drive gives us a chance at the boom.
But we can be more creative running.
The empty jet motion has been successful. Where are the follow up plays to that? Why not run the same concept with 10 personnel and have two backs, one in the slot?
This conceding defeat when we have stuff that works and is abandoned really gets me. It is getting to the players too..

Made me curious Solar, had to look it up...
2003 (JUNIOR): Completed 211 of 352 attempts for 2,419 yards and 12 touchdowns while throwing 17 interceptions...compiled a pass efficiency rating of 119.3...his completion percentage ranked seventh in Miami history for single-season completion percentage... his 211 completions ranks seventh in Miami for single-season completions...his 2,419 yards ranks 11th in Miami history for single-season passing yards...was particularly effective on third downs, completing 69 of 100 pass attempts (69%) for 706 yards converting 45 of 97 situations into first downs (46.4%) and throw-ing for two touchdowns
Posted by: DallasTX Cane | October 18, 2018 at 11:28 PM

The optics and the high profile nature of the case. I've seen UM's association with Adidas guy a couple of times this week already in various articles leading up to the trial.
I'm sure UM is fine, but you never know what can happen on a witness stand. The star witness in this case is facing 20 years, which is absurd by the way for a "pay-to-play" scheme.

Speaking of Berlin, put that dude under center and he struggled but put him the shotgun the guy was like magic. Problem was when we ran a pro style, which he just wasn't good at but we ran it anyway. Only when where getting beat or some third downs did we run out of the shotgun.

I remember that game in the OB like it was yesterday. Clearly vivid in my memory even when a lot of other things aren't. I was hugging people in the stands and predicting the win to total strangers. They though I was cray-cray. That was the FIRST game I started the changing seats thing. And it worked. At least ONCE it worked!

For whatever reason, I keep trying to come up with name for the type of offense we're running. Sack and Shank sounds good but not terribly accurate. SSS or Sack Stuff Shank is more apt but still not right. SSHS Sack Stuff Holding Shank better but not memorable. The best so far: RIP (Run Incomplete Punt) or SOS (Sack Overthrow Shank).
Ideally both should have another R in there, but who's counting
Posted by: Old Skool | October 19, 2018 at 10:49 AM
Old Skool - LOL. Both RIP and SOS are perfect.

I really don't know what is going on, but IMHO to bench Perry at this point seems like a big mistake. But I will defer to CMR who has about 30 years of major coaching experience, and is probably one of the most winning active FBS coaches in college football.
But, there is one development that I will be watching closely next season - the performance of Jack Allison. Allison, a former Cane, is now Heisman candidate Will Grier's backup at West Virginia. If Allison outperforms Perry, Weldon or Williams next season, then it is evident that CMR/CJR need to take a hard look in the mirror and make some changes.

Just realized something with the struggling Run Offense
Going back to Spring practice, when reporters ask Mork about his run offense his reply was something like "I'm concentrating more on the passing game" since passing offense takes more time to perfect" something close to that. Mork basically neglected the run game during the spring

Ahhh the Brock Berlin UF game. We were kinda hard on Brock because he was after Kenny D. But he was light years better than Wright, Freeman, Harris, Morris and the Trick or Treater. Broke up with my BF after that game haha - he was a Gator fan and thought it was funny to call me during the game screaming; however, when the tide turned and we won he would not answer his phone. Meh. Only gator I ever dated.

I wonder what the NCAA will do now that the NBA will offer the elite players a way to grow for a year and get paid.
Do they nothing and see how it plays out or take the initiative and let the players get paid?
If players can get paid they would stay in college. I know a few NBA guys and they told me over the years that college was more fun than being a pro, but money talks.
Posted by: HillviewCane | October 19, 2018 at 04:27 PM
The dream is the show. Very few 17 year olds are going to have the perspective to do anything other than grab the money now. Particularly, if playing against NBA developmentals improves your game faster than college. I would probably grab the cash too. You're always an injury away from career over.
Nonetheless, it should make the college game a lot more interesting.
Posted by: Old Skool | October 19, 2018 at 04:49 PM

They should just pay the players in college off an NBA contract and the NCAA could profit share with the NBA.

I saw that as well.
It made me wonder why we don’t see that concept with Malik and a more favorable route. But Malik has hit passes like the one always threw so maybe you don’t have to change the routes.
Even if he panics and runs it’s a good way to get him some room to get yardage with his legs.
These are the plays that make me wonder about early onset Alzheimer’s or dementia in the offensive coaches room.

Back to the Future
or how were gold to rack up a few NCs in no time.
A post on Canespace from 10 years ago today
"In a year like this, yes, there's talk about winning the ACC because we're not at NC levels yet.
But by 2010 there won't be any talk of winning the ACC. Seriously, just think about how dominant this offense and defense will be in 2 years. There will be some tough games here and there...VT, FSU maybe UNC, although Butch's best players are all seniors and juniors, maybe some random year for UVA or NCST or something but really, the focus will be dominating every game on the road to a NC.
That's how I see it at least."

Stupid announcer cliches that are outright lies.
Hes deceptively quick
No he is exaclty as fast as he is.
They are better than their record indicates
Their record states exactly how many games they won or lost
He gives 110 percent
Really?
He runs downhill.
Maybe if hes playing at home at West Virginia but I doubt it
He has all day to throw it.
Not if the grounds crew has anything to do with it.
They have their backs against the wall.
They are out of bounds.
He made a circus catch.
Everybody here has been to the circus.
Nobody here has seen a wide receiver catch a knife, hatchet, or a bowling pin.
I won't go into the even more annoying Captain Obvious cliches like
The pass was very catchable
Thats a costly turnover
They laid him out on that hit.
They have to take care of the football

We are perfect candidates, to run the flexbone. We don't to worry about throwing the ball no more than 10 to 12 times a game, so our pitiful offensive line won't be asked to pass block much. Now we can get Linegard more involved. We just need to recruit more RB's and less Wr.

I once gave 110 %.
Pulled a hamstring, hurt my back, got a horrid migraine and had to sit out for a month.
I ain't doing that again.

What pains me most is that only IF we would have beaten lowly Virginia we would actually be in the National conversation for the rest of the season and very possibly, if we kept winning, a top 10 team with an ACC title shot and a possible playoff dream. Instead we just keep living this nightmare.

UVA's win over Miami was their FIRST win over a ranked team in over four years. IJS

Ricky Brumfield joined the Virginia staff in January of 2018 as the program's special teams coordinator. The 2018 season will be Brumfield's 18th as a collegiate coach.
Brumfield comes to UVA after spending the past two seasons at the University of Texas at San Antonio where he was the Roadrunners' special teams coordinator and coached the team's tight ends.
In 2016, his first season with the Roadrunners, Brumfield helped guide the team to six wins and the program's first-ever bowl game, the 2016 Gildan New Mexico Bowl. His special teams set several school records, including season marks for touchbacks (27), points (79), extra points (43) and punting average (42.0).
This season, Brumfield saw freshman placekicker Jared Sackett earn freshman All-America honors from USA Today. Sackett made a UTSA school-record 19 field goals on 22 attempts. He also set the school mark with 80 points. Sackett was a semifinalist for the Lou Groza Award presented to the nation's top place kicker.
UTSA punter Yannis Routsas was a semifinalist for the 2017 Ray Guy Award presented to the nation's top punter. UTSA was one of just three schools in 2017 to have both its placekicker and punter as semifinalists for those two national awards.
During the 2017 season, the Roadrunners went 6-5 with four of those losses coming by a total of 17 points. In the current NCAA FBS football statistics, UTSA ranks No. 6 in the nation in punt return defense. This season the Roadrunners allowed just eight punt returns for a total of 23 yards (2.88 ypr.). UTSA was No. 39 in the nation in kickoff defense by allowing 19.61 yards per return.
His Roadrunner special teams forced five fumbles during the 2016 season and two in 2017.
Brumfield came to UTSA from Western Kentucky, where he spent three seasons as special teams coordinator and cornerbacks coach. He helped the Hilltoppers to a combined 28 victories, including a pair of bowl wins, during his tenure.
In 2015, WKU won the Conference USA title and capped off a 12-2 season with a 45-35 victory against USF in the Miami Beach Bowl, while finishing the season with a No. 24 final ranking. Garrett Schwettman, the school's career record holder for points, extra points and field goals, earned first-team all-conference honors, while kick returner Kylen Towner made the second team and cornerback Prince Charles Iworah and long snapper Nolan Dowling were named honorable mention.
In his first two seasons with the Hilltoppers, the defense and special teams were among the conference's best in nearly every major statistical category. He tutored five all-conference performers, including cornerbacks Wonderful Terry and Cam Thomas, who played for the NFL's Buffalo Bills in 2015.

BC is an important game for CMR tenure he needs a win.
1. He chose to start Malik, a loss will create more problems within the team, alumni, fan base, and recruits.
2.He can’t afford another ACC loss or we will not win the Coastal
3. The team needs a win

Watching Tyler Murray play for Oklahoma.
Don't give a crap what plays get called for him, that kid can make something out of nothing every time he touches the ball.
Throws an beautifully accurate ball when he has time, takes off, makes people miss and never takes a hit when plays break down.
That kid is an amazing, amazing talent.

All these facts, Soup! It hurts reading how that performance in the UVA game knocked the Canes out of the polls and the national conversation, and how inept the Canes offense is in scoring 13 points against UVA.
The Canes must turn this around and run the table. I am not optimistic about Rosier at QB1, but I will just have to settle for another season of mediocre QB play and hope for the best

That's what so frustrating. Miami regressed to 20 points a game in 2006 because Larry Coker literally didn't have the offensive personnel to run a passing offense. Butch Davis' 45 man 1997 squad had more depth on offense than Coker.
Fast forward to 2018, and we have four and five star players throughout the offense. Yet we cannot manage more than Run, Run, Pass, Punt?
