Freddi is horrible..He takes out starters too soon when they're pitching and feeling good, pulls them too late when they're struggling. I think his g a y passion for Pinto should've had him canned at the end of last year!
Marlins firing Fredi was premature, unjust (with poll); plus Rudy Gay on Heat radar?, U.S. soccer, tennis marathon & more
[Find "Futblog: World Cup'" in post just below this in the blog. Friday's four matches bring first round to close and set 16-team field. Also, join us at Twitter.com/gregcote]. FREDI GONZALEZ CALLED OUT: THE POLL: I guess the headline above -- "Marlins firing Fredi is premature, unjust" -- so...
By far the worst draft since the Wanstache days. Anybody who thinks otherwise is completely clueless and just love to believe the crap this organization spews to you every year. None of you morons that are backing Ireland up now have a friggin clue who any of our picks were this year. Instead of asking about peoples moms he should of been asking more football related questions. This draft has set us back ladies. Jared Oderick, HAHAHA thats funny!!
Michael Beasley's Heat future (with poll); in defense of Jeff Ireland (with poll); 'Run Ricky Run' a letdown & more
SHOULD BEASLEY BE A PART OF HEAT'S FUTURE?: Miami's season is done and so the real season is close to starting. The Big Summer. The major remodeling. All eyes will be on whether Dwyane Wade re-signs and what big gun (Chris Bosh?) is hired to partner up with him. But Michael Beasley (pictured) ...
I was at the game and was very impressed overall. McGee actually looked pretty good to me. Got beat a couple times but was with his man most of the time, had a few pass breakups, almost had a great pick and was tackling very well ( stopping the run ), so i dont really know what your talking about when u say he would want to delete the Spring Game. The guy that was getting torched on a consistent basis was the walk-on #39.
Lot of scoring in UM Spring Game
TRAZ POWELL STADIUM -- If you took your eyes off the field Saturday at Traz Powell Stadium for even a second, you might have missed a lot. This year's Spring Football Game turned out to be about as action-packed as any played before it -- chock full of scoring from start to finish. In the end,...
I think Javarris James will get drafted and actually have a better pro career than he did at the U. He has amazing vision and cut back ability, can catch the ball out of the backfield and has decent speed... Manny i know you love to under estimate him but you'll see, just like i told you before the season that he would start when you were giving Cooper all the praise...By the way whats up with the 40 times. I heard Sam Shields ran a 4.27
News & notes from Pro Day, final spring practice
CORAL GABLES -- It was a long first day back for me out at Greentree Practice Field after spending the better part of the last two weeks covering the Marlins. Here are a few news and notes from Pro Day and the final practice of the spring before Saturday's Spring Game... A group of a dozen Hu...
SI is reporting that Anderson has chosen the Canes...Is he a Corner or Safety?
Canes could still add two high-end recruits
With spring football in full swing, a forgotten storyline playing out behind the scenes these days in Coral Gables is that the Hurricanes are still in the running to add two of the nation's top 2010 recruits: cornerback Latwan Anderson (5-11, 185) and mammoth offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson....
Arthur Brown leaves the U...Disappointed that he couldn't make it here..Wasn't given much of chance to play though so i guess u can say this is not a suprise.
McCartney: "I can't wait until Wednesday"
Miramar High receiver Ivan McCartney has been hiding out since his trip to the University of Miami this past weekend, trying to avoid the pressure and the questions from people who want to know if he's decided between the team he grew up rooting for (Miami), the team with his former teammates (W...
Rolle definitely seems disappointed and losing 3 big time local players to Lousville does not bode well. 2 of which are big needs (OL, DL) Hurtt, our ex-recruiting coordinator is wasting no time picking up while Shannon's slipping up.
One more reason im very scared we will be losing many more NW players in the future to Lousville, Florida and FSU is because Rolle is disappointed with Shannon...Look at this quote from the article... "People assume the best players at Nothwestern go to Miami. And to me, thats how i believe it should be," Rolle said.
Northwestern coach: "There is no rift with UM"
Miami Northwestern, the elite high school football program in Miami-Dade County, has long been a pipeline to the University of Miami. And despite what other "sources" may be saying, Bulls coach Billy Rolle, a longtime friend of Hurricanes coach Randy Shannon, told me Wednesday afternoon that won...
damn...thats terrible
Brother of Canes LB Futch shot and killed
Our Susan Miller Degnan confirmed through the University of Miami that a brother of linebacker Jordan Futch was shot and killed. The details surrounding his death have not been verified, but Susan and I wanted to send our condolences as well as Futch's former high school coach Mark Guandolo. "Jo...
I have to agree with nemo....and i've said it before myself..."excellent job recruiting talent to Miami" c'mon Manny, are we just throwing the word excellent around now? We haven't had an excellent recruit yet! Lets not kidd ourselves, the basketball team is garbage top to bottom all the way from the head coach down to our "excellent recruits"...Wake me up when spring football gets started!!
McDermott eager to make impact
If there is one area the Miami Hurricanes absolutely needed to address in the 2010 recruiting class it was offensive line. With three starters (Jason Fox, Matt Pipho, A.J. Trump) headed out the door and only four players (Orlando Franklin, Harland Gunn, Brandon Washington and Joel Figueroa) retu...
Brighter future than our football team?? are u kidding me??
Is that because u believe the hype that Frank Haith is a great recruiter...The garbage that they feed us every year...Let me enlighten you guys real quick...If you're getting good recruits in basketball it shows that very same year...The big time players in college basketball are Freshman and Sophomores...Haith has been here awhile now and it's the same story every year...Rip through a soft as non-conference schedule and get ripped in conference..sometimes good enough to make it to the tournament and get rocked in the 1st round..Im sick of hearing about all these great recruits that never play or never live up to the hype..Theres a reason we're not on ESPN and local TV...Teams that are - actually have great recruits that ball as freshman and sophomores and go pro...but go ahead and feed into it when Manny or Shandel tell u about our next great recruit that ends up averaging 5 pts a game...good luck with the courtside blogs this year my friends..ill be back when football starts!!
Courtside blog: UM-Virginia Tech
BLACKSBURG, VA. -- Just got to my courtside seat for tonight's ACC showdown between the 23rd ranked Canes (15-1, 1-1 ACC) and Virginia Tech (12-2, 0-1). It's been a long day of travel. I left my house at 4:30 a.m. and after two flights I arrived in Charlottesville, where I picked up a rental car...
Nesbitt as first team QB is a joke!
Four Canes land on ACC First Team
Congratulations are in order for the four Hurricanes who made the All-ACC First Team Monday. They are cornerback Brandon Harris, defensive end Allen Bailey, left tackle Jason Fox and kicker Matt Bosher. Linebackers Darryl Sharpton and Colin McCarthy both made the Second Team. The four first team...
Pannunzio shouldn't be joking with anybody. I'll be suprised if he's still coaching here next year. I was suprised he made it to this year.
Special teams looking to improve
CORAL GABLES _ Special teams coach Joe Pannunzio and offensive coordinator Mark Whipple had an interesting conversation after last week's 52-17 win against Virginia. It went sort of like this: Whipple: Man, you helped me a bunch. Pannunzio: How's that? Whipple: You scared the hell out of me. ...
Shandel, why you throwing C-Mac under the bus? At least he was being honest. All the players care about the outcome of that game whether they admit it or not.
A public service announcement from Randy Shannon: Don't text and drive
CORAL GABLES _The real story surrounding Saturday's UM-UNC game is what will take place a few hours earlier on Tobacco Road. Georgia Tech could win the ACC Coastal Division if it wins at Duke a couple miles away on the same day. If the Yellow Jackets lose, the Hurricanes remain alive in the rac...
I was at the Clemson game and wasn't happy with the empty seats either, but i also think it had to do with the fact the Dolphins played there the very next day and these days people dont have the loot to attend both games so im guessing a majority attended the Fins game. This week however the Fins are playing away so i hope to see more than 30,000 tommorow...LETS DO IT CANE FANS, stop asking what channel the game is on and get your as out there...I'm a cat with a suspended license and livivng pay check to pay check so i dont wanna hear excuses!!
Injury report for Virginia: James, Phillips probable
The Miami Hurricanes still have a significant number of injuries they are dealing with. But this week it looks like at least a couple guys could be coming back against Virginia. Running back Javarris James, who missed the Wake Forest game with a lower extremity injury, has been listed as probabl...
my bad with the spelling today^^^ im sick of hearing stupid ish after 1 loss and im officially hot and typing away...lol
Miami offense trying to avoid the F-word
CORAL GABLES _ It's probably the worst thing you can call an offense. Worse than boring. Worse than predictable. Worse than anything fans said about Patrick Nix the last two years. After UM was smacked around last week by the Virginia Tech defense, there were whispers of if the Hurricanes we...
If we have a squad of 8 recievers that can start at any other program in the nation, then i see no problem with usung the pass to set up the run. It's our strength and teams that win play within their strengths. Who gives a ish waht some reporter thinks. Stick to the gameplan, we'll be just fine!!

i get your point though...as much as he says theres competition everywhere, he does have his favorites - especially the NW kids
Play from LB Sean Spence has to improve
CORAL GABLES _ People seem to forget linebacker Sean Spence is just a sophomore and still growing as a player. After a freshman season that drew so much praise, Spence has gotten to a somewhat slow start this season. He's taken some heat from fans, as they wonder what happened. UM coach Ra...
Gore was a 3rd stringer his true freshman year..starter every other year he was healthy...relax

He was a freshman all-american game at weak side linebacker last year...so lets go ahead and move him to the strong side...got damn these idiotic coaching decisions get me pissed...good job Lovett!!!

I think they made a mistake. It should be Spence and Mcarthy not Sharpton.
Two `Canes make Butkus list
CORAL GABLES _ Been a while since we've done this, but UM actually has players on a preseason award list. On Monday, linebackers Darryl Sharpton and Sean Spence were named the Butkus Award watch list. The honor goes to the nation's top linebacker. Finalists will be named Nov. 19 and winners w...
I'll take JJ any day of the week over Coop when HEALTHY...There's no way Coop is 205 sorry but every college does this to hype up a player. If he were to go to the NFL combine this coming year, you would find out that he's 5'9 and 185lbs soaking wet!
Top 60 Countdown: No 3, RB Graig Cooper
With the Canes participating in their third closed scrimmage of the fall and school set to begin Wednesday, I figured this was the perfect time to wrap up the countdown of the Top 60 players at Miami. By now, you've figured out who the final three are. Here's why Graig Cooper is No. 3. > What...
Good, now JJ will regain his starting spot which was taken from him while he was hurt and Coop can back him up. JJ, when healthy is by far the better all around back. Anyways it looks like we got quite a few nice RB's back there and they can all get more reps now!
Graig Cooper injury "nothing serious?"
CORAL GABLES _ UM running back Graig Cooper missed Tuesday's practice with an an ankle injury. He wore a protective boot on his right foot, but coach Randy Shannon said the injury is minor. "For sure, he'll be back for the first game," Shannon said. "It's nothing serious." Shannon said he was...
I think it would be better to keep the likes of Robinson, Ojomo and Bailey in on 3rd downs. Really though, im so sick of teams converting 3rd downs on us like it's part of the gameplan.
Top 60 Countdown: No. 46, DE Andrew Smith
Another day, another player to zero in on in our countdown of the Top 60 players at the U. Today we take a look at No. 46 on the list: Defensive end Andrew Smith. The sophomore is another talented young player on UM's defensive line who will see playing time in some capacity this coming season. ...
I know Randy and Co. were very happy when this kid signed. He flew under the radar during the recruiting process but has a chance to be one of the true bright spots of this class. He has that IT factor and i would love to see him at corner this upcoming season.
Top 60 Countdown: No. 58, DB Jamal Reid
As we continue to count down the Top 60 players at The U, we take a look at No. 58: Incoming freshman Jamal Reid, a highly-touted prospect who will likely be among the few new additions to see playing time right away if he lives up to the hype. > What we heard about him on Signing Day '09: Re...
