Good evening Miami fans, hope you are enjoying Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Quite a series, eh?
Well, we should have quite an interesting baseball series this weekend in Gainesville.
The Canes and the Gators have had some epic postseason matchups in the past and this one should be pretty good as well.
First team to two wins goes to Omaha.
Got to love that kind of incentive.
Anyway, I'll be taking over this blog for the next couple of days (unless Manny gets a few more Northwestern kids to commit to Randy Shannon) and will try and keep everyone updated on the doings of the baseball bunch.
My rental car is fueled up, my bag is packed and I'm ready for a few hours of sleep before rolling up the Turnpike first thing in the morning.
I will have updates from Thursday's early afternoon practice in Gainesville from both Miami and Florida and will also be updating my Facebook and Twitter sites throughout the weekend.
Feel free to sign up and join the fun.

Go ahead and sign up for both. Might as well. Don't cost nothing.
Well, that's all I got. See you at the Turkey Lake Service Plaza.

Do you have an idea for the Canes pitching rotation this weekend...
I think Hernandez should pitch on saturday...

George...see U in Gainesville on Friday. Look for the orange Canespace T-shirts in the crowd.
GO CANES, BEAT THE GATORS!

Miami has to be the underdog but not by much. I think Mo is on our side. I am looking for two #2 or NC finshes, baseball and football. First step is baseball. 2001 redux.

So far Morris likes to use the ace in the second game, and let a guy like Whaley take the first stab at the opponents.
It gives Hernandez some excellent live scouting of the batters that way, too.

Manny...
You gotta report on USC being punished by NCAA and what that might mean for Seantrel Henderson. Did he sign his LOI?

George, I know you are not the regular, but maybe you can get some insight from Susan or Manny about the whole conference realignment that might be coming down and how it might affect UM. I know Barry had a couple paragraphs in his article yesterday, but I'd be curious if anyone else has heard anything else. I know its all in flux but anything you could throw on here would be great. Thanks, safe travels and GO CANES!

SH did sign his LOI...about 1-2 months ago. Kid and his Dad were stupid UNLESS they insisted that USC included a contingency that if sanctions came down they would approve a release of his scholly to another D-1 school. Kid hasn't taken a live snap yet and not sure what NCAA guidelines are on that...maybe a special hardship case? In any event, he chose the wrong door and now he has to pay the consequences...serves him right.
