CORAL GABLES, Fla. Taylor Gabriel Jersey . -- New Miami Hurricanes coach Mark Richt wore a Panama hat and long sleeves during his teams first fall practice Thursday, assuring max protection from the sweltering sun.No novice in South Florida, Richt is familiar with the demanding climate. The suns hard on the skin, and Hurricanes fans are hard on their coach.Richts ready for both.The former Hurricanes quarterback is back in Coral Gables and has less than a month to get Miami ready for its season opener Sept. 3 against Florida A&M.Day one. Everybody is fired up, Richt said. I wake up every morning thinking how can we do everything excellent as a coaching staff. Thats kind of where I am right now.Richt led the Hurricanes through a taxing 2 1/2-hour workout on a humid afternoon with a high temperature of 92.Everybody held up pretty good, he said. There were a few guys who cramped up a little bit, but here we are in South Florida in the middle of the day. Its pretty typical. Its a grueling practice in this type of temperature, but thats what we need to get in condition to finish games.Inability to finish has been one of Miamis many problems in recent years. Hurricanes fans were spoiled by five national championships from 1983 to 2001, but now theyre restless because their team hasnt won a bowl game since 2006 and hasnt had a 10-win season since 2003.Last year Miami went 8-5 and fired coach Al Golden at midseason after a 58-0 loss to Clemson. Richt, who lettered with the Hurricanes in 1978-82, rejoined them after being fired at Georgia, where he won two Southeastern Conference titles in 15 years but none since 2005.He inherits a roster led by junior quarterback Brad Kaaya, who has thrown for more than 3,000 yards each of the past two years. But the Hurricanes must be much better defensively and up front to become a contender in the Atlantic Coast Conferences Coastal Division, which theyve never won.Its not all on me, Kaaya said. Of course I have a big impact in a lot of what happens around here, but at the same time it takes a lot more than just me and coach Richt. It takes help from everyone, even the young guys, even the freshmen. A lot of guys have to grow up now. It cant just be the scholarship guys. Everyone has to contribute.Richt pushed so hard at the first practice that even the star quarterbacks jersey was soaked afterward.I had to run after practice, actually, Kaaya said, because I threw a pick in a seven-on-seven. I know Twitter is going to go crazy.Richt didnt specifically mention turnovers when asked about his message to fans, but pledged the Hurricanes will play hard, physical, disciplined football.As for the fresh start that Thursday represented, he said he didnt think of it that way.Ive been here eight months, he said. Ive been through a lot of practices already. I worked with them all summer. This is the third time we installed the offense. So it didnt feel brand new.But I love being here, I can tell you that.

Here are his mid-season NBA awards. MVP: (KEVIN DURANT-Thunder) - Has been sensational this season and more importantly, the most consistent player in the league. Considering that his team has been without star guard Russell Westbrook and with the free agent departure of sharpshooter Kevin Martin, hes had to carry the majority of the load to not only keep his team afloat but more importantly, at an elite level. http://www.custombearsjersey.com/custom-...large-296t.html .Y. -- Leading 3-0 with only 11:25 left, the Colorado Avalanche committed a seemingly meaningless penalty to give the New York Islanders a power play. ATLANTA -- Braves ace Julio Teheran doesnt mind missing out on a winning decision when Atlanta squeaks out a rare home victory.Whenever I go out there, I just try to do my job and give the team a chance to win, just concentrate on that, he said. If I get the win Im happy with that, and if I dont get the win and the team still wins, Im happy with that.Chase dArnaud singled with two outs in the ninth inning off Gonzalez Germen and Atlanta beat the Colorado Rockies 1-0 on Sunday to avoid a three-game sweep.The Braves are just 14-36 at Turner Field and have baseballs worst overall record, but they snapped a four-game skid to Colorado.Following dominant outings through the seventh by Teheran and Rockies starter Jon Gray, the Braves used four relievers and the Rockies one before Germen (2-1) gave up Ender Inciartes leadoff single in the ninth.Anthony Recker bunted over Inciarte, who advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on dArnauds liner to left field.Teheran scattered three hits, walked one and struck out five. Pitching for the majors weakest offense, the two-time All-Star remained winless with a 2.90 ERA in 11 home starts.Teheran didnt allow a baserunner until Tony Wolters singled in the fourth. That was all Colorado could muster until Charlie Blackmon singled with two outs in the sixth.Daniel Delscaso was the third Rockie to get into scoring position with a double in the seventh. Cristhian Adames, the next batter, drew a four-pitch walk before Brandon Barnes grounded out.Conditions were tough with a 102-degree heat index.It was getting me at the end, but I was really focused in the game to give my team a chance to win, Teheran said.

Gray, who allowed five hits and three walks in a career-high 115 pitches, stranded two runners in the seventh with his fifth strikeout. The rookie has a 3.11 ERA and 64 strikeouts in his last 10 games.The first couple of innings I was kind of trying to find my groove, but then I got going, Gray said. It was fun (going against Teheran). I was glad to keep us in the game.DArnaud went 3 for 5 with three singles. He credited Jace Peterson with drawing a walk to set up his at-bat.I swung right through the first pitch, a change-up, dArnaud said. I was early, so I had to make an adjustment from there. I wanted to shorten my swing up. I think because I was taking my time loading, I was able to react a little quicker with the fastball inside and square it up.TOUGH WEEKENDBraves 1B Freddie Freeman, who had a cancerous mole removed from his upper back earlier in the week, struck out four times, stranded three runners and went 0 for 11 in series.IN THE DIRT AGAINTeherans wild pitch in the sixth was the Braves ninth in the series.
