Morgan 100%

Coach Sean Payton says LB Dan Morgan is "100 percent" healthy and did "very well" in the Saints' minicamps.

Morgan, 30, has just 24 tackles since 2005, but could give Scott Shanle a run at weak-side linebacker. The Saints are looking for more playmaking at that position. Morgan would still be an awful bet to make it through 16 games

Canes go on road trip..

Well, looks like no more milkshakes at Alex Rodriguez Park.

The `Canes saw their slim hopes of hosting an NCAA regional end when they lost 10-1 Friday to Boston College in the ACC tournament. Barring a miracle, UM will have to hit the road for the postseason. Expect the Hurricanes to grab a No. 2 seed in the regional they are placed.

All is not lost.

Remember last year? The Hurricanes were the overall No. 1 seed and handed perhaps the toughest four-team regional. Grabbing a No. 2 couldn't be any more difficult than what they faced last year. It's likely they will travel to a site hosted by an SEC team, possibly the Florida Gators. There's also a chance they could be paired with the champion from a weaker conference, such as East Carolina in Conference USA.
