A Canes fan: When and Why for you?

[clg003]

Well the primary reason is I like college football and Im not a gray rekard...

Not that you need any other reason other than that, but Im a lauderhill kid whose parents had season tickets.

‘93 Sugar bowl, that’s about the time my memories turned on, after we lost to Alabama, 7 year old me learned for the first time about the offseason. When I realized there was no game next week I was devastated.

When Sean and Buck went to UM from Gulliver, I started rooting for the canes. Then became a student a year later. I was a Michigan fan growing up.

Going on 51 years now.

Two older brothers: one a Gator for life the other a Nole for life. So my choice was simple as that.

Saw the Canes beat the Univ. of Tampa Spartans and the great Freddy Solomon in 1974 at the old Tampa Stadium and was hooked for good

45 years. First took notice of UM in 1980 when the Hurricanes were ranked and made the Peach Bowl. 9 wins in 1980, 9 wins in 1981, and then the National Championship in 1983. Pretty much sealed where I was going to college.

Became a fan in 1987 when I was a kid. Loved the swagger, the attitude, the winning.

Moved to Miramar in 1974, dad got transferred. About 77 or 78, when I began to really pay attention to college football. Miami was the home team and my team.. Remember when Saban was hired, then Schnelly. Said after that Peach Bowl win to my mom, Miami is coming up!

71 while Fran Curci was the coach. As a student i remember a lot of the players from that era had a few classes with the like of chuck forman burgess Owens a roommate of mine later tutored Ruben carter. All great memories of the orange bowl. Best years of my younger life were at the U.

561 all day. but started in 07 and never looked back or around for another team even though those seasons where borderline torture, nobody should ever witness their team get blowed in the final game at they’re legendary stadium. Favorite earliest moment was getting fooled by that #1 ranked 08 recruiting class lol. Knew I had an obsession when I bet a friend $50 back in high school that my canes would beat uf in 2013. Didn’t have a dollar to my name but the boys came through for me

Grandparents moved to Miami in the early 40’s, grandfather was a carpenter and there was lots of work in Miami. My mom and her family lived in Allapattah and went to Jackson.
Everyone ended up working at Pan Am or eastern. None of them went to college, especially not Miami, but it was their adopted team and has been ever since.
