I went to my 1st Canes game in 1963 a freshman game vs gators we beat them with Bob Biletnikoff at QB vs Steve Spurrier. I was in stands when more Cubans than have ever attended a game came to cheer Carlos Alvarez the Cuban Comet in 69 and hear them roar for every one of his 15 receptions. I was sitting in row 8 in end zone when Flop happened scarring me for life. I was dodging beer bottles thrown at us as we boarded train in Waldo in 78 when we came from 21-3 defecit at half to win 22-21. I sat in row 5 in 80 and could have filled a bushel bag with oranges if I had had a baseball glove to catch them. In 82 the hottest game ever in the 2nd half their vendors below stands wouldn't sell me a drink until gator fans were served 1st. I am proud that in past on another site I was named #1 gator hater. If they were playing a team from Iran I would be rooting for Iran. I hate it when any newbie Canes fan says they hate FSU more because it ain't even close.
Preach.
