It's Time to start buying those Titans jerseys, Canes Nation — Cam Ward is a Titan.

In the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft on Wednesday night in Green Bay, Ward was picked first overall by the Tennessee Titans. He’s the first Hurricane to snag the No. 1 pick since Russell Maryland did it back in 1991.

The native of West Columbia, Texas, will be remembered in the history of the Hurricanes program for breaking several records by establishing new single-season records for both passing touchdowns and passing yards.

Ward is the first Hurricane player to achieve seven consecutive 300-yard passing games. The 6-foot-2, 223-pound quarterback has thrown for over 300 yards and recorded three touchdowns on nine separate occasions.

With Ward, Miami had one of the best offenses in all of College Football. The Hurricanes ranked among the top nationally in scoring offense with 44.2 points, total offense at 537 yards, yards per play averaging 7.4, and achieved 352 first downs along with a third-down conversion rate of 55.5.

He got everything he wanted. So happy for him. Great football player and seemingly a great person.

But as far as exposure, not making the playoffs is the reason for all that. If Miami makes the playoffs and people get to see him play on that stage then the general public would have known what all Miami fans know. It's always going to be bitter sweet wondering "what if".

had nothing to do with the playoffs.

I was born a Dolphins fan but after 44 years of disappointment, I think I’m eligible to pick a new team to root for. Going to be a Titans fan from now on.

I’ll never be able to truly give up the Fins, but my husband has been fed up with his Giants for a long time now and said he may switch. We’re in Georgia so we loosely follow the Falcons. Thinking we may drive up to Nashville for a game.

I spent a lot is time in Atlanta growing up (my aunt lives in Cumming), but I couldn’t get into rooting for the Falcons for a weird reason - I just thought the team name was too generic!

I was just looking up the teams history- seems they got the name in 1965 after holding a contest for the team name.
Other options were:

“ Bombers, Rebels, Crackers, Confederates, Thrashers (which would later be the name of the city's second NHL team), Lancers, Firebirds, Fireballs, and Thunderbirds."

What a god**** shame the football world missed out on the Atlanta Crackers.

I live in Cumming myself.

That is some fantastic history - I had no idea! What a shame, indeed. Calling them the Dirty Birds feels quite fitting though.

Edit to add - you do know where the Crackers thing comes from though, right? Georgia and Florida Crackers don’t refer to the racial joke! Google the history if you’re not familiar with the term. The short version is that it refers to the original cowboys from the area.

Welcome to the life of a Titans fan. Just an irrelevant franchise to the NFL. The friggin Jags get more love than we do. Hopefully Cam turns that around.

Barely mate, barely

. We Jag fans don’t have it much easier
