Go Canes!!!

 

[Go Canes!!]

I was there. Top Canes moment of my life.

 

[rccollins]

That season also included a 25 point loss (same differential as this year’s loss to Clemson). Just sayin’...lol!

 

[Houcane]

Best game I've ever watched !!!

28-3, on opening night, to the gator.

Imagine how many times Howard would have been fired on this board that night.

What a game. Me and my old man there in section W. I was 13

Remember it like it was yesterday. Watched it from my high chair in the kitchen when I was 5 months old.

I was there. 12 years old. The walk back to the car was crazy.

Section XX. Age 19. A ridiculously fun 24 hours. No stories that can be publicly disclosed.

I was also there. What a game to have seen. I saw so many legendary games in the 80s in that stadium, considering we had season tickets for the Canes and Dolphins.....I started going in 1981. First ever game was the Miller 50+ yard field goal to beat the Gator. Year after, got to go to the Mud Bowl AFC Championship game against the Jets.

Even if Miami football eventually takes a turn towards contention again, none of what happened in the 80s will be replicated. The game's too different now.

That AFC Championship game was the last game I attended in the OB. Froze my *** off. AJ Duhe singlehandedly won that game. Moved away in Nov of ‘83 and had to watch our first Cane NC win on TV.

First college football game I ever watched....fell in love with the Canes right then!

Howard’s resume and experience ***** on Diaz’s up to that point. Also, Miami had absolutely no brand and showed signs of life defeating big programs like Penn State. Clearly, not apples to apples..

But carry on..

 

[Fatboycane]

Every year that goes by, we are further removed from the last of us who got to experience Canes (and Dolphins) games at the OB and that’s a **** shame.

I think my boy Bernie improved more than any player in UM history From the opener to the NC game. Dude was a brilliant football mind and his leadership as a young guy was off the charts. Great turnaround

 

[skillydoo]

Remember watching that my SR year of HS. Growing up in Oklahoma with OU **** being forced upon me, I admired the Huskers. Phenomenal game. Left that game with a new admiration for the Canes. Then when JJ came over from OSU that sealed the deal for me.

 

[ajkreider]

Mixed feelings.

Great memories of a great game.

Saddened by the fact that we have to live so far in the past for great memories.
