20 Years Ago Today

Advertisement
Best game I’ve ever been to. My favorite game I’ve ever been to.

True story I had half my body painted orange and half my body painted green and it was so hot it melted the green paint into my skin and my skin was green for a week.
 
And how in TF were we not in the BCS Nat’l Championship Game after taking down #1 & #2 in the nation that season, along with being ranked #1 or #2 in EVERY FCKING POLE at season’s end.....u know what, let me get off my soap box from old wounds. It would be absolutely marvelous if we can repeat history. I mean, I may shed a tear if we beat Clemson. It’s been so long since we’ve been “back”, and I can’t handle another teaser this yr. 2020 has been a personally f’d up yr for the kid, and would love nothing more to get a W here. Lol.

I was in the Orange Bowl that day. The humidity was brutal and the concession stands ran out of bottled water. The Orange Bowl exploded after the touchdown to Shockey. The crowd noise almost caused an earthquake after Matt Munyon missed the kick at the buzzer. I remember the scoreboard said Wide Right III. It was unforgettable day. That day was the birth of the Second Cane Dynasty.

Certainly a great win and should have led to a title shot against the Sooners but we all know what happened. That being said, that was not “the birth of the second Cane dynasty.” We won a title and played for another with Butch’s guys and the program started to decline with Larry. 83-92 was a dynasty, 4 NCs, played for 3 or 4 others in a decade. That is a dynasty, as good a 10 year run in college football history.

That Miami team started the season ranked #5. We're probably more like the '99 team. If we can give them a game like we gave Penn State that year then I'll be happy (I could totally see this team bust coverage to give up the game winning TD too).

Except the long reception down the sideline after a bogus call and I’ll be happy...
 
WHATTTTTT?????

Today is the 20th anniversary of what was the biggest win for as long as I have watched the Canes.

When Shockey housed that pass and gave us the lead, it was like an innocent man being released from prison after 30 years. By far my favorite win.

Now we face the number 1 team again? On the same day? This is serendipity. We have to win this game.
 
Well the post was made earlier this week. So not quite same day. But same week.

King to Mallory tonight for the dub.

One of the all time greatest endings in the rivalry. From Davenport’s fumble to Dorsey’s final drive, the last 2:30 minutes almost killed me. Still watch that final drive once in a while.

Dorsey to Moss
Dorsey to Shockey
Dorsey to Wayne
Dorsey to Shockey
Dorsey to Moss
Dorsey to Shockey TD

I need to watch it again. Wasn't one of those middle Shockey catches a 4th down catch in the middle of the field?

We knew we were back. But we showed the world we were back that day. Dorsey to Shockey, #1 goes down.

I expect a repeat of circumstances this weekend for the 20th anniversary of that beautiful moment.

I remember my head throbbing for afters after that game. I’m sure, leaving club Space about 5am and going straight to the canal by The OB to start tailgating played a huge factor as well!! What a weekend!!

I remember UM fans tossing bottles at FSWho fans right after the game as they tried to run from the OB and mount buses.

I very pound that I remembered that Canes are playing some wild animal team. See I was prepping for trip to target range to break in a couple back up ARs and I thought, dang these little bullets could stop any big game and boom - Canes are playing.
