Back in 92, I called Coach Erickson's office and got his secretary. I was 19 at the time and was about to go see my first Canes game in Blacksburg in a few weeks. She said, I can do you one better, Coach Erickson is in his office and I can put you through. I said okay. Coach got on the phone, I told him who I was and where I was from (SC) and wished him and the team luck in the season and told him I was excited to be going to see my first Canes game live in Blacksburg. He said well if we can get our offense going we will kick their ***. We chuckled and I said goodbye.
Coolest thing ever happened next. After we beat the crap out of Va Tech, my dad got us down on the field. I got my hat signed by Gino Torretta (still have it to this day) and bumped into coach. Told him that I appreciated talking to him and I mentioned SC. He said, Bart, right? Did we kick their *** or what? Then he signed my hat and posed for a pic with me.
Class act and remembered talking with me several weeks before.
I cannot imagine Manny doing this.
