Listen, some of u fine & ratchet folks I know a little better than others so I’m partial to such; but, we all have the same commonality…we love Hurricanes Football.
Some on here have been fans for 50+ yrs, others like myself 30+ yrs, & then we have a segment of fans/alumni that never seen us at this point. We’ve bickered and argued via 4 regimes, from coaching philosophies, evaluations, falling short on seasons, uniforms, etc. U name it, we’ve argued.
The divide in our fan base has caused this place to become toxic at times, unbearable, but one thing we’ve all had in common even w/ all the infighting, if a troll ever came on our board, we united to kick their asses off immediately! Y? B/c whether u’re a double alum, an alum, a drop out, have Miami pride, or grew up miles away but fell in love w this small private school, we ALL bleed orange & green.
I apologize to those who I’ve snapped on; from 2020-2025? Shiiiiid, it’s been the worst stretch in my personal life. Whatever could go wrong, did go wrong & this board was my outlet; but, if U annoyed me, then I’m sorry if the other side of my Aquarius came out which is WWIII (& trust WWIII Rell, well not even professional UFC fighters can handle him - true story). However, many of ya’ll uplifted me, & saying thank U doesn’t quite encompass my true feelings.
Perseverance is key; I’ve endure so much & every time it looks like walls were going to come in, I summoned my Samson-like strength to push through those walls. Starting last month, that storm passed in all areas of my life, & then here’s these Canes adding icing on this rebuilt cake. Taking about perseverance? This controversial team that some thought shouldn’t even be here?? Bull ****! Lol
It still doesn’t feel real that the next time I’ll see us play, it won’t be in Week 0, but 2 weeks for a Nat’l Title. I didn’t agree w Mario’s time line, & I still saw frustrating things this season, but this is not the same team from 2022 - mid 2025. I don’t care what happens on the 19th, the fact we have an opportunity to play for #6 while avenging losses to O$U, & the curse of the Fiesta Bowl is something I never imagined THIS season.
What a **** of a ride, & if u’ve been on CIS since Day 1, over 10 yrs, or if u just joined after being a long time lurker, we f’ing deserve this. Helluva ride & I’m glad to be on this ride w u all. It’s Great to Be A Miami Hurricane.
