If you sat around to watch Matt Patchan commit to the University of Florida a day after Jacorey Harris went 99 yards to beat Shoelace Robinson in the state playoffs...

Born and raised in Northeast Ohio. In 1991 when I was 7 I had a 49ers hat. The kid across the street at a Miami hat. We traded and that's all she wrote. My wedding colors were orange and green, and people tell my wife she's crazy for letting me pick them. She just tells them it's all about The U. My kids live for this **** too. They want this just as bad as me. I've told people for years don't let Miami win again. Like others have said in the ***** nakos thread, the U is a different type of boogie man.

I’ve been around longer than most and have seen the good ,the bad ,the ugly and the horrendous and I’ve prayed that the good Lord would just let the Canes win #6 or at least be relevant again before he called me home. I became a Cane fan in 1958 cause they were the closest team to Key West and then when George Mira got there in ‘61 he was the reason I stayed a Cane fan back then and after him there was a pretty steady stream of Conchs that made their way to the U through the years including Coach Harold Allen who lived across the street from me when he coached the Key West HS team before he moved on to the U which gave me reasons to continue to root for the Canes growing up.

When we beat aTm there was a lot of joy but I felt it was more of showing the CFB world we belonged more than anything else and I was estactic with the team that they shut a lot of people up.

When we beat OSU there was a steady stream of tears that came down cause not only did it move us one game closer to #6 but most of us who were around when # 6 was stolen from us know why that win was so special.

As the Ole Miss game to a close I’m not gonna lie I was in pretty good/bad shape lol cause we were almost there and l knew my prayer for relevance and #6 was almost answered and as luck would have it we were going home to try and win number 6 against a team that everyone except Cane fans say can’t be beat kind of like Nebraska was in ‘83 when they showed up at our home field with everyone saying we had no shot.We all know how that turned out.

When we win Monday night it will be very special for a lot of us older guys cause I’m willing to bet that I’m not alone in thinking that we’d never see #6 happen in our lifetimes.I will thank the Lord for answering all those prayers over the years but I’m not insane enough to think I was the only one with this prayer and I’m pretty sure that even Hoosier fans even being sure they will smoke us I’m pretty sure there will be many of them on their knees before the game asking for the the same thing as I am asking for only with the opposite result.I’m Hoping God is a Cane fan.

But it will be one great night when we win Monday Night.There will be a lot of tears among family members who like me have been lifelong Cane Fans ,many like myself for more than 50yrs and I’m just hoping my old heart holds up through all the madness of the game and the joy and yelling through and after the game but One thing is for sure if I make it to Tuesday morning I will first thank God for answering my prayer of roughly 25 or so years and I’ll start a new prayer that morning asking the Good Lord to let me be around to see #7.

I can't find the words to express how good it feels to wear my alma mater's colors and logo with so much more pride. I went from hopium to copium far too many seasons. I want this so bad for this team, for the city, for all of our Cane nation. What a journey. Go Canes

Left for dead early November. The CFP committee gave this team new life in December. These men know that they were given a chance to prove to the world that they belong.

So far they have risen to the occasion.

Now they have to find a way to win it all in their house.

Yep, at least for me…I don’t get to enjoy a year where we beat each of my top 4 most hated in one year..Turds, Taint, Shame and Semens…that in and of itself has been f-ng glorious.
