Saturday night was one of the greatest nights I've ever had as a Cane fan… I grew up going to the OB with my dad, My first real memory being the 1998 UCLA game, Edge running for 300 in an awesome comeback to upset Cade McNown and the #2 team in the country. A couple years later and Miami was back. “Back” to the point that you walked into the Orange Bowl expecting Miami to win, the only question was by how much. Had so many great memories then, but Saturday night was special because nobody expected it, nobody except for the team and our fans of course…
In my opinion, the Espn talking heads and experts have hated Miami historically because Miami was not only better, but they were different . The experience you get at a Canes game is unique to all of College Football. JT Money, Trick Daddy, even the reggaeton, where else do they do that? The turnover chain, the heat/ humidity, Running out of the smoke, the list goes on. In life, people don’t really embrace change or something “different”. These last two weeks the experts were at it once again, not giving Miami a chance. They always pick with their hearts, not their heads, because they are scared. Scared of change, scared of everything Miami is, and of course, the thought that Miami just might be “back”.
Fast forward to the game: The amount of nostalgia I felt tailgating /pregame this past Saturday Is hard to put into words. I got goosebumps when Phil Collins "In the air tonight" came on pregame. When Bandy took that pick 6 back to the house I exorcised 15 plus years of demonic frustration out of my body. The best part about it was that it felt like everyone else in that stadium did the same. We were all in it together on Saturday night. It was so **** loud and it continued through Badgley’s extra point and kickoff. We were partying and having fun, and we did it our way.
Props to all you Canes fans who stuck with this team through the good and bad times. It makes the wins feel so much better now that everyone else in the country doesn’t want to see it and that we have waited so long for this. I’m so proud of this team and our fans, couldn’t be a better fanbase that has to deal with all the **** that is said about us. Saturday Night shut a lot of people up, let’s keep this thing rolling. Go Canes.
