I was hiking down Stone Mountain, Ga. and about half way down I run into somebody walking up who sees my shirt and says, " Miami in the house!" That's the last thing i expected to hear.

What's the strangest place something like that's happened to you?

One was in Georgia, walking through a mall that had a UM store inside, this was years ago. I believe I was in town for the LSU game in the chik fil a bowl. That sucked.

The other recent funny was walking into city furniture in broward, the lady at the front looks at my shirt and just screams “DYME LIFE” and threw up the U. I had a good laugh, definitely didn’t expect it from her lol

Running into a UM fan in Broward was strange?
 
Years ago at the top of Pikes Peak. UM gear on. Shivering like he just broke a fever not realizing how cold it stays on Pikes Peak. Good dude.
 
I was up in the mountains outside L A. They had huge trees that looked like our Florida pine trees but much larger. I took some pictures and they did not demonstrate how big the trees were. Two men were walking by so asked if they would take a picture with me standing beside the trees. Turns out both were doctors and grads of the U and I had a U shirt on. We talked football for an hour. Became friends and met later for dinner.
 
dude on the subway. looked stoned. knocked out. had UM sneakers on no strings. like he just got robbed. I think it was @reg
 
Seen a handful in NYC over the past 6 years (not counting when I went to the God awful Pinstripe Bowl).

On the opposite side, went into a gas station in Goshen, NY to pick up some beers one Saturday and the clerk said "Have a nice day, even though you're a Canes fan." Turns out the fvcker was a Noles fan.

I was volunteering in Soacha Colombia. It's a very poor/sketchy area (at least allegedly, I had no issues) on the outskirts of Bogota. If you've seen the beginning of that "Triple Frontier" movie on Netflix, that's the place. Anyway, some random dude had a canes hat on. There literally isn't plumbing and the streets are mostly dirt. UNICEF and the Red Cross are there permanently to put it in perspective. I'm sure the guy had no idea what the hat meant but I'm still curious how the **** he got it.
 
The doctor that we chose to deliver my son almost 6 years ago was a UM alum. It's literally one of the reasons why I chose him, considering that I was fairly new to Jacksonville at the time and therefore didn't know any doctors. This doctor, along with 2 others, came highly recommended. The primary differentiator was this particular doctor was a UM alum.

The night that my wife went into labor, the doctor had an emergency of his own and therefore we had to use the on-call doctor instead. When the new doctor walked into our room, he was wearing a UM surgical hat with a matching pair of UM stethoscopes. Needless to say, it was truly meant for my son to be a Cane!
 
I didn't get a chance to actually meet the guy, but in Opelika, Alabama I passed a huge truck (monster truck) painted orange and green with Canes written on it. I wanted to U turn and catch up with the guy.

Did the hat by any chance say "2002 Fiesta Bowl National Champions" on it? I hear there are dozens of them floating around Soacha, Colombia to this day.
 
Hiking up the Bald River Falls in Tennessee. Some dude saw my sons old skool U Starter jacket. He came up to my son to let him know he was wearing the old Sebastian with the pipe.
