This game felt like an entire fan base healing at once

I cried and I've been following this team for about a decade now, slightly less than that.

I don't even want to know how some of the older guys in here felt. That must've been the best sleep y'all got in a long time.

I cried at home and have been following pretty closely starting high school c/o 12 and pretty obsessively since 2015

What sleep. I finished watching highlights and Twitter at 4 am and had to be up at 8am for the airport.

I posted in the game thread I started with a few tears but by the end I was in a full out wail….
 
Fan since '87. Woke up feeling really good about our Canes again. Paid zero mind to the other **** going on I was consuming every cheer and tear until 5am. Couldn't be more proud of this team.

First January ever I'm proud to have the Canes license plate on my truck haha

With so many canes fans feeling great from the win and likely also really drunk last night in Dallas (or is it Arlington?) were there lots of canes dudes and chicks hooking up?

This random thought popped into my head last night and it's been on my mind all day.

What you're saying is alot of CANES were MADE last night
 
I’m 37. Been watching the Canes since the late 90s.

I remember watching the Canes starting to rebuild during the Butch days.

Fiesta bowl: My step dad and I were jumping for joy …until the flag was thrown. I was in tears.

LSU: it was at this moment I knew something was seriously wrong with the program. I just didn’t know we would free fall for another 20 years!!!

TEXAS ATM: I teared up after that game.

OSU: heart rate was 125-135 till Marty brown punched it up. Was so jacked up I watched the highlights till 330. Took a shower went to bed. Woke up at 7. Probably the most refreshing night of sleep I’ve had in a long time.

It’s been a long time coming fellas and last night we exorcised a couple demons.

We got a couple more to go!

I was so ****ed and depressed after the '03 Fiesta Bowl that I couldn't even watch the rest of the NFL season and even the Super Bowl that year.

Losses I can handle. It was the way that entire game went. You saw how that team played dirty last night; they did they same back then too. Tried to take out Sean Taylor. Took out Ken Dorsey temporarily in OT, but injured his throwing arm. Successfully took out Willis McGahee. Y'all know about the flag at the end.

Yes, Coker had plenty of flaws and we wish we had a coach that would have been better and kept us ahead. But for me, it was always the disgustingly, filthy way Ohio State played that game. It takes all the fun out of it. It makes me feel like I need to go shower because one of their fat, slobbery fans just put his dirty paws on me. No one wants to play that way. Injuries happen, but they deliberately try to cause them because of their own insecure bull****. And their fanbase cheers it on, which is why the rest of the country sees the type of people they are.

Winning last night in such a dominant fashion wasn't retribution for me so much as it was validation that their filthy, spoiled, ******** playground bull**** wasn't going to work because we were that much better than them.

They didn't even belong on the same field as us and we were always a step ahead.

And it was the first time that I can remember that I slept through the night without waking up at least once or twice, now that you mention it. Interesting coincidence. But I had a few drinks last night and I never drink, so maybe I just need to start drinking more. ;)

I was 21 watching that fiesta bowl and it didn't hit me then because I thought we'd be back. Wasn't till years later that it hit me so hard but this game man can't put into words how it made me feel, maybe pure ecstasy mixed with some relief.

Yeah, back then I thought we would be back in a championship eventually too. And I loved beating FSU in the Orange Bowl the year after, so even though we had those two awful losses to Tennessee and VT, I wasn’t worried then.

But the next year (2005) when Connor Barth broke my heart with that **** field goal at UNC, and then LSU made us look like a G5 team, I realized we were in BIG trouble. That Connor Barth kick traumatized me for life.
