Now that we've spent that last few weeks cringing about what will be in the present, take a moment to reminisce about the past -- something we as Canes fans have grown quite fond of doing over the last decade and a half.

When and where was the first UM game you attended?

I'll kick it off....1983 in the Doak. Shnelly brought his #6 ranked Canes into Tallahassee vs an unranked FSU squad. Noles nearly pulled off the upset, but in the final 2 minutes. Kosar marched the offense straight down the field in my direction. Davis kicked the game winner in the final seconds and the ball nearly landed in my lap as time expired. Final score 17-16 good guys.

Our boys would go on to beat Nebraska in the Orange Bowl that season for our first Natty. I was hooked.

‘82 or ‘83 Orange Bowl. My dad took me while he was still a student or a very recent grad - and he graduated in 1982.

Day game. Possibly East Carolina. Too young to remember specifics, sadly.

Edit: proud to have been there before the rings. Great times! “No blockee”

mine was in the OB in 1983 when the Canes beat 13th ranked Notre Douche 20-0 .. the shutout was icing on the cake.

ahhhh but at least we both came up in our inaugural magical year on the scene!

2012 Miami beats Georgia Tech after a 17 point come back. Incredible goal line stand by the Door. Mike James game winning run in OT. Pretty epic game and tons of Canes fans in Atlanta

One of the few highlights of AL Golden career when he hugged Malcolm Lewis as they stabilized his ankle
 
2018, AT&T Stadium, Miami vs LSU, 50 yard line

2001 in the Orange Bowl. A 61-0 victory over Rutgers. It was the first home game of my freshman year, I had been a fan since I was about 5, and I'll never forget walking into the OB for the first time.
