What year did you go there?Outstanding Go Eagles
Did you graduate Beach High? Sorry if I asked you this, already. I think I did but don't remember. Are you in Frederick area now? I think you might have said so.Nice. That's a great first game. I was born and raised on Miami Beach but lived in VA for years. I live in Maryland now. I had to get a shîtload of snow off my car this morning. No one should miss this or the driving in the snow aspect of living up north.
That's probably when Bowden had the two-headed QB: Jim Jordan (?) and Wally Woodham. Rare team that could platoon QBs and make it work. He did.UM vs FSU 1980. Bobby Bowden went for the two point conversion at the end of the game. Jim Burt knocked it down. We won 10-9, I believe. I think that was FSU’s only regular season loss until they played and lost vs OU in the Orange Bowl. I was hooked forevermore.
I live here in a small town Manning,SC but my mom is from homestead and most of my family is in Miami .. I grew up loving the canes I was so pumped to see my canes .. I was so excited to get to see them for first time I was 8 years old .. now I catch them whenever they’re close to SC I catch at least a game a yearMy first game too. Lived in Charleston SC my whole life and at 14 finally found someone who wanted to go to a canes game as much as I did. I didn’t care they were cheering for Clemson and made the ride home that much sweeter.

My family moved to the Beach in the 1940's. I went to Beach, I have older cousins and uncles and a mother who went to Beach starting with graduation year 1960 and going up to the 80's. You and I have talked on the board I'm happy to PM with you.Did you graduate Beach High? Sorry if I asked you this, already. I think I did but don't remember. Are you in Frederick area now?

I grew up on the Beach until 12th grade but I'm probably way older than you.
there was nothing like being in the OB, right GK ?I knew we had a connection... my first season tickets were for the 1983 season in the Howling Hurricanes section... then the next year I moved across (South) to row 32 isle seats on the 12 yardline... until 2004. However, I got tickets to the UF game in 79 and was invited to a OU/UM game in 75.

Oh my God when you would enter the stadium the hair on your arms would stand on end from the energy... there was a special magic there.there was nothing like being in the OB, right GK ?
thats a fact GK ! i feel sorry for any CANES fan that never had that experience and also doesn't know what a CANES NC feels like !Oh my God when you would enter the stadium the hair on your arms would stand on end from the energy... there was a special magic there.
God Bless you sir.September 1965 - my freshman year - against SMU in the Orange Bowl.
My first game was also in 2005. It was the Miami vs. Clemson game in Death Valley(Clemson). Had to look up score:
Miami: 36
Clemson: 30
The game went to 3 OTs and after we scored a TD(and missed the two point) in third overtime Kenny Phillips picked off Charlie whitehurst to end the game. I remember my friends who were Clemson fans told me that whitehurst hadn’t thrown an interception coming into that game and we were halfway through the season. I talked **** to my buddy and his parents the whole 3 hour ride back to Charleston SC about that interception. My Clemson friends to this day still say that game broke some sort of sound record for a sporting event and the stadium was rocking.
Our QB was Kyle Wright and I remember Tyrone Moss had a huge game. Ryan Moore and sinorice Moss had some big plays but I won’t remember anything more then the runs Devin Hester made. I know there was a penalty on the big run that brought it back but he was untouchable and how he made something out of nothing was unreal to see from the stands. Here are the highlights:

Several of us here are old guys and lifelong fans. It might be hard for others to understand how it felt to see UM win their first NC after all those years of mediocrity.
