I thought I was aging but some of y’all are ancient
Yup, quite a few geriatric Cane fans on here. I have been a Cane fan for 62 years (since 1957). I grew up in gator country (Jacksonville), initially attended JJC (Jax.Jr. College), then got married and husband was on full football scholarship @ Miami. We lived in what was then the married athletic dorms on ****erson Dr. (later torn down and now there are athletic facilities) Our dorm was the one closest to the little bridge that went from campus over to the football field/office area.
Back then we were everybody's doormat. Fran Curci was QB (& always went to class - he was inducted into the Iron & Arrow Club) & Jim Otto (00 for the Raiders & in the HOF in Canton, OH) was the center. I went to school @ Miami part-time and worked part-time @ what was then called Variety Children's Hospital off Red Road. Miami was the winter home of the NY & Chicago mafia and was considered neutral ground. I loved the U and I loved the City of Miami & the Gables, but unfortunately in 1962 my husband's job moved us back to north FL., then central FL.
