Through the Smoke

I was born a cane and I have pics of myself in cane onesies and cane bibs but I can't ever forget th pure joy I felt when we won it all in 01 I was 11 and than 1 year later I remember jumping up out of my seat a couple times screaming for joy thinking we won it all again than finally after rejoicing for what seemed like an eternity I see a little yellow flag come out and I started a one month deep depression where I couldn't keep food down... Yeh that night is the night I realized it ran deep ... Here I am 22 many broken possessions and holes in the walls and I can truly say I know my veins run with orange and green... I also remember when I was about 8 I would doodle in class and what else would a cane doodle in school but the U but I couldn't remember which side of the U had which colors so I went home that night and created a corny little jingle that I remember til this day...."left side orange right side green, that's the way we build our team!" haha

I was about 15, and believe it or not I had paid very little attention to college football, I was all pros, betting money in pools since 5 lol, then one day when I realized I had a chance to play college football I started paying attention, my mom went to Killian high in Miami and she my friends turned me on to Miami, she said the way the played and how I played there was no way I wouldn't like them. So I got to watch butch Davis in 99-00 season bring us up into national prominence again, and grew an immediate hatred towards fsu and Florida.. I would find my self up late at night researching the history of Miami and those qho played before and those who were in the NFL I knew I was hooked on Miami and it was all about the U. I loved my canes ever since my sophomore year in high school!

Mine isn't the most glamorous or since I was born, but my mom a Floridian Miami native turned me on because of my own style of play.

Boston college at Miami. me first game at the OB.

McGahee had a beast game.
