Anthony Girard, Gainesville, Fl to Clinton Portis: I just wanted to say Congradulations on a perfect season and a great career at the University of Miami. I grew up in Miami and live in Gainesville since 1991, I loved watching you at Gainesville high. and then 3 yrs at Miami. From a fan point of view, I would love to watch you 1 more year but I know you have to what is best for you and your family. I will watch you in the NFL next season. Thanks for the last 3 yrs.

Errin Camner, Miami, FL to The Whole Team and Athletic Department: Dear Canes, I am so proud and happy to be a canes fan. I always have been and have stuck by you guys through thick and thin. It is just so great to know that the rest of the nation now sees what we Canes fans have always known – that this team was not going to bow their heads and disappear from sanctions, that we are strong and spirited and have heart that can’t be measured, and that of course, we are BACK. I want to thank all of you for a great season and for bringing a great big smile to my face. The Game was great and the athletic department definitely made it a lot more fun and easier to enjoy with the buses and tailgate (alumni dept.). The only thing I am sad about is that another season is over and that I will have to wait til next season to get to watch the team in action again. So far this has been a great 2002. Thanks and GO CANES!!!

Marc A. Lalley, Atlanta, GA to Team & Coaching Staff: Thanks for the most exciting college fooball season ever for Miami. Without a doubt this is the best Miami team ever! You are the envy of all of college football not only for the unbelievable talent that was on the field, but the class and sportsmanship that was displayed all year long on and off the field.

To the coaching staff, please try your best to keep all of the special FR, SO, JR players in school in iorder to make another run at the National Championship in ’03.
