CORAL GABLES, Fla. (www.hurricanesports.com) – – Azmi Abd Hamid, Malaysia to The whole Team : Congrats. You guys are great. I was at the Orange Bowl in 83 watching the Cane skulled the Huskers. Now again!! Really missed the moments. We’re far apart but at heart we remain close as ever. Forever remains as a Hurricane.
Jose A. Sanchez, Miami, Florida to Coaching Staff & Team…: Gents, only the Canes can hire a coach, two new coordinators and a strength coach and still win the National Championship! That’s why we are the best college program in the nation, bare none!Congratulations to the players, not just the starters, but each and everyone in the roster. You are the class that brought “CLASS” to our University. I’ve been a Canes fans since the late seventies, but this year has been the most special, and that’s hard to say.
wade mullins, riverview,fl. to coach shannon: I was very impressed all season with the adjustments you made during the games.Congratulations. Go Canes!
To jarrett payton: Hang in there. Hopefully, you’ll get some quality playing time next year. You guys have made us fans proud.
To ken dorsey: Thanks. You guys have made us fans very proud. How much respect do you have for Eric Crouch as one tough football player
To jonathan vilma: Great job (all season)! You are all class.We(fans)are proud of you guys. Thanks!
Joe Pascale, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to Jonathan Vilma: Congratulations Canes. They said we couldn’t stop the run, but look what happened. Great performance on your part and a special hi to Ed Reed our friend who took a picture with us after the Virginia Tech game last year and who I met at Canesfest. A job well done and well dese by all Hurricane players.
Randy Banner, McLean, VAto Ed Reed: You’re the best – there will never be a more inspirational leader at the University of Miami. You’re the heart and soul of the 2001 Canes. All the best in the NFL – I’ll be a fan of whichever team you play for.
Michael Kells, Orlando, FL to Team and Coaches: Watching the season unfold was wonderful. You all worked as a team for the National Championship. As a former student and faithful fan, thank you for all of the joy you gave to me this year.
Warren Savery, Houston, Tx to Tony Tella: Tony, I hope that you enjoy being part of a national championship. Very few people ever get the chance to be a part of one. The Hurricane tradition is a rare phenomenon. The outside world looks at the team and wonders why it is able to win so consistently on such a high level. A private school with a small enrollment, it’s followers come form all over. I just hope that you are enjoying the atmosphere in Coral Gables and i hope you can talk to Vincent Young about making the same decision you made. Take care and God bless.
Todd Fleming, Nashville, TN to Coach Coker and Ken Dorsey: Congratulations on an incredible season. We made the trip out to Pasadena and, even though I’ve watched you for years, you amazed me with the team’s ability and quickness during that game. I have been a fan for 20 years now (since high school) and am very proud of the way the program has bounced back from adversity. Coach Davis, and now Coach Coker, have done an outstanding job of getting quality student-athletes of character and talent and showing the Nation that you do your talking on the field!Dee Pee, Charlotte, NC to Vilma: Congratulations …and where did you learn to hit like that!!!!
Ben Daugherty, Dunwoody, GA to Jonathan Vilma: Was out at the Rose Bowl- been a Cane fan for years. Congrats on the big win. Went to UGA- AND DESPISE TENNESSEE !!!! Quick, early hint…Watch the short dumpoff pass to the slot receiver- they make a living off of it. I’ll be at that game- I’ve already sounded off to many UT fans- you boys have to take care of business up there. Good luck next season- sounds like the horses are in the stable for another run next year- keep up the monster hits…
Leon Hamid, Atlanta, GA to Congratulations to the best college football team in the world: Nuff said. You guys are the best.
Jim Perelman, Akron Ohio to Coach Larry Coker: Congratulations Coach on a fabulous season…the accomplishment of a National Championship is a lot to be proud of!!!!

Joe Baker, Carrollton, Texas to The Whole Team: I am originally from Florida now living in a Dallas suburb. I told all these Big 12 fans all along when they were hyping up Texas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska that it didn’t matter who you played. This was your year. They would have all gotten the same treatment. A blowout loss. You have proven to be the best both on and off the field. Congratulations on the outstanding season, and commend yourselves for doing it with dignity and class. Now lets do it again next year.
