Annette Fulton, Miami, FL to Andre Johnson: Congratulations! Being named co – mvp. Annette
Marvin Gosseye, Stuebenville, OH, to Ken Dorsey and the Hurricanes: Great game and team effort. Congrats again and it was great spending Friday afternoon with you at Michael’s. My next trip will be the W.Va. game in October. Have a great team again in 2002.
James Dixon, Plantation, FL to Ken Dorsey: Very well done! You have given me the one thing I’ve wanted for the Hurricanes for so long! Justice! You are #1. JIM
Jay Sauerwein, Houston, TX to Ken Dorsey: Being a True “Die-Hard” Hurricane (Class of ’92) in the State of Texas continues to cause me to be the point of many comments. However the superb season that you and the Team put together has given me unbelieveable bragging rights. I work in the Space Program at the Johnson Space Center and my office has a rather large ‘Split U’ banner hanging on the wall. I have decreed that it will remain until a Texas team makes it to the national finals in either football or baseball. They don’t even have to win, just make it. I am so proud of ‘our University’ and will continue to hold our banner high. Good Luck in the upcoming season, I will fly in for at least a couple of the games, as usual.
Andrew Smith, Great Falls, VA to the Departing Players: Thank you so much for your devotion. The fact that when deciding which college you would attend you had the historicalreference to remember the greatness of Miami’s past and the vision and self assurance to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that with your contributions could bring Miami back to the rightful place, and put UF and FSU back in their rightful places– looking up, shows that you are something special. For the past 20 years Canes players and the UM program has an unspeakable mystique that no other program can approach, a feeling that no other fan of no other team can experience except for a Cane fan in the Orange Bowl, a sideline full of legendary greatness with great players past and present witnessing history as it is written 7 times a year in the most historic stadium on the planet. Thats why every Cane fan, every present and past UM player knew that Sports Illustrated would have to eat their magazine. J Shockey, your game is nice!!! There is not a safety or a lineback on the planet that can check you, u may be the first tight end in history to draw man to man coverage from a shutdown corner and I am sure u will school them too.
Rolando Fernandez, Maimi, FL to Alex: Thank you Miami!!!!….A New Dynasty is about tobegin….
Jesse Escalera, Elkhart, Kansas to Clinton Portis: I think your the best running back in the game. The way you don’t give up inspires me
Juan A. Cruz, Panama, R.P, to The Whole Team: Congrats guys, this should have been 2 in a row,lets do it this year.
David Roberts, Plantation, FL to Howard Clark: Howard, just want to congratulate you on yournatonal championship. You are the nicest person on the team. I met you at Canes Fest in W.P.B, FL. I hope you have a great life and I will always be your Biggest fan. Take care, David Roberts.

Leo, Lexington Park, MD, to The Whole team: Hey guys this year was really special for me causeam a die hard fan and everyone up here in Md that is stationed with me hates UM and want to see us lose, by the way I dont know if I mention that am in the navy and that I will be leaving for Italy in June and will have to follow my canes thru the internet radio for the next 2 seasons. I want to come back for at least one game each year. I think FSU this year,and UF next one! Well thanks for making my year that much better, and lets not forget the senior from last year, they are a big part of this also!!!!
Ismael, Seattle, WA to The Best Team Ever: I want to congratulate the Hurricanes on a highlysuccessful season. As a resident of the Seattle area, I am glad that the Hurricanes squashed all opposion, including the Washington Huskies 65-7. I have been a Hurricanes fan since I was 7, and am still a strong fan at the age of 25. I have been around and seen the ups and downs of the program, and have been a strong supporter throughout. Its good to see the Cane’s #1 once again. Congratulations on a job well done. Ismael

Andy Hanson. Jacksonville, FL to Ken Dorsey and all of the Canes: Wow! thanks for the greatest season ever.

I can’t wait til you play florida this year! Please kick their butts like you did in the sugar bowl of the 00 season. everyone in jax loves gators and noles and i want to rub it in every chance i get at how we are on top for good.

David Lhota, Ft. Lauderdale, FL to Ken Dorsey and the Team: Great job last season! As a famous coach has said, “for the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack.” No one is stronger than the Canes.
Brad Wittman, Deltona, FL to Troy Prasek: Troy, congratulations to all the Canes on a great year! I met you at Canesfest last summer and you were kind enough to sign my Canes helmet.I’m sorry to read about your having to give up football because of yourillness.
