Scott Pattinson, Sarasota: I have no idea where the seats are but I’m joining my son and his friends at the game.They went to the championship game last year and their journey continues Jan 4th. I’m just lucky there was an extra ticket.

: Dawn Brennan: Ft. Lauderdale, FL: Play to your ability and you will win.Go 95% and you may not.Go Canes!!!!!!!!!!!

PS) A Suggestion:If OSU tries a 50 yard + field goal to win the game…..why not put your best leaper under the goalpost to bat it away……….the Dolphins might have won yesterday if they had.

John Rafferty: Ft. Lauderdale, FL: The cover of the Nov. 1957 “Sports Illustrated” featured the Oklahoma team that had won 47 straight games.The title was “Why Oklahoma Is Unbeatable”.That week Notre Dame avenged a 40-0 beating the year before. The nation’s top offense couldn’t move and ND won 7-0.I am cheering very, very hard for you, but as a 46 year Cane fan I have seen most everything. I am so proud of you on and off the field, but have NO doubt NOBODY is Unbeatable.

Go Canes…..Focus for 60 min…..hoist the trophy again.Jenny
