Visit Hurricane Headquarters!
Coral Gables, Fla. (www.hurricanesports.com) — – Judy Bolly: Glen Burnie, MD: My daughter, Wendy, was a Hurricane, Class of 99. She was killed in a car accident on Oct. 11, just before the big FSU game, which she was flying down for. I’m convinced she had something to do with the missed FSU kick at the end of that game. I’m always cheering for you & I know she is in Heaven, doing the same, as she did all 4 years in the “Band of the Hour”. Play hard & make her proud of her ‘Canes. I know she’ll be helping you from where she is now. Much love to all of you.
Alex Leon: Fort Myers, FL: I am proud to be a Hurricane fan. You players are very special because you represent us (your cane fans) in such a positive way. I admire how hard you work and how well you play on game day. All I can say is to continue playing like you know you can and victory will be ours to celebrate regardless of the final score.”GO CANES”
Kyle Richardson: Lee’s Summit, Missouri: Lets go CANES! good luck at the fiesta bowl. You guys will kill dem buckeyes. I am the biggest miami fan. I have always been a huge hurricane fan.My dream is to play baseball at miami someday. You guys will do perfectly fine against ohio state. 35-10 is my prediction. heres how. Ken Dorsey to andre johnson touchdown, Ken Dorsy to Winslow touchdown, willis mcgahee 2 running touchdowns, and rosco parrish a punt return for a touchdown. That’s how i see it. GOOD LUCK!! GO CANES!!!
Lucas,Sader: Weston,Florida: Hey,

Rene Mosquera: Phoenix, Arizona: HURRICANES,
It will be fun to see you guys dominate in the Fiesta Bowl. Have fun at the game and enjoy Arizona. This will be the last time I’ll be able to see the ‘CANES’ play live. I’m in the Army and I’m on my way to Germany, in February 2003. Be safe. See you at the Fiesta Bowl.

My favorite player #26 Taylor will be an impact on the final score.

Nate Carter: Jacksonville, Arkansas: Canes – As a longtime UM fan, I must express the gratitude I have for all of you, especially the seniors who have taken this program back to the level it should stay and doing so with class. Iwas once proud of this program on the field alone, but now I can say that I am proud to be a Canesfan both on and off the gridiron. Take the Buckeye’s to the woodshed and shut all the naysayers up!

Play like you know you can and the rest will come. You have true heart.
I just want send my respects to Wilfork because I know what it is like to lose a loved one. I lost my father when I was 6 to cancer. Being 25 now I have had the time to deal with the frustraton. It does come in time. I am behind you for support and encouragement. May the healing come quick and just continue to be the man you want to be because that is who she would want you to be. If you care to respond please do. Would love to hear from you or any of the Miami teammates.Take care and play like you know you can. All out.Your friendShaun Robertson
R. Neal Meeks: Madison Alabama: I have been a Canes fan since 1980 and i have faced many hard faces threw those years but nothing will ever stop me from being a fan. i sent a rather mean email to coach davis after he called the play to sit on the ball just before the half while playing fsu one year but coach coker has proved to me that he will do all that it takes to win and the sportsmenship of my canes have shut the mouths of people that just want to put miami down. My wife and i plan to move to miami as soon as we can and we cant wait to see our canes play live. i know that you guys will win the big one again and we all will be at my house watching it as we do with all the games. coach coker is a fan, a real coach and has always wanted to coach miami, i have no fear that he will leave the school for the nfl or anything else. he reminds me of my fanship toward miami. our hearts minds and souls will always be with you GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCANES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Neal, Amy, BIlly Meeks and all the rest of your fans hear in alabama
