CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Rivalry week sometimes feels like a month with the anticipation around the big game. This Thursday night will help make the wait a little easier, with Hurricane Hotline and Hurricane Gameday set to bring fans inside access into the storied Miami-Florida State rivalry.

This Thursday, not only will head coach Randy Shannon and Director of Athletics Kirby Hocutt be in attendance at Monty’s, but former FSU coach Bobby Bowden will be a guest on the show in the second hour, giving fans a special inside look at one of sport’s biggest rivalries.
Fans in attendance at Monty’s will get a chance to speak with both Shannon and Hocutt, ask questions live on the air, and win prizes from the WQAM staff throughout the event. Fans listening on the radio can also send questions to the `Canes radio team via Twitter @hurricanesports.com.
