I have been a Miami Hurricanes fan since 1972. I grew up in Miami knowing I was going to attend Miami one day. And I did, in the early to mid 80s. I saw some incredible players back then and even attended (in person!) the Jan 84 Miami/Nebraska Orange Bowl game, one of my greatest college memories (and considered by many sports writers one of the greatest bowl games ever). It's tough living in Austin and not being a Longhorn fan. But I will be a Hurricane forever, through thick and thin.

So thank you thank you thank you to my Santa for this great set! First is a book that I can't wait to read. I have glanced through it and I know it's going to take me back. I can't wait.

And my Santa also sent me a party pack: plates, napkins and cups. Not sure when I'll use this - if we get into a bowl this year for sure (but that's a maybe at best, we're having a rough season). But living in (and working at) the land of the longhorns makes me crave my Hurricane goodies so I really appreciate this.
