Back from the Blue
Ok Canes fans I'm back from my trip to Idaho and I have to say it was colder than it looked on TV,trust me!! I have never been so damn cold in my entire life but I'm proud of this team. No it wasn't the blowout or statement I wanted but it was a heart check for a battered and disappointed Hurricanes team,it was a bitter sweet farewell to a well liked and respected Larry Coker and it was possibly a coming out party for MVP Kirby Freeman. I know it looks like we barely beat a WAC team but trust me this was no easy task. To begin with it was 19 degrees (It felt like negative 19) with snow flurries(not your typical south beach weather) on top of that this was a very hostile crowd. Of the 28,000 fans only 2000 were Cane faithful, probably 5000 were Nevada fans,the other 21.000 were Boise State fans and they jumped right on the Wolf Pack bandwagon. By the fourth quarter the noise was deafening when the Canes offense was on the field. On top of that Nevada was playing inspired football, they were glad to be there, it was their BCS game, they were loving life. The Canes are a proud and storied program who were in essence forced into a game that we didn't even want to play. We made no money from it, it didn't help us gain exposure, and it did nothing possitive for our program. Still there will be haters who mock us and call us weak and say we should have lost but at this point in time,after the year we had,a win is a win,even if it's a squeaker against Nevada on the "Smurf Turf". Anyways like most Cane fans I can honestly say I'm glad this season is over,glad the Larry Coker era is over and glad that the Randy Shannon era begins. Hey it was rough but it's officially a new year, 2006 is over and now I'm already excited about 2007. I truly believe that there will be alot of "experts" eating their words in about 9 months. Until then talk you trash and we'll keep flying under the radar...Happy New Year Cane Nation....WE WILL RISE AGAIN!!!!CANEIAC1
