FSU played their butts off tonight against Maryland. It was a great game. The score was 30 to 16. Of course, being in Miami (Canes Country) and not Tallassee (FSU Country), we have to celebrate quietly in our home...with the lights off...and the TV turned down low (just joking, it's not that bad...yet). Congrats to FSU.

This article is a follow up to the September 2, 2010 "Lebron James Not A Hurricanes Fan Yet". FSU college football team played rival UM today, at the latter's home in Miami and the former triumphed. Both teams put in a great effort and based on feedback, audiences enjoyed in thoroughly. It was a good game and a sell out crowd.
We watched the game at our home in Miami. My mother was talking smack about us supporting FSU now, due to my god-brother playing for the team. She started off cocky about wearing one of her many FSU shirts in Miami, then went completely punk at the end of the sentence. She said prior to the game, "I’m gonna wear the shirt (FSU)…inside the house."
My god-brother’s mother, who lives further north, drove down to Miami earlier in the day, to collect her sister at the airport. Girlfriend had on an FSU shirt...and had the team’s flag attached to her SUV.
Some Hurricanes fans saw her at a stop light and nearly lost their minds (LOL). They started holding up "U" signs with their fingers, representing UM. Being the goofball she is, she started laughing at them and proceeded to do the Seminoles Tomahawk chop hand gesture. Can you imagine a hearing impaired driver seeing that exchange at a stop light and wondering what they were doing, because that certainly was not sign language. But it's all in good fun.
Lebron James
New Miami Heat signing, Lebron James, has become a Miami resident, but is not yet a Hurricanes fan, which is the local university's football team (University of Miami).
Warning to Lebron: don't play with Miami folks regarding the Hurricanes. Case in point - my godbrother got into FSU (Florida State University) and on the football team (The Seminoles), so the whole family bought Seminoles jerseys, caps, t-shirts, key rings - you name it. Stupid here began wearing FSU gear around Miami. Who told me to do that.
A worker at an office I went to on business, took one look at the Seminoles shirt and before I even opened my mouth, jokingly said, "Okay, you can leave now!" whilst pointing at it.
On another occasion, I took my mom to the emergency room of a private hospital and was wearing one of the Seminoles t-shirts. The responding doctor looked at the shirt and jokingly said to me, "I'll help this lady here (pointing at my mom) but you (pointing at me), no, this is Canes country!" Never mind, I'm thinking, he didn't know she has most of the Seminoles clothing line at home.
Then, the other day, a Hurricanes supporter corned my mom in the frozen food section of the supermarket, looked and pointed at the Seminoles shirt and smirked "Are you from out of town!" She sheepishly said no. The person then proceeded to humorously tell her how the Canes are going to win and why FSU won't.
And the moral of the story is...don't play with Miami Hurricanes fans. Leave them alone, Lebron. Whatever they tell you, just nod in agreement and smile (LOL).

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — LeBron James didn't change all his teams this summer. James posted on his Twitter feed Thursday that he's considering going to Columbus, Ohio, on Sept. 11 to see the matchup between No. 2 Ohio State — his longtime team of choice — and No. 13 Miami.
And no, the former Cleveland Cavaliers star isn't rooting for the Hurricanes. The NBA's two-time reigning MVP wrote, "O-State will prevail for sure. Will be exciting!" ...
