CORAL GABLES, FL – The University of Miami Alumni Association and the Golden Canes made the trip with the Hurricanes last weekend as UM took on the Louisville Cardinals and allCanes was right in the thick of things.
The Alumni group hosted a pregame tailgate party outside the Howard Schnellenberger football complex at Papa John’s Stadium. Several hundred Canes’ fans from the Midwest region attended as well as a loyal group of followers from South Florida.
General Manager Harry Rothwell and his staff set up a mini-retail store in a tent during the festivities and Canes fans had a great time browsing and buying the latest in Canes fashion to get ready for the clash with the highly-ranked Cardinals.
“We love going on these trips,” Rothwell said. “Our motto is ‘Have Canes, Will Travel’. Not only do we see great football, but it gives us a chance to visit and get feedback from our mail order customers and Canes fans around the nation. It was great to see so many of our customers in Louisville.”
“We’re extremely grateful to Donna Albride and the entire UM Alumni Association staff for inviting us to be a part of what turned out to be an outstanding event. While the result on the field was not what any of us expected, we know our Canes and Head Coach Larry Coker will turn things around and have another successful season.”
