Merry Christmas, U Family…

Canes305 here, wishing the ‘U Family’ a Merry Christmas and happy holiday season.

Hardly the year we were all looking for or expecting, eh? I recall my thoughts this time last year and was of the belief that things “couldn’t get any worse” after the murder of Bryan Pata, a bowl game in Boise and a 7-6 season.

Who’d ever have expected that a year later we’d be coping with the murder of Sean Taylor, not making a bowl game and dealing with a 5-7 campaign?

None of us. But that’s life sometimes. Expect the unexpected. Don’t prematurely call something “rock bottom” or the “pinnacle” as we never really know what’s in store. All we can do is have faith, roll with the punches and remember to pinch ourselves during those good times and attempt to soak them up that much more.

It wasn’t the year most of us were hoping for, but I’m sure we can all find some silver lining and individually had some very special moments in 2007. This holiday season is the time to dwell on the good, right any wrongs and gear up to start fresh in 2008.

A very happy holiday season to all Canes fans out there. Here’s to better days ahead. – Canes305
