Last Game at the Orange Bowl

Something I failed to touch on last night, but I want to do now: the MNW-Deerfield playoff game was the last football game to be played at the Orange Bowl before its scheduled demolition early next year. Though I like to pretend thats not really happening, the significance of last night's game should still be noted.

Jacory Harris and Co. for the most part are heading to Coral Gables to play ball next season (come on Tommy, you know you want to be part of the fun). Because of this, many of the Hurricane faithful have adopted Miami Northwestern as their own. So when our boys were down 2 at their own 1 yard line with about 2 minutes to play, the next generation of Canes gave the Orange Bowl the ending it deserved from its real football team. Harris recovered from a shaky (by his standards) game to drive his team to a winning touchdown run and a spot in the State Finals. A fitting ending indeed. One last bit of magic for the ol' girl in the Little Havana night.
