This week's Cane "Behind Enemy Lines" ...
Josh Headen
Salem, Virginia
How did you become a
Hurricanes fan?
"I
became a Hurricane fan when I was about seven or eight years old. My family had season
tickets to Tech games and I went to a ton of them growing up. I remember seeing
the Canes play for the first time and falling in love with everything about
them: their colors, cockiness, and the fact everyone hated them. It was all
very appealing to me, heck even Sebastian had an edge to him. Now 20 years
later, I still bleed orange and green!
Do you find it
difficult supporting Miami all the way from Salem?
"The
most difficult thing is seeing the GREAT deals on tickets and being so far away
I can't take advantage of them. Other than that, I've gotten used to the
bravado of the Tech fans, they are very proud of their ACC championships, but
still have ZERO of what The U has FIVE of!"
Is there a place you visit to watch Hurricanes games in the city?
"I usually just watch the games from my house."
Have you found any other Hurricanes fans in Salem?
"Yes,
there is actually a decent-sized fan base here in the Roanoke Valley."
How do you support the Hurricanes – Any apartment
decorations? Favorite piece of Canes gear? Travel for games?
"I
go to the games every year
within driving distance. I will be at the Virginia and Duke games this year
supporting The U."
Any favorite memories or stories from your time as a
Hurricanes fan?
"My
favorite Canes memories are getting Ed
Reed's arm sleeve at the 2001 Tech game, and of course the 2002 Rose Bowl! I
hope to watch the Canes win number six real soon!"
