The phrase, “It’s a Canes thing, and you would not understand,” is thrown around a lot, not just by Miami fans but by football enthusiasts around the country. UM faithful say it for pride, and because it means something, and other people say it because they think it’s a way of mocking the Hurricanes and their fans.
So what’s the meaning behind it? When someone says “It’s a Canes thing,” what does that actually mean? What makes the University of Miami, The U, so different from other schools? Because when you think about it and you’re coming from a point of view outside of Miami, it may not make sense.
