Why I Became A Miami Hurricane: Marshall Thomas

Growing up in Hollywood, Florida, football is apart of your life. There is nothing quite like football in South Florida, it’s a different kind of animal. As a kid, I remember bits and pieces of my father showing me Dallas Cowboys games and what not, he raised me to be a huge Dallas fan. Other than that, I can’t really remember watching any football games the first few years of my life. I know I watched hundreds of them with my father, I just have no recollection.

Then when I turned eight years old in 2002, my father took my brother and I to the Orange Bowl for the first time.
