And trust us—the reason why is probably not what you're expecting.EJ takes us back to his journey from South Texas to SMU, where he attended on a full scholarship and began building the foundation for what would become a successful career in recruiting journalism.

🎙️ What’s Your Canes Story? — Presented by U HeardBefore he was co-hosting U Heard and helping build one of the most passionate Canes communities online…Joe Williams was just a kid from Queens chasing football dreams. 🏈🌪️In this episode, we sit down with Joey, co-founder and co-host of U Heard, to tell the story that started long before the podcast launched in 2022. Growing up in Queens, New York, opportunities to play football weren’t exactly around every corner—but that didn’t stop him from falling in love with the game.Joey takes us through his unlikely journey from the streets of NYC to Emporia State University, where the culture shock was real, the bus rides home were long, and his teammates got a true taste of New York thanks to the legendary DJ Clue mixtapes he’d bring back to Kansas.But through every mile, every challenge, and every adjustment, one thing stayed constant: his love for the Miami Hurricanes. Joey talks about becoming a Canes fan back in the early 80s, what drew him to The U, and why that connection has only grown stronger over time.We also get into the deeper side of Joey’s story—especially the role his mother played as the driving force behind him finishing his Master’s degree. Her belief in him helped fuel the perseverance that still defines him today.This episode is about more than football.It’s about family, sacrifice, culture, ambition, and the journey that shapes a lifelong Cane.There’s so much more to Joey’s story… and this is just the beginning.Follow & Support U Heard:🔗 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/uheardpod🐦 Twitter/X: @UHeardPodcast📸 Instagram: @UHeardPodcast🎥 YouTube: U Heard Podcast#WhatsYourCanesStory #UHeard #GoCanes #TheU #MiamiHurricanes #CanesFam #QueensNY #CollegeFootball #EmporiaState #CanesCulture #DJClue #HurricaneNation 🌪️🟧🟩

Yeah… Polk’s story has real baseball roots.But this isn’t just about the diamond.Polk takes us back to where it all started—his grandfather, the original architect of his Canes fandom.

Nah—this was a full-on sauna session with shoulder pads. 🔥 The Miami Hurricanes Spring Game brought the heat in every sense, and U Heard was in the building to witness it all.In this episode, we’re breaking down who turned up the temperature on the field and who might’ve just earned themselves a bigger role heading into the fall.

🎙️ What's Your Canes Story? — Presented by U HeardSome people choose the Miami Hurricanes… others are practically drafted into the family business. In this episode of “What’s Your Canes Story?”, we sit down with Vishnu Parasuraman (aka Vish) to talk about a journey that started in Texas and ended in the heart of Hurricane Country. When Vish’s father—an accomplished professor—was poached by the University of Miami from Texas A&M, the Parasuraman family packed up and headed to Coral Gables. What happened next? A lifelong love affair with The U.Vish tells us how growing up around the University shaped his fandom, why Hurricanes athletics became a cornerstone of family life, and how being a Cane in the Parasuraman household is less of a hobby and more of a multi-generational commitment. We also get into one of the more delicious traditions in the Miami fan experience: Vish’s dedication to sampling the legendary “Honor Shakes” at The Light during every Hurricanes baseball home game. Because supporting the Canes isn't just about touchdowns and home runs—sometimes it's about the milkshakes too. From Texas roots to Miami traditions, this episode is about how a family move turned into a lifetime of Orange & Green loyalty. If you’ve ever wondered how someone’s Canes story begins, Vish’s journey proves that sometimes it starts with a job offer… and ends with a lifelong obsession.Follow & Support U Heard:🔗 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/UHeardPod🐦 Twitter/X: @UHeardPodcast📸 Instagram: @UHeardPodcast🎥 YouTube: U Heard Podcast#WhatsYourCanesStory #UHeard #MiamiHurricanes #GoCanes #TheU #CanesFam #CanesBaseball #CollegeFootball #CollegeBaseball #MiamiSports #HurricaneNation 🌪️🟧🟩
