🎙️ What's Your Canes Story? — Presented by U Heard

Some 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.
