The Hurricanes have a storied history, with many glorious eras throughout the years. Part of the team’s history are the traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation. Here are three of the traditions that are most beloved.
Touchdown Tommy
When people hear a loud “boom” whenever something important happens in the game in favor of the Hurricanes, that’s Touchdown Tommy. Touchdown Tommy isn’t a person. It’s more of a cannon that is entrusted to the Sigma Chi Fraternity’s Cannon Master. It’s one of the oldest traditions in the U.

The Smoke
One of most popular traditions of the Hurricanes is simply called “The Smoke.” It is part of the team’s entrance from the tunnel. Aside from the smoke blowing, there is an audio of a hurricane screaming through the speakers of the stadium. It has been copied by many other teams, and has since become one of the most beloved traditions.
Ring of Honor
The Ring of Honor is a relatively new tradition at only 20 years. It was started as a way to pay homage to the greats who have given their all to Miami Hurricane football. They are chosen by an anonymous group of experts and their names and jerseys were shown on the upper deck of the Orange Bowl, before it was torn down.
