Yeah, I know... shameless plug
PatPerezGolf.com has gotten a few emails this week from folks in Florida asking about the logo on his left golf sleeve of his Adidas apparel as well as his Taylor Made golf bag.The logo is for allCanes.com and P.P. is sporting it this month for the Sunshine State swing as a favor to the guy who runs his website efforts... namely, me.
allCanes.com is a thirty year old family business next door to The U which sells all kinds of Miami Hurricanes football apparel and gear. I launched the website a few years back.
Make no mistake, P.P. is a Sun Devil and product of ASU - especially living in Scottsdale these days - but the Canes are a close second. Not that he really had a choice.
In the years when we were roommates in the mid to late 90s, he was subjected to many long hours of me breaking down film after a loss. He became a fan in those down years and saw the resurgance a few years back when The U won the 2001 National Championship against Nebraska, 37-14 in the 2002 Rose Bowl. It was an all around special time because it came days after P.P. just earned Medalist honors at Q-School. He came back home to San Diego and a bunch of us headed north to Pasadena for the game. Jason Gore even joined us, squeezed into my Ken Dorsey jersey and we rooted the Canes onto victory.
Above, a shot from the archives of P.P. and I in full tailgate mode pregame. He's playing the role of Dan Morgan and I am doing me best/worst Ed Reed.A special thanks to P.P. from the allCanes.com family for representing us well and doing us proud this past month.
We're looking forward to one last hurrah this weekend at the Players Championship as he'll be back to his main sponsor Right Toyota starting with the Verizon Heritage in Hilton Head, SC next month.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.... OOOOOHHHHH C-A-N-E-S, CANES!!
I always pulled for Perez as I'm a Perez and I like his fire. Saw him at Bay Hill and wondered what the affiliation to The U was. Now I know. Thanks for sharing that, Chris. Way to make him a fan!
Knowing he's a Cane, I'll really pull for Pat now. Have a big week bro!!!!!!!!!
