#393: Miami Week 3 vs USF - A Woody for Trap Coverage Sep 12, 2025

Show notes

It's USF Week and we joke about Scoop being conflicted - as he's a die hard Canes fan, but a USF alum, and even jokes that he was always a Canes fan even when he was a student there. But USF is the darling week, with Josh Pate even putting them at #5 on his Commissioner's Poll. But no one on the show is buying the hype, with Roman even going deep into the film on the USF vs UF game and coming out more impressed with Miami after seeing how they both played.

Scoop also wants to know what everyone has been most impressed with from Carson Beck through the first two weeks - and answers range from comfort in the offense, attitude and accuracy. And it's almost hard to believe that we have the top PFF-rated wide receiver duo in the country with CJ Daniels and Malachi Toney, plus we're getting Jo Jo and Jordan Lyle back this week to even bolster the offense more.

Everyone lays out their Three Keys to the Game - which Roman has to remind us to do because we spiral down the UF rabbit hole - and everyone seems to need eyes on Byrum Brown, controlling the tempo and covering in man when it matters most. Plus audio of the week from AP voter Haley Sawyer - who moved UF UP after losing to USF last week - and we have some laughs at the expense of crying Gators bloggers from last week's loss.

Roman also starts bringing a "Woof of the Week" which this week goes to the Miami Dolphins after a horrendous Week 1 performance. And a huge Week 3 of Pick 'Ems with some of the biggest games of the week!

#392: Miami Week 2 vs Bethune - Bias Bozos Sep 04, 2025

Show notes

We are still coming in hot off that big victory over Notre Dame, and we are thrilled to see the way the defense played against a really tough offense... and Toast is getting cautiously more optimistic. Plus Scoop is finally starting to come around on the wide receivers room, especially after he was bullied by Andrew Novak for not having faith in those guys. And everyone has praise for the overall play of the defense and how that could be the wild card for us this season.

Mario also said this week that if the team improves a little each week that it could be a special season, and how everyone thinks that Notre Dame could have been a blowout if they were just a little better in a few areas. And we still have whining Notre Dame fans crying about that loss. Plus everyone has something to say about the downfall of the mighty Alabama Crimson Tide, as they took an embarrassing L to Florida State. Yes, even against Bethune, everyone has their Three Keys to a Miami win.

Did Mario think that Notre Dame still had a timeout on the 3rd and 4 run play at the end of the game? If so, Roman feels like that's a troubling sign after a few huge coaching missteps last season. Plus the Lane Kiffin audio surfaced this week regarding an incident where a defensive lineman was thrown off the team and is now suing the school, along with audio of Dabo Swinney and Brian Kelly exchanging barbs after last weekend's LSU-Clemson game. And don't miss an ugly-games, who-cares Week 2 round of Pick 'ems!

MIAMI WINS 27-24 VS NOTRE DAME - Orange Bowl Boys 2025 Week 1 Recap Show Sep 01, 2025

Show notes

It was a HUGE Week 1 win for the Miami Hurricanes in a straight-up fist fight with Notre Dame. And while we struggled in the fourth quarter, the defense came up big when it counted most and the kicking game delivered. So we start by recognizing Carter Davis who hit a HUGE kick to take the lead late in the fourth quarter, after we spent the week a little afraid of what the kicking game was going to look like. What an ending!

There are a lot of props (and critiques) to go around, as a lot of Canes fans were frustrated with some of the offensive play calling even though Beck really had a solid night with two touchdowns and ZERO interceptions... even though that was the narrative around Beck, right? And while we all thought we'd miss X going into this season, our boy Malachi Toney was absolutely sensational and a huge factor in this win.

On Notre Dame's side of the ball, we felt like CJ Carr looked a lot like Emory Williams, in that they kept his game plan a little too simple and it cost the Irish in the end. And why didn't get more Jeremiyah Love all game? Scoop calls it gross negligence on the offensive coordinators for the Irish. And how do we not recognize one of the best catches by a Miami Hurricane we've ever seen by CJ Daniels - hang it in the Louvre! Ro already says it's going to be his Paul Bange "Blow the Roof Off" clip of the week as we all reel about how great that moment was in such a big game.

And some of the things that were on our radar for improvement were the use of the tight ends, and whether or not our linebackers are going to be able to cover after giving up a couple of big plays. Toast also spotlights that botched snap early in the game, some struggles with tackling, and the offense's unwillingness to run anywhere except up the middle even when it wasn't working. Plus everyone is concerned about the lack of defense against a mobile quarterback, but we're willing to give Hetherman and the defense a pass because we didn't know anything about CJ Carr's running ability.

#391: Miami Week 1 vs Notre Dame - I Don't Like Hitters Aug 28, 2025

Show notes

We are ready!! It's officially FOOTBALL SEASON as Miami kicks off the 2025 season against Notre Dame this Sunday night and everyone on the show is hyped for this one. The narrative seems to be all about the history of this matchup and Miami never being able to fill the Rock, but we all feel like this one is going to deliver in a huge way for the Canes. But we aren't sleeping on Notre Dame, because Jeremiyah Love and the coaching are both exceptional for the Irish coming into this season.

Toast thinks this game hinges on the Miami secondary, largely because of the money that was spent to rebuild that position group. But Roman feels like while this game would not be a playoff eliminator for Miami, it could be for Notre Dame. And everyone lays out the things that scare us most on the chance we lose this game. Our boy Roddy Jones also brings up an amazing point on his ACC Network podcast this week about the narrative surrounding Carson Beck's interceptions and how it would change dramatically if you look at the interceptions that were not on Beck.

And it's the official return of everyone's Three Keys to the Game - where Scoop needs us to slow down Jeremiyah Love, Toast has eyes on the secondary, and Roman wants the crowd to blow the roof off the Rock. Plus we touch on Arch Manning's quote of the week and set some expectations for the young man, Bryce Underwood setting a high bar for Michigan fandom and himself, and some audio of the week from Marlins closer Tyler Phillips who dropped an all-time post-game interview.

We officially go through the first HUGE week of games for the official return of Pick 'Ems! The games on the docket are Georgia Tech at Colorado, #1 Texas at #3 Ohio State, Syracuse at #24 Tennessee, #8 Alabama at Florida State, #9 LSU at #4 Clemson, Virginia Tech at #13 South Carolina... and of course #6 Notre Dame at #10 Miami! And we make our score predictions for the Miami game and lay out how we think it will go.

#390: Miami 2025 Win-Loss Predictions - The Demon's Scepter Aug 21, 2025

Show notes

We have to open this week's show by addressing the Notre Dame fan base coming for the OBB's this week and how hostile the fan base got over our critique of their program going into the Week 1 showdown. And as we recap the back-and-forths this week, our old friend IP Daley joins the show to drop bombs on the Irish faithful after an eventful week online.

Plus we go through the 2025 Miami Hurricanes schedule and do the win-loss predictions, and everyone is all over the place. Toast has us at 11-1 with a season ending loss to Pitt... both Roman and Jenners have the Canes going 10-2 with Ro predicting losses to Louisville and VA Tech and Jenners calling SMU and VA Tech... and Scoop lands at a disappointing 8-4, with losses to Louisville, SMU, Syracuse and VA Tech.

Josh Pate also had some great perspective on how the Miami secondary's evolution this season could hold the keys to the ACC this year, which spins us into a debate about how that translates to Miami's week 1 matchup against Notre Dame. And as the Auburn claiming National Championships conversation comes about, we wonder if there are any titles out there for Miami to grab. We also touch on Michigan's SOFT penalties for the cheating scandal and the nonsense about expanding the Playoff to a 28 team field.

Believe it or not we have our first week of Pick 'Ems for Week 0 - regardless of how obscure the games are - and it's the FINAL week of Five Questions until the season concludes. Roman rolls them out this week including what you think when you pee, your favorite music video, who'd you swap your parents for, what sense you'd like to improve, what hobbies attract the biggest assholes, and the most memorable question from this year's season of Five Seasons.

#389: Miami Week 1 Preview vs Notre Dame - Shohei Mateer Aug 15, 2025

Show notes

We have officially abandoned the Chapters under the individual head coaches and welcome the fan base to Episode 389 of the Orange Bowl Boys! Roman wore an offensive shirt out in public today which brings about a funny conversation about offensive things we see out in the world. And with the Canes officially in pads we head on down to Greentree, where we jump into the CBS prediction that Miami will lose in Week 1 to Notre Dame. Plus it was a nice moment for Al Golden to get his Broyles Award delivered to the Bengals facility this week.

The debate also breaks into Carson Beck's confidence going into Week 1 versus what Notre Dame will be rolling out under center against the Canes. Scoop also makes it a point to bring up Shannon Dawson's praise for the receiver room and how confident he is in their ability to run anything he throws at them. Toast also wants to know how the guys would feel if Luke Nickel didn't win the QB3 spot and what that would mean for the quarterback room beyond Carson Beck.

Plus we touch on the 2025 "impatient index" and how Miami fans have basically been on that list for about 20 years, and the nonsense about other Florida schools getting aggravated that Miami took the award as the best college football program in the state. And of course we dive into the John Mateer Venmo betting scandal that dominated the college football world this week, and what it means going into Week 1 if he has to sit during an investigation. On3's Blue Bloods list really set the Internet on fire this week and of course everyone has an opinion about who really deserves to be on the list.

Audio of the week runs from Tom Brady taking a wonderful shot at Jets fans, how 76ers star Tyrese Maxey doesn't know how to use a can opener, the viral woman who laid out the list of demands she has for a man, and a montage of people with the weirdest laughs cracks up the show. And Roman's Five Questions this week asks us to take a band member from one band and putting them into another, what we'd say to ruin a first date, what we'd be surprised by after waking up from a 25 year coma, the last movie that made us cry, and what we want our last words to be.

#182: Miami's Preseason Ranking - Good Possum Face Aug 08, 2025

Show notes

Toast's nephew is officially on campus at UM getting ready to play baseball for the Canes, Roman's daughter is his hero, and Metallica's potential residency at the Vegas sphere has us all pumped up for this week's show. And as camp officially opens down in Coral Gables, Mario appears to be more calm and relaxed going into the season, a different vibe from the last few seasons. Scoop is big on Carson Beck as he's begun watching him throw, and as such we debate Phil Steele rating the Miami Wide Receiver room as #23 in the country.

Mario enters year #4 with some big expectations for Toast, even though Scoop feels like even if he falls short again this year his job is still secure. And Danny Kanell had some terrible opinions about Miami going into the season - an easy job for an obnoxious FSU guy - but it's so off base that it becomes comical. Plus we somehow get into the kicking competition at camp and how nervous we are after losing an automatic kicker like Andy Boregales.

The Wheel of Topics this week includes another WNBA dildo-throwing incident and what it will take for that to eventually stop... even though we find it hilarious. Plus the cancelling of Howard Stern at SiriusXM has been a long time coming despite an amazing career, President Trump butchering Tua's name during a press conference, the NFL's "ban" on smelling salts, and Louisiana's new law where slow drivers could face jail time.

And this week's Five Questions includes products designed for clueless consumers, celebrity rebrands that actually worked, things we'd throw on the WNBA floor if we were up to no good, the one thing that would kill our enemy if they were granted immortality, whether or not we'd support a social media ban for young kids, what animal would be the rudest, and what celebrity would look better after plastic surgery.

#181: Miami Camp Preview - Little Rock Hillary Jul 31, 2025

Show notes

No chapter number from Toast, Roman has a new favorite whiskey and Scoop hasn't eaten... we get off to a strong start this week as everyone is a bit out of sorts. And we were all pleasantly surprised by Happy Gilmore 2, especially due to the great cameos and all the hilarious appearances by our favorite golfers. Plus we quickly get down to Greentree with news of Carson Beck making the Maxwell watch list, and how confident Roman and Toast are going into Notre Dame in Week 1.

As we dive into the Week 1 predictions, Roman knows the specific box that Carson Beck needs to check in order for him to be successful all season. Scoop also wants to know if the guys think this is the best offensive line since Mario has been here. We look at the list of coaches on the "hot seat" going into the season, and while it didn't include Mario, Miami is still a factor due to the big losses the last few seasons. Plus a conversation about Carson's efficiency numbers over the last few seasons and how great he was with receivers at UGA who couldn't catch the ball.

Toast runs down the ACC media member rankings by predicted finish, with Miami falling in at #2 behind Clemson who got the most first-place votes by a mile, which we disagree with. Scoop brings up the Deion Sanders story and how forthcoming and humble he's been about a tragic situation after his bladder removal, and how more people could learn from his level of transparency.

This week's wheel of audio includes Ichiro's shot at the Miami Marlins, the fan who threw a neon green dildo onto the floor during a WNBA game this week, and the Savannah Banana who face-planted live on CNN. Plus Roman's Five Questions includes the best ways to relax, what actor would kill it in a superhero movie, things that have us concerned about younger men, traits we admire most about our partners and the sexiest song ever created.

#180: Miami at ACC Media Days - It'll Melt Eventually Jul 25, 2025

Show notes

We open the show with the slew of celebrity deaths that landed on us this week, but none harder than the passing of Hulk Hogan, who was a global icon on one of the biggest levels. Of course everyone was bummed about Ozzy's passing, and the tragedy around Malcom Jamal Warner, as our childhood quickly died off this week.

But we pivot to Miami at ACC Media Days, with great audio from Mark Richt sitting down with Carson, and Carson's comments about why he chose to leave UGA for Miami and how that revolves around the offensive talent. Mesidor also has some high praise for new DC Corey Hetherman who is letting them "play free and play fast." Francis Mauigoa had more great things to say about the "wall of Mirabal" and how hard the offensive line works.

Plus we get an epic report from our old friend IP Daley from ACC Media Days, as he takes down the ACC media and of course the Florida State Seminoles. And one of the more interesting rankings this week came from the Athletic who ranked the Power 4 conference schools by their value, based on revenue and over worth, and Miami came in at #24... but some of these other schools on the list cleared a cool billion.

Stories of the week include the guy who got arrested for credit card fraud at a Chuck E Cheese, while dressed AS Chuck E Cheese! We have to play some of the hilarious audio from South Park's season premier with Donald Trump and Satan, Scoop sounds off on Phil Mickelson's bad take about Scottie Scheffler (and the worst takes we've ever had on the show), and the Browns video guy who fell in the lake during their new helmet reveal.

And Roman's Five Questions this week include what we'd do with a magic potion, things that make us roll our eyes every time we hear them, the difference between confidence and arrogance, our wrestling name and finishing moves, and what animal we'd bite the head off of.

#179: Miami ACC Kickoff Preview - Bill and Dan in the Mailroom Jul 18, 2025

Show notes

It's stories from Roman's cruise, and how Seal's "Kiss From a Rose" got stuck in Toast's head, as we get into this week's show - where everyone is finally back! And crazy enough we are only six weeks away from our first game against Notre Dame, which means Student of the Game is also just around the corner. The common denominator when evaluating Miami in 2025 seems to be consistently coming back to Carson Beck's status and what to expect from him as he starts his Miami career.

We are also a week out from ACC Media Days in Charlotte and Toast wants to know what position groups the guys are most looking forward to seeing in camp. And Roman asks if we're more concerned about the receivers room or the cornerbacks room. Plus Miami locked up another good receiver through NIL which fired up the haters on spending money again, even though Texas has always been outspending everyone for years. And no one is buying the rumors that Nick Saban is returning to coaching, but if he did it would be hilarious if he went to Cleveland and brough Belichick in to be his DC.

That leads us into some of the amazing audio from Shane Gillis who roasted all of the professional sports world as the host of the ESPYs this year. And Toast thought the coolest thing he saw this week was the Braves tribute to Hank Aaron during the All Star Game, which was an amazing 3D projection right onto the field at Truist Park. And one of the craziest stories of the week surrounds Teddy Bridgewater's suspension from Miami Northwestern for helping his players with meals and transportation, which sparks a large debate about the FHSAA rules and how they are flexing on a public school versus a private school.

There's also a wild wheel of audio this week - which starts with the biggest viral story of the week as Coldplay caught a cheating CEO on the kiss cam with his HR director, and everyone has some crazy mixed opinions about how this went down. This somehow spins into a debate about whether the Goo Goo Dolls are better than Coldplay, and the worst (and best) bands we've ever seen live... just another one of our random tangents.

Roman's Five Questions returns, which this week includes things that makes music special, who would take more time off work if both men and women could get pregnant, where you would go if you could travel back in time a year, where you would go with a one-way ticket back in time, who we would haunt if we were ghosts, and what our kryptonite is in life.
