MIAMI WINS 38-34 vs Virgina Tech - Orange Bowl Boys Week 5 Recap Show Sep 28, 2024

Show notes

Listen, momma said there’d be games like this. It definitely was not pretty, but in the end, a conference win is a win. 5-0 (1-0) will work and we continue on.

Obviously, there is a lot to unpack here…we start with the final play. Was it a TD or not? We all agreed it was not and Ro made a great point. If you think that was a TD, you are a pure Miami hater. All three of us were stunned that the ACC overruled the call on the field. Can’t remember the last time the refs helped us in a game.

Cam Ward and his Heisman CAMpaign is still progressing, tho this was his worst start as a Cane. He was responsible for 5 touchdowns, but also 3 turnovers. We will live with Cam and die with Cam…as he goes, so will this season.

Penalties are still an issue as we bagged another 6. The rushing attack is not what we’d like to see as we approach the midway point in the season.

All that said…we lose this game going away last handful of seasons. The battle back they showed us means something.

#139: Miami Week 5 Preview vs VT - Let It Be Sloppy and Wet Sep 26, 2024

Show notes

It is the dawn of ACC play with the Canes taking on Va Tech tomorrow night at the Rock! The guys discussed the amazing start and what their worries might be heading into this game. Toast has a little concern that Va Tech might finally show the promise everyone thought they’d have pre-season. Meanwhile, Scoop would really like to see them run the ball in dominating fashion. We had a bunch of fun making our Higher/Lower picks with Underdog Fantasy. We will make more money with DJUglystats again this week.

IP Daily dropped a pregame report for the Va Tech game and was somehow able to make it NSFW, so fair warning there. Earmuffs for the kiddies.

We also got into the UNLV news with their QB1 bailing on them due to NIL issues. Listen, this is big boy stuff here. If you and your agent do not get stuff in writing, you are an idiot. Have competent representation. This is on him and his advisors, not on UNLV.

MIAMI WINS 50-15 at South Florida - Orange Bowl Boys Week 4 Recap Show Sep 22, 2024

Show notes

It was another HUGE win for the Miami Hurricanes as they beat the South Florida Bulls 50-15 in Tampa... which means it's another fun Recap Shooow!!

The first half of this game was a struggle for the Canes with some unforced errors, but still hit the half up 7. Then they came out in the second half and ran the Bulls out of the building. Mario challenged the defense to try and pitch a shutout in the second half and the Canes came out with a whole new attitude and put the game to rest.

And with another amazing performance by Cam Ward, Ro starts referring to the offense as a "hive mind" because they all know where they need to be and what's going to happen. We also take a look at the talent of the receiving core as we now have three receivers on the watch list for the Biletnikoff Award and they all showed out against USF.

There are so many props to go around this week, but the play of the offensive line really stood out to everyone, as Cam Ward went practically untouched in this game. And the talent of this Canes team showed you that when you play a scheme like USF, it can only last so long before this Miami team just punches you in the mouth and shuts it down. And how about that run from Lyle!?! There's almost too much good stuff to talk about this week.

Props also go to the play calling of Shannon Dawson this week, who is obviously operating without any meddling or oversight because he's been having fun with his schemes. And when you have a QB like Cam Ward, it's easy to get creative and look great. We also take a look at our Underdog Fantasy Higher or Lower picks, and break down some of the wild stories from around College Football yesterday. Now it's on to Virginia Tech on Friday night at the Rock!

#138: Miami Week 4 Preview vs USF - House Parties in Lakeland Sep 19, 2024

Show notes

Scoop is coming in hot as the show's sole USF alum, and he immediately jokes that this week he's realized that USF fans border on the annoyance level of UCF fans. This branches into a discussion about who the most annoying fan base in Florida really is, and it's hard for anyone to top UF. And where exactly do you draw the line for "South Florida"? And as we dive into the specifics of this match-up, it's clear that the Bulls are a one-man show.

We also welcome a new partner to the show as Underdog Fantasy presents our UM Higher or Lower segment! We also get another hilarious check-in from Canes legend I.P. Daily who lays the lumber on the Gators yet again. And all three guys bring their keys to the game, including avoiding the space game, knowing when to kneel, making the Bulls one dimensional, controlling time of possession and getting off the field on 3rd down.

And the Wheel of College Football audio is loaded this week - with moments from Colorado, Shedeur Sanders refusing to shake a QB's hand, the worst kick ever on College GameDay, Marshall's head coach bribing Ohio State players with all-you-can-eat biscuits and a delusional and defeated moment with Gators head coach Billy Napier. And of course our weekly Pick 'ems are all over the road as the Top 25 matchups start to pick up!

MIAMI WINS 62-0 VS Ball State - Orange Bowl Boys Week 3 Recap Show Sep 15, 2024

Show notes

The Canes did something none of us saw coming as they ran Ball State out of the building, which makes for a total blast of a Recap Shooooow!

It was a record setting day for Miami as they ran up 750 total yards, the first time they've done that in 20 years. Cam Ward was exceptional again yesterday, as was the line because he had all the time in the world to do what he wanted to do. And everyone was happy to see this team stay in the moment and not look past a team like Ball State with South Florida on the horizon. Plus Roman has high praise for Mario this week, as he allowed his offensive coordinator to work when things were slow.

Now that we're through our first three games we start to get into the teeth of the schedule, and we're curious to see if that high level of performance from Cam can continue as the defenses toughen up. And it wouldn't be a recap show if we didn't dance on the graves of the Gators and Seminoles who both took a huge L this week.

And we close out the fun with the results of our over/under picks for the week! Plus we start to look ahead to South Florida next week.

#137: Miami Week 3 Preview vs Ball State - Your Mental Hamper Stinks Sep 12, 2024

Show notes

Everyone comes in high off the FAMU win, but Ro still feels like it's a make-or-break week because he needs to see the team make a statement against a team you're a heavy favorite over. But Scoop feels like UM is now beyond the "not being ready" stage of the season and they should roll easily against an inferior opponent.

Shannon Dawson also said UM has been pretty "basic" on offense, even though we're already seeing more from the tight end group than we have in previous seasons. Plus the AI OBB's drop a hot new Cam Ward single and a Letterman-style Top 5 things that will happen before Miami loses to Ball State at home. And all the guys have their three keys to the game, which are a little more in depth than the ones against FAMU.

IP Daily returns to once again lay waste to the Seminoles, Notre Dame and Auburn! And IP's comments launch us into a conversation about Linkin Park's new lead singer and how the FSU water guns that made a return appearance on social media this week. And the biggest South Florida story is still Tyreek Hill and how both Cheetah and the Miami cops were both on the wrong side of this situation. There are so many juicy Colorado stories that we have to dive into all of the rumors and stories swirling around Deion and Shaduer as they circle the tank

We dig into our third week of Pick 'ems after the fallout from a truly wild Week 2 that we didn't see coming. And all the guys pick their over-under props for the Canes, which we'll go over on Sunday's recap shooooow!

MIAMI WINS 56-9 VS FAMU - Orange Bowl Boys Week 2 Recap Show Sep 08, 2024

Show notes

Miami's home opener was a blowout as the Canes rolled to a huge 56-9 victory vs Florida A&M... so it's time for the Recap Shooooow!

Cam Ward continued to shine as the #CAMpaign24 efforts got three passing TDs and one on the ground as he continued to look like the exceptional player he was billed as in the preseason. And both Toast and Ro are thrilled to see the involvement of the tight ends in the offensive game plan as they got into the game early. And another huge week for Restrepo shows that we are firing on all cylinders right now.

Even though this was a dominant win, there were still some things that needed cleaning up - even fans commenting that things were sloppy - but we wonder if that's fair because the bar has been raised so high. Plus some penalties jumped up this week that we didn't see in Week 1, including procedural penalties that we didn't see in the Swamp.

And with Michigan and Notre Dame both going down this weekend, we think the Canes could move into the Top 10 - which is great, but do NOT let that allow the team to take their foot off the gas. Plus Cal and Syracuse have both emerged early as tougher opponents than maybe UM fans had on their radar.

It was nice to see the offensive love spread out across multiple receivers, backs and tight ends, but we still want to see some big explosive plays. And we round out a fun recap show by reviewing our Player Over/Under props for this week's game. And we try to digest some of the big games and upsets from around College Football.

#136: Miami Week 2 Preview vs FAMU - Curb Stomped at the Duck Pond Sep 04, 2024

Show notes

After a HUGE win at the Swamp, the OBBs are ROLLING into their Week 2 preview, as the Canes face Florida A&M at Hard Rock Stadium. And of course we have to open the show by dancing on Florida State's grave, before diving into the future of Billy Napier at Florida as his 7-year deal was almost fully guaranteed. And with politics surrounding the President resigning at Florida, Billy might get another year just based on the finances.

Plus as the ACC's "top" teams struggled out of the gate, and FSU dropping BOTH of their first two games, the guys try to figure out who the Canes competition will be out of the conference. Scoop thinks Louisville is in that conversation, and so is Georgia Tech. And as we go down to Greentree, Scoop continues to be impressed by the UF game tape of Cam Ward, as there were so many small things he missed during the course of the game.

Roman addresses some online haters as regards to our early push for Cam Ward to go to New York, and everyone dives into the mystery of Mike Norvell and FSU as they have looked so rough as the season has started. And we play some amazing audio of Seminoles fans melting down as they watched their team lose to Boston College.

IP Daily drops by to LEVEL the Gators and the Seminoles in true IP epic fashion. The Canes checked in with three ACC players of the week in Cam Ward, Zach Carpenter and Jaden Harris. Everyone also brings their Three Keys to the table - which are all largely "stay healthy". And we round out the show with some amazing College Football audio of the week - with Brian Kelly, Nick Saban and Mike Gundy all checking in during Week 1.

We dig into our third week of Pick 'ems... and honestly it's a slow week of games. But Week 2 always is - so we do our best to pick some winners!

MIAMI WINS 41-17 AT FLORIDA - Orange Bowl Boys Week 1 Recap Show Sep 01, 2024

Show notes

Miami rolled into the Swamp and came away with a HUGE Week 1 victory on the road... which means the guys are on full tilt for the Recap Show! Everyone is flying high on the heels of an absolute whooping that Miami opened up on the Gators.

We go through the highlights of Cam Ward's amazing debut for Miami, including the gunslinger pick he threw, and how great he was after that moment. Plus how about the tight end involvement!? There were so many great moments to look at with the offensive dominance, which looked so much different than last year. And everyone has some thoughts on the statement moments of the game, from the opening drive of the second half to the elite play of the secondary.

Even more praise comes from everyone about the play of the defensive, as we look at the key players from the line to the linebackers, all who made huge plays when it mattered most. It was just an all around impressive performance, especially when you look at the lack of penalties and the elimination of the crowd.

We also take a look at our over/unders for players and stats for this game, as we had plenty of hits and misses. And we start to look ahead to the early part of the schedule and try to predict where we will start to see backups and substitutes. And Cam Ward had a LOT to say after the win when he met with the media. With the guys having this much fun during a recap show, Scoop didn't want the show to end as we dove into some of the other stories from the first week. Overall EVERYONE is now drinking the Kool Aid and we're ready to roll into this season!

#135: Deion Zuckerberg at Tootsie's on a Slow Tuesday Aug 28, 2024

Show notes

IT'S GATORS WEEK!! HERE WE GO!!

The season kicks off Saturday in the Swamp, and we immediately head down to Greentree to preview the Week 1 matchup with Florida. And somehow the ESPN computers have us at 57% to lose! So Toast wants to know what scares us about the game, and the guys believe it's genuinely a mix of the venue and the expectations. Toast, however, feels the coaching staff needs to control this game with a strong game plane instead of being a liability.

And everyone has their Three Keys to the Game. Roman's three keys are to disguise the defense on the Gators, involvement from the tight ends early, and limiting the chaos plays by Florida. Toast's Three Keys are consistent pressure on the QBs, letting Cam Ward cook, and not losing the turnover battle on the road. Scoop's Three Keys are composure, penetration from the front four on defense, and performance from the stable of running backs.

Plus the AI OBB's return to the show to give their thoughts on the Gators and offer some AI-generated picks for the game - and all three of the AI's pick the Canes to win on the road! Which amps up everyone's anxiety even more.

Deion Sanders leads off the Wheel of College Football Topics for the week after he banned a Denver Post reporter from asking questions at Colorado press events.

We dig into our second week of Pick 'ems with huge games for UGA and Clemson, BC and FSU, and the biggest games of the week. And everyone offers up their official pick for the UM/UF game with score predictions and storylines.
