#395: Miami Bye Week Grades - Undisciplined Molly Wankers Sep 24, 2025

Show notes

It's a big bye week edition of the show, and we open with some bye week grades for the position groups as we gear up for Florida State. We start with the defense and get into all the things they are doing right, and it starts up front with Mesidor and Bain and just how stifling they are to every defense they face. Roman also breaks down what he's seen so far this season froSCIPLINEm Carson Beck, and how he might have struggled in some situations simply because the rivalry games are totally different in Miami compared to when he was at Georgia.

Outstanding grades are handed out to the running back group, a mediocre grade for the use of the tight ends, and surprisingly high marks for the wide receivers who were our biggest question marks coming into the season. And penalties and false starts have dropped the offensive line down from an A to a B

On the defensive side of the ball we start with grading out the new defense coordinator Dr Hetherman who has been superior, spectacular and all the S grades we can hand out... because A just doesn't seem high enough. The same grade applies to the line who continues to totally wreck games. The linebackers score very high also, as does the new-look secondary, and we are stunned to be able to give an A-plus to Carter Davis who continues to boot huge kicks and not miss.

We also round out the show with a fun bye-week game from Jenners, and this week's non-Miami Pick 'Ems!

MIAMI WINS 26-7 VS FLORIDA - Orange Bowl Boys Recap Show Sep 21, 2025

Show notes

It's the 4-0 Recap Show!! And Toast shows up to the show dressed like a priest to administer last rights to the Florida-UM rivalry game, since it won't be played again possibly ever. We start with the big upsides from the win, which starts with how dominant the Miami defense was against the Gators and how we feel like there are no more fire alarms on that side of the ball. They were incredible last night.

Everyone has big praise for Rueben Bain who showed yet again that he is the best defensive player in the country. And the question is quickly posed about whether we'll be able to hang onto Hetherman into next season if this defense continues to dominate the way they are. Also it seemed like everyone was making excuses for just how bad DJ Lagway has been this year and how the Florida fanbase is trying to put that blame on Billy.

Then we shift over the offense... which, while Fletcher dominated on the ground, seemed to get stuck in the mud for the better part of two quarters. Roman was at the game and comments about just how good the Florida secondary was doing keeping Carson Beck limited to the check-down options. And everyone wants to know why Dawson didn't try to flip the script as the offense got bogged down and struggled, and Roman thinks there is an offensive void that needs to be filled.

The officials also admitted that they made a mistake by blowing the whistle on the Brown run that took a touchdown off the board, and how nothing happened to the refs even though it changed the entire pace of the game. Toast also gauges everyone's confidence level going into the bye week after a game where Miami struggled offensively, especially as they gear up to head to Doke to face the Seminoles in two weeks. And it wouldn't be a show unless we took some time to dance on Clemson's grave after another horrible loss for Dabo.

#394: Miami Week 4 vs Florida with Josh Pray - A Jacory Harris Cosplay Sep 18, 2025

Show notes

It's Florida week and we're joined by hilarious Gator fan Josh Pray!! Right out of the gate everyone calls for a wild scene this Saturday night at Hard Rock and how angry Mario seems going into this week. Josh also breaks down how lost Gator fans were after Lagway's FIFTH interception against LSU and just how delusional their fan base really is after buying into the offseason lies about Florida. And Josh pulls no punches about how he feels about Carson Beck.

Hilariously Josh goes in on Miami offensive line, does not let up on Carson Beck, and tries to somehow put the Gators up against Miami's talent. Josh also tries to argue that UF has been way more relevant than Miami over the last 20 years, having won a more recent national title, and everyone realizes that all-time bragging rights are on the table because this will be the last head-to-head for a long time to come.

Josh also gets introduced to correspondent IP Daley who drops BOMBS on the Gators and leaves Josh a bit speechless. And Josh breaks out his classic Mike Tomlin impression, only to reveal that Tomlin hates his impression so he decided to retire it for a while but thinks it's time to bring it back. And the debate rages about what fanbase is better.

And after Josh jumps off, we get to the big headlines of the week, including Miami climbing to #4 in the Top 25, and how Miami is going to have a solid plan to really shut down the Gators this weekend. We also take a look back at Hylton Stubbs saying Florida was in a better situation last December after he flipped and how, while he made an overall mistake, we understand that after that Syracuse game it made sense in the moment. Everyone also brings their Three Keys to a Miami win over the Gators, ranging from Carson Beck's performance, the offensive line play, and rattling DJ Lagway.

Audio of the week comes to us from Dabo Swinney, who got a little huffy with the media after a couple of terrible losses to start this season, and Mike McDaniel dropping an all-time quote after the Dolphins embarrassing loss to the Patriots. And a huge slate of Week 4 Pick 'Ems!

MIAMI WINS 49-12 VS USF - Orange Bowl Boys Recap Show Sep 14, 2025

Show notes

There was a lot of Bull Riding on the CW today as the Canes absolutely dominated the South Florida Bulls. Right out of the gate, Roman has props to Miami OC Shannon Dawson for making the offense feel as though it's not missing a lot by losing Cam Ward to the NFL, which seems like an almost impossible task. Scoop also has roses for the offense, especially after this performance over the Bulls, even if there continues to be a complete lack of tight ends in the scheme.

Rueben Bain showed that he deserves to be in New York as a Heisman finalist, because he continues to be an absolute game wrecker in all scenarios. And Malachi Toney continues to show that he's wise beyond his years after having another monster game. And Toast makes a huge (possible homer-ish) declaration that Miami is already the best team in the country and it's just a matter of a few weeks before the college football world catches up with that idea. He also says that Mario has now gotten Miami to the level of Oregon, as Lanning has held them exactly where they were when they had Mario.

Everyone also starts to look at their season predictions now that Miami is rolling the way they are, and Scoop admits that if he has THIS Miami team all the way they may not lose a game. And will we actually have two guys on the stage in New York with Beck and Bain both owning their individual sides of the ball. Plus we kick around some of the biggest stories and scores from the day, with Georgia coming back to beat Tennessee in overtime, Clemson going down to Georgia Tech in Atlanta, and how our picks shook out headed into Sunday.

#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.
