#109: This Ends in a Felony Feb 16, 2024

Show notes

We are barely into the offseason and we're already getting early season rankings that have the Canes anywhere from 12 to 25 - even though we continue to end the season unranked. Even Cam is getting some Heisman buzz before he's even taken a snap in a Miami uniform.

Plus we had some shots fired on Twitter this week between Mario and Brett Bielima, where Mario had a mic drop response after Bielema tried to throw some shade. And of the five Canes that got a Combine invite, we debate which of them we think will show out the most. Sweetheart groups were released also and Miami's big offensive line made the list.

Of course we have to dive into some of the Super Bowl afterglow, and surprisingly all three OBB's really liked the halftime show. And we play back some of the sillier audio from the Nickelodeon broadcast of the game, including Spongebob and Patrick roasting the CMC fumble and Dora the Explorer explaining penalties.

And as always we close things out with another round of Five Questions - including things we are exceptionally bad at, soda and food pairings, and biggest run-ins with Karens.

#108: Jamaicans on Mars Feb 07, 2024

Show notes

As a prime example of how NIL and the portal have rendered Signing Day meaningless, we completely forgot it was upon us when it used to be a national holiday for the OBB's. Scoop also wants to know what's preventing college football from pulling the plug on NIL because of how much it's changed/ruined college football.

While collective bargaining appears to be the best way to a workable solution, we are starting to see programs play with the idea of forming unions as they are deemed university employees. And the "don't be a fan later" narrative surfaces again from a UM recruit and sets the show on its side.

Alonzo Highsmith also set social media ablaze this week with comments about the program going from a "Cat 1 to a 6" - and while everyone wants to drink the Kool-Aid, Scoop remains hesitant... but is looking for a thimble full. And Roman wants to know who the better recruiter is - Mario on the offensive line or Jason Taylor on the defensive line.

Plus we dive into the idea of "enhanced Olympic games" that would allow athletes to compete while as doped as they choose, and the WILD story of the three Kansas City Chiefs fans that froze to death in their buddy's backyard. And we close things out with another classic round of Five Questions - including our thoughts on Chili's, your comfort show, green-flag hobbies for women, what we'd leave on Mars, and things we wasted money on.

#107: It's Not All Great Out There Feb 01, 2024

Show notes

Miami now officially has three 5-star recruits as we roll into the off season, an accomplishment that Toast and Ro are proud of, but still have fears about Mario utilizing them on the field. And Roman wants to know what the common denominator is that keeps big-name game-changing coaches from wanting in on the Miami program.

We're all impressed at how drastically the quarterback room has evolved considering the state of the group going into the off season, and we are left wondering if there will end up being any moves made for wide receiver in the portal. Plus everyone has a high opinion of Jason Taylor's future with the Canes.

We also touch on BC's head coach leaving to become the defensive coordinator for the Packers, and the chaotic state of college football after NIL and the portal. And the train comes off the tracks talking about the Super Bowl and Scoop's favorite new show "Naked Attraction".

And of course we close things down with a rousing round of Five Questions - including one TV show we'd want one more season of, our favorite sensations, restaurants we refuse to eat at, and who we think should be the new James Bond.

#106: Put Nicky in My Mouth Jan 25, 2024

Show notes

We open the show this week by reflecting on Jacurri's podcast appearance this week, where he allegedly explained why he did not suit up this past season and why he chose to clarify things he said even before they hit the media cycle. And with Jim Harbough leaving Michigan for the Los Angeles Chargers, Ro wants to know who will take the bigger step back - Michigan or Alabama?

We get another hilarious check-in from IP Daily, who puts his own spin on the big stories of the week. Plus we go heavy into the 2024 Miami Hurricanes football schedule - with a Week 1 matchup at Florida, a little fear about going to USF in Week 4, and Week 10 vs Manny Diaz and Duke at home.

We're also joined by Adam Lichtenstein, Hurricanes beat reporter for the Sun Sentinel, who talks about covering the Canes as a UF alumni, how high he is on the Canes going into spring, developing relationships with the UM staff and his least favorite coach-speak.

And we wrap the show with 5 Questions - ranging from annoying foreigners, Hank Hill's cause of death, what we defend to our grave, world-ending songs and the worst pizza we've ever had.

#105: Magic School Bus in a Small Hallway Jan 18, 2024

Show notes

We open chapter 105 of the Mario era with some laughs about Alabama fans having to suffer the week in "Gen Pop", and Scoop says they are Alabama "trust fund fans" because they've never known losing... and we joke that it was the same as being a Canes fan 20 years ago! And we announce that our Discord chat is now open and free for all Canes fans!

There are also plenty of rumors about staffing rumors within the Miami coaching staff, and after a week to simmer on it Roman still loves the confidence and skill set of Cam Ward. Toast loves the Cam Ward addition also but is still wary of how the coaching staff will approach using all his skills.

Roddy Jones from ACC Network joins the show to discuss the sheer joy of the off season, Miami's huge recruiting class, reasons for encouragement going into 2024, his reaction to the Georgia Tech win, Miami's road forward and SO much more. And of course we hang Roddy on for a hilarious round of five questions!

Reaction Show: Cam Ward to the U! Jan 14, 2024

Show notes

It's a special reaction show now that the Canes have added Cam Ward to the quarterback room!! A change of grade for Toast, bringing the portal grade up to an A+ after getting the most sought after QB out there. And everyone is now feeling much better about the depth in the QB room.

And while everyone is extremely excited, there is still some caution about how this translates on the field come September. Plus this addition to the offense has greatly sped up the growth and prowess of the offense and put an even bigger spotlight on Mario's game management.

#104: O-H...E-A-D Jan 11, 2024

Show notes

We open the show by welcoming "Poff Daddy" to the fold and UM, which launches into a conversation about Tua's brother also interested in Miami. Scoop wants to ride with Jacurri as Toast argues that Poffenbarger and Tua's little brother Taulia Tagovailoa would likely beat him out for the starting job.But everyone thinks the competition between Poffenbarger and Jacurri will be interesting.

We also get a visit from IP Daily, who reacts to Nick Saban, Florida State and Michigan winning the National Championship. And we try to wrap our heads around the insanity that will unfold around college and pro football now that Nick Saban has retired, including an extensive debate about who should get the Alabama job.

Plus we get multiple check-ins from "Speculative Scoop", and close the show with a round of Five Questions - including our favorite SNL skits, what we'd do with mountains of money, names that have been ruined, red flag apps, aliens in Miami and the greatest TV characters ever.

#103: 30 Days After You Tap It Jan 05, 2024

Show notes

We open the show with a lot of respect and props to Jacurri Brown for sticking around to compete for the UM starting job! And the guys debate who they believe would be best in the starting role, Emory or Jacurri, and everyone has a different approach to their answer. So are these the two guys we're rolling with, or is a portal QB competitor still in the cards?

Plus it wouldn't be an episode of the Orange Bowl Boys if we didn't talk about coaching, as we dissect the approach into the offseason. Nor would it be an OBB if we didn't dance on the grave of Florida State after they got eviscerated by Georgia in the Orange Bowl.

And our finals pick-ems of the season land on a National Championship game that everyone has mixed opinions about. Plus we crack open the vault and revisit all the guys picks from the start of the season. Five Questions closes us out with annoying accents, things that are too weird for us, bands ruined by one member, ways to fix Gen Z and real life cheat codes.

#102: Worth a Phone Call - Orange Bowl Boys Chapter 102 & Pinstripe Bowl Recap Show Dec 29, 2023

Show notes

The Canes LOST the Pinstripe Bowl to Rutgers 31-24, and the boys break down everything that rolled into this loss, the first to Rutgers in the history of the program. And of course everyone is getting sick of the "gameday mismanagement" conversation that constantly surrounds the coaching staff.

Roman is specifically frustrated by the undisciplined conduct of the players as the Canes continue to cost themselves costly yards when it counts most. And Scoop wants to know what the excuses are going to be for this loss. And Toast wishes we would have locked down a portal QB before that loss on national television.

We also try to break down what happens next for this Miami program, do our picks for the College Football Playoff games, and try to figure out how to prevent all these kids from sitting out bowl games because they are entering the portal.

#101: Redwood Tasselbeck Dec 21, 2023

Show notes

After a HUGE signing day with the Canes, the guys are psyched to see the promise of Mario's recruiting pay off in a big way. Especially with the Canes coming in with the #3 class in the nation as of this taping. Plus Roman asks which was the better recruiting job by the Canes - last year's offensive line or this year's defensive line?

When breaking down the way he's put this class together, Ro and Scoop anoint Mario "the Nick Saban of recruiting" as he flipped huge recruits on the back of a 7-5 season. And we take a deep look at the recruiting class and who we think will be the biggest playmakers on Day 1 at UM.

Plus it's WAY too early predictions as we drink the 'crootin Kool-Aid and where we think Mario is in his rebuilding efforts, possibly ahead of schedule. And more bowl picks as we inch closer to the Playoff and the Canes bowl game, plus a closing round of Five Questions.
