Never in a million years have I ever thought there would be a day where people saying we have the baddest dudes on the planet. Crazy times.

If you would have told me years ago a player would say that in the future, I wouldn’t ever have believed it.

I remember being in 5th grade betting my teacher money that we would whoop Nebraska in 01. I barely knew football then, but I knew those dudes were bad mfers. This year feels similar in many aspects. We aren't there yet on defense or offense though and it is scary what we could accomplish if the defense fixes the coverage busts and contains running qbs better while the offense gets open more on passes.

Before most of your times, John Denver sang, "he was born in the summer of his twenty-seventh year," describing how coming to the Rockies made him feel like being born again. Well, I came to Miami in 1984, the summer of my 18th year--a white boy emerging from rural Florida to be born again in the psychedelic kaleidoscope of Miami's international culture--mamasitas dancing to salsa at the Opalocka/Hialeah flea market, Ropa vieja on Calle Ocho, Jamaican patties, Trinidadian Roti, Haitian mamas handing me their babies in the back of the jitney, spring break on South Beach--it was like discovering a whole new world.

And, of course, that was the summer after the Canes shocked the world by beating Nebraska for our first championship, and I went whole hog Miami Hurricanes--tailgating in Little Havana outside the Orange Bowl eating arepas and paying $10 extra for a grassy spot on somebody's front yard, going nuts in the WEZ during a home winning streak 58 games long. Best of times. Wide Right I-III. Butch Davis reviving our glory after a few years of purgatory. Being kings of the world.

Then 20 years of sliding into mediocrity. Taking my boys to the games for years, trying to tell them exactly how great we were and how great it was to be a Miami Hurricane.


V-tech and Notre Dame in 2017 only served to remind me what it felt like to dominate the college football landscape, but it was just a mirage. Always hoping, always disappointed.


College football will never be the same, and because of that, we may never re-live those dynasty years. But right now, when those boys run through the tunnel, it might as well be 1984 all over again, and I'm going to enjoy every second of it.

I’m 65 and came to work as a 25 YO in ‘84. I’ll never forget the men’s urinal moving in the old OB. I felt like I was always on a boat in that old crazy OB! The best of times. Been waiting a very long time.

Nobody is there like they were. NIL & Portal have turned college football back into what it was prior to you watching in 08. We have as good a chance as anyone this year. Bama & Georgia don't look like Bama & Georgia anymore. Everyone has a hole. We are ELITE on the OL & DL and that will give you a chance in todays landscape..

Born in 72. Seen the best we've ever had and it's been great! Looking forward to returning to the top.

Ha. Reading the comments in here it all makes sense now as to why there can be so much negativity and doubt. Some of you guys are young enough to not have experienced any of the UM heydays. Trust me boys, when it was (and will be again soon) rolling there’s nothing like it and believe it or not we’re seen in the same light as the recent Bama, UGA, OSUs, etc. Just be patient, when it happens again it will be worth it (maybe not the 20 year wait it’s been lol).
