Sorry, CL, but this is where we have to agree to disagree.

How old is DBC? Honestly.

The reason why DBC should NEVER be on another Cane website, podcast, or production is right there in one of his first statements.

"How many of you remember 1979?" ****, DBC does not remember 1979, and he needs to stop pretending that he does. He lived in New York. No New York newspaper or other media source was covering UM football in 1979. ****, I grew up in Orlando (before I went to UM), where Bill Buchalter was a pioneer in covering football recruiting, and the Orlando Sentinel barely mentioned UM football in 1979. And Orlando is just up the Turnpike and the Orlando and Fort Lauderdale papers are owned by the same media company.

What I don't like about DBC is his toxic mixture of mental retardation and arrogance. He literally talks down to everyone as if he is some sort of expert. Look at him, as he corrects us rubes about how we should not cut off the "State of Miami" at Tampa, but extend it to Pinellas County (St. Pete/Clearwater)! ONE EXTRA COUNTY. Never mind that the Tampa metro area ("Tampa Bay") has ALWAYS included Pinellas County. No sir, Dannyboycane is ten times smarter than all the rest of us lifelong Florida residents who don't know ****e about our state's geography.

I realize that DBC has watched The U over and over again. I get it. He can regurgitate stuff that Billy filmed like nobody's business.

But his command of the facts? Give me a break. He first claimed that Miami went 8-3 in 1978, though he "do wanna stand corrected on one thing" when he Googles the fact that we went 6-5 that year. But what is worse is that he somehow attributes Ottis Anderson to the recruiting of Lou Saban. However, Saban was hired by Miami in December 1976. Ottis enrolled at Miami in August 1975.

Look, I could fact-check DBC all-day and all-night, but the reality is that he is a fraudulent "expert". He misstates a lot of incorrect facts WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY. And that is dangerous.

DBC even tried to claim that Howard Schnellenberger was part of The Junction Boys, which was Bear Bryant's first Texas A&M team in 1954. Let's check the tape...oh, yeah, Bear coached at aTm from 1954-1957 and moved to Alabama in 1958. Howard Schnellenberger? Oh, he PLAYED at Kentucky (and in the CFL) during that time, THEN coached at Kentucky from 1959-1960, before FINALLY joining Bear at Alabama in 1961. But should we be OK with DBC's constant misstatements of facts because he says "if I recall correctly"?

For the love of God, can we just admit what DBC is? He's a guy who has watched a ton of TV. And read a bunch of websites. He hasn't lived with 40 years of being a Miami fan. He hasn't experienced all the ups and downs of UM sports as a student or an alum. He's certainly no expert, he's just a guy who repeats things he's seen before, but with an authoritative-SOUNDING voice.

Oh, and for the record (because everyone misstated this fact, including DBC)...Melvin Bratton was injured THE NEXT YEAR in the Orange Bowl game against Oklahoma (January 1988). In fact, Melvin Bratton SCORED MIAMI'S FIRST TOUCHDOWN in the 1987 Fiasco Bowl against Ped State. So, yeah, if we stopped letting Testaverde throw and handed the ball to Highsmith AND BRATTON, we probably win the game (accurate). But Bratton was fine and uninjured for that 1987 bowl game.

The Choir says amen. Sir, I’m listening & all I could do was say, “Nope, Bratton broke his leg in the National Championship game against OU the following season, not PSU.”

All I could do was say “****; didn’t know Bear Bryant coached at A&M AND KENTUCKY! Talk about a conflict of interest!”

All I could do was think; “Man, The Hurricanes must have some nude photos of Mr Stephen M. Ross to just start construction on a statue of a coach that was never the HC of the Miami Dolphins AT THEIR STADIUM. Maybe Blake has him by the balls for once.”

DBC speaks w/ authority & such an arrogance that u would automatically believe he’s correct in any and everything that he says. His knowledge is Wikipedia at best, but even then, I can’t truly say that b/c of how many untruths were stated. BUT, he can easily hide behind “If I remember correctly.”

If anything, I would’ve like to hear from you or @OriginalCanesCanesCanes or @TheMatador; guys who attended & are old school Cane fans that truly know the history. DBC acts if he’s a Cane historian & no one knows more than him, and this interview showed the exact opposite. Lol. I still enjoyed it b/c I roll w the crew, and DBC is funny to listen to.
 
You can say what you want, but DBC is very knowledgeable regarding the history of our program dating back to the Schnelly years.

He's as passionate as they come about the U.
Posting 12-0 everywhere doesn’t make you knowledgeable.

On a serious note, good for DBC to have an experience to be interviewed in a platform like this. I appreciate it, @Canes Legacy. It’s a good deed.

C’mon you know good and well the only person Blake will ever have by the balls is his wife....

I’ll be honest, and no offense to OP, because the rest of his content is great, top notch, but I cringed when I realized this was for real.

As far as DBC, I assiduously avoid anything he puts out, or mentioning him, if at all possible.

I used to be one of those people that would mercilessly mock him here, and then years ago it just hit me, especially in discussing him with others, that he may not be right. Maybe that’s in my head because I’m no expert, I just don’t know.

So just even paying attention to him, or commenting, feels like pulling the wings off flies. I just try to stay away to be honest.

But if this interview does him some good, and makes him feel good, then I’m all for it.

Allow me to assist:

"... that he may not be is not right..."


After just a few minutes of watching his vids, this Dannyboy is dealing with a few diagnoses. Continuing to pick on him with this realization, regardless of what he says, speaks greater volumes about the other party than they do about what appears to be a well-intentioned and not always accurate Canes fan.

My guess, the few folks who know him closely would probably say he has a heart of gold and would peel the skin off his back to help a friend--all the while driving them equal parts crazy. The barstool guys kinda give off that vibe if you watch the progression of their vids talking with/about him.

Yeah; U make a real good point.
 
The man has special needs. It is as clear as day. I am not sure why people are so fascinated with him. Some of you have been ******* with him for years. I don't get it.

The man is out to lunch.

RIP Coach Schellenberger. He's the one that got everything going and put us on the map.

Re; DBC - Some of the previous posts bring back so many funny memories of the DBC posts,
like the bear looking in DBC's basement window as he did a pod cast, or his affair with
Heather Denish of ESPN, etc.
I would imagine that someone with Moosehead Lake in their name might know about bears.

Completely correct.

I don't understand DBC's lack of logic in advocating for Greentree to be renamed for Howard, yet the statue to be placed at Dolphins Stadium.

But, hey, it makes as much sense as calling Howard Schnellenberger one of The Junction Boys.
It makes not one iota of difference, but if I remember correctly, after the movie came out, Schnellenberger said something to the effect that what the Junction Boys went through was a walk in the park compared to what he had to endure when he played for Bear Bryant at Kentucky.
 
Serious question: does anybody here know Danny personally? Is he autistic? I don’t want to pick fun at someone who may have a developmental disability.

Sooo...Howard's still not a Junction Boy, then, correct?

At least we now know what name Dannyboycane uses on CIS. "ddann" seems appropriate.

The guy is legit mentally challenged...I don’t think anyone takes him seriously or at least they shouldn’t.
