When old pics are posted can we please get a snapshot of who they are and their contributions to the program please? There are quite a few that are posted that I don’t know who they are. I love learning about old Canes that I didn’t know.

SI always gotta throw shade

Historically, this was the mood of the nation. The Miami Hurricanes were the interlopers; they did not “belong” with the blue-bloods of college football and had been a tough out for the previous 5-10 years. This SI is before the Fatigues at the Fiesta, this was after Miami went to Norman, OK, UNRANKED, and beat #3 Barry Switzer team. And then, to end the regular season, mercilessly tarred and feathered Gerry Faust in the Orange Bowl.

In short(er): it really wasn’t considered shade. Miami was that good and though the world knew what was coming, they didn’t want to accept it.

But our schedule wasn’t bad then. So why did they say it was a cream puff schedule ?

They Destroyed Faust in 1985..not 1986

Brother, I know that…Faust was destroyed the same season they beat OU in Norman and 10 months BEFORE that cover. And many in the nation couldn’t accept Miami beating OU or the defrocking of the south bend schools athletic franchise.

if you read the post again you’ll see that’s what I said.

Looking back…

- Miami beat OU for the second time in two years in a #1 v #2 matchup (OU/Switzer would take Miami off the schedule for future games)
- Miami beat #20 FSU 41-23 (FSU was the only team to score two TD’s before the 4th Q). UF scored 15 (3FG). OU scored 16. South Carolina scored 14 while losing by 20 (all 14 scored in the 4th Q when the dogs had been called) and WV scored 14 — when Miami scored 58. Miami played 9 unranked teams out of 11 and outside of Rivalry games and the 1v2 matchup, none scored more than 1 TD. This was domination.
