Getting copied YET AGAIN

Really? I didn't know this. Any story you can share of how this came to be?

I'm a huge fan of learning the history behind my sports teams etc.

It was started by Bear Bryant and brought to Miami by Howard Schnellenberger who was an Assistant Coach for Bear Bryant in 61'

Yeah, I didn't think we invented that. Thanks

I’m not certain how accurate that is. Watch the 1987 FSU game at the start of the 4th and you’ll see the sideline reporter explain what Miami does at the start of the 4th.

That's after Schnellenberger was gone.. What's your point

That was 3 years after he left. You mean to tell me no one noticed the 4 fingers until 1987? Not buying it.

No I just agree with the fellas above. Bear Bryant started it

Fair enough. I was born in 82, so i never witnessed those Bama teams. When you watch the 87 FSU game, they made it seem like it was never seen before.
 
What's priceless is knowing that some Domers are actually going to wear that ish into the stadium parking lot thinking they're cool and they're either going to get beat down, have the chain snatched, or be ridiculed by throngs of people to the point where they'll wish they never wore it. I seriously hope they wear that to the game, the more the better.
 
I saw on twitter where one of the liberty city warriors teams has a chain. Get it in these young kids minds to where the chain that is being used by the Hurricanes.

It's a sad fact that it was originated under Bryant at Bama.

It's a happy fact that Schnellenberger brought it to Miami, and Miami made it famous. Not too long after Miami made it cool, everybody jumped on the bandwagon.

Bear Bryant may have done the four fingers first. But Alabama never - ever - used it.

UM starts using it - and because UM was on TV all the time even when there were only three networks - everyone saw UM doing it - and because UM was cool - that too was copied by others.

The smoke. UM is the most copied college football team ever.

The 4-3 defense was known as the Miami 4-3.

UM made the single back offense popular.

UM made personal foul penalties - a joke. How, exactly, do you have a 3rd and 43 - and then MAKE it?

UM is also responsible for more NCAA college football rules than any other team in America.

UM is the original. All others are imitators.
 
everyone copies us....you all see how everyone has smoke now?

Miami also started the 4 fingers up in the end of the 3rd Quarter tradition.

We did not but we certainly were the ones to give it light.
