I believe that the state was actually named in the mid-'70s, inspired by our split-U.Uhh, Utah has been doing the U hand signal longer than we have, IIRC.

Not gonna lie, I'm a bit jealous that Washington comes out in purple smoke. No one at Miami has ever thought of G&O smoke?!?!?Ive been saying this for many years now. UM is THE Trend Setter in college athletics and beyond.
* The Canes had been running through the smoke for decades. Now just about every college and pro team comes out running through the smoke. ****, 2/3rds of NFL teams take the ice skating through the smoke.
* Four fingers to signify the fourth quarter. Howard brought this to UM from Alabama. When UM did it and won, the entire nation copied it. EVERY college football team now does it. It was UM that put this on the big stage.
* UM created the turnover chain. The very next season every single team in college football had some form of turnover trinket.
* UM did away with the turnover chain. Now you dont see turnover trinkets being celebrated on TV. I suspect within the next couple years, everyone will drop their turnover trinkets.

Is it weird that it’s not mentioned anywhere in this article that Miami is both the original “The U” and the hand signal? They mention lots of other schools and their traditional hand gestures. What gives lol?
nope, they started 97-98
That would be HARD..Not gonna lie, I'm a bit jealous that Washington comes out in purple smoke. No one at Miami has ever thought of G&O smoke?!?!?

That's a fair assessment. And the DJ needs to die slow death...figuratively speaking.My initial thought is that would be cool to come out to the orange and green smoke. But then my analytical side kicks in and I realize that UM would have the team running through pink smoke during cancer awareness month and rainbow colored smoke to celebrate pride stuff. lol
Just cannot trust the UM administration to do ANYTHING right. ****, we're just trying to get the **** DJ to stop playing over the games.
