If you could reverse the outcome of one game in Hurricanes history, which would it be?

Would have been a 5-peat.

We won it in 1989 as well.

1986 vs Penn State?
1988 vs Notre Dame?
2002 vs Ohio State?
This year vs Indiana?
Others?

And the reason why? For example, beating Ohio State (which was pure robbery) would have been back-to-back national championships.

All painful loses, but it's the OSU game for sure. Because we got screwed on the last play of the game to win a championship. Would've been back to back. Would've kept unbeaten streak going into the following year. That was the greatest collection for football players ever put together. They deserved more that one championship. Their run started off with getting screwed by the computer and left out of the champ in 2000.

The seeds for the mess the program became started with Donna and her contract issues with Butch, followed by hiring Uncle Larry. This was followed by 20+ years of non investment in program, a lousy BOT, a revolving door at AD role. The non investment to me was the killer as we were cutting investments as college football was becoming an arms race
So it was a double whammy. To have a great program everyone from President, AD, BOT, Alumni HC and staff must all be aligned for success
We got screwed sure but warning signs were in place before OSU debacle

Off topic I know but sometimes I think about how close Miami was to a 4-peat.

Beat Tennessee in the '86 Sugar Bowl--Champs
Beat the Pedos in the '87 Fiesta---Champs
Won it in the '87 season.
Beat ND in '88? Who was going to beat Miami? WVirginia? Please., lol.

Other than the Tennessee game, only a few points kept us from a three-peat. Amazing dominance.

Move it up one year.
Two plays gets us the 4-peat from '86-'89.

I have a feeling this past Natty game will be a part of a similar post a few years from now :neonu:

Indiana easily. The opportunity to win it at home is extremely rare. Plus, I was there so obviously would have been nice to witness that in person, smh.
 
Flip a coin for osu and this year

Always have felt like only having 1 championship with those rosters from 2000-2002 was an underachievement

This year because of how we rose from the dead

2026 vs IU for obvious reasons.

2000 vs Washington a close second but the success was sending Butch to the pros either way so it wouldn’t have changed Coker getting the job or why happened in 2003 onwards.

Still think VT in the Fiesta Bowl does what he did regardless of the fatigues so we’re not overcoming VT regardless of what anyone else did - definitely not counting that one

If 2000 doesn't fall short by such a small margin, does 2001 end up being as hungry?

I would have had that same feeling if Miami would have actually lost but being cheated out playing for a title and being cheating out of winning another changes things IMO.

Honestly we could've hired someone other than Coker.
 
None, everything happens for a reason…… all the pain Miami has ever received vengeance followedright after it
