Mario keeps talking about not going back to the old days. But those “old days” are literally what built Miami. That edge, that swagger, that attitude, that we are better than you energy. That is what made teams fear us. That is what turned The U into a national problem.
There was another article where he said we don’t need to celebrate, we don’t need to talk, we don’t need to be that same Miami anymore. And I completely disagree. Our best teams and our best players always had that fire. They talked, they celebrated, they got in your face, and then they backed it up by dominating. That is who we are.
So when Mario sits there and says SMU has as much talent as we do, that is crazy to me. We are Miami. We don’t show respect to the other team. We make the other team fear us. We walk in like we run the field. That has always been our DNA. They’re supposed to fear the colors, fear the logo, fear lining up across from a Miami Hurricane.
So yes. We do need to go back.
We need to bring back the talking.
We need to bring back the celebrating.
We need to bring back the swagger.
We need to bring back running up the score and letting everybody know who we are.
Because when Miami is Miami, nobody in the country wants that smoke. The moment we try to act polite and humble and “professional,” we lose what makes us different.
Let the players celebrate.
Let the players talk.
Let us play Miami football.
And let these teams remember why The U was feared in the first place.
We are quickly approaching the final stretch of the 2025 college football regular season, which means every game from here on out is a pivotal one for every tea
