[grover]

its wild, theres too many. when myself and melvin we were redshirts freshmen for the 84 orange bowl- mel and i made the cover of jet magazine as cheerleaders on the sideline. we knew from the bus ride we were gonna win that game. i never seen the ob that electric ever

Just googled it. Here you go. The OB was the greatest stadium ever:

Tolbert, where can we find some old school style Canes linebackers? Cuz we're desperate ☹

its more of the coaching. from what i see, i dont know what these kids are reading. they more of just running around.

 

[TolbertBainII]

Do you think our problem over recent yrs is strictly on coaching/staff, or the entire infrastructure starting at the BOT/AD level?

me and some other former guys think its a combination of all those things

What’s the most glaring weakness on this team in your opinion?

 

[dolemite79]

How would you and the former players feel about a combination of Mario Cristobal as coach and Alonzo as a director of football ops? Is this something the former players could unite for and tell the administrators to make it happen?

ability to make in game adjustments. this staff and the last 2 staffs thats been the problem.

I totally agree w/ u all, and I believe most here agree w/ u. Most of us was hoping Zo was hired to help redirect us, and bring some semblance & leadership back to the program.

Tolbert, we really appreciate you coming on!

Do you think Diaz can get it done? If not, any ideas on who should lead our program?

I'm getting in on this too.

From your perspective in recruiting, What type of qualities or traits should a Miami Hurricanes player have?

Tolbert were you walking around kindergarten with that deep *** voice?

Tolbert, thanks for coming on. Who was the toughest guy you had to defend on greentree?

The kind guy you thought “I better be on my A game because I don’t want to look foolish trying to cover this guy.”

And “they were all great” doesn’t count for an answer. Hah. Thanks for joining us!
