Worse loss probably 58-0 at home vs Clemson. Yeah we fired Golden so it was a positive but just embarrassing. Midd Tenn last year was tough, losing to FIU with Manny was tough.
Where does one begin lol. Best Win as a younger Canes fan would be ND 2017. Loss? All of them but I'd go with the FSU 2021 debacle or Pitt 2017 game when we were undefeated. Had to get a new phone after Kenny Pickett torched us
I was at the FSU game in 2015 in Tallahassee and we had been down all night. An When Brad Kaaya hit Coley to take the lead in the 4th I thought we had it. I jumping up and down going crazy with all the other Miami fans. An when we ended up losing I was hurt. I parked my car on FAMU's campus and had a long *** walk back. During the walk back a bunch of FSU fans were walking next to me making fun of me. It's something I will never forget for the rest of my life. But when I went up for the 2019 FSU game and we beat the **** out of them. I talked so much **** to those FSU fans boy I know they were sick of me.
Win - FSU 2002
Loss - Duke 2013. 99% sure we would have clinched the Corstal if we won this game and captured some needed momentum in year 3 of Golden. But Duke ran it straight down Donofrios throat to the tune of 358 yards.
WIN:
November 24, 1989.
Miami routs #1 ND 27-10 at the OB. Avenging a 31-30 loss at South Bend the season prior. Among the big plays was a famous 3rd-43 pass from Craig Erickson to Randall Hill for a first down, leading to a TD and a 24-10 lead. Propelled the Canes to their 3rd national championship.
I was also celebrating by 25th birthday.
LOSS:
I would say the opening game loss at BYU in 1990. Opened the season ranked #1, defending national champ. Canes had no answer for BYU offense. Ty Detmer more or less won the Heisman that night. I think he passed for over 400 yards. At least the 46-3 Cotton Bowl win over Texas made up for a ‘disappointing’ 10-2 season.
Earlier that day I had spread some of my father‘s ashes at Pebble Beach golf course.
Regular season win: at VT in 2005 (shut their crowd up against Marcus Vick).
Regular season loss: home against GT (maybe the same year). Had a chance to get into BCS top two but couldn’t stop fullback dive and died by a million cuts.
I have trouble saying one clearly stands above all others because they felt so different depending on the circumstance, but 2 cases come to mind when the wins and losses were so close in time that it made the dramatic difference hard to accept.
1998 Lose to Syracuse 66-13. One week later, beat #3 UCLA
2017 Beat #3 Notre Dame 41-8. Two weeks later, lose to unranked Pitt.
Regular season…. Best: Miami over FSU 27-24 in 2000, a game that showed we were back. Worst: hail Flutie game.. yes… I was there, and I am really that old.
Too many great wins, can not pick the best.
Worst, Loss to Virginia in the last Orange Bowl game ever, Virginia 48 canes 0.
Second worst home shutout loss in school history, after how great the Orange Bowl had been for us.
W - 2000 FSU
L - 2002 OSU but not because of a bad call. It was not getting off the field on 4th And whatever it was with a national championship on the line.
