Which win has been your favorite win of the Mario Christobal Era so far?

For me it's gotta be the taint game.. My buddy and I went to that game and imo it was even better than being at the 2024 gater game. I expected to beat the gater.. that osu team was a different level.
 
Really good question OP

Taint... for selfish reasons
UF...for obvious reasons
Pitt... because I was there with my son
Ol ****...SEC, SEC, SEC
ND...no better combo than an ND loss, a Miami win, and Miami winning against ND
 
OSU. When Keionte Scott took that pick 6, it was the best single moment for me as a Canes fan since my freshman year in ‘04. Complete euphoria. Was sitting around the 40 yard line, home side. The entire Miami fanbase erupted like a bunch of maniacs. I’ve been to almost every home game the past two decades and countless away games….nothing compared to that moment. Add the opponent, what was at stake, the history with them, NYE….just a perfect night all around.

UF ‘24 a close second.

Ole Miss because of the back and forth and when Beck ran it in, I honestly just sat there in disbelief. Insane emotions realizing we were going to the national championship.

I loved A&M too. Slugfest and battle all day. It was like a chess match…see who could make a mistake first. Then Mali and Fitz winning it at the end…just complete validation that we deserved to be in the CFP and shut a lot of people up.

Ohio State 2025 was surreal. I’m still not sure that actually happened. I’m over 40 now. I wish you could all see the ******* leap I made when Scott crossed the face of Smith and flashed across the LOS. I felt like I jumped into outer space.

The Ole Miss ending nearly brought me to tears bc I just never sincerely saw us in another championship.

UF 2024 was really fun because it was a glimpse.

Any time we beat ND is joy.

Hope this stuff continues a little longer. I was skeptical we’d ever see it again.

A few of my favorites are :

Cam Ward draining the Swamp in his UM Debut

Cam's shootout @ Louisville to win the golden boots

Cam Ward leading a 20pt comeback in the 4th @ Cal

Miami beating ND putting everyone on notice

Malachi Toney turning Tallahassee into Malihassee

Miami's 1000 Silencing A&M's 100,000 winning our first CFP game in a defensive slug fest

Miami avenging the '02 Natty loss vs Ohio State in the cotton bowl

Carson Beck sending Miami home to play for a chance to win a national championship & ending the fiesta bowl curse

If I had to pick one , Cam Ward's debut is probably my favorite. As soon as he took the field you could feel something was different about that team. I've never seen someone so calm under stress to the point where he was literally walking away from defenders running full speed at him. His debut was the start of Miami re-establishing their dominance over the sport.

Most meaningful was breaking that **** fiesta bowl curse.
 
You hoes haven’t been paying attention. Mario’s been telling you the answer. The best win is the next one. 1-0.




Seriously though, ND, UF, 8&4, OSU (as heavy favorites), might be the best season you can have without winning a championship.

Pitt

Road game in the ACC in November against a tough team with our entire livelihood on the line

That one victory went on to change the entire trajectory of the program

We exorcised about 100 demons that day

(Ohio State is close just the way we physically dominated them and played clean af)

Agreed, although manhandling OSU was epic. Anyone watching that game knew off rip that Taint was in trouble.

UF in 24 definitely up there. We had all heard about Cam in preseason, then he puts on a show and it’s “oh yeah, we got us one.”

Ohio St. I mean if you be objective for one minute, Miami dominated that entire game. A score was lost on the Fletcher fumble. Beck clearly had a 1st down that would have led to another score. Ohio St. had no answer for either DL or OL. It was beautiful to watch.

And they’re preseason #1– and we’d still kick the snot outta them
 
NOTRE DAME BECAUSE I ******* HATE THEM
FLORIDA TWICE BECAUSE I ******* HATE THEM
OHIO STATE BECAUSE ******* PAYBACK (light version no natty on line but maybe blocked them from one) AND I ******* HATE THEM




FSU IS TOO SAD TO VALUE

I appreciated the Pitt win but for me it's OSU in the Cotton Bowl all day. Before we played Pitt I knew that something had changed within our team and that Pitt would have nothing for us. I never bought into the narrative that we were going up there to chit the bed in the cold. That OSU game coming off the road win at ATM really put the college football world on notice. However there is no "wrong" answer here.
