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

1. Ole Miss -- Biggest win we've had in 20 years, just an A+ college football game from jump, even though we made it closer than it should've been. The 4th quarter was an all-timer, the last drive will live in my head for the rest of my life. I've probably watched it 30 times. And I was there.

2. Ohio's Taint -- Massive underdog, never trailed in the game, pushed the big, bad Suckeyes all over the field. Had club seats on the 50, just a perfect way to spend New Year's Eve

3. Florida 2024 -- Genuinely one of the best days of my life. I sat right on the 50, home side, surrounded by all Bull Gators, BY MYSELF. And we beat the everloving **** out of them. I had so many people wanting to fight me, and I wasn't even really *that* obnoxious (I don't think). Screaming WON'T BACK DOWN and laughing at them at the end of the 3rd quarter will be etched in my memory forever. Watching them file out genuinely miserable. I hate these people with all my soul. It's WAY more than football, or sports. I genuinely despise gators as humans, which calling them that is a stretch. It's genuine hatred, not silly rivalry hatred. I wish the absolute worst for them, in life. So sitting in the middle of all their big donors just watching Miami kick their **** in for 3 straight hours was honestly up there with the 5 best days of my life.

4. ND 2025 -- Another incredible college football game. Was there as well. Anytime you beat ND, it's a wonderful night. And that one felt BIG. Wound up being the difference in making the playoff, obviously. But just being in that atmosphere, watching Bain and Mesi end their hopes, at night...just an incredible evening.

5. A&M 2023 -- Unpopular opinion, and obviously the wheels fell off, but 2022 was *SO* awful. When we won this game, obviously we weren't back, but it was the first time I felt we were headed in the right direction under Mario.

Cal 2024 was fun, but insanely stressful. I legitimately did not sleep that night, I laid in bed at about 4am, finally, and just gave up at about 6 and made some coffee.

A&M 2025 was INCREDIBLE, but the game wasn't overly amazing. Both offenses stuck in mud, missed kicks, drops, fumbles. Amazing win, and the end was great, but I don't think that was a 10/10 football game.
 
It has to be the Cotton Bowl.

When we got into the CFP, I was happy to just be there, and considered the season a success no matter what.

But when we beat Ohio State, I no longer was content with just being there, we could actually win the whole **** thing, and we got so close!
 
I swear I've watched that pick six by Keionte Scott in the Taint game over 1,000 times; on every broadcast version available and in every language. Words cant begin to describe how much i hate the bucknutz. ITS THE EFFING TAINT GAME BRO. The only thing that would have made that beatdown sweeter is if Cam “Iceman” Ward was the signal caller. Can ya’ll imagine the **** Ward would have been talking to them?!?? Nope.

I agree. Don't know how to explain it but the relief I felt on Cam's first drive changed the trajectory that 20 years of losing set in the spirit of the program/fanbase/players. Not even Mario was immune to depths we fell to (Middle Tennessee/Ga Tech kneel)

After that Gator game was done and Cam and Jacolby had Gator DBs standing in the bushes, I knew the time of our guys looking afraid in big games was in the past. Shoutout Cam for real

That was awesome because it made me feel like we could be on our way up. Smashing a rival in their house is gonna feel awesome but the gators weren't a top tier opponent. It was a good win for the outlook of the season but OSU should be a good win for the outlook of the next several years.
 
Hands down when we had the fckn gaytor hiding in them bushes and crazy females trynna reroute croots 🤣 🤣 changed the entire trajectory after that game.
(Altho immensely happier now that we're FinUlly eFFiShunT)

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.

None of the teams listed were as hyped, talent wise, as the Buckeyes. Sticking it to them was so amazingly satisfying.

I think Mario was trying to serve a 60 steak on Manny, as he should have for leaving the mess Mario had to clean up.

We had also lost to Duke previously in 2022 in embarrassing fashion.

So the 24 game was great revenge against a former division rival.
 
Being at the Ole Miss game legit was an indescribable feeling! Definitely that one! I stayed in the stands for an hour afterwards taking it all in


Honorable Mention: Notre Dame the crowd was electric!
