Three decades covering the #MiamiHurricanes—@BleacherReport, #CanesTime, #allCanesBlog. Rise up #UFAMILY —Mario Cristobal is back in the 305! 🙌🏼 🇺🇸🙌🏼

Just to get this straight, #CarsonBeck spent two years at #Georgia as a back-up on two national title teams—and went 24-3 as a two-year stater in Athens. He got run off by the #Bulldogs when his elbow got wrecked leading his team in an SEC Championship game—as they wanted to
If I'm Carson Beck, I'm having nightmares every night between now and Jan. 19.

Ignore the rage-bait this week and let it wash over you, knowing it's precisely what #MarioCristobal wants for this #MiamiHurricanes team. There is no better fuel for Cristobal's brand of football and style of motivation than ten days of the national sports media, rival fans,

Honestly, how relieved are the college football powers that be, @ESPN, @CollegeGameDay, the @CFBPlayoff folk and fans across the sport that they aren't getting a national title game featuring Indiana in a Big Ten title game rematch against Ohio State ... Indiana against a

... another on-point take from @RomanCane—the Xs and Os side of things, as well as the intangibles and finite details that will determine who wins and who loses this national championship showdown between #Miami and #Indiana.
So how do you beat them ? Well I know what you can’t do. You can’t turn the ball over You can’t let them get loose running the ball You can’t be undisciplined. Every penalty vs them needs to have the mentality that it counts twice. Because they aren’t going to commit

Reminiscing on how far this thing has come over the past four years; stumbled on this article I wrote in early December 2021; the day before Pitt beat Wake Forest in the #ACC title game—and three days before #Miami officially hired #MarioCristobal. A read that still holds up for

It's been days since the Miami Hurricanes ended their 2021 regular season and all remains quiet in Coral Gables—sans a slew of boisterous fans with

Winners win ... took the annual bowl pool for the first time in a decade; like the #Canes, the kid is back—pay up.

#Indiana is No. 1—14-0, Big Ten champs and won both a #RoseBowl and a #PeachBowl this postseason, after handling #Alabama and #Oregon. They're a -7.5 favorite over the #MiamiHurricanes in the upcoming national championship game—as they deserve to be favored; all that 'to be the

Yes. All of this. The mental gymnastics and backflips loser #Oregon fans have gone through the past four years to disparage #MarioCristobal was the only reason I wanted to see #DanLanning and these bum-ass #Ducks at #HardRock in a national title game—to settle things once and
It took Mario Cristobal four years to turn a broken Miami roster into real title contenders. Dan Lanning walked into a 10 win Oregon Ducks program and still can’t win the games that matter Don’t compare builders to beneficiaries. Don’t ever compare my coach to that fraud.

I remember allowing myself to daydream back in November 2017, when that first College Football Playoffs poll was released and Miami came in at No. 2, a week after upsetting No. 3 Notre Dame. Just seeing the #Canes on that screen—that logo up for all the world to see again—it was

Funny to see nut job fans—with low football IQs—sitting here screaming 'pass interference' on the last play of the game. Even saw some #OleMiss supporters talking about the ball being spotted at the 1-yard line, as if these are NFL rules. Pete Golding knew good-and-hell well you
"I mean, there was contact... happens all the time... that's not why we lost the game." Ole Miss head coach Pete Golding shares his thoughts on the final play.

A long rant here ... but there’s a payoff at the end as we break down the journey and lessons learned during this 2025 season for #TheU. If you look at the trajectory of this #MiamiHurricanes’ football season there are so many lessons to be learned from since late August that

Again, I'll give the caveat that it's anybody's game when you reach the final four—the #MiamiHurricanes with as much a shot to beat #OleMiss as the #Rebels have to beat the #Canes in the #FiestaBowl, and vice versa. What's funny is the whole "team of destiny" narrative around

Very valid point; mentioned this to a neighbor who is an Ole Miss fan; maybe the Rebels are some team of destiny and Chambliss is some next-level star this year. But it’s worth noting that Pete Golding, that in-flux staff and that roster faced a marginal Tulane team (who they
Not taking anything away from their wins at all but one aspect no one is talking about for this Thursday is both of OM games they had this CFP were against teams they already played, teams they were already familiar with… Miami is the first team that they have to “fully” game

The bias and hate for the #MiamiHurricanes—dating back to the '80s when #TheU turned the sport of college football upside down—it really is such a disservice to the sport ... and more-so to this #MarioCristobal-led team and yeoman's effort to rebuild this program. Honestly,

Yes, we all know the storylines that would've come from The Beck Bowl and #CarsonBeck getting a 'revenge' game against the #GeorgiaBulldogs in the #FiestaBowl. Don't sleep on the storylines with #OleMiss and #LaneKiffin running his fat mouth last pre-season after Beck joined the

The college football world really can't wrap their heads around what #MarioCristobal has done with these #MiamiHurricanes in the trenches—as it's not the old school brand of #Canes' football they were used to seeing back in the day. #Miami always had some defensive line talent
