Orange Bowl Boys: A Miami Hurricanes Podcast

We open the show this week with more talk about the Miami Baseball team and try to figure out the last time Miami was .500 this far into the season. And Toast pivots us quickly to a strange question - is it okay to shower naked while also bathing your pet? After a few wild laughs we quickly pivot to Canes spring practice, especially the emergence of CJ Daniels as the leader of the wide receiver ro...

Right out of the gate everyone jumps on the Miami baseball team for their "lackluster" performance as of late, especially after getting run-ruled by Florida State and a horrendous showing against Stetson. We also spin into MLB Opening Day before getting down to Greentree, which offroads into how long the MLB season should be, as 162 games is just too many. Everyone is also hyped to have Xa...

We open with the case of Beck vs Cavinder, as relationship drama has seized Miami spring camp. Scoop immediately puts Carson on Heisman watch now that he has no distractions which spins into a hilarious comparison of Carson's life as of late to a country song. And do the Canes need another receiver with Ray Ray and Jo Jo showing out this spring? Maybe these new tight ends can fill some of that...

It's Spring practice in Miami and the guys are excited to talk football with Shawne Merriman! And as Spring ball rolls on we are starting to turn up the hype level on the 2025 Canes as guys like Hayden Lowe start to show out and impress the coaching staff. Plus everyone seems to be big on the defensive additions including Xavier Lucas, who Wisconsin continues to whine about losing which tells...

Scoop started a bit in the group chat this week regarding a current picture of a former rocker, that turned out to be Wes Borland from Limp Bizkit... and he's getting the full backstory about the band on the "Disrespectfully" podcast, which is a wild story. And as we get down to Greentree we get into the settlement of the FSU and Clemson lawsuit against the ACC, with payouts coming to...

Toast opens this week's show by sharing a story about how his wife was attacked by a wild animal during her morning Yoga... as she had an encounter with a puss caterpillar. We didn't realize that they were extremely poisonous but Toast learned when his wife almost ended up in the emergency room.  We go down to Greentree and start with the news that Miami's new head basketball coach wil...

It's a random wrestling conversation to start the show this week, as we talk about Miami's new coaching additions. We end up in a debate about our favorite wrestlers and who made the biggest impact on the shows in the last 20 years. We are joined by a UM alum and media legend Roy Firestone and immediately joke about how much we are dating ourselves by remembering the highlights of Roy'...

Like always we open the show on a curve ball as we learn that Scoop does the show in pajama pants that he does not sleep in and wears for like an hour before bed. But we quickly jerk the wheel to Greentree as we take a look at Miami's newest coaching addition, Damione Lewis, who will line up next to Jason Taylor to help with the defensive line. Plus Miami's coaching staff lands high marks...

We open the show Scoop-less this week, but get right into Miami's top-rated portal class in 2025 - which was expected after we rebuilt the secondary and got the top QB in the portal for the second year in a row. And Toast and Roman react to the FanDuel line of 8.5 wins for Miami this season, as they take a look at the ACC schedule and try to figure out how Clemson and North Carolina will fare...

We open our series of offseason interviews with a sports legend - Chris Myers from Fox Sports. We quickly get into Chris being friends with Bill Murray (who wrote the foreword for his new book) and Chris shares some hilarious stories from their friendship over the years. Plus Chris got his start in Miami working alongside the legendary voice of the Canes, Sonny Hirsch, and all the Miami Hurricanes...

It's whiskey talk at the top of the show as Ro celebrates Whiskey Wednesday and fills us in on the best new trends. We also talk about New York Yankee Steakhouse, our kids athletic accomplishments coming into the week and memories of Scoop and Roman's band. And as we head on down to Greentree, Toast has to take up for setting Twitter on fire with some comments about how the Miami administr...

One of the biggest stories in the country has been the transfer of cornerback Xavier Lucas from Wisconsin to Miami, and sports attorney Darren Heitner has been representing him in the case. Heitner, a UM adjunct professor of NIL at UM School of Law, has been frequently posting on social media in defense of his client, and he joins the Orange Bowl Boys to break down this wild case. The Big Ten rele...

The University of Miami has a new Defensive Coordinator... and we somehow open the show with the alleged Barack Obama affair rumors because we simply cannot believe who is involved! We head on down to Greentree as we dive head first into Corey Hetherman as he takes the reins as the new Miami DC. And while there has been a lot of "coach speak" coming from him so far, the game film backs up...

Ro's been saying it for weeks - Miami needed "a dude" at quarterback. And Miami got their dude in UGA transfer Carson Beck. So the opening question is whether the guys are happy with their dude. And it seems everyone thinks this was the best move possible as Mario has somehow locked down one of the top QBs in the portal again. Jenners offers up some insight as a UGA insider on the cali...

It's an off season show that opens with conversation about the crazy wild fires burning out of control in California, as we have friends affected by the massive destruction. But we quickly pivot to Greentree as Toast asks the show if we can remember the last time a Miami player was heavily considered to go #1 in the NFL Draft. And we're quickly reminded that Vinny Testaverde and Russell Ma...

We open with the biggest news of the week as the University of Miami has parted ways with defensive coordinator Lance Guidry. Everyone immediately starts throwing candidates into the conversation, even though Roman believes they are close to a new hire already. And with the portal firing on all cylinders, that might be Miami's only saving grace as they make such a huge change on defense. The d...

It's IMMEDIATE reaction to the Canes blowing a late lead and losing the Pop Tarts Bowl 42-41 vs Iowa State - as we record the show during our live stream immediately following the final whistle. Roman joins the show and has to answer the question of the fourth quarter... If the Canes are losing late and you need a game-winning drive, do you put Cam Ward back in for the end of the game? Everyon...

We open the show with some hilarious talk about Roman's new 3-Bugle fireman's hat, which launches us into a hilarious round of "hat talk" that somehow culminates in a full Santa Scoop outfit. We also get down to Greentree as we watch the Washington State portal QB John Mateer choose Oklahoma over Miami, which we can't really figure out with Oklahoma's offensive line. So we...

We open the show with talk of Roman's new roaster, and how everyone on the show has a different approach to cooking that style of food... Toast loves it, while Scoop says he'll never remember to start it on time. And of course, that somehow launches the debate about whether or not Cam Ward will, or should, play in the Pop Tarts Bowl while Miami has nothing on the line. Everyone falls in on...

In an effort to avoid talking about the fallout from the Canes missing the College Football Playoff, we decide to open with National Signing Day and the Canes coming in with the 14th best class in the nation. And with Mario pulling the top class in the ACC, it still feels like his class suffered from the team being left out of the Playoff.  Toast also expresses his disappointment in the fan base&#...

Well... that was a terrible way to end the regular season... Toast immediately wants to know why the defense failed to make any defensive adjustments after Syracuse seemed to make all of the adjustments to overcome a 21-point deficit. Roman also reminds everyone that he has been a beeping smoke detector all season about how bad the defense has been and it was ignored and sure enough burned the hou...

It's Hate Week Part Two... because the world of hate coming at the University of Miami this week is just wild.  Scoop also gets on an early tirade after Cam Ward missed out as a finalist for the Maxwell Award, as Dillon Gabriel of Oregon made the cut ahead of him along with Travis Hunter and Ashton Jeanty... and he hangs it yet again on the defense. There were also obvious snubs in the Biletni...

That's a 10 WIN SEASON for your Miami Hurricanes!! Scoop reminded us again that, hey, everything's fine if you just weather the first half - or in today's contest, the first quarter. And now it's just one more game, where you have to beat Syracuse on the road, to face off against SMU who punched their ticket to the ACC Championship Game this weekend. And in the case of Dr. Jekyll a...

It's Wake Forest week! And we are joined by Roddy Jones, who will be calling the Miami game this weekend! We open on Greentree as we try to figure out why Guidry has an "everything is fine" approach after a week where the defense greatly underperformed. Scoop is afraid that the poor play of the defense could cost Cam Ward a Heisman. And Roman is frustrated that after one bad game, Cam...

It's the final bye week of the season, and it comes at a much needed time coming off a loss and it was clear everyone needed a reset. We also get our first look at the College Football Playoff Rankings since Miami lost to Georgia Tech, and Miami comes in at #9 but would still draw a #4 seed as the ACC's top team. We go down to Greentree, which is still littered with the debris of the loss...
