Orange Bowl Boys: A Miami Hurricanes Podcast

Well... that sucked. And you can tell from the start that Scoop was the only person who wasn't on the watch-along because he was shockingly optimistic, saying everything is still right in front of you. Toast's opening rant is also directed largely at Canes fans who are folding up stakes on the season after only losing ONE game so far this year.  Plus Roman GOES OFF because of just how bad...

It's Georgia Tech week!! And sure enough this series is split evenly at 14-14 all time and Toast says that even though we're the better team, the Jackets are always a tough game.  Scoop is also concerned that the Georgia Tech offense could give Miami fits this weekend, as it's a very similar look to Virginia Tech, and Roman brings that point home by pointing out how on-the-nose Vegas h...

Your Miami Hurricanes are now 9-0!! Scoop recaps his experience at the game as the Canes mounted a massive second half comeback, and he offers props from the top to Xavier Restrepo for breaking the Miami Hurricanes record for all-time receiving yards and receptions on a massive touchdown. Scoop also believes that Cam Ward has the quickest release since Dan Marino, leading to our latest trend #CamM...

It's DUKE week, and even though Miami rolls in undefeated... this game is still scaring the guys. Because if anyone could screw up Miami's roll this season it would be Manny Diaz.  And before we get too far down the Duke rabbit hole this week, we do a post mortem on the Florida State Seminoles with some of the wildest stats of the week on FSU's decline. We also touch on the rumors that...

Your Miami Hurricanes are 8-0!! We open what is a celebratory show with condolences to the Fletcher family after the passing of Mark's father, Big Mark, and what an emotional and special game that was for Mark. Scoop also has high grades for this Miami team, despite the lack of fanfare from the fan base, by saying this was Miami running a state rival out of the building, with the exception of...

Toast survived Louisville and just got his voice back for this week's show, and just in time because it's HATE WEEK as we load up for FSU! Scoop also says the Taylor Swift was the loudest experience of his life, and Roman compares it to the UF game when Devin Hester took one to the house. It always comes back to the U... And somehow as we start to break down hate week, it's somehow eve...

We open the show with a blind drunk Toast checking in live from Louisville, who recaps his drunken tear through Kentucky including Bourbon tours, $125 shots and fights in the stands. What an epic trip he got to take with some loyal OBB listeners. And of course the conversation quickly turns to the defense who was a bit of a mess today in a slugfest with Louisville, as Ro does his best Student of t...

It's Louisville week, and Toast is headed to Kentucky for the game this weekend as the Canes try to keep the wins rolling. Ro also took a preview look at Louisville on this week's Student of the Game and it was Louisville running back Isaac Brown that jumped off the tape as someone the Canes will have to account for all game. We also lay out this week's Underdog Fantasy higher/lower pi...

Even though the Canes didn't play this weekend, it didn't stop us from recapping the weekend in College Football as we gear up for Louisville this Saturday!  Toast's trip to the Savannah Bananas game spawns one of the best dive-bar stories from South Florida we've ever heard! But we quickly pivot back to college football because we had a lot of overtime games and games coming down...

It's the bye week show and we're still riding high at 6-and-0, and we love that the Miami Hurricanes are once again the most hated team in college football! And we relish in the hatred toward the U because everyone hates Miami when they're at their best. Toast points out that the two questionable calls literally changed the team's record from 4-and-2 to 6-and-0, but he doesn't...

The Miami Hurricanes pulled off what could be the greatest comeback in program history only hours ago, which means there is a LOT to break down in the Recap Shoooow! And if you went to bed early thinking Miami lost this one you missed an unbelievable comeback in the early hours of the morning.  While everyone is thrilled that they got this comeback win, Roman feels like we're limping into the...

We start the show as the UM equipment truck is in the middle of a LONG haul across the country to get the team's gear to California, and along with that comes a featured College GameDay matchup on ESPN. And somehow the late overturned TD from the end of the Virginia Tech game is still a narrative coming into this game. Roman also talks about Kiko's low rating against the Hokies and why he...

Listen, momma said there’d be games like this. It definitely was not pretty, but in the end, a conference win is a win. 5-0 (1-0) will work and we continue on. Obviously, there is a lot to unpack here…we start with the final play. Was it a TD or not? We all agreed it was not and Ro made a great point. If you think that was a TD, you are a pure Miami hater. All three of us were stunned that the ACC...

It is the dawn of ACC play with the Canes taking on Va Tech tomorrow night at the Rock! The guys discussed the amazing start and what their worries might be heading into this game. Toast has a little concern that Va Tech might finally show the promise everyone thought they’d have pre-season. Meanwhile, Scoop would really like to see them run the ball in dominating fashion. We had a bunch of fun ma...

It was another HUGE win for the Miami Hurricanes as they beat the South Florida Bulls 50-15 in Tampa... which means it's another fun Recap Shooow!! The first half of this game was a struggle for the Canes with some unforced errors, but still hit the half up 7. Then they came out in the second half and ran the Bulls out of the building. Mario challenged the defense to try and pitch a shutout in...

Scoop is coming in hot as the show's sole USF alum, and he immediately jokes that this week he's realized that USF fans border on the annoyance level of UCF fans. This branches into a discussion about who the most annoying fan base in Florida really is, and it's hard for anyone to top UF. And where exactly do you draw the line for "South Florida"? And as we dive into the specif...

The Canes did something none of us saw coming as they ran Ball State out of the building, which makes for a total blast of a Recap Shooooow! It was a record setting day for Miami as they ran up 750 total yards, the first time they've done that in 20 years. Cam Ward was exceptional again yesterday, as was the line because he had all the time in the world to do what he wanted to do. And everyone...

Everyone comes in high off the FAMU win, but Ro still feels like it's a make-or-break week because he needs to see the team make a statement against a team you're a heavy favorite over. But Scoop feels like UM is now beyond the "not being ready" stage of the season and they should roll easily against an inferior opponent. Shannon Dawson also said UM has been pretty "basic"...

Miami's home opener was a blowout as the Canes rolled to a huge 56-9 victory vs Florida A&M... so it's time for the Recap Shooooow! Cam Ward continued to shine as the #CAMpaign24 efforts got three passing TDs and one on the ground as he continued to look like the exceptional player he was billed as in the preseason. And both Toast and Ro are thrilled to see the involvement of the tight...

After a HUGE win at the Swamp, the OBBs are ROLLING into their Week 2 preview, as the Canes face Florida A&M at Hard Rock Stadium. And of course we have to open the show by dancing on Florida State's grave, before diving into the future of Billy Napier at Florida as his 7-year deal was almost fully guaranteed. And with politics surrounding the President resigning at Florida, Billy might ge...

Miami rolled into the Swamp and came away with a HUGE Week 1 victory on the road... which means the guys are on full tilt for the Recap Show! Everyone is flying high on the heels of an absolute whooping that Miami opened up on the Gators.  We go through the highlights of Cam Ward's amazing debut for Miami, including the gunslinger pick he threw, and how great he was after that moment. Plus how...

IT'S GATORS WEEK!! HERE WE GO!! The season kicks off Saturday in the Swamp, and we immediately head down to Greentree to preview the Week 1 matchup with Florida. And somehow the ESPN computers have us at 57% to lose! So Toast wants to know what scares us about the game, and the guys believe it's genuinely a mix of the venue and the expectations. Toast, however, feels the coaching staff nee...

We are getting SO CLOSE to the kickoff of the season and we're already trying to figure out what picks to dive into in the Week 0 matchups. Pro Football Focus also set us on our side this week by going in even bigger by putting Miami at #12. As we continue to do the math we wonder how ESPN has us going 8-4 with a fully healthy roster and how the Canes can prove them wrong. And listeners want t...

PGA pro golfer and friend of the show Andrew Novak joins the show for the entire hour, and not only is he a huge Canes fan but also gets into the depths of fantasy football as the fall closes in. We also dive into Miami falling in at #19 in the AP Top 25, after finishing in the same spot in the Coaches Poll, and where we all see the losses coming this season. Novak also talks about the mixed bag o...

We open the show this week by diving into the first preseason AP Coaches Poll which had Miami coming in at #19, and Roman makes an argument about why that ranking could even be better, going as far as saying if we were an SEC school we could be a Top 5 team with our roster. And with reports that Dawson is truly calling plays, and having three receivers on the Biletnikoff Award watch list, everyone...
