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 Ca…

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 t…

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 recei…

We kick off Chapter 131 by getting into a bunch of audio from Day 1 of Miami Hurricanes camp - including Cam Ward calling some guys out for giving in to the heat, and how the defense won the first day. Plus we are loving what Cam has to say about Sam Brown and Damien Martinez as strong additions to the offense. We're also joined by an OBB favorite,…

We come out straight Bange-in this week after a week off and the A.I. almost got us cancelled. Ro shares a story about a teenage girl admitting she's "catch a charge" to be with his son, Scoop has picked up glass blowing, and Toast chose to do a whole lot of nothing with his time off. We also discuss the NCAA lawsuits being settled, eliminating wal…

We have SO much Canes content on the plate this week, and we start with rumors that both FSU and Clemson have been sent packing by both the Big10 and the SEC. And with that rumor comes another that the Big 12 is looking to poach up to six schools from the ACC and we break down some of the more intriguing matchups from that possibility. And just how…

We open the show with Roman's son playing his last little league game, with him crying his eyes out in front of his boy, and how Scoop gets emotional around his kids and their sports also. Which somehow spins into a conversation about conference allegiances outside of your team. Plus as we dive into our Hurricanes Football talk for the week, Toast …

We are all high on the Florida Panthers winning the Stanley Cup in an epic Game 7, everyone reflects on their favorite moments from the night and the subsequent morning after at the Elbo Room!

We open the show this week with a new University President at Miami, as Julio Frenk moves on to UCLA and Joe Echevarria stepping in as interim President, which is a great thing for the football program!

Roman's having back problems, Toast is working a lot, and Scoop is all over the place as we get things rolling this week.

Somehow we get into…

Facial hair and Brazilian waxes open up this week's show for some reason, but we quickly transition to the "all in" proposition for the Canes as we get into Summer. Everyone has strong feelings about the defensive line, pointing out that seasons we felt confident were years when the defense was relentless. Toast hopes this "all in" mentality transl…

More big signings have everyone drinking on a weeknight, as we talk about the big defensive end that Mario just landed in the portal... and the pressure continues to mount.

The boys are back and we immediately dive into Mario's ever-growing expectations as the roster continues to grow. But with such big expectations, we need more than just a roster that looks good on paper, it needs to work on the field.
