Orange Bowl Boys: A Miami Hurricanes Podcast

We are STATE CHAMPS as we get into the huge 28-22 win on the road in Trailer-hassee last night. Everyone has huge props for the defense yet again, and Ro admits he's struggling right now to find holes in this roster. Toast also breaks down the numbers because the game stats really lean in favor of Florida State, largely due to that 4th quarter run. But Scoop goes back to his second key to the game which was the Canes connecting...

It's officially hate week as everyone comes in hot for the showdown with Florida State! Roman reflects on the obnoxious fans we've seen so far this season, from Notre Dame to Florida... but FSU fans are the biggest Karens this side of the Mississippi. And Toast feels like they are going to get exposed because Norvell fell from 13-1 to 2-10 in just one season. Plus it's pretty funny that the GameDay crew was happier to g...

It's a big bye week edition of the show, and we open with some bye week grades for the position groups as we gear up for Florida State. We start with the defense and get into all the things they are doing right, and it starts up front with Mesidor and Bain and just how stifling they are to every defense they face. Roman also breaks down what he's seen so far this season froSCIPLINEm Carson Beck, and how he might have strugg...

It's the 4-0 Recap Show!! And Toast shows up to the show dressed like a priest to administer last rights to the Florida-UM rivalry game, since it won't be played again possibly ever. We start with the big upsides from the win, which starts with how dominant the Miami defense was against the Gators and how we feel like there are no more fire alarms on that side of the ball. They were incredible last night.

Everyone has bi...

It's Florida week and we're joined by hilarious Gator fan Josh Pray!! Right out of the gate everyone calls for a wild scene this Saturday night at Hard Rock and how angry Mario seems going into this week. Josh also breaks down how lost Gator fans were after Lagway's FIFTH interception against LSU and just how delusional their fan base really is after buying into the offseason lies about Florida. And Josh pulls no punche...

There was a lot of Bull Riding on the CW today as the Canes absolutely dominated the South Florida Bulls. Right out of the gate, Roman has props to Miami OC Shannon Dawson for making the offense feel as though it's not missing a lot by losing Cam Ward to the NFL, which seems like an almost impossible task. Scoop also has roses for the offense, especially after this performance over the Bulls, even if there continues to be a com...

It's USF Week and we joke about Scoop being conflicted - as he's a die hard Canes fan, but a USF alum, and even jokes that he was always a Canes fan even when he was a student there. But USF is the darling week, with Josh Pate even putting them at #5 on his Commissioner's Poll. But no one on the show is buying the hype, with Roman even going deep into the film on the USF vs UF game and coming out more impressed with Mia...

We are still coming in hot off that big victory over Notre Dame, and we are thrilled to see the way the defense played against a really tough offense... and Toast is getting cautiously more optimistic. Plus Scoop is finally starting to come around on the wide receivers room, especially after he was bullied by Andrew Novak for not having faith in those guys. And everyone has praise for the overall play of the defense and how that co...

It was a HUGE Week 1 win for the Miami Hurricanes in a straight-up fist fight with Notre Dame. And while we struggled in the fourth quarter, the defense came up big when it counted most and the kicking game delivered. So we start by recognizing Carter Davis who hit a HUGE kick to take the lead late in the fourth quarter, after we spent the week a little afraid of what the kicking game was going to look like. What an ending!

Ther...

We are ready!! It's officially FOOTBALL SEASON as Miami kicks off the 2025 season against Notre Dame this Sunday night and everyone on the show is hyped for this one. The narrative seems to be all about the history of this matchup and Miami never being able to fill the Rock, but we all feel like this one is going to deliver in a huge way for the Canes. But we aren't sleeping on Notre Dame, because Jeremiyah Love and the coa...

We have to open this week's show by addressing the Notre Dame fan base coming for the OBB's this week and how hostile the fan base got over our critique of their program going into the Week 1 showdown. And as we recap the back-and-forths this week, our old friend IP Daley joins the show to drop bombs on the Irish faithful after an eventful week online.

Plus we go through the 2025 Miami Hurricanes schedule and do the win-...

We have officially abandoned the Chapters under the individual head coaches and welcome the fan base to Episode 389 of the Orange Bowl Boys! Roman wore an offensive shirt out in public today which brings about a funny conversation about offensive things we see out in the world. And with the Canes officially in pads we head on down to Greentree, where we jump into the CBS prediction that Miami will lose in Week 1 to Notre Dame. Plus...

Toast's nephew is officially on campus at UM getting ready to play baseball for the Canes, Roman's daughter is his hero, and Metallica's potential residency at the Vegas sphere has us all pumped up for this week's show. And as camp officially opens down in Coral Gables, Mario appears to be more calm and relaxed going into the season, a different vibe from the last few seasons. Scoop is big on Carson Beck as he's...

No chapter number from Toast, Roman has a new favorite whiskey and Scoop hasn't eaten... we get off to a strong start this week as everyone is a bit out of sorts. And we were all pleasantly surprised by Happy Gilmore 2, especially due to the great cameos and all the hilarious appearances by our favorite golfers. Plus we quickly get down to Greentree with news of Carson Beck making the Maxwell watch list, and how confident Roman...

We open the show with the slew of celebrity deaths that landed on us this week, but none harder than the passing of Hulk Hogan, who was a global icon on one of the biggest levels. Of course everyone was bummed about Ozzy's passing, and the tragedy around Malcom Jamal Warner, as our childhood quickly died off this week. 

But we pivot to Miami at ACC Media Days, with great audio from Mark Richt sitting down with Carson, and Ca...

It's stories from Roman's cruise, and how Seal's "Kiss From a Rose" got stuck in Toast's head, as we get into this week's show - where everyone is finally back! And crazy enough we are only six weeks away from our first game against Notre Dame, which means Student of the Game is also just around the corner. The common denominator when evaluating Miami in 2025 seems to be consistently coming back to Carso...

How we start the show with a conversation about "scrotox" is beyond any of us but sure enough that's where things begin this week. But we quickly get down to Greentree and Toast jumps right into the EA College Football 26 rankings for the key players across the roster. And as we really look at the numbers, it's amazing how far off-base some of the EA evaluations are, especially on offense. Plus everyone has a good l...

We kick off the show with Scoop's new Bange hat - even though he hates where the font is located on the hat and immediately bails on it at the start of the show. And as we get down to Greentree, we jump into Athlon's rankings with Miami at #10, and Texas (with a hype man of Paul Finebaum) coming in at #1.

Scoop is also still concerned about the wide receivers and hopes that the tight ends step up to the challenge and Lof...

We are all finally back from vacations and the crew is back together for the first time in a month! Scoop immediately has stories to share from his trip to Paris, including how kind the French were in comparison to the people in South Florida. He also offers up his opinion that French cuisine, while it is held in such high regard, is actually really awful.

As we get down to Greentree, Scoop catches up with some of the topics of ...
