It's the PLAYOFF SEMIFINAL PREVIEW SHOW!!! #10 MIAMI vs #6 OLE MISS in the VRBO Fiesta Bowl... for a shot to play for the National Championship on January 19th!!

We are all HYPED as we get ready to take on Ole Miss for a shot to play at HOME for the National Championship... even if they make us sit on the visitor side because we would technically be the lower seed if we make it. And we open with an all-time quote from OC Sha...

The Miami Hurricanes secured a monumental victory over Ohio State, marking their biggest win in 20 years. The game, which ended with a 24-14 scoreline, saw Miami emerging victorious despite being 10-point underdogs. This victory propels Miami to the semi-finals, highlighting their physical prowess o...

It's the PLAYOFF QUARTERFINALS PREVIEW SHOW!!! #10 MIAMI vs #2 OHIO STATE in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic.

Everyone is hyped coming into one of the biggest shows we've ever done, with Ohio State players talking a lot in the media this week and how players like Jeremiah Smith could have been a Hurricane if this team was built like it is now. And while we understand that narrative, Scoop isn't buying into guys who ...

It's a PLAYOFF VICTORY RECAP SHOW!!

Everyone opens with high praise for Corey Hetherman as the defense played absolutely out of their MINDS yesterday, holding Texas A&M to 3 points at Kyle field. Toast lays out the stat of the week - that Miami has allowed only 44 points in the last five games - three of which were conference games, and an SEC Playoff game on the road. There is also a lot of credit and love to go around ...

It's the PLAYOFF PREVIEW SHOW!!!

We are joined by PGA Champion Andrew Novak, fresh off a big win last weekend, and a lifelong Canes fan - as we get ready for the biggest game we've seen in probably 20 years. As we get down to Greentree, Toast admits that he's starting to feel the anticipation, while Scoop and Roman are still pretty chill. Ro also has done a lot of film breakdown in the last week and is starting to fe...

Toast has a whole new background in his studio, and Scoop celebrates a milestone birthday as we kick off this week's show, which is all about the aftermath of Miami making the College Football Playoff. We also have some All-American honors as Malachi Toney rakes in titles across the board, beyond just the Freshman group, and how he could be a Heisman favorite going into next season. And everyone has opinions about what Miami wi...

We are STUNNED that the #10 Miami Hurricanes made the field for the 2025 College Football Playoff and we simply cannot believe that we finally leaped Notre Dame. And how did Alabama stay at #9 after that SEC title loss? There are so many emotions to process as we try to digest, including Toast and Scoop admitting they were wrong about Miami being left out of this playoff. Roman is also very happy to have been the lone voice of posi...

We open with optimistic Scoop this week as we open Episode 419, and get right down to Greentree to start breaking down the crux of the national college football conversation... Miami vs Notre Dame in the Playoff rankings. And it becomes more obvious each week that the committee is completely changing the rules and making up new metrics to fit whatever narrative they choose. Everyone also has strong feelings about committee chair Hu...

The Miami Hurricanes came up with one of the most dominating wins of the season when they needed it most, demolishing the Pitt Panthers 38-7 on the road and making a resounding statement for the College Football Playoff. Scoop jolins us drunk from Thanksgiving vacation and comes in hot with strong words for Notre Dame in the wake of the coming debate. And while everyone has big props for the offense, Scoop wants to know if our "...

Miami comes in at #12 in this week's College Football Playoff rankings, and immediately the conversation goes to all the things that need to happen for the Canes to get an at-large bid... because they won't be the ACC Champion. And Playoff math kicks into full gear as we try to figure out if a 3-loss Alabama team (should they lose the SEC Championship Game) over a 2-loss Miami team. Scoop also goes in on Joey Galloway, who ...

It's a mixed bag for the crew as we recap a two-score win over Virginia Tech on the road... as Roman thinks it was a solid win, but Toast still believes Miami isn't passing the eye test. Ro does his best to spin a case for the committee to give Miami a shot at the Playoff, having won their last three games by a combined score of 113-34... but Scoop still thinks it's hopeless for Miami to climb high enough to get in. Rom...

Everyone has had a bewildering week, and the College Football Playoff didn't do us any favors by getting everyone wound up about our placement behind Notre Dame. And with Scoop out of the loop this week, we stun him right out of the gate with Paul Finebaum standing up for Miami over Notre Dame. And he's also stunned to learn that Hunter Yurachek took over the College Football Playoff Committee, who somehow tries to make the...

Roman and Toast man the show this weekend as we finally got the dominant performance we wanted to see on both sides of the ball, especially the offense who came out swinging. This game also set a huge tone for the Playoff committee as Miami passed all the eye tests, coming as close to a shutout as possible. The defense also showed up huge, holding the ACC's leading rusher to -2 total yards, and making CJ Bailey's life in th...

Miami's in the College Football Playoff baby!!... well, okay, not really yet... but hey, there's nothing like some good old fashioned false hope to get the Miami fan base riled up! But we start with everyone's wild week, including the plane that crashed in Scoop's neighborhood (yes, that Coral Springs plane crash in the news) and how insane it was to be directly impacted by such a big disaster. Beyond that we jump r...

We come in HOT, despite a big win, even though Toast thinks we failed because we got hooked by the spread. To make his point, he jumps into the first 27 minutes of the game, after another brutally slow start before they got things going. Roman says a lot of that had to do with poor execution by JoJo Trader dropping key passes, and Scoop goes OFF about Miami getting into their bag with creative plays when it did not matter against S...

We open the week after the big collapse against SMU with Toast already annoyed by pretty much everything that happened in the last week. And Roman announces that he got a coaching job with his son's JV team and he's really excited to take his knowledge of the game to the field with his kid. Plus when Roman brings up the College Football Playoff, everyone immediately melts down because of how bad the last two losses have bee...

Well... seeing as the season just died, we open the show with TAPS. Toast goes right in on how anything less than an ACC Championship or a Playoff run in a failure, and here we are again with another failed season in November. And before we even get into the game, immediately the question of Mario's leadership and coaching are called to the carpet, largely because nothing is changing with his status and contract, and how this t...

We come out of the gate with some shade toward the offensive scheme, as Roman shares a story about surprising his daughter with a Tesla for her 16th birthday. And as we get down to Greentree we play the clip of Shannon Dawson clapping back at the media for the criticism of the running game, as Scoop sounds off on where it comes from and why Miami will refuse to change their scheme at this point. And from there we debate whether Mia...
