Orange Bowl Boys: A Miami Hurricanes Podcast

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 ...

Roman is back! But Scoop is gone this week... so it seems like the show is never going to be back together until Fall! And Roman shares a story about his father informing him while in Italy that they have a famous relative who turned out to be a high level mafia boss. And as we get down to Greentree, we have to apologize for not mentioning the baseball super-regionals once last week, after they turned around a bad start to make a b...

We are joined this week by PGA winning golfer Andrew Novak who lodged his first PGA win and is gearing up for the US Open next weekend in Pennsylvania! He is filling in for Ro this week and immediately jumped into his 2nd place finish at the Heritage (and what happened on the putt that lost him the playoff with Justin Thomas) and a bit about his new podcast, Screenplay, which is all NFL.

ESPN's Power Index opened with Miami ...

Roman is off the show this week so of course we are all over the road - from Toast trying Raising Canes for the first time, the Whataburger craze and just how much you can do with a chicken tender. Plus some props out of the gate to the Florida Panthers who are returning to the Stanley Cup Finals for the third straight year!

As we get down to Greentree, we start with Athlon Sports citing "anonymous" ACC coaches taking sh...

We open with congratulations to American Heritage for winning the 4A state baseball title this week. Everyone also loves the new Orange Bowl Babies that debuted on social media this week, even though they got Scoop in trouble with his wife. 

As we get down to Greentree, everyone has thoughts about David Pollack saying he wouldn't spend $2 million on an Offensive Lineman, which Roman feels is a "homer" take because Ge...

Everyone opens with good energy as Miami lands the #1 prospect in the country, Jackson Cantwell... even though his overall rating continues to drop now that he's a Cane. And while no one is surprised that outlets like 247 continue to drop him in the rankings, it's maddening that the narrative around Miami is so different than other schools. Toast, however, is unapologetic for being "the Yankees" of college football....

Right out of the gate, we're on to the new Pop Tart ice cream sandwiches that are hitting store shelves, and we'll let you guess who the one guy is that's not into it. That also spins us into a debate about the make-up of "ice cream" Drumsticks that don't melt, and how AI is on the brink of translating what our pets think.

When we get down to Greentree, we actually start with Miami Baseball who has been o...

Scoop is still recovering from a trip to Arizona which has his clock off by three hours, as we start a sexy episode 169. We quickly get down to Greentree where we dive into the lack of coverage around Cam Ward going #1 overall, and how jilted the ESPN coverage was toward Shedeur Sanders not getting drafted. Everyone on the show is fired up about how bad the coverage was, calling ESPN an embarrassment for the way it was handled! 

We open with props to the UM Basketball team's recruiting, which has been ramped up in the last few weeks... and that somehow spins us into a conversation about forgotten department stores and our favorite spots in the mall. But we quickly get down to Greentree, as Mario also offers an update on Carson Beck's progress, which looks like it is ahead of schedule for his return. And we debate whether Beck will have the ROI that...

We open the show right away with the biggest college football story of the week, Nico Iamaleava parting ways with Tennessee over his NIL demands, which really makes us all re-examine how dangerous the portal has become to college football. And Toast lays the blame for this mess at the feet of former NCAA President Mark Emirate for failing to fix the issues that have loomed since his reign. 

From there we quickly pivot into the M...

As always, we open with another left turn topic as we revisit the Nutella debate, and Jenners tries his first ever Nutella sandwich live on the show... and it's not that bad. But he isn't as all-in on it as Toast and Roman are, which spins us into a whole tangent about pancake etiquette. And it's Spring game weekend, and dive into the quarterbacks as we're looking to see who shines with Carson Beck still on the side...

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 room. Roman also has some praise for ...

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 Xavier Restrepo join the show as we l...

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 space as the Canes have a pretty g...

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 Ro he's the real deal. The Cane...

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 teams with great seasons - and Miam...

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 will be Duke assistant Jai Lucas, w...

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's hay day on ESPN! As a former C...
