Miami Hurricanes Women’s Hoops Early Season Evaluation
The Miami Hurricanes women’s basketball team is off to a great start to open the 2025-26 season. The Lady Canes, under second-year head coach Tricia Cullop, entered the year with a spotless slate.

Dear JD: Is it safe to drink Irish tears?
The Miami Hurricanes are in the College Football Playoff and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish were left on the outside looking in. It turns out that 1) ND doesn’t have all the cards and 2) head-to-head wins matter more than quality losses when both teams are 10-2. Now ND isn’t just out of the playoff, […]

Wow. Wow wow. Wowowowowowow. Man. what a weekend for the Miami Hurricanes. I sat down at my computer, and I knew what I was going to write. But then, the million thoughts that have flooded my brain just came through all at once, and I’m trying to process them all. So bear with me. Here […]

Miami Hurricanes seeded 10th in College Football Playoffs
A year after being snubbed, and after 5 weeks of enduring being woefully and criminally under ranked, Miami earned an at-large berth into the 2025 College Football Playoffs! The 10-2 Hurricanes are the 10 seed, and will travel to face #7 seed Texas A&M in the first round of the CFP. This is a well […]
The ACC did this to themselves
Bad TV deals, west coast additions, stupid tie-breaker rules, and unmet expectations have put the ACC in the position they’re in. That position is potentially being left out of the 2025-2026 College Football Playoff. Had UVA knocked off Duke in the ACC Championship Game the Hoos would probably have snuck in as the final team […]

The “Toney Package” is Bad Medicine
The offense was getting stale, the ‘Canes were losing winnable games and Miami Hurricanes OC Shannon Dawson got in HC Mario Cristobal’s face and yelled, “Oh, oh, oh, shake it up/just like bad medicine” and the offense came alive under Dr. WR Malachi Toney. Oh and just in case you have no idea what this […]
Prayer or pettiness? I can’t decide how I want this weekend to go for Miami
The Miami Hurricanes are on the outside looking in for both the ACC Championship game and, more importantly now, the College Football Playoff field. The hopes for the ACC title are gone with Virginia and Duke squaring off, and Miami’s at large hopes aren’t particularly high either, as the committee continued to disrespect Miami by […]
