We roll out the FULL Recap Show as we settle into the idea that Miami is actually going to play for a National Championship!! Roman says this would be the most iconic and improbable run any Miami team has ever pulled off, and Scoop and Toast spent the entire day watching highlights and recaps and soaking it all in. And the question begs... if Miami does manage to win the entire thing... do we officially end the podcast? Well... NO WAY.

Toast wants to start by giving Carson Beck his flowers, largely for the final drive of the game, because if he gets this done he'll go down in history as one of the greatest Canes of all time. But there were a lot of negatives to discuss, even if Scoop is too happy to argue about that stuff right now. The offensive game plan, the penalties, the missed calls... there was a lot that broke our way to make up for those miscues. And of course everyone has an opinion on the debate of the day... whether there should have been pass interference called on the final Hail Mary of the game.

Plus we hear Alfre Alvarez's electric Spanish call of the Carson Beck game-winning touchdown, and we all have some high praise for Trinidad Chambliss who we all agree could be a star at the NFL level. We also talk about Mario's emotions last night, especially since it probably killed him to admit that most of the Miami team had the flu, because he would want to win with his guys at full strength. And we hear from the sports bettors in Vegas who are really afraid for Miami to win because their futures were the worst of the Playoff teams.

As we wrap things up, we would have to mention the rushing game, which showed up BIG against Ole Miss. And we touch on the wild Sam Leavitt rumors that are swirling tonight and how IF that happened, it would be three straight years of nailing the top quarterback in the portal. Closing things out is the rant from our friend, comedian and Gator fan Josh Pray who sends us out on a laugh!

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 Shannon Dawson - "if the ball's in your hands, the program's in your hands" - as we dissect how the offense performed against Ohio State and how that will translate to the Rebels.

But before we get too far into Ole Miss we have to relive the Kionte Scott pick 6 as called by Joe Zagaki on WQAM, which leads us into some of our favorite moments from the win over Ohio State. And as the analysts believe that the "stars are aligned" for Ole Miss to continue their run, we feel like these are guys who are still looking at things through the lens of the SEC, which has crumbled this season.

Plus it wouldn't be a show if we didn't take a minute to laugh at the downward spiral of FSU as they have 33 players in the portal as of this show. That leads to a brief conversation about the madness in the portal, and whether Miami will be in the running for a portal QB or if the fanbase is going to have to prepare for a true QB competition. And Toast addresses some of the "big spenders" in the NIL market and how Canes fans should be prepared to not be the biggest spender, but rather get the guys that Mario wants because we trust his roster building acumin.

Then we go BIG with the Ole Miss preview, as Roman spent time in the film room and thinks that despite what Mario is saying, Ole Miss is not the best team the Canes will face in the Playoff... that was Ohio State. And while Trinidad Chambliss is a very special player, who had a lot to say about Miami's defense not disrupting their offensive scheme, it was Miami who has found a way to slow down mobile quarterbacks this season.

Everyone drops their keys to a Miami win over Ole Miss, which include pressuring Chambliss, limiting your penalties, hammering the run game, making all your kicks, watching the roll-out plays and Carson Beck's poise. And we make our picks and predictions for the Semifinal games, including everyone's pick for Miami vs Ole Miss.

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 only want to play for "good" teams instead of helping build a winner. Plus we have to discuss the history of things, and how important this rematch is for those of us who remember being robbed of a National Championship in 2003 and what it means for Canes fans.

Miami comes into this game as a 10-point dog, and we're surprised that the spread is that big, especially to Roman who did a lot of film work on Ohio State this week. Scoop also comes in with some numbers to paint the picture of Shannon Dawson's offense versus Matt Patricia's defense, and how Dawson will need to call the game of his life to find a way to beat a Super Bowl winning DC. We also get clips from Carson Beck feeling confident in the game plan, Shannon Dawson responding to haters from the A&M low-scoring game, and even Colin Cowherd who is now suddenly all over the Miami bandwagon.

We are also SO PROUD to announce that we've extended our partnership with the amazing staff at Paul Bange Roofing for another season of the Orange Bowl Boys! To celebrate (?) we get a check-in from our very own I.P. Daley who checks in from Dallas and as always burns the house down. And the question is posed about whether the running game for Miami can be as effective against Ohio State as it was against Texas A&M, specifically Mark Fletcher, and Ro says he doesn't have to go nuclear to still run away with a game.

Everyone brings out their Keys to the Game to win against Ohio State - including converting on 3rd downs, playing the villain, keeping Beck's pants clean (again), pressure from the front four, hitting kicks and keeping OH's offense off the field. And we do our quarter-final picks for the Orange Bowl, Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl and of course the Cotton Bowl picks for Miami vs Ohio State. And make sure to join us for the LIVE STREAM

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 on the defensive side of the ball.

We have SO much audio to dive into, including Alfre Alvarez's Spanish call of Toney's late touchdown, and we relive Fitzgerald's game-winning interception and talk about how impressive he was in that game, and has been all-season for a freshman. And what a freshmen combo between him and Toney, who were both heroes yesterday. And Mark Fletcher's performance yesterday was impressive enough, but even more so when he talked about consoling Malachi Toney after the costly fumble. That also leads Scoop into a breakdown of the running backs and how (and why) they utilized Mark Fletcher as much as they did yesterday.

There is also high praise for the line of scrimmage, as even Mike Elko said after the game that Miami dominated them in the trenches and how that lost them the game. Rhett Lashley and Eric MacLain from the ACC Network had very high praise for the Canes, saying that the gap between the ACC and SEC has closed significantly, especially when you look at teams like Miami. Plus we get into all the points that were left on the field for Miami yesterday - including CJ Daniels getting a few steps on the defender and the throw coming up a little short, and Malachi's punt return that went all the way down to the 25 and the Canes walked away without points.

The end of the game becomes a point of contention - on whether Malachi should have run out of bounds to set up the game-winning field goal, or to take the TD (as they did) and try to stump A&M offense, which almost blew up in their face. It was still a WILD game and we had a blast taking it all in on our live stream. Up next... OHIO STATE ON NEW YEAR'S EVE!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM OUR ENTIRE CREW AT THE ORANGE BOWL BOYS!! We are so thankful for all the support this year and love being on this ride with the best fanbase in all of sports. GO CANES!!!

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 feel a swell of confidence as he compares Miami to Texas A&M, and calls the Canes walking out with a win.

Texas A&M running back Rueben Owens II rustled a lot of Miami's feathers this week when he said Miami's run defense "isn't a challenge." And Roman breaks down what to be on the lookout for from Marcell Reed because he's not a strong pocket passer. Toast also wants to address the 800-pound gorilla in the room, asking if anyone is worried about the 11am Central start time, but everyone thinks that this team isn't going to falter in this situation.

Plus Josh Pate weighs in with his pick for the game - which goes to Texas A&M - and Roman immediately throws a monkey wrench in Pate's logic by saying it's all on Malachi Toney. Toast also gives the edge to Carson Beck in the QB battle, and Scoop thinks it will come down to how much protection the offensive line gives him. And we finally got a check in from I.P. Daley ahead of this epic Playoff weekend, and he doesn't disappoint!

Everyone lays out their keys to the game, including pinning Marcell Reed in the pocket, avoiding third and long, trusting in Carson Beck to deliver, not playing scared and getting some big plays over the top. There is also transfer portal news that has Lagway coming to Miami, which no one on the show believes, and we debate who Miami might target at QB1 and whether Sam Leavitt or CJ Bailey is that guy.

Toast cuts off some time to roast the ACC for the horrible split schedule, which everyone thinks is a horrible idea as it will drop the entire conference out of balance. And some quick congrats to Fernando Mendoza for bringing home the Heisman, as we debate where he might land in the draft. Plus we close it out with a round of Pick 'Ems for the first round of the College Football Playoff, including everyone's prediction for the Miami game!
