Orange Bowl Boys: A Miami Hurricanes Podcast

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...

Like always we open the show on a curve ball as we learn that Scoop does the show in pajama pants that he does not sleep in and wears for like an hour before bed. But we quickly jerk the wheel to Greentree as we take a look at Miami's newest coaching addition, Damione Lewis, who will line up next to Jason Taylor to help with the defensive line. Plus Miami's coaching staff lands high marks for recruiting this off season, but...

We open the show Scoop-less this week, but get right into Miami's top-rated portal class in 2025 - which was expected after we rebuilt the secondary and got the top QB in the portal for the second year in a row. And Toast and Roman react to the FanDuel line of 8.5 wins for Miami this season, as they take a look at the ACC schedule and try to figure out how Clemson and North Carolina will fare this season.

Ohio State's in...

We open our series of offseason interviews with a sports legend - Chris Myers from Fox Sports. We quickly get into Chris being friends with Bill Murray (who wrote the foreword for his new book) and Chris shares some hilarious stories from their friendship over the years. Plus Chris got his start in Miami working alongside the legendary voice of the Canes, Sonny Hirsch, and all the Miami Hurricanes guys he grew up following. The guy...

It's whiskey talk at the top of the show as Ro celebrates Whiskey Wednesday and fills us in on the best new trends. We also talk about New York Yankee Steakhouse, our kids athletic accomplishments coming into the week and memories of Scoop and Roman's band. And as we head on down to Greentree, Toast has to take up for setting Twitter on fire with some comments about how the Miami administration failed to support Mario in th...

One of the biggest stories in the country has been the transfer of cornerback Xavier Lucas from Wisconsin to Miami, and sports attorney Darren Heitner has been representing him in the case. Heitner, a UM adjunct professor of NIL at UM School of Law, has been frequently posting on social media in defense of his client, and he joins the Orange Bowl Boys to break down this wild case.

The Big Ten released a statement over the weeken...

The University of Miami has a new Defensive Coordinator... and we somehow open the show with the alleged Barack Obama affair rumors because we simply cannot believe who is involved!

We head on down to Greentree as we dive head first into Corey Hetherman as he takes the reins as the new Miami DC. And while there has been a lot of "coach speak" coming from him so far, the game film backs up his claims as Roman has now done...

Ro's been saying it for weeks - Miami needed "a dude" at quarterback. And Miami got their dude in UGA transfer Carson Beck. So the opening question is whether the guys are happy with their dude. And it seems everyone thinks this was the best move possible as Mario has somehow locked down one of the top QBs in the portal again.

Jenners offers up some insight as a UGA insider on the caliber of quarterback the Canes are...

It's an off season show that opens with conversation about the crazy wild fires burning out of control in California, as we have friends affected by the massive destruction. But we quickly pivot to Greentree as Toast asks the show if we can remember the last time a Miami player was heavily considered to go #1 in the NFL Draft. And we're quickly reminded that Vinny Testaverde and Russell Maryland were the last two to do it, ...

We open with the biggest news of the week as the University of Miami has parted ways with defensive coordinator Lance Guidry. Everyone immediately starts throwing candidates into the conversation, even though Roman believes they are close to a new hire already. And with the portal firing on all cylinders, that might be Miami's only saving grace as they make such a huge change on defense.

The debate continues to rage about ne...

It's IMMEDIATE reaction to the Canes blowing a late lead and losing the Pop Tarts Bowl 42-41 vs Iowa State - as we record the show during our live stream immediately following the final whistle.

Roman joins the show and has to answer the question of the fourth quarter... If the Canes are losing late and you need a game-winning drive, do you put Cam Ward back in for the end of the game? Everyone crushed Jenners for putting it...
