🏈 ESPN Series 30 for 30 On the Miami Hurricanes....

[ExiledTidefan]

All that pride and "swagger" blew up in the biggest flames of any sports team I've ever heard of. The 1993 Sugar Bowl was a nice way for us to end if for them.

There are many people outside of the state (and perhaps some inside the state of Alabama), who would watch this program and call them an evil program. I've heard the same things heard about Bama. Usually by our haters. Miami had some haters too, but apparently deservedly so.

Tennessee might think they are on their way to doing the same, but the NCAA is much more in their house at the outset. They might have the drama, but they won't have the wins.

I noticed Lamar Thomas was featured throughout the film, all full of swagger about how tough and great the Hurricanes were. All of us here, of course, remember when Bama's George Teague ran him down, took the ball away from him, and totally humiliated him in the 1993 Sugar Bowl. I noticed they didn't bother even mentioning that game. Oh well... for the most part, it was an interesting film.

Being that young, you may not know who Luther Campbell of 2Live Crew was. That guy and his crew were some of the nastiest mo-fos on the planet. Their rap was so degrading, inflammatory and nasty they were actually banned in the U.S. at one point. They had a lot to do with the advisory labels you see on CD cases these days.

That whole program and everything around it was out of control on a whole nother level.

The best part of Luther campbell is still in his daddy's sack !!!:word:

2 hours of a documentary, and the only thing you guys can talk about is the only reason you were watching was to feed your own ego's about the 92 N-C. Complaining how Alabama wasn't included in something that had nothing to do with them? And about something that happened after the times the movie was talking about. Congratulations that you all spent 3 pages showboating about Alabama because of 1 game the exact same way that you guys are blasting Miami for doing, that's full of integrity all right.

Alabama lost to Louisiana-Monroe in 2007, why aren't you guys talking about that?

Running up the score against Auburn Saban? Winning 29-0 with 3 min left in the game and you still go and score another TD pass? Hmmm, that's integrity right there!!

Next season all the players are going to have a mandatory brunch and meet and greet with the opposing teams before each game so they can share their life stories. And when a team is winning by more than 2 td's, there's going to be a rule that you have to kneel for 3 downs and punt the ball, will that make all you integrity lovers happy?

Let me ask you a question, how come in these 3 pages nobody's mentioned the Alabama players that were arrested when you're GOD Nick Saban arrived. Conduct problems, robbery, I thought he was the disciplanarian guy who put all those players in check?

Oh wait, I almost forgot, weren't they just put on probation for 3 years and have to forfeit past games because players on your football team "not to mention the rest of the programs in that school" that were caught illegally getting free school supplies?

Wait wait, there's more, because your team was already on probation 3 times in the last decade, what happened there?

I know what happened, sweep it under the rug because now you're winning!!!!

Point of all that is, Miami was the best for a long time, and they won more than anyone, and they did it while being themselves. Not having 80 year old presidents telling teenage football players they can't celebrate a TD when they just made it out of a race war the week before. Every team in the country has done a lot of bad things on and off the field. So all of you acting like your programs are angels and Miami is an embarrassment need to zip it. Miami's players just had the balls to come out on the field and show what they really felt instead of hiding it like everyone else did at the time to please all the old people watching on tv.

But in my opinion you're all just bitter because you haven't won anything in over 30 years and Miami hogged all the attention.

PS: Thank you for kicking Florida's ass

Saban cleaned house. If you believe otherwise then you are as stupid as I think you are. Of course we wanted to see the Bama beatdown on Miami! One, we are Bama fans and two, Miami ran their thug mouths like usual and got embarassed! So take your $h!t somewhere else.

They also failed to mention Miami blowing a 31 point lead against Maryland in the OB. They failed to show Tenn mopping the field with them in the Sugar Bowl, too. The 93 Sugar Bowl was needed to finish the era of the film. Bama ended that thuggery of an era that night in New Orleans.

Exactly.

The film included a lot of bravado about Miami's 1991 national championship, including garbage talk from Lamar Thomas, then went straight to the later Butch Davis era, conveniently leaving out the beatdown Bama gave Thomas, his coach Dennis Erickson and their team in the 93 Sugar Bowl. Miami had a 23-game winning streak coming into the Sugar Bowl. They were at the height of their swagger, and Bama smashed them. Thomas was exposed as a total fraud. Teague owned him.

Sure, the '93 Sugar Bowl is in the front of every Bama fan's mind when you bring up those boys who just acted how they "felt". That game was among the greatest moments of an obnoxious team, and fan base, getting a comeuppance for the ages.

You're right. We've had a hard time of it lately, and we should have spent the last three pages discussing the merits of the great Miami players of the eighties, how they were proud survivalists, and how their actions uplifted the sport. And you're right, again, that we haven't won anything in 30 years - we're just one win away from our third national championship in 30 years - and the fourth in 31. It's above average, which is all we can possibly strive to be.

Bitterness, however, is not an emotion I can even grasp right now. Since you seem to be the embodiment of it, perhaps you can enlighten us. In that same treatise, please tell us why Miami has the worst attendance of any team that has won a NC since the fifties.

Roll Tide Roll,

Tim

ESPN did a nice job on this historic piece. But that is the key take away, that it is history, just like the dynasties Bama had through the 60's and 70's, or the great run that Oklahoma had back in the day, or Florida State's continued bowl appearance streak.

Bobby Bowden's Seminoles are untouched for avoinding a bad years, extending the longest bowl attendance streak to 27 this year and holding the record for finishing in the Top 5 some 15 years running.

Bud Wilkenson's Oklahoma is still the bench mark for dominations with a 47 game winning streak.

Bear Bryant's Alabama is the model for sustained excellence with three NCs in the 60s and three in the 70s.

"The U" had one of the nicest runs in college football history. 58 game home winning streak. 4 Titles in a bit over ten years. Producing many, many Professional Athletes. But perspective only places it among the best.

What this show pointed out to me was that this program had a critical weakness, which also was its strength, and they had a hard time controlling it...that factor being "swagger". Controlled, they played well. Without the right amount of it, they lose.

Today, we see that it was indeed unsustainable, unlike the Bear Bryant's teams. Swagger is fragile, unlike the Bud Wilkinson teams. The U had its era, unlike Bobby Bowden's generations of Seminoles.

The U is like Miami in summer time. Hot and sexy for a while, but then the inevitable Winter brings the snowbirds, and suddenly its not-so-hot again. They had their summer and those old men in the video their 15 minutes. Move along now. Nothing to see here.
