Summary
The boys are back and this time they brought John Michaels in from Atlanta. No Scoop, but honestly? The energy did not miss. The episode kicks off with audio from UM President Joe Echevarria dropping what might be the boldest public statement a Miami administrator has ever made. This isn't your standard boilerplate university-speak — the man went on the record about college football's broken guardrail situation, basically told the ACC they're temporary, and said flat out that Miami is playing for the NEXT TV contract. Not the one they're in. The next one. Big Ten, SEC — you've been warned. From there the guys break down Phil Steele's preseason All-America selections and Miami has three of them — Malachi Toney, Mark Fletcher Jr., and Ahmad Moten. The Malachi debate gets fired up too. Is he or isn't he the most dangerous offensive weapon in college football? And how many touchdown passes does he throw this season? Rob's taking the over on 1.5. Then it's the Brendan Sorsby saga, which came to a screeching halt after the college football community basically united against Texas Tech in a way nobody has ever seen before. John Michaels breaks it down, and the guys go deep on whether the NFL should touch him, whether Cincinnati deserves heat for knowing about this for two years, and why the whole thing feels like an amusement park in Mexico with no guardrails. They also hit on the FSU parody bit that went viral on TikTok (hundreds of thousands of views), and wrap with a quick check-in on Miami baseball — JD ain't going anywhere, but next year is a big year. It's a packed one. Go Canes.
