Chris Fowler

Kane's insight is blowing up because Mike Ryan represents the voice of the fan.

I just want an impartial national voice like you, Chris Fowler.

Mike's been yelling at me because he thinks I have not been supportive of Miami.

And I'm just curious what your thoughts are when I tell you that Miami fans think I've been and am anti-Miami.

Well, I know you, Dan.

You could be seen as anti because you didn't, what, jump on the bandwagon?

I mean, have you changed your opinion?

Have you changed your opinion in the last two months?

Well, but how could you not?

They've won the three biggest games that they've played in 20 years in a row, one of them as an underdog.

I just got done saying there were reasons to doubt November 1st after they lost to SMU, because it was some same old stuff, man.

A roughing the passer, a marginal call maybe, but it prolonged SMU's drive.

They don't lose that game if they don't commit that penalty, and I thought that was a bad sign.

But they've rallied together, guys like Mark Fletcher,

priceless leadership, Bane, Mesador.

You got a lot of wise, older, experienced players.

You got a guy like Tony who seems like he's 28, even though he's barely 18.

So the ingredients on this team were there.

If you didn't notice it from the outside, it's because you don't have that kind of access.

I meant me included.
