He's also the director of two 30 for 30 films about the University of Miami.

He's a little obsessed with the place.

Today, the University of Miami carries the legacy of being a hard-hitting, trash-talking football program with a chip on its shoulder.

Billy says that story began in 1979, when Miami hired Howard Schnellenberger to be their head coach.

And Schnellenberger's strategy?

It worked.

By the end of the 1983 season, Miami's football team won its first national championship ever.

As the team won, they became notorious for their antics on and off the field.

Antics that earned them their national bad boy reputation.

Take one incident from 1987 when the Hurricanes played against Penn State in the Fiesta Bowl.

The team walked off their plane wearing top to bottom military fatigues and sunglasses.

They looked like extras in a Rambo movie.

The image is iconic.

Media coverage at the time tilted strongly against the Hurricanes.

Are these guys really thugs, or did they just put on this kind of image for the Fiesta Bowl?

Because Miami recruited locally, their team was largely made up of players from Miami's Black neighborhoods.

Once they were hurricanes, these players became celebrities almost overnight.

When sports reporters would moralize about the team, they'd use code words like inner city, but you could tell they meant black.

Any idea why?

I mean, are they just some problem players?
