Always drink your JƤgermeister ice cold.
That's the rule. Everything else is merely a suggestion. Everything else? Everything else. Wearing clean underwear every day? Well, that's just a personal decision. Brushing your teeth?

This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast. The University of Miami can beat you more ways than any team in college football. They are the best team in college football. It's, oh, you can't play with them. They can beat you with big plays now.
They can beat you with defense. They're not going to do all of the dumb things. They are the balanced thing that doesn't exist in a sport that's gone through parity. Miami looks like they can beat anyone in the nation. It's the most complete one I've seen since the 2001 one. Just complete, more ways to beat you. Miami's got to stay healthy.
But the neutral field this year in the national title game is in Miami. It's fixed. It's like, have no question that when Castellanos is being pressured 31 times and Beck is being pressured six, it's fixed. He was brought here to win national championships. You know who said that? Mario Cristobal. You know who says that privately? Mario Cristobal.
So when the standards of national championship, you can't be going around saying 5-0. Everything's fixed.
I think you can say the major problems facing this program are fixed.
It's not just, hey, finish in the top four and you have to win one game and you're in the championship anymore.

Chapter 4: What are the latest observations on the University of Miami football team?
They threw you under the bus. You could do this any year over the last 20 years. But I think what's different this year is that's just our show. If you sampled the entire world of college football, they had everybody fooled this year. And it's a huge shame.
I don't think we're going to get to have the conversations that we had last year about resume and whatnot because I think we're probably going to lose another game. I think that's the big takeaway here is the teams, you have a bigger issue now, which is last three years, there's a pattern. Teams lock into your tendencies. You got nothing for them, and your team kind of goes into a hole.
That can't be happening for years. It's easy year one and year two to blame it on the Manny guys, the Manny recruits. Manny seems to be doing just fine at Duke. SMU has taken a lot of former Manny guys and done a lot of winning in this conference. Hell, they barely do any losing. They've lost one game. I keep seeing the comparison to Manny Diaz's ACC record versus Mario Cristobal's ACC record.
Why do I give a shit about that? Manny Diaz was the coach here. He was awful. Why do I care what Manny Diaz... Manny Diaz had an opportunity here. He was terrible. So why do I care about his record? Manny Diaz wasn't the answer. Mario Crisobal has elevated the floor. Now your problem is you just can't get over the hump. You can't get to Charlotte.
Before, we were talking about seven-win football teams, six-win football teams. It's definitely changed, but the frustrating part is the intangible stuff and their inability to respond to it. It's going to be a huge week for them. I know they're favored by 28.5 against Syracuse. That is a program that's had a really difficult year following the injury to Angele.
Can this team rattle off four in a row to give you food for thought? Last year, they were told, hey, no playoffs for you because you have zero ranked wins and your defense is trash.
This year, potentially, depending on what happens with Pittsburgh, they could have four ranked wins and a defense that's very good and a signature win over potentially one to two playoff teams, depending on what happens in the AAC. So I do like their hand. For me, the biggest issue is I don't think this team can run the table. in November.
If they do, I think a month from now, we feel pretty strongly that they have one of the stronger cases when it comes to the CFP. But do they get past NC State? I mean, you know, they play teams well. Mike, when you talk about Cristobal being a floor raiser and that he just can't get over the hump, how many coaches are there in college football that are that coach that can get you over the hump?
It feels like there's less than a handful of them. It's tough. It's a tough sport. It's like baseball, only you multiply the teams by three. There's one team that gets to win. Look at the Jim Harbaugh experience in Michigan. Year after year, couldn't get over the hump. Couldn't get over the hump. Gets lucky with a missed field goal. That was Ryan Day.

Chapter 5: What challenges is the Miami Hurricanes football program facing?
Probably gone. Maybe a mutual parting of ways. Mario Cristobal has to win that game. He did so in Oregon. He won a Pac-12 championship and he won a Rose Bowl. But there is rightfully a narrative that follows him. The only way to correct that narrative is to win.
And for whatever reason, a mental thing happens where this team just kind of folds under pressure once teams lock into what they're doing. It's got to start at the top a little bit. Let me ask you something here in regards to Notre Dame. So Notre Dame right now is ranked 10th. All right.
If Notre Dame keeps winning and they win their final 10 games of the season, they're going to be a playoff team. And then that winds up making Miami look good that, hey, Best win on their resume is that one.
Chapter 6: How is the Bengals' defense impacting their performance this season?
But so you could say, hey, it's a good thing for Miami if they went out there. But is it a good thing for Miami if they went out there? Because they're going to be one of those top 11 spots when maybe you kind of need Notre Dame to lose to open up one of those top 11 spots. And I say top 11 because, you know, the ACC winner. is not going to be ranked in the top 12.
Chapter 7: What does Chase Brown say about the Bengals' team dynamics?
So they're going to wind up taking one of those spots, essentially. And you know what? Depending on what happens with BYU, the Big 12 winner may not be in the top 12. So they may take one of those spots also. Huge game between BYU and Texas Tech. I'd like to entertain all these conversations.
I think the best thing that can happen for Miami in terms of that conversation is to have Notre Dame keep winning. Really? Okay. Yeah, because the head-to-head matchup has to matter. It has to matter. I don't care that it happened first week of the season. They played. You saw which team was better when they played. But Miami's got to keep winning. Right.
And right now, I think the biggest problem is no one really thinks Miami can go 4-0 in the next month. No one. No one. Because of how they lost SMU. Because of how they met adversity. So that's why it's a bigger conversation than even the CFP. I don't care if you afford out a couple of wins here or there. I got to see a change in approach. I got to see a team respond.
I got to see guys that have been committing penalties every game suffer the consequences. I got to see them turn it around. It's a ridiculous conversation to be having. I would feel good about it down the line. But beat Syracuse. This team can quit. Beat NC State. Do we have faith that they can? I don't.
This is going to make such a great part of the montage when they win the national championship this year.
