What sparked the heated debate between Mike Ryan and Billy Corben?
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
I haven't felt physically, energetically, what I'm feeling right now in the room with me since Nick Wright and Pablo Torre were in a room together because I've got Billy Corbin and Greg Cody here. They are rivals historically, but also Mike Ryan is a lot angrier at Billy than Greg Cody's ever been. So the history, Greg, what is the history between you and Billy Corbin before we ratchet up this tension here? Because Mike is hostile. To begin this particular week with... Billy Corbin to start there aggressively when you are the historian above all historians about UM football. You have made the most beautiful things on behalf of Miami that are complicated. Rock on tour. Your business is one of the few Miami businesses that makes excellent things.
We were talking about this yesterday. It's like it's Burger King. It's Bacardi. It's rock on tour. And Mike Ryan doesn't want you to make a you part three for Metal Ark Media because he thinks you're a Juan come lately when it comes to being a fan of this football team.
I was just happy that they spelled my name right in the Billy Corbin episode. Listen, the difference between Mike and I is that I'm a fan and he's a fanatic. I think that I first of all, I was born a fan. My grandfather graduated the University of Miami Law School 75 years ago. I was born a season ticket holder.
What are Edgerrin James's thoughts on the University of Miami's football resurgence?
And but I still can see the forest for the trees. And I think I still have the perspective of a journalist where I have a little bit of of objectivity and I can, I can call balls and strikes to mix sports metaphors. Whereas Mike is, I mean, Carson Beck could shoot somebody in fifth Avenue and Mike would still make excuses for him. He's a, he's a fanatic and, and, and I appreciate it. I respect everything he's done for the program syndrome. derangement syndrome i i respect everything he's done for the school and for the program um and and i i it disappoints me respect what i've done for the school mike ryan has been working for four years to try to get to miami miami here and you've been making john ruiz jokes for four years
Listen, I'm sorry about his uncle. Well, actually, I'm not sorry. Sorry, I'm not sorry about his Uncle John. That sounded so insincere. I'm sorry about his uncle. What I'm seeing is I called it like I saw it. That's all. And I don't think I was that far off about it either. You were. You were totally off base.
The money was legit. You can make fun of him being delisted. John Ruiz won, all right?
How do former players feel about their connection to the current Miami team?
He's still helping. He gave Miami a leg up, and while you were laughing along the way, he actually put in place a template that allowed for Miami to get here four years later. I know what you think of the man. Glossed over delisted. He glossed right over that, by the way. You keep saying delisted as if that's a big, fat L for him. The guy made his money. You know, he made his money and the money was legit. And let me tell you something. He put those kids to work. All right. Those kids were doing ads. Those contracts were fully executed. You thought it was a joke. You thought he was a joke. Four years later, Miami is here. All right? Well, you were doing your whole sarcastic, the U is back, baby. The U is back.
The U is back.
What does Edgerrin James say about the importance of keeping local talent in Miami?
You did that this season, too. I was right there and right now. You did it after the SMU loss. I know exactly who you are. In your bona fides, as you were somehow born a season ticket holder, you didn't add charlatan, because that is what you are, a charlatan. Oh, how so? Jezebel. I've never heard you speechless. No, I'm curious how I'm a charlatan. You weren't with us when shit was rough. You were laughing at us. You were putting the boots to us. Everybody was having their turn and you were teeing off just like the rest of them and you were one of us.
There still was never, never for all these years, I think a recruiting tool or a bigger... way to support this team than those documentaries i think that i think that and like i said i appreciate what you've done for the program thank you and and it and it disappoints me that you don't see that what what we contributed the crew on the first you documentary had a combined 45 years at the university of miami no it was good it was a labor of love time ago and this and i i agree it was a long time ago that that this team won anything before uh before this season yeah you
