What are the initial reactions to the Miami Hurricanes' recent loss?
Dan, I'm a little bit nervous today.
About?
Well, you know, I get here and I go say hello to my friend Mike Ryan. And this is also coming off of a very, like, he was in a bad place yesterday. Like, he said some dark stuff on the show yesterday.
And off the air, a lot of people in Miami are still hurting. There's a feeling of sickness, of hangover all over the city.
Yeah, and I said hello to him this morning. I was like, hey, just regular, how you doing? He goes, terrible, I want to die.
How is Mike Ryan's mental state affecting the discussion?
I don't know what I'm supposed to say to that.
Yeah, you're not supposed to say much of anything. Is that because Duke is suing to keep Mensah from coming here? Is it because he's fighting with Uncle Luke? Is it just because they lost and he still hasn't gotten over it? He's here. I suppose I can ask.
I mean, maybe it's because FSU beat the Hurricanes basketball. last night. That too.
What legal issues are surrounding Darian Mensah's transfer to Miami?
I went to that game yesterday and I thought I could power through and I saw a couple people in the Hurricanes lounge that I'm friends with and we all looked at each other. This was a mistake. We're going to go. Left at halftime. I didn't have the heart to just watch green and orange running up and down a court. They had ESPN on in the Hurricanes lounge, so every 30 seconds you'd just see Mendoza and Confetti flying.
The thing I wanted to ask you guys, actually, is if you've been able to avoid the televisions enough, because I just saw it this morning, to avoid seeing again and again the Mendoza play. The one Mendoza play of him running up the middle and scoring the touchdown keeps playing. I feel like some of my channels are only airing that Nothing else.
Yeah, it's glorious, isn't it? Hey, by the way, I don't know why everybody's so down in the dumps. It's another sunny day here in football America. As we go into this show, a request, in fact, a demand. From here on out, call me National Champion Dave Damoschuk. Thank you.
I mean, that's aggressive. You just came in. You just bossed everyone around.
How does the panel feel about the impact of social media on sports fandom?
Now Indiana is going to be cocky. He's got the right. He's got the right.
His team won. Well, I was going to say, do you miss it? But have you ever felt that way? When is the last time you felt that way, that you were hungover with sadness because your team lost?
Wow. For me, I have had the fandom beaten out of me by journalism, by neutrality, impartiality. I think the last time I ever shed tears or came close at a sporting event was when my 1967 Red Sox lost in the World Series to the St. Louis Cardinals. Not when you almost died at battle court? No. No, I was passed out, you know, so I couldn't, I had no emotion. I was dead on the ground. In order for the University of Miami to keep the momentum going and stack successes on top of each other as they have for the last four years, they have to get a quarterback because the last two years they've had profound stability at that position. And Darian Mensah is very good, but Manny Diaz and Duke are now preventing him from coming to Miami because he's got a contract.
And Barry Jackson has tweeted, there remains optimism that Darian Mensah will join the Canes, but it's going to take longer than hoped and nothing can be assumed in our judicial system. Duke decided it wants to make it difficult for Mensah and Miami. Uh,
What are the implications of Mike McDaniel's coaching decisions?
The lawsuit portion and litigation portion of there are no rules and we're trying to figure it out as we go along and different people have different interpretations of the rules make it so that Duke doesn't want to be a feeder system anymore for everybody. They don't want to just exist anymore as ACC champions is something that can lose its quarterback to Miami.
Duke is a school that has invested a lot more than people think into their football team specifically. Mensah was the highest paid quarterback in last year's transfer portal cycle. Duke, people don't realize, is taking NIL for football very seriously.
Yeah, they're heavy into the rev share. So, yeah, you just have to look up how they got Darian Mensah. absolutely set the market with that. And the reason why quarterbacks are getting offers of like six and a half million dollars reportedly is because Darian Mensah doubled whatever the highest paid quarterback was the previous season.
