Chapter 1: What are the initial thoughts on Miami Hurricanes' recent win?
Forgive Greg Cody for not being quite ready for what it is that we're doing right now and being off mic. He's doing a bit of arts and crafts right now. Cody, do you want to tell people off mic? Oh, you're going to lean into the mic. This is how it works. This is how it works with Greg Cody. When I want him near the mic, he doesn't do the mic.
When I wanted him off mic, he does the closest he's ever been. He pulls the mic right to his mouth and does his job totally correctly.
Damn right. I'm multitasking right now, Dan. That's what that's called. What are you doing? Well, Zaslow, unfortunately, is wearing a Miami football shirt on a day when Miami basketball deserves every sort of pinnacle and attention. And so I'm creating for him something that is going to remedy that situation.
A different shirt. He's wearing a Miami football shirt that reads simply Miami football with the Adidas logo over it. And you are coming over. We're not on air right now. So you are not video on air. So nobody can see what you're doing.
He's walked across the room.
As you theatrically do that.
He's now
Covering up the football like that. The shadow show is not a video.
Is that right? Who can keep track? But viewers will have a payoff once we go live.

Chapter 2: How did the hosts react to the Miami basketball team's performance?
It doesn't match great, though. It's a good shirt, but the colors are not green and orange. Green, orange, and blue really don't. Green, orange, and masking tape really don't work. It's my first time wearing this shirt, too. New shirt. Miami football was celebrated last night, too. Mike Ryan stormed a court and feloniously. I don't think I stormed.
I just sauntered. You stood on the outskirts. No, no, no. I definitely was on the court. I said security. That was assembled with a human chain that was presumably there to prevent me from going on the court. Hey, can my daughter and I go in? And they're like. Go right ahead. And I just sauntered on through.
Did you instantly feel old? Because I did that one. We beat Duke, what was it, a few years ago, and I was at the game, and I was like, all right, I'll go out on the court. And I was just like, I'm old.
I guess I would feel old if I were just doing it to make myself happy. It's a father-daughter moment. I was doing it to make a memory with my daughter, which I did. And no, I guess I felt old because I'm a dad.
Well, and you sauntered in a court storm.
You can't saunter. You're supposed to storm.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Miami's current basketball roster?
Nobody stormed. This was universally a court sauntering.
You're so right about this. It did seem to me more like milling about.
We all collectively, like, should we do this? You could see the students were trepidatious to do it because we don't storm the field. Miami football does not do that because ā Down here, you'd get shot for it. Because they have self-respect. Yeah, and also, they'd shoot us. They straight up would. At least for football. That's something that you can get away with, you know, in Appalachia.
It's not something that you can do in Miami Gardens.
Well, to be clear, okay, during a court storming, do not bring a child. Like that, a legitimate and real court storming.
What about a court sauntering? Sauntering? It's totally illegal.
That's right. Totally fair.
He's a child!

Chapter 4: How does the team's physicality compare to North Carolina?
So I feel like that's one version of winning. But then last night, you get the biggest victory of the year. And I think I can say this. They made the tournament last night. Things can happen. I suppose they can get injured because they don't have any depth. They're playing five people, and they have to play everybody.
But what was evident last night in not being much of a surprise against North Carolina is, oh, look, North Carolina's still young and looks a little bit like students, whereas Miami's physically, those are men.
Those are physically men out there, and if you can do that to North Carolina and not get tired late, I thought for sure they were going to lose that game in the last five minutes because they played all five guys. They're playing their starters the whole time, and I really thought that North Carolina would wear them down late, but they didn't have the size, the physicality to wear them down.
There were zero players on this roster in late March. Zero. There wasn't a staff. It was just the J. Lucas hire and totally rebuild a basketball program that wasted all the momentum from a Final Four appearance. And in less than a year, J. Lucas has a team that is bigger, stronger, more physical than North Carolina, which is a very good team. I'm not saying better, but last night they were.
In a couple of months, he just built a roster at a thin air that is getting a signature victory and in all likelihood, unless they really trip up here down the stretch, puts them in the tournament.
Okay, the refs, so that we know, the refs allowed them to play a physical style of basketball. What ends up derailing this is Renu in foul trouble. Like, they can't even afford that. Never mind an injury. We have Sally Altuntas. No, they can't. That guy's a joke running around. What?
You're a joke.
No, no, respectfully. You're a joke.
Respectfully.

Chapter 5: What role does coaching play in Miami's basketball success?
Be careful. Three minutes.
Choose your words wisely.
My father-in-law was watching the game. He's like, who's that guy? And I'm like, that's Altuntas. Sully Altuntas. He might be 40 or he might be 18. I'm not 100% sure. He looks like Arvidas Sabonis at the end.
Let's play some sound of the fans excited and what was a genuine court milling about. God bless America. God bless Malachi Tony. And God bless Ute.
That was me. It caught me in an emotional moment. Those are the three things that I love with my whole heart. Malachi.
The UM football team was celebrated last night as well. We've got Mario Cristobal riding his players during an interview. Mike was moved. Were you moved to tears, Mike, during the halftime celebration of this most beloved team of yours?
Yeah, it was a special season and I wasn't moved to tears, but I... Good. I've been... Yeah, that would have been... Come on, man. What's up? I'm a red-blooded American male. Uh... But, you know, I've been kind of sad because we lost. I've been on a heater. Yeah, it was great to see the football program be there, but I still haven't really completely shaken off that loss.

Chapter 6: How do the hosts feel about the Miami football team's recent achievements?
But it was good to see a highlight package that firmly established Miami back into relevancy. I don't have to hear, when's the last time Miami was relevant on a football field? And it was cool to celebrate the achievements of last year. And honestly, it was cool seeing some of these players again. And Mario Cristobal, it's hard to get a compliment. from Mario Cristobal.
Mario Cristobal, after the highlight and trying to pump the crowd up, he was turning the microphone over to Mark Fletcher. And he touted Mark Fletcher's achievements, most rushing yards in the history of the college football playoff. He's a great player and a better man. Which is just, you know, like that, it's very hard to get a compliment from an older Cuban man.
Oh, I know.
Yes, I was raised by one.
I mean, it is kind of a blanket thing a lot of coaches say about the Cavs. Yeah, but it's not something Mario Cristobal does. I'm not saying, like, Mark, I think they mean it, but it is kind of a thing you hear.
It's kind of crazy. Like, Mark Fletcher's coming back for his senior year, and... With that helmet, that logo on that helmet, after a national championship game, previous years, the discussion would be, look at these thugs. Look at Mark Fletcher. Look at him being a sore loser.
And that wasn't there because everybody, even nationally, when they heard Miami people speak with reverence to Mark Fletcher, they all kind of took our word for it. And Mark Fletcher is that dude. He's the unquestioned leader. Of this team. And then Mark Fletcher took over the mic and essentially said, we're going to finish the job next season. He said they're going to finish?
That was a pretty cool pop. Wow, that's a promise.
He also told Mike at halftime that the University of Miami basketball team was going to win. And Mike believed him just because Mark Fletcher was saying it.

Chapter 7: What are the challenges facing Miami's basketball program moving forward?
And he's in the cult. He's full on in the cult of Fletcher. Yeah, I'm a big Fletcher guy.
So you've been... Like, I know you're saying you've been heartbroken, you're having a very hard time getting over losing the national championship game. This doesn't qualify as one of those years for you as a fan where you're going to... Like, that you shouldn't be upset. You should be looking at it fondly about how amazing it was. Like, when the Panthers lost the Stanley Cup in 2023...
I wasn't upset. I mean, yeah, it would have felt great to win the Stanley Cup for the first time, but it was such a thrill, the whole thing. The Miami Heat, when they lost in 2023, the same year, I was like, I wasn't upset. It was so amazing, the run. You're still down about that? Yeah, because...
The difference there is, look, Florida didn't have enough. They got really injured and they lost in five. And it was a miracle that they got the one game there. Another comparison would be that Miami Heat team that this city really loved that was scrapping with Karam Butler, Lamar Odom. They went toe-to-toe with the Pacers in the conference semis. The second round, yeah.
Yeah, but, like, you kind of felt good. Like, yeah, all right, Miami is back. Felt great. The way that this one is different is Miami had the ball with, you know, time left on the clock, and they were driving down the field. It was in their home stadium. You had gone through so much. Like, just to make it into the college football playoff was a war in itself.
And you had it right there for you, so it's a little bit different. The heartbreak there wasn't that we just lost. It was like, damn it, like ā

Chapter 8: What humorous anecdotes do the hosts share about their experiences?
I wouldn't say, though, that that's the only difference. What Zaz is talking about is having a general gratitude. That program raised you and set the expectations in a place that the standard is totally unreasonable. Like the Panthers, you got it. And we're like, holy shit, I got to do that. But you've already done this with the hurricane. You did this for many years with the Hurricanes.
So you've taken the beating the last few years. But you're right when you say they squandered. The basketball team squandered all the momentum that they had. They were in the position the football team's in. You're supposed to take that and springboard it.
The idea that they didn't have a team a few months ago, that their coach had retired, and they'd squandered it all, and now we're beating North Carolina. Well, that's not much of a court storming because it was a milling about. I was ready to call child services on Mike Ryan. I was ready to use the telestrator correctly today and said, show me all the other children who are on this court.
You don't bring a child to a court storming. Like everybody knows you don't do that. But this wasn't a court storming. This was a gathering.
It was a gathering.
They're skipping out onto the court. It was an occurrence. It was like a picnic.
But it was also, the court wasn't totally full, so it doesn't feel... No, we didn't know if we were allowed to.
No, good, so it wasn't dangerous.
No court shame. It didn't feel dangerous. Mike was allowed to saunter on the fringes because there wasn't a bustle at the middle of it that had too many people.
