Dear JD: I think I want a divorce
The Miami Hurricanes have lost to another unranked team, this time the SMU Mustangs, and are now out of the ACC Championship Game picture unless something absolutely beyond possibility happens to the half dozen teams in line before them.

Miami Hurricanes injury updates 11/3
At his Monday presser, Miami Hurricanes head coach Mario Cristobal was asked about the health status of several players. The answers were probably not what Canes fans wanted to hear. On offense, starting running back Mark Fletcher Jr. is unlikely to play this week against Syracuse. Miami’s starting RB got dinged up in the second […]

Top 25: Week 11
Week 10 saw a lot of movement outside the top ten. The six top ranked teams in the country all stayed put. The ACC had the biggest shakeup of any conference, with Georgia Tech and Miami both losing on the road. Both schools fell out of the top ten and will be fighting uphill for […]
5 up, 5 down from Miami’s 26-20 loss to SMU
The Miami Hurricanes lost a game they very much should have won on Saturday afternoon, falling to SMU and a number of former Canes in Dallas 26-20. It was a game where Miami was, as they so often are under Mario Cristobal, their own worst enemy far too often. From penalties to poor execution to […]

Storm Center: November 2, 2025

Three Stars: Miami vs SMU
The Miami Hurricanes lost to the SMU Mustangs today in Dallas, 26-20. I was driving from Nassau County to Orlando with my son during the first three quarters.

Miami loses to SMU in overtime 26-20; promising season now basically over

Should Xavier Restrepo be elevated to Titans Active Roster?
Of all the ProCanes currently sitting on practice squads, none feels more primed for an opportunity – or is talked about more – than Xavier Restrepo. Restrepo has endured a waiting game throughout the season, similar to the one he had to do during draft weekend in April. And honestly, given how sluggish the Tennessee […]
Connections abound between Miami and SMU
There are always connections between teams in conference games. Whether it be history or current, there are storylines and connections that go beyond simply lining up and playing football against an opponent. Miami’s next opponent has much more of a Miami flavor and more connections than anybody on the schedule outside of Florida State. I’ve […]
