News / catholics vs convicts

For the past 15 something years the University of Miami has tried to back away from their swagger and "Convicts" days when Da U was dominating college football in the 80's and 90's.  Yesterday new head coach Manny Diaz (the creator of the Turnover Chain) announced it loud and clear he isn't gonna back down from the swagger for the Convicts.  In fact he's returning it ten fold if this story at a Nike Coaches Clinic is true...

Listen I'm a self admitted Miami hater.  I hated the Convicts with a passion back in the "Catholics vs Convicts" days when Jimmy Johnson and his punk ass team would showboat and strut all over the field.  But as much as I hated them I gotta admit I missed them these past 15 something years.  Much like college football  is better when Notre Dame is kicking the shit out of Michigan every year the sport is a hell of a lot better when Miami is strutting all over the field, starting fights outside the locker room while getting off the plane in army fatigues.  That's the fucking Miami Hurricanes I remember and loathed.  This is why I absolutely fucking love Diaz dropping his nuts on Taggart at a Nike camp in Orlando.  He's doing his best to change the culture back to the Convicts.  Granted if this story is true Diaz committed multiple NCAA rule infractions not to mention real life laws but that is neither here or there.

Diaz is a Miami boy who has seen Da U's powerful Hurricane like attitude decline to not even a brisk fart in the wind.  Diaz has already turned Miami into Transfer Portal U this off season by convincing 5-star recruits to come to Coral Gables such as UCLA's Jaelan Phillips and his teammate defensive tackle Chigozie Nnoruka, as well as Ohio State quarterback Tate Martell and USC safety Bubba Bolden.  It remains to be seen if any of the former 5-stars will pan out or even be eligible this season but if Diaz can attack their development like he has their recruitment we could very well see the return of the swagger and most importantly the W's to Da U.

This feels like the good old days when both of these programs were battling for #1 supremacy.  #3 Notre Dame vs #7 Miami for a chance to stay in the playoff hunt.  Catholics vs the undefeated Convicts in Miami on primetime TV is what college football is all about.

It's official!  Da U is back!  

Not only did the Hurricanes win in convincing fashion on the field Saturday night vs Virginia Tech to move to 8-0 but the fans are getting back to the old "Convicts" moniker by fighting the cops in the stands.  This lovely lady obviously had one too many Hurricane drinks and needed to be escorted by mosh pit by Miami's finest when she made the mistake to throw a couple of punches at a cop.  The cop did not like her swipe and abruptly knocked her ass out cold with a backhand.

So what's the verdict on this altercation?

First we got an obvious penalty on the drunk female.  You can't assault an officer.  It's not recommended.  Second you can't strike her back like that when she is being carried by three other officers.  What we have here is offsetting penalties.  Replay the down.

In the meantime the undefeated Hurricanes will be hosting ESPN's College Game Day for the first time in over a decade as the #3 Notre Dame Fighting Irish visit this Saturday.  The game will be in primetime on ABC.  It feels like old times as we get a good old fashion "Catholics vs Convicts" game that actually means something.

I mean you can't swing at a cop, but lay her down & cuff her. Don't throw a hook. Expect lawyers to be involved... pic.twitter.com/d1WuNQ7DQM
