Tailgate Tales - U Miami vs. Duke

We invented swag. We're the best in the world. Heard that? Yes sir. Hey guys, it's Sophia outside of Hard Rock Stadium. The Miami Hurricanes are playing their homecoming game against Duke today. Let's see what the tailgates have to say. What time did you get here today? 7 30 in the morning. I want to say we got here at 8:30, 9, yeah. No, we got here a little later. We got here like around 9. 9? 9 o'clock? We got here around 8:45, 8:30. Um, what, like 9 a.m. I think? 9 o'clock. 9 o'clock? Okay, what's the biggest difference between a homecoming tailgate and a regular tailgate? It depends the time of the game. I think the later games, it gets more packed, the tailgates. These early games, the tailgates are not as packed, but they're still great. The culture. People come back, the energy's high. It's a vibe, you know? It's a vibe. I think just the fact that there's so many people from different years here, like, you know, every other game has the regulars, but I think this pulls people from out of town. Yeah. Homecoming tailgate? I mean, for us it's the same. Yeah, we're here, we're showing love, it doesn't matter if it's homecoming or not. We go all out for every game. Okay. I think there's a lot more passion around the stadium and all this stuff. It definitely has a little bit of a better vibe for the homecoming target. What is one unspoken rule about being a Canes fan? We invented swag. We're the best in the world. Heard that? Yes sir. I don't know, you gotta bleed orange and green. I mean, I don't think it's unspoken. We don't like FSU, we don't like UF, we hate Notre Dame. So that's not what it is baby Kings fans. Oh, one unspoken rule about being a Nittany Lion. You gotta hate FSU. Like, hate Notre Dame, like as of right now I guess. You gotta hate Notre Dame, you gotta hate Ohio State, you gotta hate Florida Gators. Call it now, what's one thing that's gonna happen today in the game? Um... Mark Fletcher breakout game. He's going to have a hell of a game. I don't know. I'd love to see Mensah, like, run for a touchdown. We're going to blow them out, a thousand percent. In today's game, oh, we need to make a statement because we didn't like how Notre Dame ended up, so it's going to be a blowout. We're going to put our foot on their throat. Darian Mensah, 500-plus yards. Okay. And then what's your final score prediction? Uh, four years ago, 42-14, Canes. 37 to 0. Zero. 35 to 17. I think we're going to put up 30 plus points. That's my voice. I'm not very good at these, but I'm going to shoot one up, all right? I'm going to say 10 to 37. 42 to 10. Well, the predictions are in, and we'll see who's right. This is Sophia Garman with Miami Hurricanes on SI, and I'll see you at the next tailgate.
