I told you all.
Not whispered. Not hinted. I told you.
Watch out for the Canes.
And on New Year’s Eve, inside Jerry World, Miami didn’t just show up — they blew the roof off the place and sent the defending champion Ohio State Buckeyes straight into offseason group-chat therapy with a 24–14 beatdown that felt way more disrespectful than the final score.
This game wasn’t close.
It was weather-related.
Rookie sensation and Heisman candidate Julian Sayin walked into this game with hype, confidence, and absolutely no idea what Miami’s front seven had planned for him.
Rueben Bain Jr.
Akheem Mesidor
David Blay Jr.
Those names should come with a warning label.
The Canes weren’t rushing the passer — they were hunting. From the opening snap, Ohio State’s offensive line looked like it accidentally signed up for a survival show instead of a College Football Playoff game.
Sayin finished the night with a brutal –42 rushing yards, which means every time he tried to escape the pocket, a Hurricane was already there asking for ID. Ohio State — a program that’s always been able to run the football — couldn’t run if the field was downhill and the exits were clearly marked.
Relentless. Physical. Angry.
That wasn’t defense.
That was supreme dominance.
Before Buckeye Nation starts throwing remotes and blaming the refs — relax.

Jeremiah Smith is a monster.
157 yards. A touchdown. Looked dominant. Looked effortless. Looked like a top-3 pick in next year’s NFL Draft already picking out his suit.
But football isn’t one-on-seven. And while Smith was putting on a show, his quarterback was reenacting a fire drill on every snap.
Even superheroes need protection.
Here’s where things got uncomfortable in Columbus.
Ryan Day — who has been a great play caller throughout his career — decided this was the moment to take back play-calling duties after Brian Hartline ran the offense all season.
And sometimes the best coaching decision is doing nothing.
Changing voices in the headset against this Miami defense felt like switching pilots mid-flight and hoping turbulence sorts itself out. The rhythm was off. The timing was gone. And Sayin looked like a rookie again — because Miami made sure of it.
This was the real shocker.
Miami’s defense out-dueled Ohio State’s defense — a unit that’s been called the best in the country for the last five years.
The Canes hit harder. Closed faster. Tackled angrier. They dictated the tone from kickoff to kneel-down.
This wasn’t a fluke.
This was four quarters of “we belong here” football.

All week long we heard it.
Miami didn’t belong.
They were “squeezed in.”
Notre Dame should’ve been here.
Carson Beck was the “sexier pick.”
I said it Monday on Joba and The Mouth when USA Today writer Scooby Axson joined the show — Miami was being doubted for all the wrong reasons.
Well, after knocking off the defending national champions, I’d say the committee is sitting back right now feeling pretty good about that decision.
Sexy fades.
Pass rush travels.
And if the football gods needed to co-sign this win?
Ray Lewis dancing.
Michael Irvin celebrating.
Pure Canes energy on the sideline.
Then there was Jimmy Johnson — Hurricanes legend, Hall of Famer — celebrating in Dallas, a familiar city where he built a dynasty with the Dallas Cowboys, winning two Super Bowls and changing the NFL forever.
History doesn’t repeat itself.
It shows up with receipts.
Ohio State was favored.
Ohio State was confident.
Ohio State was the defending champions.
Miami was doubted.
Miami was angry.
Miami was ready.
This wasn’t just a win — this was a statement, a reminder, and a warning shot to the rest of the playoff field.
I told you to watch out for the Canes.
You didn’t listen.
Now the Buckeyes are watching the rest of the playoff from the couch.

My name is Errol Marks and I’d like to tell you why I believe I can be a major asset to your station. I’m from a small town in Long Island, NY and from a very young age I’ve always had a love for sports talk radio. Growing up, I would listen religiously to shows like Mike and the Mad Dog, Mike and Mike, and Imus in the Morning and studied what made those shows so great. I’ve made it my goal to be as influential as the hosts I grew up listening to, and with my knowledge of all major sports, enthusiastic and fearless personality, and my preparation skills, I know I can get to that level. This is an art and a medium that I’m passionate about and one that I feel can never be replaced.
What makes my story so unique goes beyond my 10+ years of experience in sports media. In addition to over ten years of creating and hosting sports talk radio shows, I created the World Wide Sports Radio Network - one of the first ever digital sports radio networks - in 2012. Since the network began, we have had some of the best content in digital sports media. We have six quality shows on our network covering all sports and sports betting. I’m currently hosting New York’s Sports Loud Mouth, and you can find that show and the rest of our great shows at https://worldwidesportsradio.com/.
Our network’s content and listenership has grown significantly year to year and, in the past year, we’ve achieved 3.6 million minutes listened on our audio stream, over 29k followers on tik tok, 500k viewed on YouTube, 1.7 million downloads on Apple Podcasts, and 906,917 plays on Spotify. While we are enjoying a continued increase in growth, I feel that we can take this to a new level and a new audience with your help.
My goal since the day I started is to become the greatest and most recognizable sports radio show host in the country. I can guarantee that nobody in this industry currently has my passion, personality or ability to shape the future of sports broadcasting and entertainment like I do. If given the opportunity, I hope to further share my story and many talents with you and your station.
