As we kick off episode 441, we are reminded of the old Zeta “Miss 441” pageant – which spins us into memories of our South Florida youth and Happy Pappy’s. And the guys address the amount of swearing on the podcast in the last few months, and how we will now be instituting safe words each week on the show to curb it back. But we quickly get down to the Greentree and break down CBS Sports ranking Darian Mensah as the #1 quarterback in the ACC, and we look down the entire Top 10 and try to figure out where some of these guys actually played last year.

We also jump into ESPN’s write-up on Miami’s “challenging” offseason, in that teams that have made their title runs in previous years have not found a way back to the title game. But everyone seems to think Miami’s recruiting and reloading is the difference in getting the Canes back into the mix pretty quickly. That includes Mario going in on a lot of the big South Florida recruits and trying to keep these guys home like Rueben Bain Jr did. 

From the Greentree, we transition over to the Watco, as Miami Basketball knocked off Louisville and advanced to the semifinals of the ACC tournament and set themselves up for a March Madness bid. And we shouldn’t be surprised that Jai Lucas got overlooked for Coach of the Year in the ACC, even though he was clear-and-away the most deserving for the award. Plus after a few struggles for Miami baseball, Toast and Roman weigh in on where this team needs improvement to make a run when it counts this summer.
