Latest from The Press Box

Orange Bowl Boys Episode 449 | "Get In, Let's Go, Pwah" Israel Abrams — the 24-0 QB from Illinois who's never lost a game — commits to Miami live on the Pat McAfee Show, and the boys break down why he could be the next Nico Collins. Then the crew digs into the chase for Jalen Brewster, the #1 overall recruit in the 2027 class, currently committed to Texas Tech — and why Miami just might be able to flip him. Spring practice is heating up. Malachi Tony is rocking #1 and coming in with a chip on his shoulder. Mensa and D-Dog are already finishing each other's sentences. And the receiving room? Disgustingly deep. The guys debate whether this is the deepest Miami team in 20 years, break down the offensive line question nobody actually needs to worry about, and explain why the defense will need to find a new identity without Reuben Bain and Meador. Plus: the NCAA drops a bombshell new age-eligibility rule (5 years from your 19th birthday, no exceptions), the Trump executive order on transfers, and what it all means for portal strategy going forward. Off the field: one of the guys just got back from Augusta National for the Masters with Andrew Novak, and his behind-the-scenes report — $14 for two sandwiches, drinks, and two cookies; four egg salad sandwiches total; no phones; immaculate restrooms — is something else entirely. Also in this episode: the show title bracket champion is crowned, a Kia Telluride gets a very creative modification, and someone finds their hat inside an Easter Bunny costume a full year after losing it. 🏈 Orange Bowl Boys | Episode 449 is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease, and BeatinTheBookie.com. 00:00 Intro 00:30 Where's Scoop Been? 02:00 The Kia Telluride Hidden Arrow 03:30 Paul Bange Hat Returns! 07:00 OBB Blog Recap 08:00 March Madness Show Title Bracket Champion 10:30 Israel Abrams Commits to Miami (Pat McAfee Show) 15:30 Mensa & Malachi Tony — D-Dog Connection & #1 Jersey 17:00 Mario Cristobal Riding the Tight Ends in Practice 18:00 Bryce Fitzgerald on Mensa 20:30 Wide Receiver Room Depth 21:30 Why You Never Worry About the O-Line 24:00 Jalen Brewster — Chasing the #1 Overall Recruit 26:00 David Wilson as D-Line Alpha / Deepest Team in 20 Years 29:00 Defense Identity Shift Without Bain & Meador 31:00 Sponsors and Partners 33:30 Andrew Novak at the Masters — Behind the Scenes 37:00 Augusta Deep Dive — No Phones, $14 Food, Green Jackets 41:30 NCAA Age Eligibility Rule Explained 42:30 Trump Executive Order on Transfers 45:00 Show Title Vote 47:30 Outro & Big Interview Teaser 🏠 Roofing issues?

Instead of Spring ball, March Madness or mock drafts ... we're talking about coked-up sharks, high profile crossdressers, idiots in Zoom court, and for the first time ever... man is going to the moon! Welcome to OBB Benched! We open with the jokes about going back to the moon, which launches us into the moon conspiracy corner about whether or not we've actually been there. Kristi Noem's husband also gets a nod about the cross-dressing allegations this week, and the memes have been out of control. The story of the week is about coked up sharks roaming the Caribbean, which leads us to a debate about what animal we would not want to face.when hopped up on drugs. And hilarious audio from a=another idiot who lied to a judge about driving while in Zoom court, which allows us to revisit our all-time favorite morons in court. And Roman closes it with a round of Five Questions... including what you're saying to the world when you step out of the moon lander, rules we follow for no logical reason, our comfort foods, things that seem like they should be an April Fool's joke but aren't, and This episode is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease, and BeatinTheBookie.com. 00:00 Welcome to Benched 00:31 Moon Parking Lot Jokes 03:45 Did We Land Debate 08:48 Kristi Noem Husband Scandal 11:01 Cocaine Fueled Sharks 14:32 AI Reality Check Claude 16:01 Idiot In Zoom Court 19:34 Question1 - Moon Quote 21:10 Question 2 - Weird Rules 23:51 Question 3 - Famous in 200 Years 26:37 Question 4 - Comfort Food Confessions 28:38 Question 5 - April Fools But Real 31:35 Naming the Episode 33:37 Wrap Up and Sign Off Roofing issues?

We open the show by talking about the upcoming Spring Game which is already sold out - even though it's only at Cobb Stadium, which doesn't seat all that many people. As we get down to Greentree, the question is could Miami have hit lightning twice with Wingo coming in and a freshman and turning so many heads? Scoop also interrupts Greentree for real estate story time, where he got to singing at a recent showing that led to re-releasing all of his band's old music on a bunch of platforms. (The band's name is Releese if you want to find them!) Roman also tweeted out this week that Miami is in "reload season" and as we look down the line-up of guys getting drafted compared to all the new guys coming in, it's impressive how much they've been able to sustain compared to how much they lost. And that speaks to the new culture they've built in Miami, especially seeing guys who are headed to the pros come back to work with the new guys at Spring practice. Plus we showcase a little of Mario's appearance on Josh Pate's show, speaking on when the season changed for Miami last year, and how the guys feel it will change going into this year. And as we get further down the depth chart, the discussion about Judd rising up to the 2 spot at QB takes over, with what to expect from Dereon going forward and what it means for his future in Miami. We also hear from Cooper Barkate, who while training in LA talked about the wild transfer process from Duke while Mensah was getting sued. Toast also shines the spotlight on some of the standout freshmen making a name for themselves at Spring practice. Audio of the week comes to us from the WILD UConn comeback and upset over Duke, as we play both the UConn call (which was awful) and the Duke call (which was borderline hilarious), spinning us into a debate who reigns supreme in Toast's fandom. And the hilarious moment at the Elite Eight where the shot clock horn got stuck.

A MIAMI HURRICANES PODCAST

MIAMI WINS 28-22 AT FLORIDA STATE – Orange Bowl Boys Week 6 Recap Show

We are STATE CHAMPS as we get into the huge 28-22 win on the road in Trailer-hassee last night. Everyone has huge props for the defense yet again, and Ro admits he’s struggling right now to find holes in this roster. Toast also breaks down the numbers because the game stats really lean in favor of Florida State, largely due to that 4th quarter run. But Scoop goes back to his second key to the game which was the Canes connecting over the top which Miami did very well last night.

One of the biggest questions from the night was Mario going for it on 4th down late instead of kicking a field goal to stretch the lead, and we all agree that we’ve wanted Mario to be more aggressive for a while. It was just a weird time for […]
