We are ready!! It's officially FOOTBALL SEASON as Miami kicks off the 2025 season against Notre Dame this Sunday night and everyone on the show is hyped for this one. The narrative seems to be all about the history of this matchup and Miami never being able to fill the Rock, but we all feel like this one is going to deliver in a huge way for the Canes. But we aren't sleeping on Notre Dame, because Jeremiyah Love and the coaching are both exceptional for the Irish coming into this season. Toast thinks this game hinges on the Miami secondary, largely because of the money that was spent to rebuild that position group. But Roman feels like while this game would not be a playoff eliminator for Miami, it could be for Notre Dame. And everyone lays out the things that scare us most on the chance we lose this game. Our boy Roddy Jones also brings up an amazing point on his ACC Network podcast this week about the narrative surrounding Carson Beck's interceptions and how it would change dramatically if you look at the interceptions that were not on Beck. And it's the official return of everyone's Three Keys to the Game - where Scoop needs us to slow down Jeremiyah Love, Toast has eyes on the secondary, and Roman wants the crowd to blow the roof off the Rock. Plus we touch on Arch Manning's quote of the week and set some expectations for the young man, Bryce Underwood setting a high bar for Michigan fandom and himself, and some audio of the week from Marlins closer Tyler Phillips who dropped an all-time post-game interview. We officially go through the first HUGE week of games for the official return of Pick 'Ems! The games on the docket are Georgia Tech at Colorado, #1 Texas at #3 Ohio State, Syracuse at #24 Tennessee, #8 Alabama at Florida State, #9 LSU at #4 Clemson, Virginia Tech at #13 South Carolina... and of course #6 Notre Dame at #10 Miami! And we make our score predictions for the Miami game and lay out how we think it will go. 00:00 Welcome to Week 1 02:45 Biggest Season Expectations 04:19 Notre Dame Game Analysis 06:13 Miami Hurricanes Fan Base 07:06 Quarterback and Secondary Discussion 12:04 Keys to the Game 15:05 Predictions and Picks 29:07 Partners and Sponsors 40:59 Arch Manning and College Football Stories 44:05 Bryce Underwood's Confidence 49:21 Tyler Phillips' Intensity 52:56 College Football Picks 01:01:48 Miami vs. Notre Dame Predictions This episode is presented by Paul Bange Roofing,the Miami Hurricane Team Store, BeatinTheBookie.com & Manscaped.
