Episode Details

Dan Rad is stepping away, nine Hurricanes just got drafted, and Miami fans somehow found something to complain about anyway. Par for the course.

The boys are back with a loaded episode 455. First up — the Dan Radakovich era is officially closing and the name circulating for Athletic Director is Michael Yormark, the guy with the Rock Nation resume and a twin brother running the Big 12. The crew breaks down what kind of AD Miami actually needs right now (hint: less CEO, more CMO/CFO hybrid), and why the NIL fundraising job matters a whole lot more than the traditional stuff.

Then it's full draft recap mode. Nine Hurricanes taken — Francis at 10, Reuben Bain at 15, Akeem at 22, Carson Beck, Markel Bell, Jacoby Thomas, Kete Scott, Cooper and CJ Daniels all hearing their names called. The guys go pick by pick on landing spots, who's got a real shot to start early, and why CJ Daniels to the Rams might be the sneaky best placement of the whole class.

Plus — the Reuben Bain viral draft moment (he walked right past the mirror and didn't even stop), the Arizona Cardinals calling the wrong number on their third overall pick, Mark Matthews and the Texas A&M recruiting drama, and the Brendan Sorsby situation at Texas Tech — a gambling addiction story that had Miami all-in before the wheels came completely off. Bullet very much dodged.

LIV Golf is on life support, Dral Novak is enjoying his week at Doral, and the show wraps on a debate about a Spiderman thermos that somehow ends in the episode title. Only on OBB.
