When the Hurricanes announced their “Go to Fewer Games!” campaign before the season began, this is not what they meant. This past Saturday, the paid crowd of 41,519 for the Hurricanes’ 41-20 win over Arkansas State looked like half that number in cavernous Sun Life Stadium, and it was a…

Miami has the Dolphins, the greatest most frustrating football team. A week after getting a plethora of good-job-smiley-faces on their Patriots test, the Dolphins came out and bombed their follow-up Buffalo Bills exam 29-10 like they had been out the night before playing Fireball shots flip-cup. Even worse, the team’s…

Well, that escalated quickly. A crowd-funded campaign to raise cash to fly a “Fire Al Golden” banner at an upcoming UM game has already reached its $1,000 goal; the banner is tentatively scheduled to fly at the November 15th Florida State game, the GoFundMe movement’s founder tells Riptide. Now the…

So, was that legit? Dolphins fans have to be asking themselves that question this week as the glow wears off from the Phins 33-20 ass-punting of the New England Patriots. After watching the Dolphins start 3-0 last year, then darf-and-barf away the season in every way possible, you really can’t…

Patience with Al Golden is beginning to wear thin among University of Miami fans and ex-players. Like Keira Knightley-thin. Last weekend’s demolition of creampuff Florida A&M did little to calm those frustrations, and now a few fans have decided to let their frustration be known. In a very public way…

We waited eight months for that? This past Monday, Hurricanes fans got a glimpse of their 2014 squad in a nationally televised 31-13 blowout loss to the Louisville Cardinals. The fans were not impressed. The play was much the same as what we saw all last season, which was incredibly…

Tonight the Miami Marlins should call up Giancarlo Stanton’s agent and offer the ballplayer a $200 million contract. Yes, tonight. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Not this off-season. Tonight. It’s becoming increasingly clear that one surprisingly not-totally-crappy Miami Marlins season is not enough to convince Giancarlo Stanton that Miami is…

The Miami Dolphins complete their preseason schedule tonight against the St.Louis Rams, and a lot of questions still remain. Entering the 2014-15 season, the team wants to change its mediocre ways and get back into the playoffs for the first time still 2010. If that is to happen, a lot…

The Miami Hurricanes will kick off their 2014-15 football season Labor Day against the Louisville Cardinals in a rematch of their 36-9 Russell Athletic Bowl loss this past December. Much has changed in just a few short months — both teams will sport new quarterbacks and many different starters this…

Here we go again, Dolphins fans, another season is upon us and you know what that means! Probably pain and suffering! But maybe not! Woo-hooo!? Outsiders love to poke fun at Miami Marlins crowds and Miami Heat fans that arrive late, but few dare question Miami Dolphins fans loyalty. Dolphins…

It’s official: Miami Dolphins football is back. Well, the real thing is still a few weeks off, but the Dolphins fumbled away a game-winning drive twice in a matter of 30 seconds in their preseason loss to the Falcons last Friday, so you can tell the real thing is just…

Last month, Ohio newspapers refused to take The Dan LeBatard Show’s money for a simple “You’re Welcome” message to LeBron James in their publications; it appears they have chosen poorly. Thwarted in their first bet to poke fun at LeBron’s lack of thanking Dade County fans on his way out…

When LeBron James headed back home to Cleveland, he forgot to pack something Heat fans hoped he’d take with him — namely, the national hate for Dade County’s fans. Before LeBron came to Miami, no one really had a problem with Heat fans, but while he was here, Heat fans…

The countdown is on. Miami Hurricanes football is just thirty-three days away from returning when the Canes face the Louisville Cardinals in their opener September 1. So how better to get ready than catching up with Canes superfan Cutler Ridge Laz? The man behind the #CanesFam Twitter movement weighs in…

Does LeBron James’ defection to the Cleveland Cavaliers mean the Miami Dolphins could regain the top spot in Miami fans’ hearts? That’s the question many have been asking this past week as the dust settles from the Miami Heat’s loss of the best player in the NBA. Miami has always…

A few short days ago, the future didn’t look so great for Miami Heat fans. LeBron James decided he was homesick, Chris Bosh was close to joining the Houston Rockets, and the Bulls were calling Dwyane Wade to check if he wanted a get-out-of-Miami-jail-free card. Then Pat Riley got to…

I’ll never forget how regretful I was. In 1993, just six days shy of my 14th birthday, Michael Jordan abruptly announced his retirement from the NBA. I promised myself if he ever came back, I would watch every game intently and appreciate him for what he was — a once-in-a-lifetime…

All hell has broken loose, and everyone is a suspect. Everything is a sign. Everyone knows; nobody knows. Yesterday was one of the most ridiculous days in the history of the internet, as Heat fans and Cavs fans sat around their Twitter feeds all day waiting for something, anything, to…
