“How the Miami Hurricanes rose from a laughingstock to a college football legend-and reshaped American sports. When fans think of college football, they think of Miami-the cool school with street cred that all the kids dream of playing for. A powerhouse unlike any other, they are a dynasty fueled not by individuals but by the aura of “”The Miami Vice”"-a swaggering, trash-talking, us-against-the-world mentality. But less than 25 years ago, the program faced extinction. Now, five national championships-and five different coaches-later, Miami is the preeminent football factory, boasting such high-profile NFL alumni as Michael Irvin, Ray Lewis, Warren Sapp, Jim Kelly, Vinny Testaverde, Clinton Portis, and Jeremy Shockey. Nothing is typical about the ‘Canes. Not the brutal, “”voluntary”" 6 a.m. workouts in July. Or the merciless drilling of teammates who show fear. Not the constant pressure from their Godfathers, the ex-Canes who want them to uphold the legacy-and will make them pay if they don’t. And certainly not the reputation that has made the Hurricanes synonymous with excellence-even among superstar athletes. Now, an award-winning sportswriter gives us a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the Miami program-after more than ten years of special access as a former UM student and beat writer. This is the amazing story of how Miami has won more national championships over the last two decades than Notre Dame, Oklahoma, and Florida State combined-and gone from near-death to dynasty.”
Customer Review: Biased, not at all objective, and fairly ignorant summary
Hmmm… let me guess… Bruce Feldman went to the University of Miami? He did? Shocking!
The only reason I continued reading this book is because I am a big college football fan. The book goes something like this…
Feldman spends a few hundred pages defending the thuggery, classlessness, and corruption that is the University of Miami football program. It is a boring and pathetic defense, in which he blames administrators (wow, people actually want to emphasize academic integrity and sportsmanship?), the media (EVERYONE is just out to get the “U”!) and America (they hate us because we’re black). Feldman, fess up: Miami is a pure embarrassment not only to college football, but to anybody with a degree from “Suntan U”. Move on, folks. Some things just don’t deserve a defense– Miami football is one of them.
(Also, try to avoid listening to this guy whine when he’s on ESPN. Brutal.) More Info
