David Samson's primary contribution today was to tell us again and again what month it was as we talked about the things that happened in sports yesterday, which is indeed during this month. He didn't think it was relevant that the University of Miami won the way that it won. I will be on nothing personal with David Samson all week. You can find it 8:00 AM Eastern on YouTube, live every weekday. But Izzy's got a top five list of the top five comebacks in University of Miami football history. Jess, did you ever find out whether or not this can classify as the biggest victory in Vanderbilt sports history of any kind, the victory over Alabama? I don't believe they've had as big of a victory in basketball or baseball that I will remember like that one, but I'm doing it off the top of my head. I don't remember any Vanderbilt sports achievements in my lifetime.

Well, I think it It depends about the amount of importance you place on college football, Dan, because I don't know. David and Jeremy might argue that a World Series Championship.

College World Series? Twice. Didn't know they had won the College World Series.

Two, twice, yes. Okay. Recently. I think 2019, right?

Fourteen and 19. Would you count that as more?

No, I would not.

I mean, but it's college football. Am I right? Yes.

Put it on the poll, Juju. You need to say more? What's more impressive, beating Alabama in football or winning the College Baseball World Series twice? Because I really was just doing basketball and football, so that's an ignorance on my part. What does your top five list look like? Do you have any Oli, Izzy?

Well, before we get to the Oli, of which I have two, University of Miami has a long history, Dan. That's a lot of potential comebacks. It's been a lot of decades going on. I'm only 47. I wasn't really... I mean, I was alive, but I don't really remember a lot of those '80s ones. So I made the list basically from the time that I graduated graduated college in 1999. That makes sense for everybody, right?

Sure. Okay, yes. The last 25 years, basically.

There we go. So it's the last 25 years, and there are two OLIs. All right.

Quarter century of comebacks. David, do you think that the victory over Cal is going to make his top seven here?

Well, with two OLIs and only doing it to 1999, yes, it better, or else we spent 40 minutes for nothing.

Let's see what we've got. Yes, 40 minutes. It was almost 50 minutes we spent on that University of Miami victory. What's your first Oli, is he?

Oli, number 1. October 23rd, 1999, 15 years after Hale Flutti, we all remember Hale Flutti, where they beat the Hurricains on a Doug Flutti, Hale Mary. The Canes rallied from 28 points down in the third quarter to beat Boston College in Boston, 31 to 28. I call that the Kenny Kelly era, if you can even call it the Kenny Kelly era, an era. Can you say that? I can't say that. You cannot say it.

I cannot say that.

You had- You had- You had-cut that up.

Cut that up for me, Chris, so that at the end of this, I can play for Izzy how poorly he said Kenny Kelly. The other OLA- The other Oli is this comeback currently happening by the University of Miami.

Look, the amount of shit we've had to take over the years, whether it be from you or from Mike Ryan or even Steu God, saying, Hey, the U is back, the U is back. We had to go through coaches like Al Golden and Manny Diaz and Randy Shant and still believe that they're back. This feels like the realest they're back. So this comeback currently is Oli Number 5. Number 5. October 12, 2002. Extending their winning streak to 28 games, a defending National Champion Huracan's Comeback from 14 down on the fourth quarter against hated rival FSU. You might remember this one as Wide Left.

They were down 19 to three in a fourth quarter against FSU, but that might have been previous to '99 because that was like Michael Irvin.

It also didn't feel the same way this one did. The Carrians were number They had this really long winning streak. It was FSU at home, and they came back after being down two scores in the fourth quarter. Dan, pretty big.

I'm looking right now at Kenny Kelly's because I don't know who Kenny Kelly is. I've got, Kenny Kelly was a Major League baseball player in the '70s. I got Kenny Kelly, singer. I'm not remembering a Kenny Kelly era of University of Miami football.

Okay, we're going to have to look that one up. Number 4, September 6, 2003, trailing 33 to 10 in the third quarter to the hated Florida Gators in the Orange Bowl. Not done. Former Florida quarterback, Brock Berlin, who transferred to Miami, scored 28 unanswered points for the Hurricanes for a 38 to 33 win.

Rest in peace, Kenny Kelly of '90s R&B Group Riff.

I don't think that's him. Number 3, October 31st, 2015. It was just a three-point comeback, Dan. It was just a three-point comeback, but it included six seconds and eight laterals. Okay, and of Cornelder ended up winning it, taking it to the house to beat number 22 Duke in Durham. Is it three-point comeback? It's a comeback because there was three points down and there was six seconds left on the clock. Think about that. You have to come back in six seconds, David. It was one play. Okay. Huge comeback. Number 2, October fifth, 2024. Coming back down 25 in the third quarter to Cal in a classic Atlantic Coast conference, rivalry game within, again, I said this earlier, spitting distance of the Pacific Ocean that began the hurricanes Cal game at 10:30 Eastern Time.

Number one.

Number one, September 27, 2024. This comeback came with no time on the clock. Can you get more impressive than coming back with no time on the clock from that ridiculous shutdown call against Virginia Tech in the Halle Mary? If they didn't have replay, it would have immediately gone down as a top three worst call in the history of sports, but the hurricanes prevailed, coming back and winning that game after review.

Jeremy, can you tell me where I stand, corrected on the Kenny Kelly era of-Thank you, Jeremy. University of Miami, quarterback.

Kenny Kelly was drafted to the Tampa Bay Rays in 1997 at a high school, but forego, forewent? Forwent. Forwent. Going to the Minor to play college football at the University of Miami. He was the starting quarterback in 1999. He then had a storied career in Major League Base in which he had, I believe, 87 at bats.

Give me, please, the sound, Chris Cody, of is he trying to say Kenny Kelly correctly?

The Kenny Kelly era, if you can even call the Kenny Kelly era an era. Can you say that? No, you can't. The Kenny Kelly era, if you can even call it, the Kenny Kelly era, an era. Can you say that? No, you can't. The Kenny Kelly era, the Kenny Kelly era, if you can even if you can even call the Kenny Kelly era an era. Can you say that?

By the way, Vanderbilt won a national championship in bowling in 2023. Wow.
