Hurricane Sports

Previous Heisman winners in Vinny Testavarde & Gino Torretta. A team holding the record for most consecutive victories (58) at home. A team that also holds several record in regards to the NFL Draft. One is having a first round draft pick every year from 1995-2008. That's 14 straight years.

To buck that trend, Miami did have a coach(Coker) that was certainly a little more under the cover in comparison to most of the others. Since 2007, Larry Shannon has been given the opportunity to turn the program around. Several bowl game appearances in the school's history. They play every single year against two opponents(FSU & UF) that they don't like too well. Some really good players have been accepted into the Hurricane football program. A rumble on the field back in 2006 with FIU caused a lot of skepticism. This tangle lead to more than 10 players being expelled for a game. A QB from 1986 & one from 1992 taking home the Heisman Trophy. Two former coaches(Howard Schnellengberger & Larry Coker) have won the Paul "Bear" Bryant award given for top coach in college football.

A college baseball program considered to the amongst the best. You can't argue with that having made the equivalent(College World Series) of the MLB World Series for 23 of the past 27 years. Even though they've had 23 appearances winning only 4 titles seems low. Miami decided to move into a baseball conference back in 2004. The conference chosen was the ACC. They have now been a member for 6 years running now. Their 4 total national titles coming from 1982-2001.

A prestigious baseball program for going on 27 years now. Making 23 College World Series appearances in the past 27 years. Out of those 23 appearances winning a total of four national championships. They have been a member of the ACC for 6 years now after coming over from the ranks of the independents. Winning 2 nation titles in a four year time span. And, also winning two more championships in just a three year time frame.Having the same head coach (Jim Morris) since 1994. Only one other coach (Ron Fraser) has beat him for tenure by coaching for 29 years. They both still have something in common too.


There have also been quite a few former Miami baseball players in MLB. Some of the current MLB players are Ryan Braun & Pat Burrell. There's something you may not have known about the baseball program. The current baseball stadium is now named after current Yankee great Alex Rodriguez. This all due to a $3.9 million donation by him back in 2003. Not bad to see from one of the greatest baseball players in the game.
