So many fun parallels in this game.
Mendozas father played high school football with Cristobal. They were teammates.
Mendozas mother played tennis on the University of Miami tennis team and it is her alma mater.
And Mendoza grew up a mile from the stadium where the NC will be played.

the miami D seems to be pretty banged up. that's the problem when u make teams play 3 games to win a title.

And Mendoza grew up a mile from the stadium where the NC will be played.

On TV he indicated that he grew up a mile from campus.
Either way, it's an interesting story.

There is plenty of reasons, but for me the main one is Indiana got here the right way, undefeated, and won their conference. They deserve the story book ending. Miami is lucky enough things broke their way after two losses to even have the opportunity to be here.

I don't see how this is a plus for the ACC.
This benefits Miami. They don't care about the ACC.
Conference championships and clout are becoming more and more meaningless.

It's going to make Miami richer.

Is this really a question? Why would anyone root for the Big Ten over the ACC? Go Miami! ( As much as I might otherwise detest them.)
