About this episode
It’s Hate Week. Former Miami Hurricane Hain Gonzalez —member of the early-2000s title squad and the voice behind the “ Dominate ” rallying cry—breaks down UM vs FSU, why Mario Cristobal’s culture is working, and how winning the trenches (OL/DL) redefines Canes football. We hit mindset, accountability, road-game noise, WRs blocking, a rejuvenated defense under new leadership, and Hain’s keys: protect the ball, control the line, keep the QB in the pocket , and execute every drive. Plus his score pick (42–10), favorite rivalry memory, and one legend he’d teleport onto this roster.
