The tone was set long before the opening kickoff. Miami was the best team in the country and knew it. Everyone knew it. Then they get to Texas and they hand these dudes a bag with Cotton in it? Yeah. This was an ass whipping coming before the game even started.
This was one of the most complete beat downs in college history. Yes there have been bigger blowouts by score, but this was different. Ive never seen a whole team that looked like they wanted to cry. Miami beat them mentally, physically and even spiritually.
Especially in 2000 when the BCS flawed computers put Miami at #3 and FSU at #2. #1 Oklahoma was relieved cause they knew they would have got stomped. Plus Miami have beaten FSU during the season.
I remember watching this game. It was an old fashioned ass kicking, and Bailey set the tone as only he could. Texas didn't even show up. If it wasn't for all the penalties the score would've been much higher.
Halftime, Coach Dennis Erickson: “Team, we’ve got over 100 yards in penalties”. DL Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson: “IT DOESNT MATTER HOW MANY PENALTY YARDS WE GOT”!!
Texas was terrible in those days. Oklahoma shut them down in the Cotton Bowl almost every year. Texas fans have no heart, unless they're winning. Much like Miami.
Say what you want to say about Miami, call them thugs all you want. Miami showed up to play and Texas didn't . This was an old fashion ass kicking. If I recall the 2 teams had a BBQ days before and the Texas players started a fight with Miami.
Both teams were dumb as hell. Who announces they will play man exclusively against a pass happy team with speed? "Real men play man" they said. I wish texas would do this every year in the cotton bowl, itd be a nice easy win, running like 60 crossing patterns.
I had to listen to the game on the radio at work and everytime I got a chance I would check the score.. And everytime I checked the score, Miami had scored again.. The board eliminated Miami from the opportunity to win the title that year, so Miami was out to show them who was really the best. I think they did...
Texas helped miami more than the refs hurt them. Who the hell commits to running straight man defense the entire game before it even starts? They did so openly. So incredibly stupid it makes me think any team with a good qb and wrs wouldve messed them up. Both teams were arrogant, but texas was just stupid.
Testing, testing, is this thing on... I pray that you are watching this Coach Manny Diaz. We NEED to be 'the team to beat again'. Move us forward... The 🙌
These great Miami teams from 1987-94 had so much talent but often had trouble focusing on opponents and would lose or have close calls against teams that had no business being on the same field with them. But when they were laser-focused on an opponent like they were here there was not a team in the country that could hang with them.
Hey Matt, you are right. It is all about the U that Dade County, Opa-Locka, Carol City. The best athletes in the country come out of our city. 4 ever 305!!!!!!
Back before the cancer-zebras ejected a defensive player for doing his job (instilling fear into an opponent). It's beautiful, and I miss the way football is supposed to be played. Like this.
I love my Longhorns, but they brought this beating on themselves. Some of the Texas players were talking smack about Miami before the game, NOT a good idea. I'm no Miami fan, but hopefully my Horns learned a lesson.
Carson Latham , not saying that at all. What I am saying is when you talk smack it almost always comes back on you. When you talk trash it completely removes any chance, (however slim) you had. If Texas had not said those things, we might have not gotten beaten so bad. And don't worry, we haven't forgotten this game and payback will be in order someday.
ibuprofenPill i get what you're saying but in College I prefer the smack talk and if u lose just take the L. Trust me those army fatigues and then u lose SUUUUUUCKED
Dennis Erickson this game had a conversation with the referees, telling him he needed to keep his players on the sideline. Dennis Ericksons response was, "Forget about it. Drop dead, we're gonna win anyhow." God damn.
They lost at BYU the first game of the season then rebounded back into the Top-5 and then lost @Notre Dame in the middle of the season, which knocked them out of National Championship Contention
Da just kicked ass and they invented swagger. America wasn't ready guys like that kicking ass and taking names. Most of those guys played in the NFL Da U
I am a Nebraska fan, I disliked but respected Miami/Florida State, but I LOATHED Texas and when Robert Bailey leveled Chris Samuels on the first play - it was quite refreshing since 1990 was one of Osborne's worst years at Nebraska. As an aside, those Miami/Florida State ass-kickings changed the focus of Husker recruiting in 1991, and were responsible for the 60-3 dominance from 1993-1997.
Bailey showed up with bad intentions and that's good hahaha, Had the privilege to go to every home game and a few away games from 1981 till 2004. God I miss those days. I love the Hurricanes. Graduated from Miami Carol City In 1975. So I remember Chuck Forman , Ted Hendricks, to many to say.
This is the greatest game in football history. Its hands down the most dominant performance in college bowl history. Texas had 20 plays that lost yardage. TWENTY!!! To think that the Canes gifted the Horns with TWO FOOTBALL FIELDS worth of penalty yardage, and still won by 43. Miami couldve won by 70 had that not been the case.
I played against Jesse Armstead in 3rd Round of The Texas UIL HS Football Playoffs 32-Team,and only 1 5-A Division State Championship Game back in 1988 at Texas A&M's Kyle Field.Dallas Carter had some GREAT players on that '88 team. Gary Edwards #2 CB, Derrick Evans#80 DE,Cliffton Abraham CB,David Jones RB#32(with his Earl Campbell thick thigh pads😁) Robert Hall#1 QB. Seen Friday Night Lights? As you know, the score was NOT 63-7 The movie got that wrong,and our helmets had an interlocking white and gold LP,not the words Pack.10-years later then Pack was on the side of the helmets.I played DE,punt coverage,and kickoff coverage.Dallas Carter 31 vs Lufkin Panthers 7.Yes! I played against RB#33 Odell Beckham..the dad vs Marshall,Tx HS They won 33-29
It sure did.Cliffton Abraham went too Florida State when Dieon Sanders was a Sr at FSU.QB Robert Hall Tx Tech. Derrick Evan's Tennessee,and Gary Edwards Univ.Houston before they got arrested for a video store robbery.RB David Jones not sure what school he went too.
"On game day, Miami whipped the Longhorns' collective asses without mercy and with great pleasure. But what was intriguing was the manner- the "What's My Name" style- in which Miami won." - William C. Rhoden "Forty Million Dollar Slaves" brought me here...
at 9:44 I just about died, that celebration by Hill. The commentator as well, just before then, saying this game borders on child abuse. I just about died laughing when I heard that.
They lost @BYU to open the season who at the time was a decent program.Then climbed back into the Top 10 but lost @Notre Dame which pretty ended any hope of a repeat
From 88-91, the four best programs were, Miami, FSU, NOTRE DAME, Penn state. They were at a level that other teams couldn’t compete with. Just like today, where it’s pretty much Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State and maybe Georgia. As you can definitely see in this clip. And this was an off year for Miami who ended up 10-2 that year.
I was working with the Feds and i spoke to a canes fan who watched the game while a student at the Federal Goverment Training Facility in Glynco, Ga. Trainees from Texas make up a large part of the student population and they don't try to hide it. Come Gameday for this game the TV room was packed with Texas trainees minus two Cane fans to include the guy that told me this story. He said that the Texas students were all decked out in cowboy boots, cowboy shirts and huge cowboy hats to make sure everybody understood they represented Texas. You saw what happened above the canes humiliated the Longhorns and the cowboy contingent looked like they were at a funeral. He said the skunked away by the start of the 4th quarter.
This was as big an ass whipping as can possibly be given. If they hadn't acted the fool with all the penalties, the score would have been 75-0. We were flat out Pirates that day and Texas had no clue what they were in for. In their own stadium. Flat out old school ass kicking.
Miami was CLEARLY the best team in the country at the end of the season, too bad they couldn’t have played the 5th down, luckiest team in the country cu buff-a-holes, they would have beat their ass worse than they did Texass!
Opening kick set the tone with that massive hit. Classic Hurricanes football.
MiamiE man the game wasn’t on good dude get smack in the opener lol
My coach was on the kickoff team and said the guy who made the hit was screaming “IM GONNA KNOCK HIM THE FUCK OUT” like 4 times before kickoff
Robert Bailey's smashing Chris Samuels was a nice way to get things started
He predicted and manifested that before this game.
That's what he said in the "Its all about the U" documentary on ESPN
The tone was set long before the opening kickoff. Miami was the best team in the country and knew it. Everyone knew it.
Then they get to Texas and they hand these dudes a bag with Cotton in it?
Yeah. This was an ass whipping coming before the game even started.
This was one of the most complete beat downs in college history. Yes there have been bigger blowouts by score, but this was different. Ive never seen a whole team that looked like they wanted to cry. Miami beat them mentally, physically and even spiritually.
Completely agree. It wasn’t just the score it was the shear physicality of the beat down. This set Texas back years.
Introducing the 2019 Peach Bowl
thuggish football
@@mikewilliams9069 Pasty inbred 😂😂
@@whitehallavenue1752 yourkind stewpid
The talent on those Miami teams was downright scary. They were good,they knew it and they were going to tell you about it.
If there had been a four-team playoff, they would have won the National Championship.
Scary to think how many titles Miami and FSU would have by now if they had a playoff back in the day.
Especially in 2000 when the BCS flawed computers put Miami at #3 and FSU at #2. #1 Oklahoma was relieved cause they knew they would have got stomped. Plus Miami have beaten FSU during the season.
This was the game that brought the excessive celebration penalty to college football.
Irish Sox this was one of them. The Miami vs Cal game was the other main one
The Miami Rule
😂😂😂😂 FACTS
Miami 😎
I remember watching this game. It was an old fashioned ass kicking, and Bailey set the tone as only he could. Texas didn't even show up. If it wasn't for all the penalties the score would've been much higher.
i saw that game too I was a freshman in high school, My team beating everyone. those were the great years. and more from 1990 to 2005.
Halftime, Coach Dennis Erickson:
“Team, we’ve got over 100 yards in penalties”.
DL Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson:
“IT DOESNT MATTER HOW MANY PENALTY YARDS WE GOT”!!
WOW!! that hit on the opening kickoff....what makes it so great is that bailey said he would do just that minutes before they kicked it off
"This borders on child abuse"! Greatest line ever!
Come into the state of Texas and run the flagship school out of the stands by halftime. That's gangsta!
Thats Miami
Texas was terrible in those days. Oklahoma shut them down in the Cotton Bowl almost every year. Texas fans have no heart, unless they're winning. Much like Miami.
Well, to be fair thats not exactly hard to do anymore
Say what you want to say about Miami, call them thugs all you want. Miami showed up to play and Texas didn't . This was an old fashion ass kicking. If I recall the 2 teams had a BBQ days before and the Texas players started a fight with Miami.
And, Miami obviously finished the fight, on the field!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Miami needs to build back better lol 🤣
Both teams were dumb as hell. Who announces they will play man exclusively against a pass happy team with speed? "Real men play man" they said. I wish texas would do this every year in the cotton bowl, itd be a nice easy win, running like 60 crossing patterns.
This game was not NEARLY as close as the score. If not for 202 penalty yards against the U, the score could have been 80+ points.
It was of one of the most refreshing pummelings I've seen and quite enjoyable.
I had to listen to the game on the radio at work and everytime I got a chance I would check the score.. And everytime I checked the score, Miami had scored again.. The board eliminated Miami from the opportunity to win the title that year, so Miami was out to show them who was really the best.
I think they did...
Texas probably bribed the ref to keep it under triple digits!
Texas helped miami more than the refs hurt them. Who the hell commits to running straight man defense the entire game before it even starts? They did so openly. So incredibly stupid it makes me think any team with a good qb and wrs wouldve messed them up. Both teams were arrogant, but texas was just stupid.
@@johnl5350 The difference is that Miami could back it up. Texas, not so much
I was deployed to Desert Shield when I heard the score I was in shock.I saw the highlights later on what an impressive performance
This stuff would never fly in today's NCAA but boy was it fun to watch.
The college football of the 80s and 90s make today's college football look like 7 years old playing flag football
Testing, testing, is this thing on... I pray that you are watching this Coach Manny Diaz. We NEED to be 'the team to beat again'. Move us forward... The 🙌
Sorry, bud...Manny isn’t the guy.
The Miami Hurricanes were the greatest thing to ever happen to college football.
Totally agree with you 👍 💯
That was a shellacking. Damn. 21 years later and I still feel bad for the Texas players. That is the kind of loss that eats deep into your soul.
They still feeling it to this day.
So is the 03 team what the Sooners did to them.
It’s been 30 years now. Do you still feel bad for the Texas players?
I don't feel bad for them. wait till they play with real boys in the SEC...
I love Miami football, thanks for the great game. The U put a whooping on those Longhorns
These great Miami teams from 1987-94 had so much talent but often had trouble focusing on opponents and would lose or have close calls against teams that had no business being on the same field with them. But when they were laser-focused on an opponent like they were here there was not a team in the country that could hang with them.
I'd say up until 90. Those other teams after 91 weren't quite the same in terms of overall talent, and really overachieved for the most part.
@@TheWakeup011 Wasn’t it in 2004 Miami had SIX 1st rounders? I’d say that’s very talented considering it’s still a record.
@@miamivlad what does that have to do with anything? The op didn't mention the early 2000 Miami teams.
@@miamivlad try looking at the 2001-2 team first rounders. Alot more than 6!
Robert Bailey set the tone for this game. Man what a smack on the opening kickoff
Don't you wish there was a four-team playoff that year? Robert Bailey just leveled Samuels, and proceeded to be dominant on Texas's first drive.
As a Notre Dame fan, we needed Miami to win this game to knock Texas out of the picture.
But I felt sick having to cheer for them.
This, is an example of boys against men. And Miami was the 100% full-blooded genuine men!
Hey Matt, you are right. It is all about the U that Dade County, Opa-Locka, Carol City. The best athletes in the country come out of our city. 4 ever 305!!!!!!
When miami started they 1st drive & it was 1st & 45 & scored a touchdown it was going to be a long day for texas be glad it wasn't 76-3
The announcers has me rolling. "This is bordering on child abuse " 🤣
Back before the cancer-zebras ejected a defensive player for doing his job (instilling fear into an opponent). It's beautiful, and I miss the way football is supposed to be played. Like this.
Im guessing this basic misunderstanding of what football is explains why the U sucks the D now.
You can blame old football players suing the NFL for that.
A team give you 200 yards worth penalties and you lose by 43 points? Golf clap Longhorns, golf clap.
Randal Hill running through that tunnel brings back so many memories
I love my Longhorns, but they brought this beating on themselves. Some of the Texas players were talking smack about Miami before the game, NOT a good idea. I'm no Miami fan, but hopefully my Horns learned a lesson.
U tryin to say yall were better than us, because if u are than u must be high

Yup
Absolute SAVAGES....it really is ALL ABOUT THE U!!!! I wish there was a highlight montage that included all the penalties.

Robert Bailey's declaration, with a helmet crunch to remember

This is back when swag wasn't just a word but the way you played. These are the guys that made Miami "The U"!
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was on that Miami team (riding the bench)
This is the most thorough ass-kicking I've seen in a long time. Why did Texas even show up?
They didn’t
Was one of the biggest mismatches in Bowl history
Da just kicked ass and they invented swagger. America wasn't ready guys like that kicking ass and taking names. Most of those guys played in the NFL Da U

Russel freaking Maryland. Holy shit.
Not highly recruited coming in and goes out one of the best DTs in the history of college football.
Rules were changed because of the U .. loved those teams especially Jimmy Johnson teams Butch Davis teams ...

They beat the brakes off Texas. 😂
This is the greatest game in football history.
Its hands down the most dominant performance in college bowl history.

The microphone really picked up Robert Bailey leveling Chris Samuels at the 1:29 mark.
Jim Nantz got this right in the third quarter when he called it 'child abuse'.
Unbelievable performance by Miami.
Ken Machek a.. Whipping
robert bailey hit my fav
I never get tired of watching this game ...
Man I wish I was alive in the 80's to see this team dominate like they did
Love it man I'm from Texas and this was made kids from here go to Miami like armstead and Kevin williams

Boy Texas didn’t want nomore after this. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The hit by Beetle Bailey on the kickoff set the stage for one of the biggest ass kickings on New Year's Day Bowl history.
That Opening KIckoff SMACK was an omen to things to come.
Legend has it, Randall Hill is still running after the TD catch..😂
We were so good during this era that our kicker talked trash!!
Did that man have to run off the field after scoring that TD? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙌🏾
From what I remember back in the day they were unstoppable never saw anything else like it
I was there! So cold steam was coming off the turf pregame. The hit by Robert Bailey on the opening KO destroyed UT! Men against boys!

Great matchup between two of the best programs in the country
Dam Miami gave away near 300 yards penalties and still whop that ass at the Longhorns' backyard
l am looking for halftime show footage, i danced in that show!
at 9:44 I just about died, that celebration by Hill.
The commentator as well, just before then, saying this game borders on child abuse. I just about died laughing when I heard that.
The announcer was Jim Nantz
The announcers had several.classic lines during this game!
I LOVE IT. WITH SEVEN DAYS AWAY FROM THE SEASON OPENER, IT'S GREAT TO BE REMINDED OF WHAT THE "U" SHOULD DO THIS YEAR! CO CANES!! DOMINATE!!!
This team should have played for the championship...
They lost @BYU to open the season who at the time was a decent program.Then climbed back into the Top 10 but lost @Notre Dame which pretty ended any hope of a repeat
Ted Curry they we're so dominating
Had the CFP been around back then they might have
@@richardlorith8256 and they would have won
Guess they wasn't good enuff to play for a championship lol
Thank you soo much! I've been wanting this game for a while.
Best game as a Hurricane fan...we deserved to be in the championship game that yeae
Miami won this game 46 -3 a homecoming for Jessie Armistead
Also for Kevin Williams he went to Roosevelt.
Facts I love that swag most black kids from Texas loved the U not UT
30 for 30 brought me here!!!!
From 88-91, the four best programs were, Miami, FSU, NOTRE DAME, Penn state. They were at a level that other teams couldn’t compete with. Just like today, where it’s pretty much Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State and maybe Georgia. As you can definitely see in this clip. And this was an off year for Miami who ended up 10-2 that year.
1:26 best part
OOOOOHHHH!!!! #23 of Texas, you got knocked the FUCK OUT!!!! 🤣😂🤣😂
The reason they came out so brutal is because they got beat out of going to the national championship game which Miami would of most likely won
I don't think there is ever going to be two starters on the defensive line as good as Russell Maryland and Cortez Kennedy on the same time!!
Cortez Kennedy wasn’t with the Canes during this game. He had just finished his NFL rookie season with Seattle when this game was played.
This wasn't a game...more like a wake. C4L.
Absolutely fucking amazing!

why were you even watching this? i feel like this is a game most longhorn fans would like to forget about.
I love how that receiver @7:26 tried to make his case. lol I laughed at that hard
Also this a classic "talk smack, play like shit"
I love how John Dockery says Miami’s behavior that week was perfect. Then the game starts 😂😂😂
Best Miami hurricane team ever
Best ever!!!!!!!
This is one of the three seasons Miami got robbed out of getting a championship we should have 8 trophies instead of five
Man the U was crazy back then man I’m talking about the opening kick return dude got smack 😳😂😂😂😂 The U wasn’t playing with Texas 🤦🏾♂️
Love my boys
swaggin soo hard
This was as big an ass whipping as can possibly be given. If they hadn't acted the fool with all the penalties, the score would have been 75-0. We were flat out Pirates that day and Texas had no clue what they were in for. In their own stadium. Flat out old school ass kicking.
I miss the days when you could celebrate a nice play or TD.
“Come back, Randall!”
2024 - Miami is BACK!!!
Miami was CLEARLY the best team in the country at the end of the season, too bad they couldn’t have played the 5th down, luckiest team in the country cu buff-a-holes, they would have beat their ass worse than they did Texass!
Less goo 🔥 hopefully the canes can keep a good record this season
Texas later sent Miami a thank you note to thank them for allowing Texas to score a field goal and avoid the humiliation of a shutout. :)
