From the producers of Cocaine Cowboys.....

Throughout the 1980s, Miami, Florida, was at the center of a racial and cultural shift taking place throughout the country. Overwhelmed by riots and tensions, Miami was a city in flux, and the University of Miami football team served as a microcosm for this evolution. The image of the predominantly white university was forever changed when coach Howard Schnellenberger scoured some of the toughest ghettos in Florida to recruit mostly black players for his team. With a newly branded swagger, inspired and fueled by the quickly growing local Miami hip hop culture, these Hurricanes took on larger-than-life personalities and won four national titles between 1983 and 1991. Filmmaker Billy Corben, a Miami native and University of Miami alum, will tell the story of how these "Bad Boys" of football changed the attitude of the game they played, and how this serene campus was transformed into "The U."

  • What was the name of the song

  • @MrNoMercy12 Losing five playmakers would devastate any team.

  • @Brolbasaur ok your sort of retarded but that is expected being an ohio state fan...So your telling me your team is 5 guys? hmmm so that means if u had those 5 guys you would win?... and besides a win is a win whether its by one or by 50 so just stop

  • @Domini478 not according to the last game! 24-7

  • @MrNoMercy12 Right, you needed us to have a new interim coach, losing our starting senior quarterback, and four seniors suspended with almost an entirely freshman team to beat us by 15 AT HOME. I think you may just still be bitter about that night in the desert that all but killed your program. But this incoming death penalty will kill it. Enjoy the free abortions while you can get them!

  • @Domini478 thats why THE U beat they ass!

  • THE U!

  • @vegastyphoon Ohio State is better in football than Miami right now.

  • Miami has always been a private school, and is well worth the price of tuition. Playing for a mediocre state college like ohio state or florida state is merely settling for second best. It's a canes thing, you wouldnt understand...

  • black people, I'm out of here
