That fact the DJ Williams is out there catching TDs,actually got drafted as LB in the first round tells you how good and deep this team was

Should’ve won 3 back to back to back national championships if it weren’t for the everyone hating the U

College football was so much better when Florida, FSU, and Miami were all good every year.

Used to love hearing musburger call these classic games. I literally saw every Miami game from 1983 to now. Over 35 years of loving my team, been thru the sanctions & all the championships. Go Canes!

Butch's teams were just getting into their championship groove. They deserved to be playing for the title in this game. Loved it!

the 2001 miami team may have been the best college football team ever.

It’s still a travesty that that Miami team didn’t get a National title, it should have been 3 in a row and who knows what the rest of the decade would have looked liked.

This team would of crushed OU. I forgot about Sebastian running out to celebrate the TD. That was great.

Dan Morgan was unreal

"He & Jared Payton next year or gonna be a tremendous duo at tailback" .. Frank Gore, Willis McGahee: "uh hold my Gatorade"

Who would have thought....that the replacement for Kenny Dorsey was coming from the Gator sideline!

Its awesome watching this now and seeing all the superstars that came out of this team, reed wayne, moss, shockey, portis, even lb DJ Williams playing some offense.

When have to be the only school tht has been robbed the most I'm NCAA history

The loss in Seattle killed it for Miami

These videos make me kinda sad. I miss seeing the 'canes at the top playing and winning in these big bowl games. I hope the 'canes get back in the national title race and play in big bowl games this year.

I was at this game & it was lit in New Orleans. Got Shockeys gloves that he wore during the game. Unreal couple of days.

Testing, testing, is this thing on... I pray that you are watching this Coach Manny. We NEED to be 'the team to beat again'. Move us forward... The 🙌

so many pros on this team! Go Canes! Coming from a Washington Husky. []_[]

Wow, was this team loaded. Thanks Butch.

Wow. I was in middle school when we had the snub - championship - pass interference and now that I look at it Ken Dorsey had kind of a crappy arm slot and less than stellar ability. I guess it was Santana Moss, Andre Johnson, and Reggie Wayne doing all the work. I remember seeing the ball go sky high, the camera panning, and Santana being right under it.

Miami has more national championships. Miami leads the series against Florida. Miami has had more all-americans. In the last 10 years Miami has declined and by no coincidence Florida got better b/c they recruited players that normally would go to Miami.

Future Pro Bowlers and Hall of Famers in this game. Oh and Florida played in this game, too.

I can't believe you left out a replay of the Ibis getting a personal foul! One of my favorite parts, and one of the most famous. Nice work though. Very fun.

@canefreak2001 And while you're at it, the 2002 UF game is nowhere to be found but it was easily the most dominant UF beatdown we've had. Willis' highlights alone are worth watching. Thanks as always bro'.

Speed all over the place damn Go Canes!!

I don't understand why that 30 for 30 special on Miami spoke critically of Butch Davis; I actually think he was a great coach who assembled the team that won the 2001 title, and almost won the 2002 title. Larry Coker just rode the momemtum that Davis started.

Reed, Moss, Shockey, Wayne, Morgan, Portis, 1/2 the O-Line, and several others: still in the NFL. Where's Grossman now?

Imagine if 2000 Miami played 2001 Miami I’m really not sure which squad was better.

Edgerian James 1999,James Jackson 2000,Clinton Portis 2001,Willis McGahee 2002,Jarrett Payton 2003,Frank Gore 2004 they just keep producing quality RBs year after year

From 2000 - 2004 Miami was 5-0 vs Florida State and 4-0 vs Florida.... We need to get back to owning our little brothers again.

Big time players make big time plays in big time games#go🙌🏿🙌🏿

BEST VID OF THE WEEK!! thank you for bring back these ole so good memories... im about to fix another drink and watch this video 100 times..... GO CANES!!

this team was soo deep that DJ Williams, who was a 1st rnd draft pick at OLB, was playing TE and caught a TD pass. C-A-N-E-S-CANES!

Good to see you have calmed down. I do enjoy sharing ideas, opinions and facts about college football and especially Florida college football. Have a great day!

...and Jeremy Shockey. It really is amazing to hear all these NFL names.

The best team in college football won this game. Miami is the true 2000 National Champion. They woulda wiped their ass with Oklahoma. It's a joke.

Brent was legendary in calling these games

We all have our opinions. I'm married with a great wife and 2 kids. I own my own business, I'm active in my church, a 6 handicap golfer, I go to the gym 3x a week, I have coached most of my kids youth sports, I have a great group of friends and enjoy nice vacations with the family a couple times a year. If that is a loser then that is what I am, lol. I earned 10 varsity letters in high school in 4 sports and I played college ball. I have a college degree as well. You just got owned.

@ellisd53562 Yes, that exactly happened. Butch Davis was furious at Sebastian and the extra point was like 50 yards or so, it was crazy. Most of my family is from Wisconson too! Well, your prediction was right! Thanks for checking out the vid

The AP should’ve given Miami the National Championship this year!

Yes, you are right....UM fans living in the NOW are saying...I hope we become relevant again because we haven't been very good for a long time.

I'm pretty damn confident they'd have generated a little more offense than what FSU had to offer even with Weinke at the helm.

FINALLY!! I couldn't even find pics of this game on google. THANKS!

The reason it's a bad thing is that Cane fans are not saying "i hope we can get back to being good again"....they are saying..."we got 5 rings.....we are the U" which is idiotic.

Miami lost to Washington in 2000 that basically ruined their chances at a national title that year. Washington was the deserving party that year, they beat Miami head to head but the BCS computers snubbed them.

@churchshoes2003 I know!! We should have so many more nat. titles than 5. Sorry, but I only make the highlights of the games and I already gave the game back from where I got it from. Go Canes!

Calm down. I respect all of Miami's past success and it's rich history including all the great NFL players. I don't care much for the typical Miami fan. I will continue to support the Canes.

"I think we should be national champions." - Butch Davis Damn right you were that year. Fuck the computers.

The FSU Um games need to be played like in the 90's and early 00's.

yeah you're right.. i don't know why i didn't think of that before.

I won't even lie.. ..I miss Butch Davis and his services. He took us from absolute garbage back to something serious. These insanely talented recruits came even with the program under probation and sanctions. I love Randy, but if we still had Butch.. Just look what he's assembled in regards to defense at UNC..granted they're getting caught up in some nasty stuff.. but still.

They would've beaten OU in that title game. Instead Florida State got the biased decision and got rolled.

Yo, do you must have a vault of all the best games. I've got the 1999 Miami vs Ohio State kick off classic that I'm thinking about editing and uploading. Thanks for sharing.

This game shoukd've been a blowout. Coker's playcalling was great until he got inside the 20. Then he ran out of ideas and we had to kick all those damn FGs. This 2000 team just may have been better than the 2001. Maybe. They were playing harder and sharper.

wow , i didn't even know moss and wayne were on that team . the U were deep my goodness.we need a playoff system in college football.

Two NFL Hall of FAMERS on THIS TEAM 1.Reggie Wayne 2. Ed Reed Next years 2002 team will have 4 1. Ed Reed 2.Frank Gore 3. Vince Wilfork 4. Andre Johnson

@vic9399 That is true, maybe Ill will think about that in the future.

Every team that has won a National Championship most likely has it posted somewhere... in the stadium, around the school... Miami isn't the only team that does this. Everyone does it.

That team is stacked

How in the heck did Sebastion walk into the endzone like that in Miami's last TD lol

Florida was young that year and if they didn't hiccup against Tenn there would have been a rematch in the 2001 National Title and there would have been a real game

Those Miami teams were full of future NFL pro bowlers.

I TOTALLY AGREE!!!

@CaneFan423 Here is a little research on SOS(strength of schedule) Typically Florida has the tougher SOS every year...here is the last 4 years: 2011-UF (19) UM (44), 2010-UF (14), UM (13), 2009-UF (27) UM (18), 2008-UF (4) UM (44). Florida's highest lowest ranking is 27 and Miami 's is 44(2X). If you look at it historically the Gators have a tougher schedule than Miami virtually every year. Would love to switch conferences for a year and see how Miami does in the SEC.....Hope this is sinking in.

Dorsey laid an egg in the 1st half...still young.

Imagine having a wideout as good as Santana Moss graduate and then replacing him with Andre Johnson..

Absolutely!

I agree but we are moving forward.

davenport had such a beast facemask. its the same one natrone means wore when he played for the chargers.

@xchargerOUx You can't seriously be comparing what FSU did against Miami in 2000 to what they couldn't do against Oklahoma in 2000. MiamiVsFSU games are on an entirely different level, regardless of how bad or how good either team is. One of them falls off and yet pulls off an upset, the other falls off and gets crushed, etc. During the early 2000's, BOTH teams understood what it meant to play for their respected schools and understood what it meant to play against each other.

@knightguy11 About this reply to my comment about the schedules... I meant to say the upcoming season. I didn't mean to say for the past few years. We are playing Notre Dame in the regular season this year. Those were the teams that Florida, UCF, and Miami have scheduled for this upcoming season if you noticed.

@LatinG187 Thanks alot. Me too, it was an awesome game

Love those Canes but they need to get back to being a major power. Since 2003 they have been a second rate program. Third rate in the state of Florida (behind UF & FSU). The good news is that the potential for them to be great is still there. They just need someone to help them tap into it. Hopefully Al Golden is the man. Davis, along with Schnellenberger and Johnson were each the "man". Coker and Shannon were fine decent men but seemed ill suited for the job they were given.

@CaneFan423 You do realize that the ACC has 4 small private Universities, Miami, Duke, Boston College and tiny Wake Forest. Wake Forest won the conference in football a couple of years ago....they have like 7,500 students. I will continue to educate.

Alive and well......life is good! Have a great day!

LOVE THIS.......

najeh davenport looked like a tank in this game.

@marloweAUT haha thanks man, glad u enjoyed!

I know, but that show spoke negatively about Davis, when I actually think he did a good job

Butch Davis put the pieces together, but Coker was his offensive coordinator

We all have our opinions don't we. Thanks for sharing.

Canes could of won 4 BCS bowls in these 4 years with these kids....

@knightguy11 My honest opinion. If we had the Gators schedule last year, Miami would have had a record of 7-5 (regular season). If we had Alabama's schedule we would have went 9-3 in the regular season. How I think the games would turn out if Miami had Bama's schedule. Kent State - W Penn State - L North Texas - W Arkansas - L Florida - W Vanderbilt - W Ole Miss - W Tennessee - W LSU - L Miss. State - W Georgia Southern - W Auburn - W 9 wins, 3 losses. How do you think Miami would have done?

The 2000 and 2001 teams didn't have All-Americans. They had All-Pros.

THE BEST. TO DAMN BAD THIS TEAM COULDN'T PLAY BAMA NOW. GREAT VIDEO

Playoff system doesn't help the Canes going 7-5 every year, lol. FYI: we have a playoff system in 2014.

@knightguy11 On top of that, our biggest loss of the season was to Maryland 32-24 (8 points). The game was actually closer than that if you watched it. Kansas State, we were 1 yard away from winning. VT was a hard fought game, we just came out on the losing end by only 3 points. I didn't see the Virginia game so I won't comment on that. The FSU game we didn't play well. Threw a pick in the red zone and played bad on special teams. Didn't see BC game either.

Ncaaal always against us..we are the true 3 peat champs

@cavaleer They did have santana and reggie and dan morgan which the 01 team did not have, but i still think the 01 team was a little bit more experienced.

Not sure what the Alabama tree poison guy has to do with me, lol....that's a good one. I'm done debating any "imaginary" all star game that can never be played. FYI; my brother was recruited by Howard Schnellenberger and we got 2 tickets to every home game in 1981. So at 15 I was sitting in the recruit section at the Orange Bowl for every home game. I've been a Cane fan before you were born. The fact that I "tell it like it is" and I don't like UM fans like you is called honesty.

the U should of made a t shirt in 2001 like USC did in 2003...the C is silent in bcs...

Dan the Man!

yall out yall mind miami woulda spanked ou they lucky they played fsu...they only had 13pts against them n fsu played without snoop minnis might i iadd...mia had the greatest players on one team from 2000-2003 hands down the numbers dont lie check the draft as well ou got lucky n they know it mia shoulda been champs 3yrs str8

@CaneFan423 That is a fact(Miami is a small school that has won NC's)....kind of like Notre Dame(small/private). Lots of small private schools do well in college athletics. Look at Duke in Basketball. I'm rooting for UM to be back in National contention. Its been quite some time since they were relevant.

@iheartwicked0707 What you don't understand is that although Florida "holds" the War Canoe trophy...it is on permanant display at UM since the annual rivalry ended in 1987. Do a little research. I'm sure you realize that UF won the last meeting in 2008 by a 26-3 margin. Hence they are the "holder" of the War Canoe Trophy. Good day!

@sotathug941 Haha thank u so much my friend!! Glad u enjoying it!

One of the reasons Barry Switzer still to this day hates Jimmy Johnson

@iheartwicked0707 That is your opinion and you are entitled to it. Many people think bowl wins that are not "Major" bowls are worthless. At least that is what some of my UM buddies tell me when I mention that UM is 1-4 in its last 5 bowl games. Anyway.....yes I think the more recent the win the stronger the win.......2008>2004. Just sayin.

This team got f'd out of a chip man, that chip fswho got is ours. Got f'd out of another w notre dame and Jimmy. Then Vinny having that day in the Fiesta was another. Shyt we should have at least 3 more chips. By this time this team was dialed in, fla in a no win situation here, plus lost the street fight the night before. The next year, is the greatest team ever assembled, Tommy Frasier's neb, please that wouldn't even be a game

GreAT Miami team, but the 94-97 Nebraska team is still the best no doubt.
