Michael Irvin says Friday Night Resembled the Old Orange Bowl Days

Today at 11:26 AM 2 min read

Former Hurricane great, The Playmaker, Michael Irvin appears multiple times a week as NFL analyst on the ultra popular YouTube sports show, It Is What It Is featuring late 90's early 2000's hip hop moguls, Cam'ron and Ma$e.

This morning before diving into their weekly NFL takes, they spent 8 plus minutes on the Miami vs Virginia Tech game. Some of Irvin's most notable quotes are below:

Michael Irvin on the energy at the game -
"The energy was incredible and it was really electrifying. We have been talking about trying to create that again, that old Orange Bowl scene at Hard Rock Stadium. I promise you that was as close as we have ever gotten in all of these years trying to recreate that thing that we had before."

Michael Irvin on the winning mentality -
"Right here, right now, you must make the decision on how you're going to live the rest of your life. Are you going to be a winner or are you always going to come up short? If you say. 'No way I am losing this game,' you are saying, 'No way I am going to lose in life.'"

Michael Irvin on former players talking Canes-
"We always talk about it at Miami, always talk about family, always talk about all of us are always available to try and help the other dudes."

The entire 8:00 video of Michael Irvin and the show talking about the Canes 38-34 win over Virginia Tech is here.

I was there it was the best game environment since the comeback in 2003. The Bandy pick was every bit as rowdy as Hester’s KO return TD to open that game in 03

I was there too. It was electric.

that's a bad google translate, meng?

doesn't meet @Empirical Cane ASTM standards. amirite?

It's not a google translate; straight BDDaddy translate. I'm a guerro practicing Spanish for 35 years. About 25 in Miami and the rest in LA. There are some real differences in Miami Cuban Spanish meng versus LA Mexican spanish vato. Por ejemplo, aqui los mexicanos dicen pan con verga, pero en miami es pan con pinga. I work with loads of Mexicans who've taught me about 45 different ways to say ******** (ever heard of chiquis striquis?) but 0 ways say other, more refined things. As a result, my white boy brain sometimes gets stuck between black beans and rice and pinto beans with rice.
If you're offended, I'm not apologizing because I was making fun of myself, not anyone of Latin descent. Plus I think you're smart enough to pick up what I'm putting down.

2017 VT was insane, I was there for that one ..and by all accounts the ND game was even more intense

I was at both. I have never seen anything at HRS (before or since) like the ND game. The VT game felt like a ****tail crowd in comparison.

The entire crowd STOOD from one hour before kickoff until at least halftime. When the announced Ed as the honorary captain, you couldn't even hear the PA BEFORE kickoff. The second half was like the after party. It was absolutely insane and a surreal experience. It felt like the ghosts of the Orange Bowl came back that night. We could have that atmosphere this year, but unfortunately even if we are undefeated, we don't play anybody exciting.

Irvin is a character and there is NO WAY IN **** the energy in that stadium was anywhere close to the OB. What a total exaggeration on his part!

When you can feel HRS moving and jumping, and you’ve stepped in ****, it will have reached OB status.

I was at the ND game at the the Hard Rock Stadium and there was no where near 30% of the crowd was rooting for ND. Lucky if it was 10%. The stadium was loud but nearly as loud as the UM vs ND in 1989. That was a barn burner classic and the crowd was ELECTRIC!

There will be no recreating the OB until Hard Rock installs trough-style urinals, snorting sounds from the one (and only one) stall in the restroom, removes all air conditioning, moves the seats significantly closer to the field, allows Cuban immigrants to sell gato en palo in the parking lots and reconstructs The Orange Bowl Bar complete with all the Mos Eisley creatures inside and removes the seats on the east side of the stadium so that we can see the downtown skyline..

There was a bar? What was that like?
