UNC Football Opponent Preview: A nationally-televised ‘Turnover Chain’ infomercial in Miami

If there’s a more annoying combination of storylines (annual “The U is Back!” hit pieces) and alumni talking about their school (Michael Irvin, Warren Sapp, etc., etc.), in college football than the University of Miami, please let me know what I’m missing.

In 2017, secondary coach Mike Rumph instituted the “Turnover Chain” and somehow made all things Miami all the more insufferable...despite being helmed by nice guy Mark Richt.

Note: as with all things ESPN, the trope had played itself out by the time they latched onto it— a non-scientific count on the uses of the phrase “t******* c****” in an ACC Championship drinking game I created was stopped when I was rendered drunk by the 10-minute mark of the first quarter.
