FIU is going bowling for the first time in years and Willie does it in YEAR ONE. 😤🐾 In this Thanksgiving special, we break down how the Panthers flipped the culture, stacked statement wins, and why this run feels different for FIU fans.

We accidentally left the cameras rolling and captured the realest Tranquilo Sports Talk yet 😂 From a wild, ugly-but-beautiful dub in Madrid to the Miami Dolphins officially popping back up on the “In The Hunt” graphic, we’re breaking down exactly what it’ll take to sneak into the AFC playoffs.

Victory Tuesday hits different when it’s Buffalo. In this Tranquilo Sports Talk episode, we break down the Miami Dolphins’ statement win over the Bills, the post-Grier vibe shift, and why the locker room energy around Mike McDaniel feels real.

NBA vet Greivis Vasquez joins Tranquilo Sports Talk for a hoop-lover’s episode on all things Miami Heat—from Pat Riley’s culture to Erik Spoelstra’s coaching mastery and why Miami’s pace-and-space identity is cooking right now.

In this Episode, we breakdown the latest performance by Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins that have us believing again. We also get into what was a chaotic college football slate this past weekend and the latest in the coaching carousel!

We’re flipping the script and punting the Miami Dolphins to the end—they haven’t earned lead-off status. First up: college football chaos—Louisville’s gut-punch vs the Miami Hurricanes, what it means for rankings, and why the cushion is gone. Then FIU’s statement win at WKU and Vice Night vs. Kennesaw State preview. Finally, our shortest (and spiciest) Dolphins segment yet: accountability, who should go, and what fixes actually matter.

It was a rough football weekend in South Florida. We unpack the Miami Dolphins’ latest collapse (and what’s actually fixable), FIU’s two-week slide and QB questions, and the FSU–Miami showdown—from game plan to late “fake comeback” debate.

It’s Hate Week. Former Miami Hurricane Hain Gonzalez—member of the early-2000s title squad and the voice behind the “Dominate” rallying cry—breaks down UM vs FSU, why Mario Cristobal’s culture is working, and how winning the trenches (OL/DL) redefines Canes football. We hit mindset, accountability, road-game noise, WRs blocking, a rejuvenated defense under new leadership, and Hain’s keys: protect the ball, control the line, keep the QB in the pocket, and execute every drive. Plus his score pick (42–10), favorite rivalry memory, and one legend he’d teleport onto this roster.Chapters0:00 Cold open: growth disguised as failure0:31 Intro — UM vs FSU Rivalry Week special1:04 What the rivalry feels like as a player2:20 Butch’s “war chant” week & mindset setting3:16 “Dominate” origins & leadership standard5:45 Culture → trenches: OL/DL identity7:06 Accountability, effort, and WRs finishing blocks8:20 Defense flying to the ball; violent, fast, smart9:35 Road environments, silent counts, communication11:05 Keys to beating FSU: control LOS, contain QB, no giveaways12:40 Playing as the hunted; block out the noise14:10 Hain’s pick: 42–10; favorite UM–FSU memory15:30 One alum he’d add to this roster16:20 Sponsor shout: Cosmo Tires (Eye of the Tiger)#FSU #GoNoles #CollegeFootball #FloridaFootball #FSUvsMiami #TranquiloSports #UMvsFSU #rivalrygame #gocanes #miamihurricanesfootball

We’re in Tallahassee for a rivalry-week special with Florida State Wide Receivers Coach Tim Harris Jr.—a Miami native “born into the game,” son of legendary coach Ice Harris. Coach Harris walks us through his rise from Booker T. Washington (state titles, national No. 1), to FIU, UCF (OC/play caller), a stop at Miami, and now his move to FSU under Mike Norvell. We get into Florida high-school football culture, individualized player development, staying consistent, and why the people make Florida State special. Plus: what this week means in the FSU–Miami rivalry and the “Florida brotherhood” you see when the clock hits 0:00.Timestamps0:00 Intro (Tally vibes + rivalry week)1:00 Miami roots & being “born into it”5:10 Booker T. run: OC → HC, state titles, national No. 17:45 FIU years & growth into college coaching8:45 UCF with Gus Malzahn (RB/Co-OC)10:30 Year at Miami (RB) → back to UCF OC & play-calling13:30 The call to FSU + working with Coach Norvell16:45 Florida HS football: speed, competitiveness, O-line evolution19:05 Coaching philosophy: consistency, teaching each player differently23:00 What makes FSU special (people > buildings)25:30 FSU–Miami: history, energy, why it still hits different#FSU #GoNoles #CollegeFootball #TimHarrisJr #Recruiting #FloridaFootball #FSUvsMiami #TranquiloSports #MiamiHurricanes #UM #Gameday #CollegeFootball #FloridaFootball

It’s a must-win Monday night at Hard Rock Stadium as Miami hosts New York. We break down what has to change: play black-and-white football, commit to the north-south run game, keep it clean (no gifts, no flags), and finally get pressure without leaving the secondary on islands. We also talk momentum from the Buffalo fight, what a “clean four quarters” looks like, and how this MNF result sets up a winnable stretch.Topics & Timestamps0:00 Cold open + the “grab the plank” metaphor1:05 Why this is a true must-win3:10 Buffalo takeaways: one play from flipping it5:45 Defense: pressure rate vs. blitz rate problem8:20 Offense: cut the cute stuff—run it between the tackles11:00 Tua’s mandate: a clean, turnover-free game13:30 Special teams & penalty discipline = hidden points16:20 OL shuffles and handling a strong Jets front18:45 The next 5 games and a path back to .50021:30 Uniform juju + final score predictionsScore Predictions• 17–10 Miami• 23–20 Miami (late game-winner)Drop your score in the comments and tell us your one key to a Dolphins win.

We unpack the Dolphins’ Week 1 disaster in Indy—the worst loss we’ve sat through in years. No sugarcoating: Tua looked lost, the OL fell apart, the front seven vanished, and the vibes were DOA. We talk Mike McDaniel’s hot seat, Chris Grier accountability, scheme stubbornness, injuries piling up, and what has to change before the home opener vs the Patriots.
