You think what Ventre wrote was garbage, I lived in Miami Beach back then, and the Herald and Sun Sentinel were basically house organs for the U, with columnists almost as obnoxious as the Canes. I watched the game with my family in Prattville, then hurried back to Miami the next day to read the Jan 2 edition of the Herald my friend bought for me. Reading the disbelieving and shell-shocked coverage in that paper was almost as enjoyable as the game itself. I've still got that paper, with a cover photo of a demoralized Torretta sitting on his can on the field, in storage somewhere.
