Vinny’s stinker in the 1987 Fiesta Bowl, Cleveland Gary’s non-fumble at Notre Dame in 1988, the BCS screw job in 2000, and the flag from hell in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl are all heartbreakers for Miami fans. Similarly, the Canes missed out on some National Championship hardware over the years. Damages? I have legitimately never heard of that show. THE WIRE SEASON 1 SERIESJust for fun, I looked up some of the shows that were nominated for Outstanding Drama Series during The Wire’s run and there were some big-time stinkers: Joan of Arcadia, CBS 2004, Boston Legal, ABC 2007, Heroes, NBC 2007, and Damages, FX 2008. Not one Outstanding Drama Series nomination? Give me a break. The Wire was only nominated for two Primetime Emmys during its run: Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series in 2005 (season three) and 2008 (season five). As I’ve said before, I promise I have fulfilling personal and social lives.Īnother strong similarity between The U and The Wire is the under appreciation by the folks who give out awards. Plus, I have an irrational love for both things. They both have iconic characters that continue to live on - people that achieved greatness in the pros/on other shows or movies - and the synergy of the five Miami National Championships and the five seasons of The Wire makes them a perfect match. It only makes sense to compare the greatest college football program of all time with the greatest television drama of all time. Miami Hurricanes football and the HBO show The Wire.
