They went there!

One of the most memorable things about Miami’s run to the College Football Playoff national championship game has been Michael Irvin. He has been at every game and is going nuts on the sidelines.

Unfortunately, his behavior tends to ruin good shots for cameramen along the sidelines. Such was the case earlier this month at the Fiesta Bowl. Videos showing him celebrating victories have been a trademark of the Hurricanes’ College Football Playoff run.

Carson Beck scored the game-winning touchdown on a 3-yard scramble with 18 seconds left in the CFP Semifinal Fiesta Bowl. Michael Irvin positioned himself in the perfect spot to see it. As Beck ran towards the end zone, Irvin moved from his position behind the cameramen. He unfortunately stood right in front of them to celebrate and took their perfect shot away.

Irvin has been such a ball of energy that even SNL had to spoof him. SNL’s Weekend Update focused on the Cowboys icon’s sideline celebrations.

With the Miami Hurricanes playing in the College Football Playoff National Championship, expect to see plenty of Michael Irvin. His face will be seen, and his voice will be heard. Well, the Miami alum and Cowboys icon got a head start on the hype Saturday night.

Saturday Night Live cast member Kam Patterson had the perfect spot-on spoof of the three-time Super Bowl winner. It came during a “Weekend Update” cameo alongside anchor Michael Che.

Miami’s back was against the wall. They will certainly need the good vibes from Michael Irvin in order to defeat Indiana. The Miami Hurricanes will face the winner of No. 1 Indiana and No. 5 Oregon on Jan. 19. It will be in their own backyard at Hard Rock Stadium.

The Hoosiers are 8.5-point favorites, per CBS Sports.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
