The 'King of Bling' behind the viral Miami Hurricanes ‘Turnover Chain’

Anthony John Machado, better known as AJ, got the call from Miami cornerbacks coach Mike Rumph roughly two weeks before the Hurricanes’ opener.

. . .

Put on speaker phone while fellow ex-Hurricane Vince Wilfork was in Machado’s Cutler Bay office for an unrelated purchase, Rumph told Machado that defensive coordinator Manny Diaz was looking for a prop to incentivize turnovers forced by his players — similar to what Alabama does with its wrestling belt — and, of course, “to bring the swag back.”

The initial thought was a rope chain that players would get to wear after forcing a turnover. “Naw, man,” chimed in Wilfork, recently retired after a 13-year NFL career. “We got to do the Cuban link, AJ!” The consensus among the three was a collective “Hell yeah!”

If Miami beats FSU in 2 weeks it won't feel right because Francois who lit us up with clutch plays last season isn't going to play.

Sure it will :)

They are a top notch team even without the QB. Also Rosier has had exactly 2 starts so we are in the same boat breaking in a new QB.

That's fair

FSU fans now have a built in excuse.

2021.... who can plan that far ahead? :confused:

Miami Hurricanes cancel game in Arkansas due to Irma. Next stop: Tallahassee

The game reportedly will not be made up at a later time.

Would have been good to have Rosier play an away game in front of a hostile crowd but this is probably the right decision.

Agree... another game under his belt (and the rest of the team) would have been nice. I hope they don't come out flat in Tallahassee.

"How about this, The U still leads the way in the ACC despite the program's lack of recent success. That surprises me. Despite struggling on the field, Miami keeps churning out first-rounders and successful NFL players. It may not be at the same level as it was, but it’s still impressive. And the way Mark Richt is recruiting, it should continue and perhaps improve."
