Herald sports columnist Barry Jackson says we got it right:

Some sensitive Hurricanes fans surely will not like the rehashing of the trash-talking, the over-the-top celebrations and the off-field scandals that are chronicled in The U, the two-hour University of Miami football documentary airing at 9 p.m. Dec. 12 on ESPN.

But after watching the film, the view here is that filmmakers and former UM students Billy Corben and Alfred Spellman accurately and colorfully capture the program’s glory years — blemishes and all — and strike the right balance between what made UM so dominant and dynamic, and what made it a target for critics.

The film is an enjoyable trip down memory lane, filled with unforgettable game footage, amusing anecdotes and entertaining interviews with more than 30 people who made the program matter.

Corben and Spellman focused mostly on 1983 to 1991 — when UM won four of its five national titles — and allocated only a few minutes to what has happened since. In retrospect, it would have been a good idea if the filmmakers quickly touched on the past few seasons and acknowledged the players’ exemplary conduct in recent years (just one known arrest — Robert Marve — in Randy Shannon’s three years in charge).

Remember, this is not a tribute to UM football. A tribute would only gloss over the negative.

But this is more compelling than a tribute because it gives the full picture of how those teams captured a nation’s attention.

 Sid called me at 8AM yesterday morning, having just read Barry Jackson’s article in the Miami Herald (which is the most viewed and commented on article of the day at their website) and asked me to come on his show on 560 WQAM to discuss our differences with the University of Miami.

Here’s the interview:

One highlight occurs at the 17:02 mark when, as an example of how unsophisticated, clunky and not web-savvy the Sports Information and Communications folks are at the University of Miami, I told Sid that the bio of Rick Korch, the school’s former Football Sports Information Director, who was fired in March 2008 after a UM technician discovered child pornography on his work computer, was still online at Hurricane Sports, the “Official Athletic Site of the Miami Hurricanes” (and the 3rd Google result when you search: rick korch miami) 19 months after his arrest and firing!

Here is a screen cap from 12:30PM yesterday (notice, in the upper right hand corner of the page, the countdown to the UM basketball game vs. Florida Gulf Coast today, 11/25):

Here’s what the page looks like now.
