The Miami Hurricanes are back big time

My Who's Back of the Week, first of all, is a no-brainer. It's the U. The U's back big time.

Miami went 10-3 and lost the Orange Bowl; they were briefly relevant but haven't sustained it since.

The Aaron Judge slump is caused by participating in the Home Run Derby

The Aaron Judge, did he fuck up his swing, is fully back. He's like one for 14 right now. I think we called that before the home run derby even started, right?

Judge had a notable slump in August 2017 after the Derby, though he finished the season strong. The 'Home Run Derby Curse' is a common but debated theory.

High school football is officially back in June because grad parties are over

High school football is back. Grad parties are over. Coaches are distributing helmets and shoulder pads. It's June. Mini camps in full effect.

While summer workouts happen, high school football doesn't truly return until late August.

Donald Trump will legalize sports gambling to improve his approval ratings

I could see Trump legalizing sports gambling. I could, too. He's a casino guy... He could flip that approval rating up to, like, the 60s if he just said, okay, we're going to be sports gaming.

PASPA was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2018 during Trump's term, but it wasn't a direct executive legalization by him, though he didn't oppose the trend.

The Miami Hurricanes are officially 'back'

The U is back. Of Miami. Okay. The U is back. They have three huge wins against Florida A&M, Florida Atlantic, and Appalachian State. So 3-0 to start the season. I think they're definitely back.

Miami finished the season 9-4. While a good season, it didn't signal a return to their championship-level glory days.

Wisconsin is the mediocre pushover neighbor of college football

Wisconsin's never back. They're never gone. They're just there. We literally are just like the neighbor who you can be like, hey, can I borrow your lawnmower and just not give it back for three months? And you know he's never going to come ask. It's a total pushover.

Wisconsin finished 11-3 and won the Cotton Bowl in 2016, which is actually one of their better seasons, slightly contradicting the 'mediocre' label.
