The Miami Hurricanes are back in the college football national championship game for the first time since 2003, with their last title coming in 2001, and the party in the parking lot is underway at Hard Rock Stadium.
"With all this, all the recruits going to want to come and we're going to be back to the old days. I truly believe we're going to be back to the old days," said 42-year season ticket holder Luis Aguiar as he is roasting a pig and outside the stadium. The Championship Tailgate features games and performances including Pitbull.
The Canes, who barely made the College Football Playoff, are underdogs by slightly more than a touchdown to the top seeded Indiana Hoosiers.
