(NewsUSA) - Saying it's been a positive run for The University of Miami would be an understatement. A balder, more brolic Dwayne Johnson recently hoisted the WWE Championship over his shoulders for the first time in a decade. Then, Warren Sapp was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame, Reggie Johnson's tip-in kept Miami undefeated in ACC hoops and five Hurricane alums on the Ravens became world champions while Frank Gore rushed for 110 yards in a losing effort.
Berry Gordy wouldn't offer a music deal to Miami's Seventh Floor Crew, but at its peak, "The U" was akin to college football's Motown Records. Beginning in the '60s Motown's Detroit's blend of blues, funk and pop-soul ruled the airwaves.
