Michael Irvin had celebration after Miami stunned…
One didn’t need to be a water cooler around Michael Irvin on Wednesday evening.
The Miami alum and NFL Hall of Famer went, as he described it, “Belt to ass” on a poor water cooler draped with what appeared to be Ohio State attire after Miami’s stunning 24-14 upset Wednesday.
Irvin, 59, even cut a WWE-worthy promo like fellow former Hurricane star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson on the inanimate object.
“I told y’all not to come to this stadium,” Irvin said while pointing at the water cooler, which remained silent.
The former star receiver then repeatedly whipped the cooler while saying with a distinct pause between each quip: “Didn’t I, tell y’all, not to, come, to, this, stadium. Don’t. Come. Back. No. More. That’s it, baby.”
Irvin then flashed “The U” brand toward the followers, who roared, and then continued his promo toward the media that gathered around.
“Belt to ass,” Irvin said. “We put belt to ass. We get it every week and we going to keep doing it until we land back home in our stadium for the national championship.
“Next week, same deal, same belt channel, same belt time. Belt to ass.”

Irvin actually had a proper to gloat after Wednesday’s stunning upset, one of the most important in the short historical past of the College Football Playoff.
It appeared few exterior of Coral Gables gave the Hurricanes a likelihood against the defending champions, who entered the sport favored by more than a landing.
But Miami took a 14-0 lead into halftime and then made some key performs late to forestall an epic Ohio State rally, with Carson Beck finishing a vital third-down play that he didn’t actually keep in mind.

“Shoot, I was blacked out,” Beck said with a snort to ESPN. “Man, was blacked out. I was out there just, shoot, I don’t know, I was just blacked out playing a game I love.”
Irvin posted a lot of footage from his sidelines view of the sport, and he even pulled the same belt-whipping stunt on another cooler that didn’t don any crimson gear.
Miami will look to continue its cinderella run next Thursday in the quarterfinal against the winner of Thursday’s conflict between No. 3 Georgia and No. 6 Ole Miss.
“It is Dec. 31, and we’re about to flip the calendar, but we will no longer say happy new year,” Irvin said in another clip. “We will say happy U year, happy U year, yeah, yeah. Bring that mug in. Happy U year.”
