The 2003 Fiesta Bowl is fondly remembered by Ohio State fans across the world. Less well-known is how bitter Miami fans are about that game-- even twelve years later.

Fresh off the two-part documentary from ESPN's 30 for 30 series on Miami football's wild history, "The U", some enterprising fans are selling Sebastian the Ibis hats. All well and good, until you get to the sixth national title listed on the side: '02*.

As you may recall, Miami fans feel like they were robbed in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl. "The U" director Billy Corben even included it as Miami's championship at the end of his documentary, with an asterisk.

It must stink to be caught up on a title one's team didn't win 12 years ago. Some of us are celebrating teams that won titles 12 days ago.
