ESPN’s coverage of the national championship tilt between Miami and Indiana wasn’t without the Hurricanes’ famed supporter.
With less than seven minutes to go in Monday’s College Football Playoff (CFP) title game, cameras panned to adult film star Abella Danger in the stands at Hard Rock Stadium, where her beloved Hurricanes fell to the Hoosiers at home, 27-21.
The moment naturally stirred up buzz on social media, with fans reacting to Abella’s appearance on the Worldwide Leader.
“ESPN just cut straight from Carson Beck to Abella Danger holy s–t,” an X user posted.
“Still not over how ESPN showed ABELLA DANGER on their broadcast,” another post read.
Another X user remarked, ” ESPN IS NOT SLICK FOR PUTTING ABELLA DANGER ON SCREEN.”
A full-time Miami student, Abella has supported the Hurricanes during their CFP run this season.
She made waves in December after being featured on ESPN’s broadcast of Miami’s 10-3 win over Texas A&M.
“The fact that in my lifetime I got to witness Miami beat A&M on their home turf with 98,000 of their fans and only 2000 something miami fans in attendance is something i will never ever forget,” she posted on Instagram after the first-round playoff win.
Abella could hardly contain her excitement when Miami advanced to the championship following a 31-27 win over Ole Miss in the Fiesta Bowl earlier this month.
“THE U IS GOING TO THE NATTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CANNOT BREATHE I AM SO HAPPY FOR THIS TEAM THAT HAS WORKED SO HARD ALL SEASON, YOU ARE ALL LEGENDS!!!!!” she exclaimed on social media.
Although Miami fell short of a national title this year, with Indiana capping off its perfect season at 16-0, Abella believes her team “WILL be back with a vengeance.”
“I was born and raised in miami, I went to south miami middle school 5 minutes from UM where we all wore orange and green just like UM, I have dreamt of being a hurricane since i was 10 years old, my love for the Canes is UNCONDITIONAL, I am and will always be a Hurricane and we WILL be back with a vengeance,” she said in a postgame Instagram Story.
“Tomorrow I’m going to class with my head held so high because we made it to the natty and 99% of schools did not.”
