Former Adult Star's Emotional Reaction to Miami's Championship Defeat
Days after capturing national attention during ESPN's broadcast of the College Football Playoff National Championship, former adult film star Abella Danger has offered heartfelt praise for the quarterback who defeated her beloved Miami Hurricanes. The adult actress, whose real name is Amirah Day, has been attending University of Miami games since 2024 following her retirement from the porn industry in 2022.
From Viral Sensation to Heartbroken Fan
Her appearances throughout the Hurricanes' remarkable run to the championship game drew significant attention from ESPN cameras and sparked considerable discussion across social media platforms. However, the Canes ultimately fell to the Indiana Hoosiers, who transformed Miami's Hard Rock Stadium into a Bloomington-like atmosphere as the program secured its first-ever national title behind Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza.
Following the devastating defeat, the heartbroken Miami student traveled to Las Vegas for the AVN Awards, where she was asked about Mendoza's professional prospects. The standout quarterback is projected to be selected first overall in the upcoming NFL Draft by the Las Vegas Raiders.
High Praise for the Championship Hero
'I mean, he's so quick and he's so powerful and so intentional with everything that he does,' she told Vegas Sports Today. 'I feel like the Raiders would be so lucky to have him. The question is will he play his first season after being drafted? I don't know, but hopefully he does. I know the world is just dying to get more of that kid, he's so talented.'
The former porn star, who is now a senior at the University of Miami, felt compelled to issue a public apology after being prominently featured during ESPN's championship broadcast. 'I would give anything in the world to not have had ESPN film me, and I am so deeply sorry to anyone I offended with my attendance at the game,' she explained to TMZ. 'I wish I could be any other student supporting my team.'
A Lifelong Hurricanes Devotee
According to additional reports, Danger emphasized her dedication to the program, stating: 'I came to every single home game this season. Every single one. I went to two out of three playoff games, and now I'm here. I feel so honored as a senior at the University of Miami to witness my team go to the national championship in Miami. I'm so nervous. I feel like I'm going to throw up.'
Danger represents a lifelong Hurricanes fan and, like Mendoza, hails from Miami. Shortly after the championship contest concluded, she shared an emotional video while departing Hard Rock Stadium, where she could be heard shouting: 'I hate this!' In a separate social media post, she elaborated on her deep connection to the university.
'I was born and raised in Miami. I went to South Miami Middle School, five minutes from UM, where we all wore orange and green just like UM,' she wrote. 'I have dreamed 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.'
The Championship Deciding Moments
Danger struggled to contain her emotions after Miami suffered an agonizing 27-21 defeat, with star quarterback Fernando Mendoza inspiring Indiana to a historic victory. When ESPN cameras captured her watching nervously from the stands, her school was trailing 24-14 with less than seven minutes remaining in regulation.
The Hurricanes managed to score another touchdown during the fourth quarter, yet a subsequent Hoosiers field goal left them trailing by six points as the game entered its final moments. On their last offensive drive, Miami quarterback Carson Beck threw a critical interception that sealed their fate and crowned Indiana as national champions.
This devastating conclusion proved too much for Danger, who burst into tears after watching her team falter at the final hurdle. While leaving the stadium, the 30-year-old broke down in another video shared to her Instagram story, repeatedly declaring: 'I hate this!'
Mendoza's Championship Heroics
Mendoza emerged as the definitive hero for Indiana after scoring a remarkable touchdown that propelled the Hoosiers to their inaugural national championship. Performing in front of notable spectators including Tom Brady and Donald Trump, Mendoza solidified his status as college football's premier quarterback with an extraordinary individual play that shifted momentum away from the Hurricanes during the decisive fourth quarter.
The projected number one NFL Draft selection and reigning Heisman Trophy winner bulldozed his way into the end zone from twelve yards out on a dramatic fourth-down conversion. Miami still maintained an opportunity to orchestrate a dramatic comeback, but Beck's interception with merely forty-four seconds remaining ignited wild celebrations among Indiana's players, coaching staff, and traveling supporters.
