MIAMI — Mario Cristobal was 13, an age for dreaming, the night the University of Miami arrived as a national college football power. “My grandfather’s house, on a black-and-white TV, watching Kenny Calhoun bat down that ball,” he says now.

Unless you’ve gone off the grid, you know we have a historic election this year, and it’s dividing the country as well as some relationships.
