Silly Gators, smack talking is for kids. The “W” was barely in the books after Florida whooped up on Hawaii and all the chatter turned to Miami and this Saturday’s contest in Gainesville.
First to run his fat mouth was the Gators second or third-best receiver, Louis Murphy:
“If I’m right, the ‘U’ stands for the University of Miami,” said Murphy. “Well, we’re the University of Florida. We’re the ‘U.’ I don’t refer to them as the ‘U.’ I refer to them as Miami. If the ‘U’ is for university and winning and championships, we’re the ‘U.’ They are Miami, and that’s what I call them.”
Someone needs to give Mr. Murphy a quick history lesson the Miami/Florida rivarly, as well as a sports almanac to learn him a lesson in winning and championships.
Last I checked, the Canes had five football national championships to the Gators’ two and had beaten Florida six straight times. Even with a UiF win this weekend, it’s still 5 titles to 2 and Florida will be 1-6 in their last seven meetings with their oldest state rival.
While nowhere near as classless and idiotic as Murphy, Tim Tebow got in a lick or two of his own after leading the Gator to victory on Saturday. Regarding his recruiting trip to Miami and taking in a game at the Orange Bowl:
“I am huge into the college environment and excitement, and you look around, and there were 30,000 empty seats,” Tebow said. “Then you come to Florida and you see this environment. … Wow, what a difference.”
What a shock, another Gator talking about the fan base and playing the Attendance Bowl. I guess Tebow missed the part of the tour where it was explained that Miami was a private school with upwards of 10,000 undergrads and an off-campus stadium in a big time city.
You don’t have to be a math major to break down the numbers. If Miami has 10K undergrads and gets upwards of 50K in the stadium on game day, isn’t that a better percentage than Florida packing over 90K into The Swamp when there are over 50K undergrads?
Of course the biggest mouth to chime in is one that won’t see the field this weekend and sports a 0-2 record against the Canes; current Miami Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder.
When you underachieve and fall short, I guess all you can do is talk smack. Crowder’s 2003 Gators fell 38-33 at the Orange Bowl, after sitting on a 33-10 late third quarter lead. A year later, the two teams met in the Peach Bowl, where Miami rolled 27-10, behind a strong defensive and special teams effort.
Maybe the Gators would’ve had a fighting chance if Crowder saved his angst for the field, instead of getting arrested (twice) for brawling outside of night clubs and vandalizing cars.
Crowder has been in the ear of former Canes offensive lineman Vernon Carey, attempting to place a wager on the game and talk as much smack as he can muster up.
“Nobody is taking that bet anywhere in the world because Florida is just going to trample them,” said Crowder. “Jacory Harris was in P.E. six months ago, come on now. They don’t have a chance to beat the Gators, at all. I don’t know why people even talk about this. It’s a warm up game for the Gators.”
Crowder is proving to be another Gator in need of a history lesson. The only one in this series doing any trampling in recent memory have been the Canes. Florida last beat Miami in 1985 and hasn’t taken them to the woodshed since a 28-3 win in 1983, when the Canes went on to win eleven straight and their first national championship.
On Miami’s end, not a peep – outside of Leonard Hankerson, who diplomatically responded to Murphy’s rant. Hankerson and the rest of the Canes arrived to a Sunday night practice and had a copy of Murphy’s quote blown up and posted in their respective lockers.
“It definitely pumped us up,” Hankerson said. “We were already pumped up for this game, but now the guys are really getting excited. We all want to win bad. Right now, we feel like nobody in the nation respects Miami. We’re going to earn our respect.”
Since Murphy’s rant, head coach Urban Meyer has muzzled his barking dog and has made the receiver off limits to the media.
Safe to say the smack-a-thon will be put on ice and the next we’ll hear from both teams will be this Saturday at 8pm ET under the lights.
I don’t know what to say to these Gaytor fans. They think that a 3 year run is going to place them atop the football world when it barely places them above FSU in terms of yearly runs!!
I’ll tell you this and leave it at this. This game is going to have a morrell victory to it if Miami can keep it close. If they keep this game close Gaytor fans ,I would say, are screwed if they think they have a championship caliber team.
On a side note, we’re going to see what P. Nix has to offer. He can’t come in with the same gameplan he did last year vs. OU. He needs to open up the playbook and needs to call big play. None of this controling the clock or wanting to slow down the game. He needs to come out swining and swining hard!
Would you agree 305?
Go ‘Canes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We got some ‘Canes over here!!
WOO WOO
I love it how they talk smack, but it only works when you have the ability to smack someone in the mouth and back it up!!!
The GAYturds played like crap in the 1st quarter, and played starters on both sides of the ball & special teams well into the 4th quarter! How can they talk smack at the "U" when they had to play hard against a team that spent 8hours on an airplane to play them at home? Go figure!!!
When the "U" was at it's pinnacle, we talked smack and backed it up on the feild! In fact most teams knew we would back it up, and were beat(mentally) before the opening kickoff! If the GAYturds start slow like they did against Hawaii, watch the young Canes grow into a category 5 by halftime!!!
All the gaytor fans cry saying all we do is talk about the past, blah blah blah.
We talk about the past because we HAVE a past. I wouldnt want to talk about the past either if I were the gaytors.
Its crazy what one national championship (won 2 years ago now) will do to such an ignorant fan base. But thats what happens when your not used to winning many.
What is going to irritate me most is how all these gayturd fans are going to get verbal about the win (if they indeed win) and forget the fact that we are not ranked. If memory serves, they were a ranked team when we beat them. Well, get it while the gettings good gayturds, it will not last long !!!
big pimpin
what a joke …way to blow things out of proportion to try and pump your team up
Love this blog!!! Question, what’s th i in UiF stand for? Thanks
GREAT write-up. I can’t wait for the game this Saturday, where we teach Timmy and his friends just how good this Hurricanes team can be.
Go Canes!
Thanks for the history lesson, how about we pull out a crystal ball and make predictions on who wins another National Championship before the other school wins another conference title. History ends somewhere, and that time has passed, now is the future and its all about The U of FLORIDA. Thanks for pointing out the obvious and agreeing with Tim, you can’t get a college experience in a big city.
what a joke …way to blow things out of proportion to try and pump your team up
Yeah, good call. Blown out of proportion. Your wideout runs his mouth to the point where your coach put a muzzle on him, but it’s much ado about nothing.
Thanks for the history lesson, how about we pull out a crystal ball and make predictions on who wins another National Championship before the other school wins another conference title.
Murphy obviously needed the history lesson…
I got $20 that says Miami wins the ACC before Florida wins their next national championship. Bring that bet on any day of the week.
You Gators wonder why everyone hates you and bitches about your arrogance. Over 100 years of football and two titles to show for it, yet running your mouth like the big swinging-dick program you’re not. Miami and Florida State both have more football history and success than Florida.
UiF hasn’t even put together ONE undefeated season in school’s history – something Miami has done three times and Florida State, once.
For all the hype, your Heisman-winning quarterback and all world head coach lost four games last year — yet you act like you dominate year in and year out.
As for the big city versus a college town, you can keep po dunk Gainesville. Home Schooled Timmy might not have the stones to come to The U, but the two dozen first round NFL Draft picks this decade would seem to disagree.
History ends somewhere, and that time has passed, now is the future and its all about The U of FLORIDA. Thanks for pointing out the obvious and agreeing with Tim, you can’t get a college experience in a big city.
quick lesson to canes morons. louis murphy is our number 2 reciever, his numbers dwarfed those of any cane last year, or what any will do this year. with all of the u’s dominance you have a 3 game edge in the series, wow you own us! of your 5 mnc we beat you one of those years, so you must not have been that great to loose to the lowly gators. how low have you pathetic s florida criminals sunk that its a moral victory to keep it close, a gator would never think that way. by the way you will NEVER win anything with a loser like shannon in charge, he cant keep his players from rioting or even qualify half of them so come to gainesville with your soldier boy dances and your and your queer or stolen cheers and go home with tears in your eyes heres to looking down on your for years to come remember, you cant spell SUCK without the “U “
quick lesson to canes morons. louis murphy is our number 2 reciever, his numbers dwarfed those of any cane last year, or what any will do this year.
Murphy had 37 receptions for 548 yards and 5 touchdowns in 2007.
Darnell Jenkins had 31 receptions for 619 yards and 2 touchdowns in 2007.
Who’s the moron now?
As for this year, we’ll talk in December regarding what kind of numbers Miami wideouts put up.
with all of the u’s dominance you have a 3 game edge in the series, wow you own us! of your 5 mnc we beat you one of those years, so you must not have been that great to loose to the lowly gators.
… a three-game edge in the series because Florida used to whoop up on Miami in yesteryear, before the Canes became a force. The U started becoming The U upwards of 30 years ago when Howard Schnellenberger took over (1978).
Since 1978, the Canes are 11-3 against Florida.
Florida beat Miami, 28-3 in 1983 when Bernie Kosar was a true freshman and playing his first game. The Canes went on to win 11-straight, beating #1 Nebraska in the 1984 Orange Bowl Classic, 31-30 — arguably one of the best teams in history…. so an August loss to UiF was easier to swallow.
By the way, it’s “lose” not “loose”, smart guy.
how low have you pathetic s florida criminals sunk that its a moral victory to keep it close, a gator would never think that way.
… yeah, that’s why you’ve lost six straight to Miami and it’s 5 rings to 2.
What were the Gators’ think last year against Auburn, Georgia, LSU and Michigan?
by the way you will NEVER win anything with a loser like shannon in charge, he cant keep his players from rioting or even qualify half of them so come to gainesville with your soldier boy dances and your and your queer or stolen cheers and go home with tears in your eyes heres to looking down on your for years to come remember, you cant spell SUCK without the “U “
Don’t take this the wrong way, but are you a little bit s-s-s-l-l-l-l-o-o-o-w-w-w?
Soldier Boy dances, stolen cheers and rioting players? I don’t even know what that means.
I do know that upwards of 17 Gators have gotten in trouble or arrested on Urban Myth’s watch, though… but yeah, sure, Miami are the thugs.
Good name there,,,,,,,, the ultimate oxymoron,,,,,
GAYtor Greats,,,,
right up there with jumbo shrimp, eh, sugar britches??
I got TWO words for you finestein douchenozzle,,,,
SHIFT KEY
It helps if you type with two hands,,,, kinda takes the guesswork out of what on earth you do with that free hand while visiting a CANES blog.
Can someone please explain what the i in UiF stands for???
Can someone please explain what the i in UiF stands for???
UiF as in “if” instead of “F”.
Canes fans have been using the moniker for years as Gators always talk about the “if” factor.
IF they had played Miami in the 2002 Rose Bowl and IF they hadn’t lost to Tennessee late in the year, they’d have been national champs.
IF this, that or the other happened, the win streak wouldn’t be at six games.
IF they didn’t play in the SEC, they’d have as many titles as Miami, IF not more.
The ‘if’ factor…
How come when a UM wr spits puke out his mouth its a “proud 305 Cain THANG!”,..and then cleverly followed up with a “uh, You wouldn’t understand”!….woa! Way to cover your ass!
Here’s some insight for you stuck in the “tude fans,..NO ONE, repeat, NO ONE was ever “scared” or intimidated by the ‘Canes. This is football, and while you guys that never played, talk all that lovely implied yak, the players on ANY of the other teams were not impressed.
UM was solid as an independent,..but after they joined a conference? (and not the vacated Big(L)East either) they found the road more difficult.
Also, its nice to see you all siding up w/F$U on some of these issues here,…you hypocrite bastages! Tyring to link to another UF rival?…or “pimpin'” up the ACC, are we?
Enjoy your 5 titles, and the Gators will enjoy the game this Saturday!
OH,…GAYTORS?….wow!,..we’re really hitting this name-calling thing while the irons are hot, aren’t we?….is that what the “private” EDU gets ya?…35 year old elementary locker room names?
How’s that Ohio State ass taste?
gatoredj and gatorgreats how about you stay on your own blog site. What kills me about you reptiles is how you have to come on another team’s blog to find out what’s going on AND how you come with some of the silliest s**t. (Allcanes, way to go on how you put these 2 “morons” in their place). It must be killing you idiots in sorry a** gainsville to beat Miami, Oh you want it so bad, you can taste it. Well if you bring that bullsh** you brought against Hawaii you’re going to find those 90K drunk a** fans finding the exit early. gaYtor fans shut the hell up, stay on your own blog site(your side of the fence) and we will see you in that little, backwoods country town you call a city on Saturday. PS: Tell little Timmy Tebow, he should be really proud to have one the Heisman leading his team to a 4 loss season. What a joke!
Big A from the 321 to the 305!!!!!!!!!!
yeah, no Caine fan EVER said “if” during that game against OSU, now did they?….or, “If” Testy didn’t throw ALL those picks against Pennistate,..or “IF” they’d have taken Alabama more serious,..or “If” Washington wasn’t the better team when you all split a Title with them…or “If” Virginia hadn’t closed out the Orange Bowl with that fabulous shut-out last year….UM has a few “if”‘s it seems, too….???
More hypocrit’o’canes logic?
Oh, and the canes can’t touch Yales’ 26 Titles,..so GO IVY LEAGUE!
Didn’t we eat gator meat last trip to “the swamp”..up there in Canesville? Weren’t they talking all this crap back then…Didn’t the West End Zone Crew walk out at games end to empty streets (except for the firetrucks as the purple porpoise burned)…
—
Even IF they manage to get this one, it’ll be the last one for a while (not because they wont sign up for a yearly series, the pussies) but because our dormant stage is OVER…We’ve got the outflow back and are growing back into a fierce Cat 5 Storm…
—
G-d I really hate the gator idiots who only chat/blog/taunt? when they are in the top 5…by the way…they can toot all they want, cause there window for another National Championship is this year..and this year alone…and after watching USC last weekend, they got NO shot!!!
What do we eat? Gator meat…how do we eat it?? Raw!!! Suck it Gators!
You Gators are morons.
Every program has games they lost where they could say “if”. No s#*t.
No one says “if” more than Florida. You retards suffer from little d1ck syndrome, so inferior of Miami it’s scary.
You tools can’t stomach the fact that a private school with 10% of your athletic budget, lesser facilities and an off campus stadium has found a way to not only dominate the college football landscape for decades, but The U has come back from the dead on a few occasions.
In the 1990s it was UCF that was supposed to surpass the Canes, while the Gators were supposed to keep dominating.
We saw how long that lasted.
By the early 2000s, Miami was a juggernaut again, while Florida was relegated to three straight 8-5 seasons.
How come Florida can make excuses all day long about Ron Zook taking down the program, but Miami can’t blame Larry Coker for his ruining of things?
Randy Shannon is rebuilding just like Urban Meyer did. Meyer is no genius. Three losses year one and four in year three with a Heisman winner? Dude simply brought in the talent, just like Randy is doing now.
Coker left the program for dead and Shannon is resurrecting it – just like Butch Davis did 10 years ago…. who at the time was another defensive-minded guy with UM ties and no head coaching experience.
Enjoy your 15 minutes, Gator morons. You’ll get your win next weekend, but it’ll still be 5 to 2 and 1-of-7.
TITLE COUNT:
“THE U” 5
The University of Florida
Gators 2
…and i did’nt have to call you names, cuz you might have gotten your fellings hurt 🙁 …again!!!
20 years of STOMPING UiF…HAHAHahahaaaahahahaa
“I am huge into the college environment and excitement, and you look around, and there were 30,000 empty seats,” Tebow said. “Then you come to Florida and you see this environment. … Wow, what a difference.”
I guess Genious didnt pay much attention who had more first round deffence of players over the yrs!! Maybe Tebow needs another vacation trip back to phillipines…oh! wait a min his vacation version will be on his back when the Canes D lays him out!!
Wow, Louis Murphy giving us history lessons, Urban Meyer threatening to run up the score, the only NFL talent in college football resides in the SEC … Gosh guys, maybe we should reconsider traveling to Gainesville and just tell Florida, “Okay, you are so powerful and omnipotent we are not worthy to even kneel within 200 miles of you. We are insignificant infidels in the shadow of the great and mighty Urban and Tebow. Forgive us for scheduling this game, for we forgot there are only three deities normal humans are forbidden from looking in the eye; Urban Meyer, Tim Tebow and Barbra Streisand.
Since we have committed sacrilege in even thinking we could occupy the same atmosphere as the great Urban and Tebow, here is what we propose as penance:
Remove Pope Benedict XVI from the papacy and install Pope Urban Meyer VIIII. This is due to the lack of homage and proper deference to Pope Urban. The Vatican is moved to Gainesville, where the Vatican expatriates introduce the local population to modern dentistry,
Pope Urban dispenses with the usual process of vetting saints and elevates St. Tebow at once. St. Tebow immediately blesses and sanctifies all double-wides,
Jeremy Foley is instantly ascended to heaven, where he starts negotiating command and control of all oil producing and refining facilities in Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Russia, Iran, Indonesia, UAE, Canada and Nigeria. He also lays claim to all offshore facilities around the world. Hugo Chavez states, “All of this is yours, Almighty Foley.”
Pope Urban, St. Tebow and the Almighty Foley issue a joint communiqué, stating if their demands are not met, they will automatically insert Ohio State into the BCS National Championship game, which we all know will be the Seventh Sign of the Apocalypse.
I don’t know guys – how can we possibly stand up to such greatness!!???!!
And tOSU ate Ibis meat, so what?…
Virginia ate some last year…and quite a bit too.(as did most Div 1 schools) I guess those 5 National Titles “da U” has didn’t impress them too much? Blame Coker though, good move!It’ll do ya about that much next week too!
As will the ; “but, uh, but uh, we beat you the last 6 times!”…yeah, Gator fans will be impressed as you leave singing that tune!
Who else ate Ibis meat “RAW” in the recent past?…oh, well you did beat F$U, I guess that’s why you’ve chosen to “partner up” with them here,…for now” A week before that game, and you’ll siddle up with some other team, and try the “Uh, we have 5 Titles and you only have 2” catch-phrase….nice touch!
Hey!,…at least you won your Bowl Game last year! Even Zook never missed a Bowl….well, how could he, there are 154 of them!…
This here is good….(you): “Randy Shannon is rebuilding just like Urban Meyer did. Meyer is no genius. Three losses year one and four in year three with a Heisman winner? Dude simply brought in the talent, just like Randy is doing now.”…
Just like Meyer did,…awww, how sweet!
THIS one is the best,….(idiot hypocrite); …”G-d I really hate the gator idiots who only chat/blog/taunt? “…
Hey, Copernicus, THIS IS A BLOG SITE,…..”moron”,..are you even QUALIFIED to use that term?
Enjoy you 5 Titles boys,…they should help you as much as that “Late hits to Tebow” trick you’re drumming up! CRAFTY!
Actually according to Michael DiRocco of the Florida Times Union neither Meyer or Spurrier want anything to do with a regular series with Da U (Irvin coined it a long time ago so Murphy is about 20 years late if he wanted to use it). In case you cannot click the link below here is the statement:
Meyer admitted that he hasn’t exactly studied the Florida-Miami series with the same intensity he did Florida-Tennessee, Florida-Georgia or Florida-Florida State, but he does know enough that he doesn’t really want to play Miami on a regular basis.
The schools will be meeting for the first time since the 2004 Peach Bowl. Miami won that game 27-10, the Hurricanes’ sixth consecutive victory in the series. Florida hasn’t beaten Miami since the 1985 season opener in the Orange Bowl.
Apparently Meyer isn’t the only Florida coach that wanted no part of a regular series.
“I asked [Steve] Spurrier about that at one of the [SEC] meetings and he said, ‘Yeah, I would always come out publicly and say we’ve got to play them, we’ve got to play them, but deep down I didn’t want to play those guys.'”

But keep believing your school doesn’t duck us.
Hmmmm…. I want to go play football at a school because I get a warm and fuzzy feeling inside when I see more people in the stands. WHAT!!! The tradition that the CANES have built in such a shorter amount of time holds much more weight then anything they can offer a recruit. While the CANES were pillaging teams and winning championships, they were trying to find an identity. A couple of questions CANES!! Does it bother you that you get no respect from anybody??? Does it make you angry that nobody shows you any love?? Does it bother you that on paper you have absolutely no chance at winning on Saturday?? I am so damn sick of seeing their memorabilia in every store and nothing of the hurricanes. I am sick of seeing lil timmy on the cover of every magazine. They breath just like you…. they ain’t $h!t. YOU are part of the best college football program ever. That in it self trumps anything that anyone else can offer. PUT THIS $h!t TO REST!! DON’T JUST WIN… DON’T JUST BEAT THEM…. DEMOLISH THEM…. KNOCK THEM ON THEIR A$$… PRESS YOUR FOOT INTO THEIR THROAT AND KEEP THEM THEIR UNTIL THE CLOCK WINDS DOWN…. NOW LETS PUT THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN TO BED AND GO HUNT US SOME GATOR!!!!!!!
I hate trolls. Go back to the Dump, Turd fans.
To all the Gator fans (I know you’re reading this):
If we lose on Saturday, we will still say 5-2 and 1 out of last 7. Of course, you’ll all hate that and say we’re whining. Maybe we are, it’s hard to fall from grace and hard to be patient on the climb back up. If you beat us this weekend, I’ll admit that UiF owns us when you admit UGA owns the Gators. Didn’t y’all lose to them last year? Haven’t I heard 1 out of 7 from y’all? That’s right, shut up and play the game. History goes back farther than 3 hours.
The scUM is more widely known for the criminal record of its players, recruits and fans than the 5 MNC (only 4 without losing to the Gators) achieved when Miami could not stomach a league and played patsies for 9 of 11 games.
But hey- the ACC looks ripe for scUM dominance this year. Of course you all will beat FSU- you did last year when no Noles were suspended, as well as Clemson, VT, NC and the rest of the excuses for football teams the ACC has this year. Enjoy! The post season reality check is coming, as are the law enforcement representatives to reclaim the thugs. Good job demonstrating why no one- except those free on bail or pending appeal -supports scUM.
The scUM is more widely known for the criminal record of its players, recruits and fans than the 5 MNC (only 4 without losing to the Gators) achieved when Miami could not stomach a league and played patsies for 9 of 11 games.
Ahh, scUM. How original and so 80s of you.
Maybe a bunch of jealous, little-dick-syndrome Gators cite the Canes criminal record in the 80s – but anyone who knows anything about college football is aware that The U has dominated the college football landscape for almost three decades now…
You can’t stand that a small private school with no funding has accomplished in 25 years what you clowns couldn’t do in a century. Choke on that. There’s absolutely NO excuse for Miami to do what it’s done, while big time, money bags Florida is still playing catch up.
As for those ‘pasties’ you speak up, typical Florida drivel by someone who didnt’ do their homework.
Miami won three titles as an Independent (83,87,89) and played only two Big East games year one (91). 2001 was the only year the Canes won as a full fledged member of the Big East
As an Independent, Miami ducked nobody. En route to the 1987 title, Miami beat #20 Florida, #10 Arkansas, #4 Florida State,#10 Notre Dame, #8 South Carolina and #1 Oklahoma, for the title.
In 1991, it was #10 Houston, #9 Penn State and #1 Florida State, in Tallahassee, before beating Nebraska in the OB.
The post season reality check is coming, as are the law enforcement representatives to reclaim the thugs.
Look no further than your own backyards for thugs dummy…
How can you hypocrites talk smack when your fraud of a coach lets Ron Wilson back on the team, after beating a kid down, spitting on him and firing an AK-47 — all because you lack depth on the line?
Meanwhile, Randy Shannon is suspending kids for missing study hall, but Meyer lets kids run amok in Gainesville with 17 arrest or kids in hot water on his watch since 2006. Stay classy, Urban Myth.
It’s 2008, not 1988 smart guy. UiF is the new national champion regarding thug life.
7-6 followed by 5-7 your program is in serious decline.Face it Shannon is not the man.You now play in a decent conference and the weekly challenges will have a toll.Gone are the days of dominance.Three of your national championships were home games and the Orange Bowl is also gone.UF is taking your homegrown talent as is the rest of the nation.Your reputation has finally caught up with you.College football has too many great programs and Miami is no longer one of them.
“Serious decline?” Miami pulled in a top-ranked recruiting class and out-recruited Urban Meyer after a 5-7 season. 7-6 was a result of the mess Larry Coker left. Any idiot can see that. The old man started out with back to back title games, yet went 9-3, 9-3 and 7-6 his final three years.
Florida didn’t get ONE recruit out of Dade County last year and Frankie Hammond Jr. was the only kid you fools took out of south Florida.
You Gator fans need to put down Urban’s Kool Aid and pick up a history book as your facts are way off.
No one in college football has a worse reputation on and off the field than the Gator right now.
Sam Dorinson
Palm Beach Gardens, FL
Lets take a short history class: Thirty years ago the Gators were beating up a small school from Coral Gables on a alomst yearly basis but as soon as the small school grew up and started to bully and pound everyone else and win five national championships, UiF conveniently dropped the U becasue they couldnt fit them in the schedule but they were able to play the Citadels, UL MOnroe and any other cupcake they could find as long as they played at the almighty SWAMP. Pathetic. Yes I will admit you are a better team right now but what will happen once you ALL WORLD ALL Everything QB leaves? Simple. YOu will be once again a four or five loss team that can barely beat your conference opponents. While the one and only U wins its sixth title which by the way will be THREE times as many as the Uif will have. Everyone says you cant spell THUGS without the U but I say you cant spell *UCK *UPS without UF!!!! Always has been, always will be ALL ABOUT THE U!!!!!!!!!!
I havent seen one post from a Gator fan thats come close to making ANY kind of sense. Eh, guess thats what ya get from a state school with more faculty, more students and more funding right? You Gators are a f’ing joke.
Boy is it funny how childish things can get. Gators go spam your “U” hate on your own boards/blogs.
The Swamp….100 years and still moving
The Orange Bowl…about 50 years and dead.
Why don’t your private donors build you a new stadium? Because you’re broke ass fast food cooks who could never get into college.
How’s it feel to not even be able to get logo on the field?
Gaytors? Gayturds? Are you all 5 years old?
I decided to check out one of the better written blogs of our opponent this weekend, but the commentary here is not worthy of the quality writing on this blog. And I include the “scUM” commentary by a Gator fan in that.
Props to Allcanes from another blogger for what looks to be a quality effort. As another blogger I’ll be sure to check you out more often.
Hey Latest-Anonymous-Gator-Idiot — The Swamp is still moving because it’s the only thing in Gainesville worth a squirt of piss. The Orange Bowl – which was 70 years old – is gonzo. Is what it is. Still more tradition in that rubble that was once a stadium than the Swamp will ever have.
Oh yeah and the U logo on the field will be back September 27th and for the rest of the season. It wasn’t there game with the Marlins season still in tact.
Dolphin Stadium has been the home of Super Bowls and is in a big-time city like Miami, while the Swamp is in sorry ass Canesville and sees nothing but cowtipping in the offseason.
mergz – Thanks for the props.
Yeah, seems both fan bases get a little out of control with such a big game ahead.
The name-calling is two-sided, though. Check out how many times your bretheren drop “scUM” on here as well as ‘Cryami’ or any other childish, immature moniker.
More insulting is the fact that Gator fans are the visitors here, disrespecting a Canes site. Miami fans can say what they want here, as that’s the purpose of this blog. Outsiders should show a little more respect. Especially in such an open forum where we post everyones comments.
Too bad people can’t just talk football, instead of turning the argument into that of attendance, thugs, arrests, facilities or whatever else people choose to sling instead of being logical and talking about the actual game itself.
Here’s to an eventuful and memorable Saturday.

I’m neither a Gator nor Cane fan, but I have to mention this to you Miami fans. Ever since you left the weak Big East Conference and joined an even weaker ACC football conference, you guys have gone 16-16 in conference games. That’s pathetic.

…. while the stat can’t be argued, it’s misleading.
Miami’s decline had nothing to do with leaving one conference for another and everything to do with Larry Coker’s inability to recruit and develop talent.
Had Miami joined the ACC in 2000, it’d have been a solid three year run – same as the Big East.
Conversely, Miami would’ve gotten beat up in the Big East the past few years, as they did the ACC.
Florida State owned the ACC the majority of the 90s and a few times this decade… much of the time, while Miami was a mirror image of the Noles and beating them on a regular basis.
If Miami could beat the ACC’s best when on top, they could handle the switch if the program were in better shape the past few years.
The process is underway and Miami will be more of an in conference force starting this season.
Miami is now paying a price for the treatment of their coaches.When Coker cut Kehoe and Solinger from his staff that was a major mistake.Miami has not had any offense to speak of since.

Disagree.
Kehoe was cut because he wasn’t doing his job. End of story. The guy occasionally had some good players, but his lines were a weak spot for Miami.
Even his best players in recent memory weren’t recruited by him. Eric Winston was a converted tight end and Bryant McKinnie was a JUCO transfer. Kehoe was all about undersized Canadians instead of going to the midwest and bringing in the big, well-fed hosses.
Kehoe then thought his best play was to sue his alma matter – instead of accepting the firing like a man.
As for Solly, he couldn’t play well with others. A very solid coach that had a few down years, it was Sol’s attitude and demeanor that got him canned.
To citizencane: “morrell” victory? Are you a representative of the quality (or lack thereof) that comes from the ‘U’ when you can’t even spell? I know we are all deadly serious about football, but can you thank the ‘U’ for making you an idiot for your life outside the stadium? Can’t spell stUpid without the ‘U’, can we?
Gator fans, go to your own blog and talk to each each other. Don’t come on here talking crap, feeling big because you FINALLY won a title this quarter century. This is a Cane blog. Be a man and leave a name, not just anonymous. Let’s hope for your sake that you win in The Puddle this year because that will be it. Oh yeah, we don’t play again until 2013 because you don’t want another L each season if we played yearly. Fear is a strong thing and you know all about it. Keep talking.

26-3. what happened to all that sh-t talk. 1985 was the last time scum would play the Gators until the 2000s when Spurrier left. We have two more behind Tebow.
26-3. what happened to all that sh-t talk.
What happened to your potent offense? 9-3 in the fourth? That’s a baseball score. Miami’s D held your big time O in check most of the night.
What about all that “we’re gonna hang 50 on you” nonsense? Miami has nothing to be a shame of as some of those freshman were owning your more experienced kids.
Oh yeah, Miami beat Spurrier’s ass, 37-20 in the 2001 Sugar Bowl… so there goes that theory about not playing the Gator til Visor Boy left.
Get a history book, champ.
It’s still 5 to 2 and you’re 1-6 in the last seven.
Man, you guys haven’t beat the Gators in four+ years! The Gators own U!
