UF cites proximity while UM fans pointed to two national championships (’83 and ’87) and the fact that the Canes were on the rise and had the Gators’ number.
An article in today’s Miami Herald stated that the 2013 match up between Miami and Florida will be the last the rivalry could see for a while, with Gators AD Jeremy Foley reneging on a willingness to face UM twice every six years. Foley wants seven annual home games and while reeling Florida State will remain on schedule, rising Miami won’t get their shot at the state power.
Miami AD Kirby Hocutt stated that “Miami-Florida is good for college football” and was working to renew the rivalry. Foley shot it down.
Glad to see that twenty years later Florida still wants no part of Miami… unless that means welcoming mighty Florida International back to The Swamp.
