Although Miami did not seem to me to be much of a rivalry until after the “flop.” Jerry From:gatortalk@googlegroups.com [mailto:gatort...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of lpolh...@bellsouth.net Sent: Friday, June 18, 2010 7:23 AM To: Gatortalk Subject: Re: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] [ESPN]: 6/15 09:40 --- Texas move helps Big 12 survive [Joe Schad] I've been a Gator long enough to remember the UF-Miami annual rivalry game before FSU became a part of our schedule. I'd trade a weekend in Tally for a weekend in Miami in a heartbeat.

They were invited and they declined. I have no desire to play them at all, let alone every year. Go Gators!!!! Ken B.

The question I have a problem with is why we didn't add UM back when the NCAA made the 12th game permanent? We had played UM off and on whenever the goofy prior rule allowed a 12th game. -Zeb On Jun 16, 2010, at 5:40 PM, ken...@earthlink.net wrote: If the schedule fell the right way, it wasn't so difficult to win the championship. Unfortunately, we never managed it (except in '84 and '85, when the lousy hypocrites wouldn't recognize our titles). I think they went to seven conference games in 1990, then eight with the expansion in '92. This is why we had to drop scUM from the schedule. -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us-- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
