Well now the 2008 reference makes sense, as that's the next calendar year when a 12th game is allowed based on NCAA by-laws. UF isn't the only school talking about the importance of 7 home games in order to generate revenue necessary for running the program, so I give them a pass. This has become an NCAA mantra in recent years.

Playing on a neutral field might be a work-around if they split the gate and concessions evenly. Tampa hosted it once upon a time, and seems a natural fit. Don't know the capacity of Raymond James, however. Isn't it smaller than both UM's and UF's stadiums?

Sadly, however, it may become too difficult for the sides to come together in the future now that UM is finally playing in a tougher conference. I have a feeling that one side or the other will waffle about it based on the brutality of their conference schedules.

AU Tiger, here's a brief history of the on-again and now off-again rivalry between the two schools.

And there's the five-in-a-row thing . . .

GatorJamie, I see that listed under the Favorite Teams part of your profile you have the following: "whoever is playing f$u". Does this mean you're going to be a stork-loving freak on Labor Day? I'm sure Dr. Shalala has a "I Love the Canes" polo shirt for you to wear.

GO CANES!

Nice summary of the series, KWG. Thanks for bringing me up to speed.

Now that is funny!

Dunno who I'm gonna be for. It would be nice if f$u was undefeated when we meet 'em in November, but I just can't bring myself to cheer for them. Those a$$holes cost me $400 the last time I cheered for them against teenysee in the Fiesta Bowl.

Plus, as bobby has pointed out, green is not my color. I'm a Winter. wink

Musings on the Virtual Swamp: if (big IF) the Gators win out and um loses a game or two more, possibility of a Gator-Cane matchup in the Peach Bowl...

Whaddya think of that, KWG?

From GatorJamie What's wrong with this statement? Three years ago, who would have ever thought such a game would take place? GJ, have you checked with Tennessee, I think they have the deed to the Georgia Dome.

I thought you couldn't spell Citrus without UT

LOL, this year we'll be lucky to get to the Stinkyville Bowl. I could give a crap at this point. I'll be watching the games, but with a gallows sense of humor.

Not willing to consider that option just yet. Check with me after the Clemson game this weekend. eek!

Fair enough, KWG. All I'm sayin' is that if your guys sink that low, and if my guys manage to pull it out of their a**, it might make for a GJ/KWG party in Atlanta. Since we'll both be depressed (I woould not expect us to win), we can get Herr Tiggee to host the festivities.

Given his team's fortunes, it's the least he can do.

Ok, but AUTiger has to spend the whole time shirtless . . . and some of the time pantsless.

I somehow double posted. I guess I'm really excited about getting his clothes off.

27-10. See ya in 2008.

Enjoy it now, KWG, 'cuz I suspect that the Gators won't play like they did last night once Urban Meyer arrives..

Dont see the Canes losing 3 games in a year in the next few years either

GO CANES

Agreed completely. Expect a lotta dead wood to be tossed outta The Swamp on Tuesday.

It's 10:10 am, and the Canes still own the Gaytors! Six in a row, baby! (Don't worry, we've tagged the Noles six in a row too.)

Didn't see um on the National Merit Scholars list.

That's ok - didn't expect to.

GJ,
I have two National Merits on my team at UM and one who got 1600 on his SAT's but wasnt a NM finalist. Unfortunately, none of them are from Florida. One from PA, one from Texas and one from Ohio.

But are they cute? wink

i think you would approve..smart and cute..

Yeah, Doc, but what she really wants to know is how are the boobies? eek!

lol - I am a married woman, but I'm still allowed to appreciate art.

sorry GJ, but the girls on my team are easy on the eye but not very top heavy. They are athletes and work out with the trainer for the football team. I am surprised at how much a 5 foot 110 pounder can bench press. They are tough kids. I do have a girl who can throw a spiral 40 yards. Can you top that?

I always thought GJ was a bottom.

My Cousin graduated from UF and is a huge Gator fan, but I grew up in a house where not rooting for the 'Canes would get you a 15 yd personal foul penalty.

KWG what are you thinking? GJ is the biggest and best top on outsports!

Now that's what I call family values.


GO CANES!

Flattery will get you everywhere. FWIW, I'm versatile. :cool:

I could bench your 110-pounder, but she could probably kick my butt.

Having wasted my 1,000th post on some inane basketball smack about Maryland, I hereby use Post #1001 to declare the following:

The Canes rule! Six on the Gaytors and six on the 'Noles (soon to be seven)! The Gaytors are my be-otch in football, basketball and baseball.

GO CANES!

Did someone fart?

I deeply appreciate that KWG used his 1000th post to talk smack on a fading and/or inconsistant basketball team at the bottom of the ACC by a fan of a middle of the road and inconsistant basketball team near the bottom of the ACC. Of course his 1001st post is talking smack on an inconsistant SEC football team by a fan of a middle of the road (ok, third-place) ACC football team. But I am still waiting for my love letter. And VT still rules over UM(iami), even in basketball, and KWG is still my b***h.

I'm licking the stamp right now.

I would make some comment about your ability to use your tongue in various ways, many of which both GJ and I could enjoy (but not at the same time), including stamp-licking, but that would be too easy.

Of course easy is not necessarily a bad thing. wink

UF now kicks the dUMp in admissions, triathlon, tiddlywinks (KWG contribution), and BASEBALL.

Paging KWG... wink

Hmmm, thought this was the football thread, where I'm almost sure the Gaytors haven't beaten the Canes since the 80's.

Six in a row is hard to swallow. Go commiserate with the 'Noles--they know how it feels.

P.S. Don't forget the attendance smack.

JESUS!!! eek! I think we all knew you were a SLUT there KWG, but I didn't realize just how far (or how often) you've gone down!!!!

GJ you have it wrong they aren't dUMp they're scUM

Here you go KWG!

This one's for you Bballrobb

Last year someone posted an obnoxious pic of a um trainer taunting the f$u kicker after yet another Wide-Something. Looks like um gets a taste of its own medicine here. Not nice to look at, but it is what it is...

Edited to add: Caption: "Karma Sacks Berlin After Gator Taunt"

[ February 23, 2005, 05:49 AM: Message edited by: GatorJamie ]

Remember this pic after the Gaytor choke in the OB?

I like the Berlin faceplant better. There were so many more of those.

How's that baseball ranking working out for ya? wink

KWG, The Berlin pic was for bballrobb. Yours was the underwhelming pic of your fans.
Can you say fair weather?
We still had 70,000 + per game even at the end of a terrible season.

Thanks so much for the pic, StPtGator. Of course it is very unsportsmanlike to razz someone when he is down, but I usually make exceptions for Miami. Of course, the next Miami qb will be in the same position many times next year. And I understand certain Miami fans like that position, too....

wink

Yeah, he really sucked, huh? Only went 5-0 for his career against the Gaytors and the 'Noles.

Remember this one?

That was so 2004.

I like this one much better. :cool:

Somehow I suspect you'd trade all the baseball wins (all both of them ) not to have the 20-year losing streak to the Canes in football. Anyone up for a GJ pay-per-view lie detector?

Btw Taureen Charles now blames the media for his keg-throwing antics. Classy guys on the UF campus.

That's ok, ConchBoy. Pretend that the loss doesn't hurt. wink

As for T. Charles, goodbye and good riddance. See, that's how we're different: UF tosses their thugs off the team. dUMp gives them scholarships.
