FSU vs. Miami

[Captain Sasquatch]

Looking forward to Miami being a perennial 8-9 win team with a couple boneheaded losses every year.

Beating FSU was their shot at the championship game. Do they still have a shot?

That game was off the Richt-er

Well ... that was a bantamweight slugfest ? 20-19 FSU wins by blocking the extra point.
When a blocked PAT occurs, I always wonder why not kick from 5 yards further back ?
Hate hearing any Jimbo interview after a lucky success. Francois seems skilled & tough &
a reliable leader.

PS>> UK beat Vandy ... and look what we did to UK ... common opponents don't relate straight?

At least the blowhards made a game of it at the end. I racked out at the beginning of the 4th with the fsu QB on fire and the game going quickly downhill.

It'll always be Joe Robbie to me. #StadiumNamesMatter

I thought it still was

Miami fans chunking stuff onto the field... gotta love it...

scUM will never will be a real college team. I hope we never play them in S. Fla again.

Phan, were you around for the '80 game at Florida Field won by Miami? Schellenberger ordered a meaningless FG while up 28-7 with only a few minutes left after our fans pelted the Miami bench with frozen oranges. Man, was that dude hot in the locker room afterward.

Not doubting the legitimacy of this story, but where did they get frozen oranges during a football game?

Yeah, like they were all bringing mini-freezers to the game. I was at the game on assignment with the Sun and specifically remember oranges being involved, though not frozen ones. Doesn't make particular sense that frozen oranges would hold up in the heat, but that's how the story goes 36 years later, after many, many iterations.

I was there. Shoulda thrown grapefruits.

BTW, the significance of oranges was to sarcastically feat Miami for earning a berth in the Orange Bowl after many down years.

I'm really not sure why the blood was that bad between the two schools. Miami was hardly ever relevant prior to the '80s.

That was one of the few games I got to go to as a child. I only got to go if mom didn't want to go or couldn't go for some reason. Anyway, I remember asking my dad why the fans were throwing oranges on the field. I think his answer was something like "they're congratulating Miami for making it to the orange bowl". My dad was always one of the "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all" people. I still try, but often fail, to follow that same rule. We got a poster or two around here that could stand to learn that rule.

Okay, guys, my bad. It was tangerines, not oranges. Miami was going to the Tangerine Bowl. That's what 36 years will do to your memory.

1980 - Miami 31, Florida 7.The Hurricanes, behind quarterback Jim Kelly, were routing the Gators at Florida Field when UF fans started tangerines (as in Tangerine Bowl-bound) at the UM sideline. Schnellenberger was livid, so the UM coach summoned placekicker Danny Miller to tag a run-it-up field goal on the home team -- with one second to play. The crowd booed unmercifully as the Canes left the field.

I recall a game at the Orange bowl where their cheerleaders were carrying bedsheets with "Florida Gators are mastubators" and "F*ck the Gators"...on the sidelines. Can you even fathom any other school's cheerleaders doing that other than scUM?

Hahaha. Soaped up windows outside Tampa Stadium for the '84 game:

AIDS IS A CANE IN THE ASS

KOSAR IS A QUEER

Remember Jim Kelly wearing a tshirt in the post game presser...Gators eat boogers?

No I don't, although I should. I interviewed him and wideout Larry Brodsky in the UM locker room afterward. Kelly was a real stand-up guy.
