August 28, 200323 yr that is 1 non-conference rival. Florida would have 2! If Michigan also had a rivalry w/Texas or someone...then I would see no problem with them taking either Notre Dame or Texas off their schedule.
August 28, 200323 yr in the 80's UM would play anyone anywhere including UF, FSU, Michigan, Notre Dame. and now when we're in the Big East we have played Washington, Ohio State in 99, Tennessee, Penn St(they were still kicking a** when we got them the 1st time in '99, nobody thought they would fall the way they did when we got them in 2001), UCLA and FSU and we've played UF

August 28, 200323 yr that is 1 non-conference rival. Florida would have 2! If Michigan also had a rivalry w/Texas or someone...then I would see no problem with them taking either Notre Dame or Texas off their schedule. Michigan has OSU, Purdue, Michigan State, Penn State, and Minnesota all as rivals. They just happen to be in the same conferece. But..... Two of the biggest rivalries in college football are Michigan-Notre Dame and Michigan-Washington. And they play them both, every single year. Same boat as you, and they get the job done. Call good old Lloyd for some lessons on how to plan an effective football schedule.
August 28, 200323 yr that is to make up for a weak conference schedule. Ok, seriously, I discussed this the other day. And I feel like I am repeating myself. So, let's continue this tomorrow or somethin.
August 28, 200323 yr It was different in the 80's, Miami was independent. i know, and i said "now when we're in the big east", read the whole post.
August 28, 200323 yr i know sept 6 will be a blowout no doubt but i agree i hate uga more, and ut, and fsu actually i dont care for um i just dont think they are gods gift to florida like you make em to be theres nothing like the worlds greatest outdoor cocktail party in jacksonville see juanky, i dont call u a p***y, or say um is evil, i just defend my future alma mater so calmn dow, and have a civilized agrument, cause there was a case for both sides it has so much to offer, sold out games, gator growl, traveling, theee best tailgating, a true humble southerny feel. miami wont have rivals in the acc because they are nothing alike, all sec teams are the dirty dirty, so thats why its such a great cnference i also agree um needs uf more than vise versa
August 28, 200323 yr You can tell the Gators in this board don't live with Canes..... I've been amongst Canes, Gators, and Noles since Day 1. My parents both graduated from UM. One of my best friend, the kid I have literally known since I was born (and when I say literally, I mean literally) is a UF fan whose two parents went to UF. Another of my closest friend, a Nole. We are the best of friends, but we have the funnest of debates. The most heated of rivalries is between friends, and the second most is between enemies. Combine them, you have my situation
August 28, 200323 yr in a way i think UM will develop rivalries in the ACC because we're so hated. teams want to beat us bad, mix that with an improving ACC and you can have some nasty rivalries just like we were starting to get with the improving Big East. Pitt could've developed into something real nasty with the pace they're going at along with West Virginia.
August 28, 200323 yr can we all agree FSU sucks?> FSU :angry grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr i wish someone would knock the dude dressed like an Indian off that damn horse one day
August 28, 200323 yr I think UM will develop rivalries in the ACC...but it takes time and history to create a good rivalry. If the ACC teams (not counting VaTech and UM) continue to strengthen and prove that last year (and probably this year) are not flukes, then UM will find themselves in the same boat as UF in the SEC, and realize that they will have their hands full in the ACC, and can't worry too much about non-conference games.
August 28, 200323 yr and I was so hoping that the Criminoles would get put on probation (to join the ranks of UF and UM haha!)...they more than deserve it. Blowden gets away with waaayy too much crap...although I do like his son Tommy...I met him when he spoke at the church I attend in Greenville...nice guy...although he commented on how I needed to gain weight if I am playing college football (even though he frickin said he weighed 140 when he played for WVU!).
