It’s not official but it appears the game Saturday, Aug. 24, between Miami and Florida won’t be the last time the two teams will see each other.
According to multiple sources and first reported by Brett McMurphy of the Stadium, the two teams have agreed to play in 2024 and 2025.
Florida will host the first game, Miami the second.
Miami hasn’t played a game at The Swamp since 2008.
Florida and Miami played only six times in the previous 31 years before this game Saturday to be played at Camping World Stadium in Orlando. They will now play three times in six years.
Florida’s 2024 schedule also includes a game at Auburn, where Florida hasn’t played since 2011.
The 2025 schedule includes a game against South Florida, part of a two-for-one series, and a home game against Mississippi State as the crossover SEC West team.
Picking on bigger fish.
Love it!
Depending on how USF is in 5 years, that 2025 schedule could potentially be one of the toughest schedules for any team for as long as I can remember. That would be their typical SEC schedule, with out of conference games being UM, USF, FSU, and then whomever they throw in there that wants a big payday.
Maybe by then it’ll be Miami looking for a big pay day, Corey. I can see it now, load their fan on the equipment bus and head for Hogtown!
fan, huh!
6 was being generous.
Yeah, I figured that if they had a flat tire along the way, he could help the driver change it.
Where will the strippers sit?
Lap Dance!
Oh that. They’ve got standing room on the team bus. Don’t spread the word tho, I have it on good authority from Arnold that ladies are present on here…..so you heathens and knuckle draggers clean it up!
Even though I read it in two articles, the fact that we have only played SCum six times in 31 years floors me. I embrace the description of how one feels about this rivalry, on either side, based on when you became of fan of one of the two programs. Loathing the Ibis makes me believe we have played them way more frequently. The one game I have refused to pay any attention to is fspew vs SCum. If I wish to watch criminoles vs thugs, well, I wouldn’t. That why I don’t pay any attention to their game. Give me three hours of C-Span. And a pint of bourbon. Why totally punish myself?
You could always mow your neighbors lawn……
Phil, ignore Rog…..it’s dangerous to operate machinery after you’ve consumed a brrr bourbon slush! Look closely at your lawn mower, there’s got to be a warning label on that sucker somewhere. (I don’t think that proviso applies to chain saws though — but you’d better ask Gator Ed about that)
The warning probably says something like “Do not attempt to remove blades with engine running”. Here’s your sign!
😂!!!!
Notre Dame V Northwestern?
If that’s the only other game on, yeah, I guess I’ll go over and mow my neighbor’s lawn, switch from bourbon to vodka and Gatorade.
Scheduling Miami is a step in the right direction. Next up, how about home and home series with Clemson, duhOSU, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, and USCw? OK maybe USCw doesn’t belong as they have hit a rough patch in recent years but maybe by the time the games are played, they will have regained their place among the elites. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not complaining about Miami or even USF for that matter. They are games we get excited about seeing. I also thought scheduling Texas was a good move, albeit’s over a decade away, probably long after Mullen and Stricklin have retired or moved on so their job security will not a factor at that point. Yes, I’m saying many coaches and ADs are chickens (aka being political) in general, not just Mullen and Stricklin. They value job security more than what the fans want.
CITIZEN’S ARREST….CITIZEN’S ARREST!!!! SLY MENTIONED POLITICS! CITIZEN’S ARREST….CITIZEN’S ARREST!
LMAO 6!
Doc – Sorry I missed the political party you all had last week before the sheriff showed up and scattered everyone. I know Arnold’s lurking around so hope you don’t tip him off and get me arrested.
Sly: Haha, you good. The politics I called out Saturday originates out of Washington, D.C. Plenty of other sites folks can go for that.
I didn’t do it Sheriff no matter what Doc told you. (Pointing at Doc) Good thing you showed up because he was trying to incite a political riot and lynching of all who opposed the current Gator regime. He also said he would write in Dooley/Andreu for President.
Now just wait a minute, Arnold…….oh hell, I forgot what I was gonna say. I’ll get back with you later.
Hilarious, Gomer-6!
I mean that affectionately, of course!
Sly, playing USCw was a big deal in the early ’80s under “Give’em Hell Pell’s” tenure. The Trojans were in the Top 10 in both games we played, beating them 17 – 9 at home and tying the following season at USC 19-19.
Beating USC was a huge step toward national relevance, playing them on national TV was a big deal both times, and G’ville went bananas over that win.
But I would rather have Miami back on the schedule, shove their hatred for us down their throats.
By the gods,
They shall digest the venom of their spleen
Though it do split them; for, from this day forth,
I’ll use them for my mirth, yea, for my laughter,
When they are waspish!
I’m sure Sean Salisbury still sees Wilbur Marshall in his nightmares!
Yep, just like Troy Smith has night terrors of Earl Everett chasing him down after losing his helmet!
Killbur would hang out at the HUB when I worked there. Said hey to him many times going in to work. Nice guy but I would never want to make him mad at me!
Phil sure knows his Gators and Shakespeare. What a combination!
Alas poor Phil….I knew him well….a fellow of infinite jest!
(He hasn’t come right out and said it, but methinks English is one of the many classes he teaches)
I sure hope you’re wrong about CDM not being here…I get the “modern world” but my heart is Old School!
If CDM makes it to the Texas game, he would have been here about a dozen years, give or take. How many current college coaches have been at their jobs for at least that long?
