Annual Rivalry-USF/UM

[Mama_Bull]

News from Greg.  It would be awesome!!!!!

-- In case you missed it: We had a short note in Friday's paper, saying that news of a Thanksgiving-week series between USF and Miami could be announced within the next month. A Miami official told the Times that "hopefully" an announcement can be made by then -- the two teams are already on the books for games in 2009, 2012 and 2013, and there's openings on both schedules to allow for November meetings in 2010 and 2011. The series is something Jim Leavitt has wanted for USF for a while and would be something of an undercard to UF-FSU in a big rivalry weekend for the state's top football programs.

[move]This is FREAKING AWESOME!!![/move]

If this does come to fruition... *KNOCK ON WOOD* ... it would give USF more credibility.  

Have to see how the UM people feel...

Im sure UM fans will NOT be doing flip of joy, to them we are an up and comming progrm but not to their levels. Now IF we beat them in 09 with Grothe as a sr it will send a complete new message across the state and could develop into a very good rivalry. But first we MUST beat them,until we win we will be looked down as just another name on their schedule

Absolutely true Cuban.  It will, however, be a good OOC game to be able to count on having regularly.  I know we will have out hands full with UM, but that's the only way to advance in the rankings.
