I couldn't wait to post this so it's coming a day early. Gators suck, have sucked, and will continue sucking in the future until the end of time. Get hyped. We agree with the guys at Sebastian's Pub, there's just no way in **** we're gonna put their logo on our site without defacing it first.
Pretty sure he had college football in mind when he said that. If not then he should have. It's rivalry games like UF/UM that make Saturdays so special. The NFL is pretty excited about this game too. According to UM's Chris Yandle, 12 NFL teams have sent scouts to attend the game (14 scouts total were credentialed).
It's complete bull**** that this will be the last meeting in the foreseeable future, but it's whatever. Gators gonna Gate I suppose. Check out what Mark Long, who is a Gator beat writer for the AP, had to say about it. According to this guy, UM should be be thankful we're getting this game at all:
I pointed out to him the points made in this thread. Like that Alabama does the same thing, and Jeremy Foley has never written letters of apology regarding seats for games in Tuscaloosa. His response was:
Folks, that guy works for the Associated Press. Unreal. And just for future reference, when people on this message board and others, rip our beat writers for asking ****-hole questions, taking cheap shots at the program, and writing stories that put UM in a bad light...this is how beat writers of other teams operate. You'll never see **** like this being printed in the Gainesville Sister-****** Intelligencer.
We have to win this game. Ignore anyone that says otherwise.

4 storylines for UM in this game:
1. Can Miami's offense produce against a legit defense?
2. Can Duke be Duke again?
3. Will Miami's OL protect Morris from UF's pass rush?
4. Is Miami's defense really better than last year?
For all the success the offense had last season, they couldn't do a **** thing against good defenses. Florida St. was able contain us and pulled away in the second half, while Kansas St. and Notre Dame ended up being blowouts. Duke's had his troubles against top defenses as well, so we'll need the nation's leading rusher to keep producing.
Want an interesting stat about Stephen Morris and sacks that Tim Reynolds found? In 4 career games against ranked teams, he's been sacked 11 times. He's been sacked 12 times in 20 games against unranked teams. It reinforces the importance of keeping his jersey clean against the likes of Powell, Bullard, Easley, and Fowler. Finally, Florida might not have the most potent offense in their conference, but we won't be holding them below 300 yards of offense like we did FAU, so we'll need to see if the defense really is better than last year.
Last time they met:

Two things about that game. First, Matt Bosher 4-Life. His two Tazplexes of Brandon James cemented his status as a cult favorite for Cane fans. Secondly, that still wasn't a catch. That pathetic wideout never held on to the ball. Whatever.
What people were saying during the subsequent meltdown:
We weren't around for this game in 2008, so I once again turned to CanesOverHere for reference.
This comes from a thread titled: Fire Pat Nix at halftime
DCF in LA said:
Jesus, was Pat Nix ever awful or what?
Know your enemy: Alligator Army
What they're saying:
Some ******* said:
1. It's all about the Duke.
2. Golden says players can't freelance against Florida.
3. Brock Berlin will be the honorary captain at the game today.
1. Jeff Driskell says their offense has big play potential.
2. Florida's defense thrives on 3rd down.
3. AD Jeremy Foley says UF/UM series can only continue as a neutral site game.
