**** the noles. What happened today?
They will.whoa now.
For me, it's only exceeded by the gator. They're even farther removed from when we played them annually. They don't remember:I’m convinced a lot of it is generational. For those of us who grew up in the early 80’s hating the Criminoles is a way of life, a badge of honor. These kids that started watching Miami these last 20 years or so will never understand the ire and disdain we have for that school because they never got to experience the wars/battles we had with them. It doesn’t help that I moved from south Florida to north Florida in the early 2000’s so now I’m around these idiots every day. Every Saturday I have two simple wishes: A Miami win, and a Semenhole loss. It’s that simple. If those two things happen it’s been a blessed day. I once owned a hat for almost every ACC team so I could taunt FSU fans when they were playing them(true story). The depths of my hatred towards FSPoo knows no bounds, and that’s something this younger generation will never truly understand.
If you pull for Fsu you’re suspect. If it’s not Gatuh you pull for the Noles opponent
If FSU's only loss is to us, they will have an amazing recruiting class. We won't flip anyone from them. They will be a more difficult competitor on the trail. This isn't even a question.
If you're rooting for them to win, you're happily running the risk that they are undefeated if we don't manage to beat them.
Total insanity. Only our fanbase.
They didn’t need us good to make noise and win a natty. And we don’t need them.I disagree completely. It's a rivalry. It doesn't matter what the rankings are, what matters is we beat them. I don't care to see them succeed...I care to see us beat them... that's the BEST thing for this program in many ways.
Prove me wrong
Facts, but both of us can be right. BecauseIf FSU's only loss is to us, they will have an amazing recruiting class. We won't flip anyone from them. They will be a more difficult competitor on the trail. This isn't even a question.

Kentucky will give Georgia a game.
Got it. We need fsu but they don’t need us.Miami vs FSU, top 5 to 10 matchup, Miami wins. That is the BEST thing that can happen for this program this year, for a number of reasons.
Thanks
That's true.Facts, but both of us can be right. Because
if Miami does manage to beat a highly ranked FSU team “this year” ,
EVERY SINGLE Miami fan on this board, including you, will point to that game as one of the justifications for why Miami should get into the playoffs. It is also a game we will point to for why Miami is a valuable take in realignment. Yes, I believe millions if viewers on prime time tv watching Miami is a positive and a win, well that would change the perception (currently not respected) of the program .
Its the same reason folks are posting about Texas A&M being 4-1. We hate Jimbo just as much as we hate the Noles because he is a Nole but we are happy that the win vs them is of quality.
But FSU is literally our only opportunity for that this year. Im not pulling for FSU at all, but considering I think we can finish the season in CFP talks, I'd much rather beat FSU while they're highly ranked than beat them when they arent.That's true.
I'd also point to any opponent ranked highly for justification, as well as our won/loss record.
I may be way too riled up about this, but FSU is- amd has been- our most direct competitor program for decades.
If we MUST play them when they're nationally competitive, so be it, and bring it on. But actually pulling for that scenario, never.
