Fl State Vs. "Bama to play at Alltel

[RiversideGator]

Great News! I love to bring in these big time football games to Jacksonville. We now have the FL-GA game, ACC Championship, the Gator Bowl, Jaguars games, the past Super Bowl, and the FSU-Alabama game. This brings many people downtown and fills up our hotels downtown thereby increasing the demand for more hotels. And, it increases our profile nationwide, especially among affluent football fans. A win-win.

[Florida]

Thats right people! The Noles are comin' to town!

[95-Souf]

Great news,. as long as they beat the brakes off those Noles every year lol.

I would have liked to see Miami/FSU like they originally wanted some years back. But who would we beat in the Orange bowl every other year!

Miami needs to learn how to win in the ACC before they worry about that other stuff. They're not in the Big Least any more. My Noles did beat Miami this year so it's all to the good.

[Florida]

That's what I'm talkin bout afh!! Tell'm! The Big Least! LOL! Virginia, Wake Forest games made Boston College and Miami seem like cake walks for the Noles this year. But every year is different.

One lesson, these schools in the ACC have been abused by FSU for years, and they aren't playing anymore.

As far as Alabama goes, FSU Athletic Director, an Alabama Grad, has been trying to get this matchup for years. They'd better get beat if they're gonna roll themselves into Florida. We have to defend this turf. By then Drew will be a Junior/Senior and the rest of the team with a bit more seasoning on them too... I'm more comfortable. But Bama sure has bounced back from a few years ago haven't they! No more probation, and they're making teams pay.

Jacksonville seems to be becoming a football mecca. It can only mean good news for downtown liveliness.

I hope that the game will remain year after year.

Did UM take last year off?

[bobliocatt]

No they self destructed enough to allow Florida State to finally back itself into a win.

[Florida]

Let's not give Miami all of the credit... both teams have done some self destruction... FSU more than I'd like.

[bobliocatt]

Yes, they have. I'll never forget the game a couple of years ago that Greg Jones rushed for over 200 yards, FSU had a big lead late in the 4th quarter and Miami came storming back with two quick touchdowns to win 28-27.

[Florida]

Tons of those close losses in these past few years.
