Neither are scared.

It's all about the $.

I was actually kidding, as I have no dog in the fight.

My statement was just to point out (later) that when one won't play the other, depending on which side you ask, the other is scared. Ask Texas and A&M fans lately. Although, I'd side with a&m right now, even if I would t say Texas is "scared", it is most certainly their decision.

Well yeah. Salsa is a Cane fan, of course he would say that. I was messing with him in turn, even though I'm not a gator "fan" so to speak.

Sadly no. Miami has been afraid to play them yearly.

Sorry, but Miami's on record of wanting it to be an annual game. Back when the SEC went from 7 to 8 conference games, Florida dropped the annual series, in order to be able to schedule another easy OOC game.

Well Florida plays in the sec. Miami plays a much weaker schedule in conference. Then and now. In any case, my post was in jest.

That said Miami would have far more to lose if they came to play yearly considering recent success. I'd love to see it, however to say that any of these storied programs is scared, is ridiculous.

Exactly. I mean they, as in the Gators, play FSU every..and like I said, FSU plays Miami every year. I HIGHLY doubt money is the issue.

Considering their record, they would fair bad...BUT, the only way you get better is playing those teams IN your state the ones stealing recruits from your back yard(well, in reality, i feel more have gone to FSU from down here than to UF).

Ok, not scared, how about going for the easier win than having the balls to play someone tougher?

Home game every year instead of every other year means a lot more $.
Very laughable when I hear any fan base talking how this school is scared to play that school.
All about the revenue my friend.
Nothing more. Nothing less.

Not when the annual match was dropped. Miami was an independent then, playing in the National Championship game frequently. Sorry, but Florida is known for having weak OOC schedules. It's one of the reasons I hated it when McGarity came to Georgia from Florida, first thing he did was agree to cancel the Ohio St. home & home series.

starting linebacker Antonio Morrison has been suspended from the team after his second arrest in barely more than a month.Gainesville Police say Morrison approached an officer's vehicle at the scene of a disturbanceearly Sunday morning and began barking at a police dog.

Maybe he was just mad from losing to the Dawgs last year

Hmm, didn't know you could be arrested for barking at an animal ...

I think there's more to it than that.

Confirming rumors that had been circulating since Sunday morning, Ohio State has dismissed running back [URL="http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/players/190569"]Carlos Hyde

after a weekend altercation that resulted in him allegedly striking a female.
>
The dismissal comes after a long summer for Urban Meyer, a period in which Florida tight end Aaron Hernandez's murder investigation caused many to reevaluate the long list of arrests that occurred while the Buckeyes coach was in Gainesville. I'm not sure how Meyer could take any blame for the Hyde incident, as he didn't recruit the tailback to the program and dismissed him almost immediately after the incident took place.
Meyer dismissed linebacker Storm Klein last summer after he was charged with domestic violence,but reinstated him after Klein was found guilty of a lesser charge. I would guess if the claims against Hyde end up being untrue, he could find his way back on to the Buckeyes' roster as well.

At least Meyer suspended him, as opposed to covering thing up like his predecessor. Shows that Ohio St. is moving forward on that front.

"Moving forward"
I don't think that is what Florida called it after he dismantled the football program and then left.

This report is incorrect ...
He has NOT been dismissed from the team.

Hyde has been suspended until results of the charges are determined.
