I have been a huge Hurricane fan since 1961 when George Mira was the Canes QB. My sister graduates from FSU and two of my nephews also graduated from FSU.But FSU has never beaten an elite UM and won a championship in the same season. All 3 FSU championships were in UM down seasons. How many times did UM beat an elite FSU back in the rivalry's hayday?
So we have had this college football rivalry for years in our family. Yet I have never disliked FSU but merely root for UM when the two teams play.
As far as your comment that FSU won their championships in the years UM were having down years. It certainly wasn’t FSU‘s fault that UM was not that competitive in those years they won those championships. If UM not being competitive was the only reason FSU won championships, FSU would have a lot more than 3 national championships.
Miami really hasn’t been a top tier college football team for 20 years. Hopefully that will change in the coming years but I have to give FSU credit for rebuilding their football program much faster than UM has been able to rebuild their program.
