I wonder if it is to replace Texas if they were to join the conference? I thought Florida did not schedule ooc games outside of their region?

You probably misheard and it was really Miami-Ohio, Florida would never travel that far.... :cheer

Who cares? I mean, with Cal's new facilities isn't Cal's mantra now "We play anybody, anywhere, any time".....like FSU........

Nah they specifically mentioned Cal-Berkeley and Florida.

No way. Florida never plays OOC outside the state of Florida.

I doubt its true, but hope it is.

I'm sure they did, needed to make fun of Florida's travel schedule a bit.

Yeah, Florida will agree to a home-and-home with Cal, if Cal agrees that the Tampa Bay Bucs stadium is a suitable replacement for Memorial for their road trip.

I can imagine a neutral game in Dallas or Atlanta. But no way does a home-and-home happen unless Muschamp is super progressive about this.

Just for reference: the last time Florida left the state for a non-conference game was in 1991, against Syracuse. Before that, it was 1983, against USC.

This would be their first time leaving the state in 20 years, and first time west of the Mississippi in 30.

Huge grain of salt.

Like I said: I hope it is true, but doubt it is.

Agreed on both counts.

Ouch. Not surprising for an SEC team

Muschamp's a pretty young guy, and judging by the way he's been at Texas, I doubt he'd care to stick with just staying in Florida. But then again, I doubt the head coach has much say in scheduling. It's more the AD that does it.

Knowing Florida's history, they'd insist on a home and home with Cal's home game being played at the Swamp!

Maybe they can have Chris Martin toss the coin

Maybe, sounds like he won't be busy...

If true that would be awesome.

With each BCS conference getting two bids now, who cares if you lose one OOC?

I kid, but hopefully getting the 4 super conferences will open up some inter-divisional games that were not there before.

There is probably a bit of the Urban Meyer influence - he still has not taken over Ohio State yet - and probably a bit of the thinking that they can take us and still have a win over a good program. SC may actually beat them - why take the chance. They think beating us is a given.

Is there a Berkeley, Florida? Home and home would then make perfect sense for the Gators...

Good for them.

Why not continue to schedule home non-conf games when they can fill up their stadium no matter who they are playing....

no interest in Cal going down there in the September heat...
