Florida State’s Oldest Rivalry

Unbeknownst to many, the FSU’s oldest football rivalry is with the University of Miami, not that other institution southeast of Tallahassee in Hogtown. While UF was refusing to agree to a game against the Seminoles, the Hurricanes agreed to host FSU in 1951, just five years after FSU became a co-ed university.
