I'm an old timer Gator and I not only am aware of the Seminole War Canoe. but want it back now. Miami used to be a great rivalry and we actully had played them more than any other foe other than UGA and Auburn. Before the series was canceled, we actually held the lead in the series 25 - 22 games. It has been since the series was canceled that they have not lost to us. If we had played every year, we would have beaten them more than they beat us. We have only played them when we were bad and they were good since 1987. We only played them once while Spurrier was coaching us regular season and got them in the Sugar Bowl the year before they won their last MNC. Under the Zooker fiasco we got them 3 times, 2 regular season..... 2002 & 3 and in the Peach Bowl (Chic Fil A??) 2004 and lost all of them. One of our GatorNews poster posted a good article by Pat Dooley regarding this. I want the Canoe back in G'ville!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm surprised UCLA isn't number two after that fabulous win over the national champion Tennessee Volunteers. Buddy Martin mentioned the Seminole War Canoe that has been the trophy of the Florida/Miami champion since 1959. Has anyone ever heard of it? I guess it has been in Miami since 1986.
