Miami beat South Florida in their 1st meeting in Miami in '05. The 2nd of the 2 gm set is sceduled for Tampa 9/26/09. ESPN has now stepped in to suggest they'll televise a Miami-SoFla 4 game set if they'll play on Thanksgiving weekend from 2010 til 2013. The Hurricanes & Bulls already had an early season 2 gm series set for '12 & '13 so they moved those 2 gms back to Thanksgiving weekend &, viola, added 2 season enders for '10 & '11.
On the surface, this appears to be a magnificent move by the U of Miami, South Florida, The ACC, The Big East, Miami, Tampa & ESPN. Those ESPN guys are always thinking:biggthumpup:. It's a 'can't lose' situation as a series, but making it a season ending, Thanksgiving weekend, final game is a stroke of genius. My guess is that it becomes such a success the series will continue for a long, long time.
