Florida vs. Florida State in Atlanta?


Interesting. Really, that was the only word we could think of when we came upon this story. Though it may be something that never happens, the subject has now been broached...at least by Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher and the folks representing the Chick-fil-a Kickoff Classic.

Check out what the Orlando Sentinel had to say about it RIGHT HERE

It is an intriguing idea. We know from our familiarity with Gary Stokan and the folks on the Atlanta Sports Council that they are aggressive and trying to promote the biggest game they possibly can. We also know that they are trying to stick to the ACC vs. SEC premise of the game.

Florida and Florida State do play each other during the season...but at the end of the season. Part of coach Fisher's idea is the thought that the loss wouldn't hurt the loser early in the season and lately that loser has been FSU.

We know that there would be a lot of money involved. We know that both schools have extraordinarily large Booster clubs in the metro Atlanta area. And we know that the game would be a guaranteed sell-out, most college football games at the Georgia Dome are.

We also realize that this may never happen, it just may be a dream for Jimbo Fisher. We do however agree with his thought process and think that it would be a really cool way to kick off the College Football season.

Here is the intro that CBS Sports came up with for last years game as voiced by OSG Favorite Vern Lundquist. Thanks: CBSSports and You Tube
