FSU clobbered us in the initial game in Nov of 96! Danny Wuerffel got manhandled that day ( not sure how he got up)...anyway there was a rematch in the NC game and the favor was more than returned by the 'ol ballcoach and co. The lack of similarity is that we played in their crib for the 1st game and it was not an SEC match up. BUT..the similarity is in the fact that Bama could come out of this with the last laugh. I wonder if you avid tards who have nothing better to do know how many times there have been rematches in NC games and result?

'96 was the only one I know of. Are there any others?
Oh ya and UF raped FSU the second time

I think there is a distinction that in the case of UF/FSU it was a matchup of #1 vs #3...

FSU manhandled Florida in the first game w/ late hits and roughing the passer penalties. it was clearly their strategy, but not the way the game should be played. Spurrier whined which put the refs on notice, and UF blew out FSU in the rematch.
LSU and Bama was a brilliant chess match that was played straight up. There is no reason the game won't be played exactly the same next time.

You mean by their "playing to the echo of the whistle" strategy? Because they only won the first game 24-21, they didn't clobber us.

Warrick Dunn was also injured in the second game and the FSU backup had been kicked off the team. Dunn willed the Noles to victory in the first game so that also had an effect.
I doubt either team runs the other into the ground like that rematch.
