While there has been a deep seeded dislike for decades between the athletic teams for both the FSU Seminoles and the rival Miami Hurricanes – especially when it comes to the big sports like football and baseball – there tends to be much more of a respect in place between the schools than between each program and, let us say, the Florida Gators for example.
When something bad strikes the programs, there tends to be a level of concern in place – such as what took place early Thursday morning when former Miami defensive tackle Kendrick Norton suffered what would safely be called a career ending injury in a rollover car crash in Northwest Miami-Dade County.
