TALLAHASSEE -- The third-ranked Florida State Seminoles are still in the hunt for a national championship.

The seventh-ranked Miami Hurricanes would be grateful for a BCS bowl.

After a first half in which three-touchdown underdog Miami kept the game in reach with two interceptions that led to 14 Hurricanes points, the Seminoles broke the game open midway through the third quarter Saturday and went on to a 41-14 victory.

The largest crowd in Doak Campbell Stadium history — 84,409 — watched Stephen Morris’ second interception of the night, this one grabbed by safety Nate Andrews with 13:11 left in the game, seal the victory. READ MORE HERE

Old Rivals: Miami and Florida State Meet In Primetime Saturday Night

Today I’m traveling to the battle of the undefeated, which will be played out Saturday evening between the University of Miami, ranked 7th, and rival Florida State, ranked 3rd in the nation at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee. 

In the meantime, Georgia Bull Dog fans, in town to watch their team play the Florida Gators at the largest cocktail party in the world in one of the SEC’s most bitter rivalries, overrun my Jacksonville hotel. 

 At the beginning of the season I photographed the Hurricanes quarterback Stephen Morris and running back Duke Johnson for the Miami Herald’s Football Season Preview section. My son Jimmy D assisted me during the portrait session. That called for a bit of time-lapse photography to capture the occasion.

Miami Heat targeted as team seeks championship three-peat

The reigning two-time NBA champions open their season Tuesday night, and their rivals are more motivated than ever to topple them.

Mark Cuban, owner of the last team to defeat the Miami Heat in an NBA Finals, recently uttered the names Micky Arison and Al Davis in the same sentence while comparing Arison’s Heat with Davis’ Oakland Raiders.

Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah has forever called the Heat “Hollywood as hell.”

The Indiana Pacers, which have made losing to Miami in the playoffs an annual event, think the Heat gets away with cheating on defense and believe this so passionately that their coach once paid thousands of dollars in fines to say it publicly. Read more here.

Sunshine State Smackdown! Canes vs. Gators

The gates open at 6:00 AM Saturday for the throng of football fans arriving for the Sunshine State battle at Sun Life Stadium between the University of Florida Gators and the University of Miami Hurricanes.

Unfortunately it will be the last time my two favorite teams will meet for a long time. Miami Herald columnist Linda Robertson calls it “incomprehensible, irresponsible, cowardly and downright party-pooperish”.

Football season is my favorite time of year and this game will be another classic but tonight I’ll be covering the FIU Panthers vs UCF Knights.

Here are few selects from last weeks UM game who defeated the Florida Atlantic University Owls 34-6.

Opinion: While Florida Gators fans are arrogant, Miami Hurricanes own series record

Unlike the fake genteel Southern charm emanating from Gainesville, UM fans are cosmopolitans. And oh by the way, we do own the series record.

What do you call the Gator fan section at Saturday’s UM-UF game?

A full set of teeth.

OK, that was low. But brace yourself nonetheless, Miami: They’re coming. So break out the earplugs to shut out the banjo music. Pinch your nose to block the stench of the moonshine.

Opinion: Miami Hurricanes just a small blip on Florida Gators’ radar

For University of Florida fans, Miami is like the pesky little brother who just won’t go away. Sure, he’s annoying, but we’ve got bigger fish to fry.

We don’t like you, Miami Hurricanes. Really. But we hate so many other people so much more. To the great Gator Nation, you’re sort of like the palmetto bugs scurrying around the kitchen floor after dark: When you force us to acknowledge your presence, we reach for the nearest heavy object to squash you. But we’re really more worried about the tornado (in the form of Nick Saban) blowing off the roof.
