🏈 September 21st, 1991, at Syracuse: the last time Florida played a non conference game outside the state of Florida.

Very interesting fact. I’m assuming this doesn’t include neutral site games. When was Bama’s most recent? I was at the game at Duke in 2010. I think Penn State was in 2011. Can’t remember other recent ones.

We’ve played 4 in the last 20 years. Oklahoma in 2002, Hawaii (in place of a bowl game in 2003, I think that was a boondoggle), Duke in 2010, and Penn Stare in 2011.

It doesn't: they opened up against Michigan in Arlington four or five years ago.

That is one of those statements you should just respond “So?” to.

I don't know.

Consider we heard for years how Bama isn't playing OOC teams and then we enter the '08 season and the neutral site game era began. A few years removed from that Clemson game and it's "Bama doesn't play home and home" with teams sparked by Barry Alvarez talking about how they wouldn't play Alabama at a neutral site but would if they played in Madison.

Here, with UF, we don't see anywhere close to the neutral site games (number played) and we don't see home and home.

To me it's funny how we see these arbitray "ain't played nobody" rules applied to one but not the other.

Perhaps I should have qualified that statement with “To me”. However you did explain the reasoning that “to me” would make me go So? Somebody is always going to grumble and complain regardless.

Nope. Never seen such happen, anywhere.
