Does Fla have to lose Saturday in order to restore the rivalry?

sounds stupid i know but it's a legit question. after six years, it gets boring to me. not that i want to see them lose, it's just if they do, it stirs up a better atmosphere going into next year knowing the stakes are higher when we play in Neyland.
i remember the last lost when they played in Neyland cause of the personal foul call that should have been offset. not that it matters, but if it was offset, the clock would have kept ticking down before the punter had to kick it leaving less time for Ainge to get into field goal range. i couldn't wait til the next year in '05 when meyer came in and won in the swamp.
FOR THE "TL:DR" PEOPLE: is it boring to you or are you satified with it?

I think the ruled TD catch that gave Florida the win, off sets this penalty call.
Yes UT does need to win to restore the rivalry

It's not boring to me at all, but it def lacks The luster it once had
I'm really hoping we have returned to the days of year in year out I'm counting the days until this game. I've been doin that this year for the first time in a long while

The rivalry won't be 'restored' until the teams are both going into the game with SEC title aspirations. That's the only reason the game was a rivalry in the first place.

This. Its not a traditional rivalry, it spawned organically out of the stakes involved in the game in the 90s. It's a game that has to have high stakes to be a rea rivalry.

The last 4 years have been a bit meh. But UF has been winning the games by 10 or more points. I don't think UT will have to win to get the rivalry going again, just get the games close, like they were in 05 and 06.

Disagree. The only reason I'm looking at the Florida game different than the South Carolina game this year is because the 6 game streak.

Love beating the Vols, it doesn't get old for me.

I hate Rocky Top enough to hate Tennessee every time they score.
As long as they score there will be a rivalry.

They play that terrible shite after 3 yard gains....

For the game to be considered a true rivalry there has to be wins and loses by both teams through the years.
Streaks, such as this, don't make for a good rivalry.
I laugh when they say the cocktail party is a rivalry. UGA has beaten UF less than we have going all the way back to 1990. (97, 04, 07)

Well, I always think this as well then game week comes and they play the Lindsey Scott play 400 times. Beating UGA never gets old, especially until we tie up the series.

We need to win some of the damn games to get the rivalry back, and also both teams fighting for the SECCG.
I think UF gets us this year, as we are young and still a year off. However, next year, we will be back working the Catalina Wine Mixer, snapping necks and cashing checks.
Looking forward to seeing what Bray does in his first true road game in a hostile environment.
