Would love to see them brave a cold Ohio winter for a showdown with my Miami Redhawks. Or are the gators too scared of a little snow??
Yes, must be?
Maybe South Carolina can oblige your request ?
Florida does have a good “Club Team” that would give the Birds a run for their money.
Women vs men’s meets aren’t official in NCAAs.
Funny. Pretty sure Miami has some ladies such as Maier that could give UF girls a run for their money in almost any event. Her times from MACs would have placed in A final at NCAAs!
