FIU-UM Baseball Series to end in 2008?

[FIUFanatic]

A blurb in Barry Jackson's column on sports buzz, where he details plans for FIU-UM games in different sports, with hoops having already games this and the following season, and football apparently ending this season(at least for a while). The interesting part is that of baseball, where after so many years playing 2 or 3 games a year, they will play 2 games this upcoming season. After that UCG's Morris seems at least un-interested in saying what he wants to do with this rivalry, since it appears his relationship with Turtle Thomas isn't that good.....

• UM and FIU will meet in men's basketball the next two years (at FIU on Dec. 8, at UM early in 2008-09), but the baseball series is in question because of a frosty relationship between UM's Jim Morris and new FIU coach Turtle Thomas, who UM forced out in 1999.

UM will play FIU twice next season. But does Morris want to meet beyond 2008? ''I don't want to comment,'' he said. Hmmm. The football teams will play Sept. 15 to complete a two-game series, but UM said its schedule is booked through 2013.

I really don't care if UM and FIU do not play at all. They did this to us in basketball when Hamilton got pissed off because of a silly sticker: City Champs. Screw them! Let's not play them in basketball, football, track, w-ball and soccer. I'm tired of their arrogance.

And besides, they're going to have to play us at the Regionals! And, then, TT will show them why they shouldn't really play us.

I agree 100% with what you've said jar'.

Didn't they do this to us the year after we beat FSU in basketball? Hahaha...
