Will Florida find their way onto a BG Schedule in the Future

I wonder if this will even be tossed around. I don't know if Florida will be so bold as to even consider it, but I would like to see BG playing Florida in the Swamp. (NO way Florida travels to BG!)
Larry Smith while coaching Mizzou was the one of the reasons BG played Mizzou and even got Mizzou to travel to BG, so my hope is that Meyer pushes Florida's AD to try to schedule BG.
Anyone else out there that would like to see this?

I'd love to see it. But I doubt it. Urban's got so much on the line down there (now that he's with a "real" team), that he wouldn't risk it against us. He knows the kind of damage that we can do, and UF has been having some down years of late by their standards. Imagine if UF lost out on a BCS game, because of a non-conf. loss to a mid-major. Not going to happen, esp. now that one I-AA will count every year.

i was just thinkin this exact same thing... i posted it under that national championship thread. a shot at urban meyer would be awesome... but like u said, doubtful, unless its something that meyer is already interested in.

I don't think it would happen but if it did, I'd be there. My aunt lives in Gainesville and my uncle, who passed away a year ago, was the housing director at UF for years.
There sure would be a lot of orange on the field.

Based on the Bowling Green anecdotes I've read since his departure, I get the feeling he doesn't look back on his Bowling Green years so fondly that this would be a big priority for him.
Pure speculation. I've never met the man who now coaches Florida.

Yeah it seems like he never really speaks high of us and I will never speak highly of him. Urban Meyer looks out for himself and himself only.

That is true...he really does look out for himself.
So I really doubt to see Utah on Florida's schedule anytime soon either. 8)

Couple of things...
I have heard Urban speak nicely of BG stating they were the first place to give him the opportunity to be a head coach.
Also, the Smith connection is a little closer to the heart considering this alum of Buckeye Boys State played for Doyt Perry and attended BGSU. . .

Mathmetitians have tried, without success, to find a low enough number to describe the chances Fla. will play either Utah or BG on the regular schedule again.
They have been forced to say "zero," but again, they are attempting to find a lower number.
