I pointed out that Miami made seven games and I asked why Florida State could not fill one of the three remaining dates. Renovations to Doak Campbell Stadium were made (partially motivated by keeping the series as a home-and-home), and in 1964, Florida State hosted Florida in Tallahassee for the first time. Three years later, Florida State won for the first time in Gainesville. The series amped up to its highest level of intensity in 1990, which saw the first of 11 straight top-ten matchups between the schools. The remaining friends decided to stay, because leaving a FSU game early is not an option.
