Al Blades Jr., son of Miami Hurricanes legend Al Blades and U recruit from class of 2018, decided to reignite the famous Miami-FSU rivalry. There is little that needs to be be said about the two schools’ hatred for one another – enough of it was documented in both The U documentaries.
But the audacity to visit a college campus, go to the school’s 50-yard line and throw up the rival’s sign is quite surprising. However, University of Miami’s football program has a deeply loyal fanbase and it is hard to picture Al Blades Jr. going anywhere else. Still, no one could have expected him to do this.
This is why the U will always wonderfully play the bad guys. Let’s just hope the team, which has been riddled with NCAA infractions over the years, could return to form. They were 6-7 last season and have not won a bowl game since 2004 under Larry Coker.
