Miami would be interesting with old foe Mark Richt there now. Him wanting to show he is still an SEC caliber coach. Also he has a pretty good record against UK.
The offensive scheme for Tech could potentially cause some problems for our D. With the extra time and practices devoted to one game. You would think the coaches could come up with a defensive game plan to stop them.
Myself I would prefer to play Miami. It could help open up recruiting in Florida. The biggest problem is the distance could potentially make it similar to a home game for them.

This by a mile,the cut blocks are not what I want to see our guys play against
Miami doesn't draw that well at home. The BBN would rule in the stands.
Could you imagine the recruiting we could do in Florida with a huge win over Miami.
I honestly don't have the slightest clue on how well Miami packs the stands. But just my assumption that it being a bowl game and relatively close to home would help them draw more fans than their average regular season game.
Relatively close? It's like a 6 hour drive!
The interstates in florida just go on and on to get somewhere. Lived there for 15 years, 3 of which was spent on the interstates.
Yep. Went to Miami from Kentucky this summer and drove. Never again.
Yeah I have a friend that said he drove from Lexington to key west one time.
Yes relatively close. Its roughly 5 hours from Miami to Jacksonville as compared to around 11 hours from Lexington to Jacksonville. I'm also going off the train of thought that not all Hurricane fans have to live in Miami. I would assume they are scattered through the state some closer some farther. Just like UK fans in Kentucky.
I lived in Sarasota for 5 years. Outside of Miami metro, there is no Miami following, and even within the city, they're an afterthought.
We took 40,000 to the Outback Bowl; there's no reason to expect anything less if we're in Jacksonville. We'd easily have a LOT more fans there than Miami.
The drive is around 9 to 12 hours from everywhere in Kentucky to Jacksonville and only around 5 hours from Miami to there. We do have a pretty good following throughout the south though. Miami has historically had poor attendance in their own city and I would bet Jacksonville is loaded up with Gator and Seminole fans with a small population of Hurricane fans. So any advantage they would have with the game being in their own state is virtually nil. Plus you know Kentucky fans love a good bowl trip to Florida. We brought like 40k to Tampa Bay for the Outback Bowl. I have been saying possible TaxSlayer Bowl from the moment we hit 6 wins and hope that I am right.
Not really. Miami fans are much more like UofL...not many fans outside of Dade county and the surrounding area.
Miami vs UK in the gator bowl would be a huge win for UK this season
GaTech would grind out defense like a salt shaker. No thanks. Much prefer Miami
Well. Miami/Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, but yeah.
Taxslayer vs miami would be UNREAL. so great for the program and so, so exciting for the fans and the players. Please let that be it.
We will have thousands and thousands more fans than would Miami. They do not travel to their own stadium, much less to Jax for a middle-tier bowl game.
Agree with others above I want no part of Georgia tech and playing that scheme. Miami would be a dream bowl opponent b/c they're a big name but they're beatable. They are good though, UK would be a sizeable underdog.
I live in SWFL and there are TONS of UK fans that live here. about a 5 hour drive to Jax from Fort Myers
