Miami Mocks Florida State Over Power Outage Delay
Miami's official social media account took a jab at Florida State after a power outage delayed the Seminoles' game against SMU by nearly two hours. The Hurricanes posted that they won't face such a delay before their own matchup with Florida A&M on Thursday. The two in-state rivals are scheduled to meet in October.
The power failure occurred before Florida State's Monday night game against SMU, delaying the scheduled 7:30 p.m. ET start by nearly two hours. Miami's official account used the incident to post about their own Thursday matchup with Florida A&M, noting they would not face a similar interruption.
The two in-state rivals are set to meet in October. Florida State will have a chance to respond to the Hurricanes' online taunt when they face off later in the season.
This playful jab could intensify the existing rivalry between the two programs, potentially boosting fan engagement and social media interaction leading up to their October meeting. It may also highlight how logistical disruptions like power outages can affect game-day experiences for spectators and broadcasters, though the lighthearted nature suggests it will likely remain a minor subplot rather than a significant controversy.
