Peach bowl and the playstation fiesta bowl. Were going to sit back, find out which game were calling here. But its going to be a wild ride of controversy between now and then.

They have known each other for a as college rivals. Todd its an interesting rivalry, too, as holly touched on it. Florida state, florida wouldnt schedule them for the longest time. And then they were forced to schedule them. The Miami Florida state rivalry is a little bit more respectful. Theres a little bit more bitter feelings in this one, between the seminoles and the gators. The schools are closer together. And the feelings are a little bit more intense between the two schools. Joe for year, wouldnt come here. For the older fans, it means a lot especially. Austin appleby, 14 of 29 tonight, only 109 yards passing. As he cranks this up and gets it complete to lewis.

Some defensive fireworks for the s. Down conversion . Florida state hadnt done that since 1980. Held florida to only 207 yards. Ninth win for the noles, as we send it to Cassidy Hubbarth back in the studio. So long from tallahassee. Thanks, joe. As you heard jimbo just say, the first time thats happened in program history. Welcome into the ford wrapup. And what a rivalry weekend it has been. Headlined by the game, which lived up to the hype and then some. Even if it left one coach bitterly disappointed. Especially since we saw the first ever overtime between michigan and ohio state in their 113game history. It was in front of a recordsetting crowd at the shoe on pins and needles until the very last snap. Ohio state tied it up o. T. First and goal, j. T. Barrett keeps it himself.

Tonight sorrow and celebration are filling streets in the wake of the death of fidel castro. Right now cuba is in a nineday state of mourning. Events in the small island are shut down as the nation comes to terms with its first days without the in little havana, miami, joyful demonstrations and cheers continue to flood the streets. And as jim ryan reports from miami, castros death has unleashed a torrent of mixed emotions. Jim in havana tears for the people of cuba, he was everything says this man. In miami, cheers. Thank you, god. Emotions. To many a heroic liberator. To many a tyrant. He shot his way to power in 1959 overthrowing a proamerican dictator and then duclairing cuba a communist state. Castro was a thorn in washingtons side in 1962 american spy planes had left the russians install missile in cuba. The world yes, we were very close to the nuclear war, extremely close. The russians removed the missiles as he told Barbara Walters in 1977, fidel castro made no excuses for his heavy hand. No decent or opposition is allowed in the public media. I could say honestly no. As much of the world hailed a fallen comrade century. They were dancing the streets of miamis little havana. He was a sadistic murderer who brought great suffering to the 11 Million People of cuba. This was the first sunrise over post castro cuba. No one knows if this means a new day. Jim ryan, miami. Cherise president obama released a statement, saying the cuban peopl they have a partner and friend in the United States. He has worked to establish relations with cuba. But donald trump said fidel castro is dead. And in a later statement called him a brutal dictator. The question now is what will happen in cuba after castros death . One analyst says that reopening of his death could play a role of how that nation evolves. The more that they are exposed to americanning and the different sectors from commercial sector, think tanks, academic academics, a whole range of americans, the more cubans are going to start saying, why not us . Why cant we have this . Why cant we have this way of life . And here in New Hampshire, a religious leader says it could mark the beginning of change for cuba but it could take time. Wmur mike this reverend has been to cuba on religious reasons. He wasnt sure if castros death was true because there have been many premature announcements of his death. For the reverend, cuba is part of who he is. I fell in love with cuba in my 20s. He spent a year there as sem extor. And recently from the rotary club. We have build relationships. In recent years theyve installed water purify cation systems providing safe drinking water. His family also lives in cuba. I had wanted to continue my relationship with cuba just to give the people a sense that someone does care about them. Its a very isolated. Its says he doesnt celebrate anyones death. But many people think its a sign. Conventional wisdom almost is always wrong. Any sense that this will automatically bring about a change, i dont think thats the case. Things move very slowly with cuba. Hes already noticed some changes since cuba and the United States reestablished diplomatic relations last year. Using facebook. For many years this was called fidelismo, one does not know what the future will hold. I hope for the beginning of a lasting change and peace thats my hope and prayer today. Pendleton spends about a week at a time in cuba. And he plans to flurn the future. Mike con cherise we have more reaction on fidels castros death and the details on the observations on underway in cuba.
