10. Sebastian the Ibis Gets Detained (1989)
In 1989, Sebastian the Ibis almost got his oversize bird ass thrown in the slammer when he "accidentally" sprayed a fire extinguisher right into the chest of a police officer at Doak Campbell Stadium.

"I heard someone yelling, 'Give me the effing fire extinguisher! Give it to me!'" the mascot later said. "And so I screamed, 'No!' But of course nobody could hear me because I'm in a bird costume.

"As I screamed, I jerked away from him and I just happened to squeeze the trigger, which splashed onto the chest of a Leon County officer, and at that moment I realized, Uh-oh, something is wrong here."

Luckily for Sebastian, the Leon County Police Department let him slide; fill in your own joke here.

9. The Seminoles Rap (1988)
We are the Seminoles of Florida State,
Some say we're good, some say we're great,
Our goal is simple, best in the land,
Rockin' to the beat of the Marching Chiefs band.

And then the Seminoles got their asses kicked 31-0. The defending National Champion Hurricanes were already pissed off about the Seminoles being the top-ranked team entering the season, but this just made shit way worse.

8. The Shootout at Doak (2009)
One of the most underrated games in the rivalry happened in 2009, in a 38-34 Hurricanes win. The game featured a combined 880 yards of offense but was decided by just two, because the Noles couldn't convert at the two-yard line as time expired. The game was a coming-out party for Jacory Harris, who threw for 386 yards and three scores, and it was said to be the moment "the U was back."

Unfortunately for Jacory Harris and Miami, things have been pretty much downhill since then.
