CLEVELAND, Ohio — A simmering rivalry involving three sports is heating...oops, didn't mean that...warming up.

Ohio State, ranked second in the nation, hosts No. 12 Miami (Fla.) in a big early-season college football game on Saturday afternoon.

Plain Dealer Ohio State beat writer Doug Lesmerises details some of the goings-on between Ohio and Florida teams, beginning with the 1997 World Series between the Cleveland Indians and Florida Marlins, and recently intensified by LeBron James decision to "take my talents to South Beach."

Ohio State defeated Miami, 31-24 in double overtime, to win the 2002 season national championship game, a Buckeye highlight in the growing feud.

Floridians were not happy with that outcome. Lesmerises writes in his story, referring to the photo accompanying this report:

Near the Miami campus, allCanes, a store specializing in Miami apparel, sells a T-shirt that reads "Ohio Stole the Crown in '02" on the front and "Miami Steals the King in 2010" on the back. An employee said in a phone interview Thursday that the shirt has been one of the store's highest sellers, with more than 300 sold so far.
