It will be a cold day in Hell before ECU ever helps USF. There is just not love between the two programs right now. They hate us'!!!!

Meh, leans towards indifference.  

I wonder how many picked a Navy v Temple CCG before the season started.  My guess would be 3.5.

Haha ECU would get crushed by navy 

Maybe, doesn't make what I said any less true.  We'll find out 11/19

Remind me, when was the last time you guys beat Navy?

Remind me how that matters.  It was 2011 anyway.  

Navy is collectively the slowest team I have seen play yet this year, especially their defense.  Slow motion all game.  

I like the effort put into the analysis.  The rankings themselves are pretty biased.  Let's call it subjective and appreciate the work put in though!  Temple is, at worst, 4th.  USF is at best 5th.  ECU is at best 12th at this point.  SMU needs to build off their win to deserve the spot they are at.  UCONN is not a bad team at all.  Not so sure about Tulane.  They aren't bad considering they are the next to worst team in the league-although kind of enigmatic just like UCF.  They could be very good or could be quite bad.

huh?

SMU, ECU, UConn

That's still impressive.

You all missed the point of conversation, or have too short of a memory to recall why UCF came up in the first place.  I couldnt care less about them, it began in reference to several of you crowing about how great you were in areas that stats suggested otherwise.  I didnt even bring up UCF.  You did.  I merely countered some of your falsehoods with stats that were relevant to the teams you mentioned.  I look forward to a high scoring game this week, I have said all along I don't expect a victory.  ECU isn't trash as some have speculated though.  We had the highest scoring offense in the AAC going into last week and against decent competition (rated higher SOS that USF).  You guys are supposed to win, but I expect a lot of points.  

1) USF

2) 47-35

3) Mack

4) Adams

5) 475

special teams account for some points, thinking a KO TD, blocked punt, etc.

I was giving UCF the benefit of the doubt. Neither of us have played a hard schedule, but ours has been harder than UCF. 

No it hasn't, UCF's is 48th, USF 67.

UCF's running game superior to USF's??? LMAO! I think after your game with us on Saturday you will have a different perception. 

I do believe it is, but upon further look, it seems the Bulls have 90 total more rushing yards than UCF-so you have that.  That said, their SOS is 48th in the country, yours is 67th.  Also, their rushing defense is 33rd in the country, yours is 110th.  I personally believe they will run all over you, like most everyone else has.  Now, the question is, how well will your running game do against one of the best running defenses in the country? If you win that game, it will be in the air imo.  

Calling people stupid because they disagree is childish, and reflects poorly upon your fanbase.  There is objective reasoning to believe X running game is better than Y running game in this case, I even posed a reasonable way to beat the X team.

Yeah Killins is ridiculous as a true freshman, reminds me a lot of Mack's rookie year. They also have a stable of RBs.... kind of reminds me of USF actually. I bet that game in November will be good.

Mack is very good.  Their running game is superior in quality and depth though.  They have 4 rbs that could start.  Killins is one of the fastest in-play runners I have ever seen.

They said Cincinnati would be tough game to. Temple beating SMU at home tells me absolutely nothing about them. 

They said that before knowing how the team would be this year.  It turns out that Cincy is not very good and in the midst of falling off the AAC cliff.  Tulsa looks better than them.

Not sure who's gloating, but if you're looking for sympathy for ECU or UCF then you're in the wrong place. Just like I wouldn't go to ECU's board and complain about people's posts about a USF loss.

Have you read this thread? In what world does pointing out relative deficiencies equate to seeking sympathy? You are troubled, aren't you?

I think we have the slight edge in being the second best team in the conference next to Memphis, but you could argue that USF is #3. I think most people in here are just pumped, because USF hasn't been good enough for #2-3 in the conference in a long time, even though we feel like we should always be that good, considering where we recruit at.
But you're right, that we still don't know if USF is #20 in the country or #60. There is a lot of football left to be played, and the Cincy game tonight will be our first even match of the year.

Good response!

There seems to be a lot of unwarranted gloating in here.  Your opponents thus far have won a total of 6 games between 4 teams.  Further, your defense might be the worst in the country.  Your QB is streaky at best, your offense hasn't been tested (FSU was a blowout), and if Mack goes down....? I'm not in here spouting unrealistic expectations, you guys are funny.  

That wasn't even roughing the passer, much less targeting.  But, it led to a touchdown so I guess its okay.  UCF is getting shafted all over this game but idc.

Well the BE had only three or four decent teams too. I think you have to include Memphis in there to ( although they probably get rolled tonight) . 

Temple is also pretty good.  Despite this game ECU is still a solid team.  Really, the American is a good conference, and definitely better than the Big East was.  

ECU's best player today has been Justin Holman.  If it was their other QB we'd be down by 30 right now it seems.

UCF's D is better than advertised.  Crud.

Were gonna lose by 20+ to Memphis? And finish the year with 7 wins? That's a big ol caca-dookie 

I would take the over at USF 6, I think you win by 9 or 10.  Memphis looks good, but not that good.  I don't think you finish with just 7 wins but if what the previous poster said about USF being 120th in the country in defense is true then I wouldn't call the odds of it happening caca-dookie either.

This is hilarious. You're not in full desperation mode!  

Yes, because you got booted from the table. Trying to save face ECU is acting like all is well. If it was so well, why did you try to get a set at the presentation table? Just for kicks and giggles? I highly doubt that, you were selling yourself like a two dollar hoe on Nebraska Avenue to the Big 12. Now all of a sudden you don't need the Big 12. Maybe if  you admit when you're wrong you'd be more credible! 

You seem to lack perspective.  It would have not been in ECU's best interest to not partake in the open call for the B12. When they were ruled out, they went public.  I like that.  You don't have to.  ECU is happy in a competitive conference that is doing pretty well.  Of course they would try to move up, but they have been complimentary of the AAC.  USF should do the same because there isn't as much difference between the two as some would like to believe.

You seem more of a simp than a troll so I don't think banning would be in order .... but I do wonder why you take time to post on a board that's primarily designed for Bulls fans, talking about Bulls stuff.

simp=simpleton? Far from it.  I take time to post here because, as very recently mentioned, I have dual interest in ECU/USF.  You could use the traffic anyway.

Hey ECU fan, how's it going prepping for the possible Big 12 invite?

oh, wait ...

About the same as it is for USF??  Atleast one school is being straight with their contigency.  I think you will see that while ECU would have been stupid not to send out B12 feelers they don't feel the level of desperation for the BIG 12 that some others have shown.  As a whole we have moved on.

Trust me, they do.  It varies from "community college" all the way down to "a joke" (that is what I can share as it is a family board) .  It is not a random few.  It is quite a bit of their fans.   I really think a lot of our fans have no clue how much contempt they have had for USF for a long time.  

Outside of this board I have seen little correspondence between the two schools' fan bases.  USF largely isn't on their radar.  There's more history with UCF.  I'm an outlier with ties to both USF and ECU.  Not to say there aren't some people that like to rile up any given fan base.  Im sure there are some out there

This is where you got off on the wrong foot:

 

...  and the questioning of the dead solid actual attendance figures for Saturday has just further endeared you to us .... and I hope to hell the 2 upvotes you got were from our obsessed, lurking Kanigit klowns.

Ok I made a single statement about ECU attendance.  I was wrong,  not that it discounts the rest of the statement nor does it jive with what mission9 was suggesting regarding ECU fans and their attendance.  If you admitted when you were wrong you would seem much more credible yourself. I'm not interested in appeasing or being endeared by soft egos Trip, as I've said before if you can't take thoughtful dialogue then ban me.
