    I assume this was regarding me, I have not once mentioned ECU's attendance so you are kind of barking up the wrong tree. The ECU fans I've met consider UCF to be one of their greatest rivalries, so once again I believe you are mistaken. ..or basing your opinion on a small sample size. It is kind of funny how you blame the small crowds on your conference affiliation when the team you're bashing manages respectable crowds despite playing in the same or lesser conferences. The AAC is a good conference by the way and it's one you should embrace. Its lame to deride a fan base thats more supportive of a team that frankly works with a lot less than you've been afforded. Your attendance issues are self-inflicted, not due to the conference you're in.

    I know RJS is cavernous, but that was the sparsest looking 52k ever. In the youtube video below there are some decent crowd shots that show all empty sections outside of the small student section and majority maroon shirts mixed in the crowd during running highlights. I do see a slight majority USF directly surrounding the field in the first row, which is a good thing as it means a lot of diehards kept their tix and showed up. That said, I doubt it was 60/40 USF, most likely the other way around:

    It should be better by 10/8.

    Memphis looks like they will be competition for Houston in the west, Navy might play spoiler too. To me, the east looks wide open this year. There are 4 teams that could take it with no clear frontrunner.

    Also, officially, Tampa hit 96 once and 95 x 9 other times this year. Charlotte, for example-officially, has hit 99, 98 x6, 97 x 5, 96 x 4, and 95 x 16. Granted, these are merely NWS official numbers so that doesn't mean it didn't hit 101 or whatever on X given day. But, this happens everywhere.

    There is a lot more variance in western NC, depends on where exactly you speak of. Asheville is nice all the way around, imo. If you want to completely skip the heat you need to head closer to the TN border though. Parts of NW NC have never hit 90 degrees...at least as far as documented records go. It gets...sparse...out there though. For reference, it has been a really hot summer for NC. Asheville has hit 90 19 times this year, which is well above average. 8 times in June, 9 in July, 1 in Aug, 1 in Sep. Charlotte has 80 days of 90 degree temps. Tampa has 97 days of 90 degree temps.

    Lived in Charlotte for 4 years. The summer starts in May usually (always by memorial day) and goes thru september. From the middle of June through August it is hotter than anywhere in the Tampa area. It does get cloudy/rainy in the winter with a couple of days of snow each year. I wouldn't say you escape the heat there, just the never ending nature of it.

    Don't think the nickname derived from here, heard it before I came to these boards. As far as I can tell it has never been used in a negative way and the commentators seem to enjoy it...adds to the atmosphere.

    USA Today updated their rankings recently, I think you guys will be pleased. I personally think they are not very well done, but that's just a matter of opinion. Anyway, here it is: http://college.usatoday.com/2016/09/19/alabama-no-longer-no-1-in-the-ncaa-1-128-re-rank/

    That's something you don't want to see.

    MU kicked their asses that first quarter, their running game is no joke however.

    I was messing around and found a neat google function, check it out and change the teams around: https://www.google.com/trends/explore?date=2013-08-08 2016-09-08&q=%2Fm%2F02pkdly,%2Fm%2F057xkj_,%2Fm%2F0gps08,%2Fm%2F02rywcg

    I was really excited by the title, you got me-I clicked.
  14. I like GOOOOLD (and green)
    Houston, Navy, Tulsa, ECU were top four. After that it doesn't really matter. AAC played well across the board with only 2 losses. USF had a good game, but Towson looked like the worst FCS team that I saw this weekend against the AAC.

    So, are you saying I shouldn't bother bringing attendance numbers to an attendance thread? I'm happy to let this go, but you are the one that sounds thin skinned; and if your answer to my just stated question is anything other than 'No' then you have gone a long way to explaining 'how you roll'...I hope that others here don't feel the same way.
  16. I like GOOOOLD (and green)
    I actually liked the way they looked on TV/computer. Gave your team a different look than others, stands out.
  17. I like GOOOOLD (and green)
    There was no smack, only objective data. If you want Smack, I could say something along the lines of 'ECU should play at Ray Jay, they'd fill it better...plus the whole pirate ship thing'. But, if you have followed my posts thus far you would know that isn't my interest. Frankly if you must resort to idle threats when faced with objective (and not combative) comments, then your respect would not be considered a priority of mine-nor anyone else's of substance. There are plenty of others here who welcome discourse and provide something other than previously mentioned threats. Mods are not exempt from accountability, ban away if you must.

    Even better...GIN BLOSSOMS! /sarcasm
  19. I like GOOOOLD (and green)
    ECU 44,161. USF attendance: 22,626 according to stadium co. This pics from the ECU and UcF games showed impressive turnouts.
  20. I like GOOOOLD (and green)
    Wasn't everyone here giving them flak for not having AC in their IPF not long ago?
  21. I like GOOOOLD (and green)
    What really matters is how the respective schools do in FLA, number #3 in the state is up for grabs...that's not bad in FLA's case.
  22. I like GOOOOLD (and green)
    The evidence is the basis of the conversation- you hear about them more bc they have more of a following. I don't need to be redundant to point out simple basis of truth. If you feel otherwise, that's fine.
  23. I like GOOOOLD (and green)
    I think it's great that you've seen USF support elsewhere. As for your question, the answer is no.
  24. I like GOOOOLD (and green)
    Not true, my family was from Temple Terrace, I have personal interest in USF...hence why I'm here. I am disappointed by the poor response of the local forum members here to relatively objective opinions from outsiders though. Not reflecting your current comment, but big picture. There was no reason for my comment to get 6 thumbs down, it was an accurate statement, there is more ECU stuff where I tend to go (mostly south) than USF. There very well may be more USF stuff in Cali though, no idea.
  25. I like GOOOOLD (and green)
    That may all be true, but one other thing they are better in is popularity/following. That's gotta play a role. Honestly I've seen more following from ECU in various areas (outside of FLA) than USF, despite all the things you listed that rank yourselves ahead of UCF.
