LOL ... maybe I missed it but I don't think anyone's saying that they scheduled us because they respect us, and if they did say it, they're wrong. Fact is they don't really respect either of our programs, yours probably less so because of the assklownery exhibited. They just like ours enough to throw us a bone with 2-1's, location definitely a factor, which is fine. Bottom line is that we've got 6 games with a couple of the top programs in the country, with the icing being 2 at home (where I fully understand we'll be outnumbered in the stands) ..... and the anticipation leading up to those games will be better than leading up to any aac game, even a conf championship one, which is kind of sad to acknowledge but I think true. 

Teams don’t want to play in a lose lose situation. If they beat UCF they don’t get credit for a good win and if the lose their season is over. There is less of a chance of that happening by playing USF than UCF. So I would say those teams definitely respect our talent more than yours.
 

And you would have to play in an AAC championship game to know what kind of hype it would get.

I guess the the Gators are looking for a vacation game too... Just say it, UCF football is house poor.

I'm sure when Stanford scheduled the home-and-home series with UCF they were counting on a guaranteed win, but hey you can't predict the future. Plus the fact that series wasn't even scheduled by your current athletic director that likes to push a false narrative. But go ahead and keep scheduleing  the likes of UNC, FAMU and FAU and crying that nobody wants to play UCF. 

And you keep scheduling 2-1 with Louisville. Face it, if the Florida’s and Alabama’s of the world respected you the games would be home and home. They don’t and you need the money.

Anytime anywhere.  The point is UCF can't schedule a top-tier power 5 program if they wanted to. The capacity issues at Spectrum Field inhibit top-tier P5 programs from traveling to UCF.  UCF's AD likes to hide behind a veil of self delusion and blames unfair scheduling practices by the power 5, when we all know the real issue is a financially driven capacity issue at Spectrum field. 

 

Alabama scheduled you for a trip to Florida and a rent a win twice in their stadium. Stanford just played at UCF this year.

Like Pitt?

I think he meant more like Alabama.

Who do you play this week? Maybe you can hangout there? Does UcF have a message board? If yes maybe you can check that place out.

You must sunburn so badly with that thin skin you have.

And yet here you are

We play in the same conference, have a rivalry and have a game against each other in two week so that seems pretty normal.

We regularly had an average more than 10k more than your stadium can seat. Oh really? Did you threaten legislation to force them to play you? Did you repeatedly appeal to the media to beg them to play you? Did you bombard their message boards trying to keep you relevant in their lives? Are you still regularly visiting their message board to point out how prestigious they are to you? And yet here you are as you have always been trying to associate yourselves with us, it’s sad.

Yeah we really don’t care if we are associated with you guys anymore. Like seriously if you went independent or dropped to 1 AA we would be cool with and still play you. It’s past the time when it mattered for us. It doesn’t anymore.

In our worse season in 5 years we have games with more fans in attendance than your stadium holds. How was your attend in your winless season? Which is your worse season in the last five seasons. I will wait. Your band wagon attendance is dwindling this season and your fans want to fire the HC.

 

About 20k a game. That’s the amount of die hards we have that will be there regardless of record. Not really sure what that has to do with your low attendance numbers regardless of the conference you are in. I don’t know why you are in denial but your attendance it’s not good. I’ve been to plenty of USF games over the years. Let’s not pretend like the lower bowl is packed. Everyone at the game could fit in one side of the lower bowl like 95% of the time. I know everyone talks tickets sold but even when UCF does it and announces a sell out I think anyone watching knows it isn’t. Two years ago you had a pretty good team and it was still pretty sparse. I don’t know maybe you guys should drop down or go independent.

You do realize we have many games with more fans in the seats than your stadium holds right?

No you don’t and no one who goes to the games or watched them would think that. If you were averaging over 43k for a game you probably wouldn’t be having money issues.

It was much closer than when we got stuck playing teams like the unfortunate flock that were used to replace the Big East members that lost. Unfortunately for us you can’t play with **** without getting some on you and now people think we have sunk to level of the lower level teams we now surround ourselves with. At least you can be happy that you got to raise your prestige by playing with us but you have to appreciate that it came at a great cost for us of having to be associated with you, you are welcome.

So you sold out your Big East games regularly? And playing you is not as prestigious as playing UConn or Natti.

Move up, move down or continue to wither on the vine for something that’s too expensive to maintain because the market has spoken and not enough alumni or people from this area are interested in the AAC to the degree necessary to maintain an it. Being P6 means spending P5 money while having a G5 budget, it is the single worst position to be in in all of sports.

You didn’t sell out for Wisconsin, BYU, Georgia Tech, Illinois or Syracuse. 

Just avoid Memory Mall. It’s where all the students tailgate in the middle of campus. As a UCF alumni in my early 30’s I also avoid memory mall at all costs. If you set up your tailgate on the opposite side of the campus near the main entrance the traffic isn’t nearly as bad to get out. And if you think concessions are slow there than never ever go to a FAU game. 

Man, tough crowd. 

Maybe I’m just here to offer moral support as a fan of schools in the state of Florida.
