    Bumped for ucIF fans ...A BLAST FROM THE PAST!!!!!!!

    in American Athletic Conference

    Posted

    This is FUNNY.  Everything this ucf fan talked about, came true (in reverse)

    After our announced  series with Miami, this old letter (4 years) will tell you how FAR USF has moved.

    USF, it's simple: You are scared to play UCF 

    I am writing to let you know my thoughts on USF. As everyone knows, USF's athletic department continues to avoid a UCF-USF football series for whatever reason they can concoct at the time. 

    As a proud UCF supporter/alumni, nothing sickens me worse than seeing (USF athletic director) Lee Roy Selmon and crew continue to put off the inevitable and natural rivalry between the two schools. USF continues to claim it wants to be part of the "Big Three" schools, yet joins a conference that is hardly the SEC, ACC or Big East. 

    Fact is, if USF wants to be seen as the next FSU, UF or UM, it should have stayed independent until the time came to join a "Big Three" conference. As it stands, UCF's MAC conference dominated USF's Conference USA this year in football. 

    USF fans/alumni continue to convince themselves they want to be the next UF, FSU or UM, but those schools have played or will play UCF. UM has actually inked a 2-for-1 with UCF this year. 

    If those schools schedule UCF, why not USF? 

    I believe the real reason is fear. My analogy is the bully who talks and talks and talks, but when the day comes to settle the score, the bully is nowhere to be found. The sad realization that UCF would beat USF is just too much for ol' Lee Roy and crew to take. 

    I would relish a game with USF if nothing more than to knock Lee Roy Selmon and crew off their proverbial high horse.

    I didn't write what I did to start an arguement and was not meant to be disrespectful to Howie or yourself.  I've seen Howie on the other boards and know he talks USF everwhere he can.  For whatever reason, Howie decided that he had enough of this board and chose to leave.  The types of Bullpen poster you refer to won't change their ways.  One either choses to deal with it or choses not to deal with it.

    Just so I'm clear, [highlight]I liked having Howie on here a lot, butI'm not going to beg for him to come back.[/highlight]  As I said before, he's an adult, and as such makes his own decisions.

    If it seems that I am taking umbrage with your post, I'm not.  ;)

    I understand your thinking Apis, and allow for your position.  I guess I am just still steaming for what occurred a while back.  What is the expression.....Hell hath no fury as woman......."   LOL  I guess like the Elephant, I don't forget.

    What I do know, however, is that there are a lot of great people who post here, and to them I say Bull Nation is what it is because of them.

    GO BULLS!!!!!!!

    I totally agree!  Like I stated in my post at the top of this thread, "HowieP should forgive" ... afterall, how long does one hold a grudge to 3-4% of people on a stupid msg board when the other 96-97% want him around?

    Maybe he needs to be the bigger man..........right now he isn't, IMO.

    We'd all love to have HowieP back as a contributing member.  But for Howie and some others, including one of our board's founding fathers, the growth of the board has led to a broader range of knowledge and style.  Meaning, several posters knowing less and spouting off more, often rudely.

    So, it goes with the territory.  Either we start banning and closing the board because of the a-hole factor, or we try to stress the "community, accountability and responsibility" you have here as a member.

    Before I started this board I posted at one that is no longer open.  The reason I left that board?  Smart ass posters that thought because they had been members longer knew more than anyone else.  But I digress.

    Still,  the rationale holds, there are times when I am embarassed to be associated with this board.  [highlight]I clearly understand Howie's decision not to post here anymore.[/highlight]

    Perhaps if we cleaned up our collective act, we would once again be attractive to all Bulls fans everywhere.   Afterall, that is the goal.  

    I understand as well.  He was brutally attacked (not by me) a while back.

    But, having said that, [highlight]just about all of those involved have apologized (repeatedly)[/highlight]

    It's time for HowieP to forgive & rejoin his Bull Brethren!!!

    if it happens, my wife actually came up with an interesting idea.

    Since UF just fired Women's Coach Carolyn Peck, USF should think outside the box.  Offer her the chance to become the first female to coach a male program (at a major BCS school.)

    1.  guys will want to come play for her.......she's HOT!

    2.  It would create a major buzz about USF BB, incresing attendance.

    3.  She's a good coach.

    4.  see # 1
