    Do you support a continued UCF vs USF series?

    I hope USF wises up and says NO.

    The fact that you move to the conference that Texas and Oklahoma left, and many before them, does not make you guys any different.  So there should be no reason to play you.  Our out of conference is full of real P5 teams - including FLa teams.  Not trying to be mean, but teams that actually have functioned in a P5, not got promoted to plug the holes.  You guys WILL ALWAYS BE UCF. 

    Sad attempt Brad, UCF is P5.

    I nominate this guy from the daily stampede. He’s mentioned on Twitter a couple times now Michael Kelly should leave USF for his own sake.

    like Jesus just stop following the school, don’t actively root for its destruction. 

    Not to mention Nathan isn’t winning any diet contests.

    As a USF fan I can objectively say all of this is true.

    I can also objectively say this is wrong.  UCF got lucky that all of their cost cutting corners didn't blow up in their face.  I would link the good ole article from a few years back that showed the stadium had critical structural issues but I'm too lazy to do it now.  The stadium *is* a joke-the name LITERALLY LITERALLY refers to how cheap it is.  I'm not making this up, it's called the Bounce House right now.  Seriously, I didn't do that, UCF did.  And UCF/ it's fans did that that in order to convince themselves that something crappy was instead "endearing".

    UCF absolutely has a great game day atmosphere on campus because of that garbage stadium.  But its still a trash stadium that was built on the cheap.  And anyone else can rightly point that out; just like you can rightly point out USF is suffering because 0 investment was made to better it's football program.

    And I wouldn't brag too much about hosting Big12 games.  Joining a failing conference that (assuming it isn't raided again) will end up looking like an "AAC+" to the average football commentator, isn't exactly making it to the big leagues.  College football is turning into SEC vs the PAC/B1G/ACC alliance, scheduling wise.  Neither the AAC nor the Big12 were invited to that table.

    The best part of this post is the ignorance to  history.  Go see pictures of the Orange Bowl, a complete dump but without it UM would be nothing.  Look at Doak Campbell, built just like UCF’s stadium with a a brick facade and some cement added later.  There are hundreds of stadiums built the same way.  
     

    The Bounce House nickname has done more for UCF than anything USF has ever done in its entire sports history.  Those are facts.

    Allow me to do add my thoughts to this topic as I do feel it’s the single most important factor to usf athletics. As a UCF season ticket holder for over 30 years, I can tell you UCF had no choice but to build their stadium.  There were about 30 boosters that were screaming at UCF constantly about this topic weekly.  For me it was the Florida classic that was the final straw.  That game was held at the end of the season and those of us that paid enough to have reserve parking at the Citrus Bowl would show up to our dedicated parking spots only to be turned away by OPD and see vendors selling merchandise for the Florida Classic in those same spots we paid for.  Even though UCF played on that field six times a year, the field was painted for the Florida Classic and UCF had to play in it.  I distinctly remember this for Daunte Culpepper’s last game and it pissed me off.  
     

    The renovation of the Citrus Bowl was just the last straw, UCF was going to leave the Citrus Bowl and that was just a matter of time.  The City of Orlando was not a good partner to UCF.
     

    For usf to survive they must have an on campus stadium, there is no alternative.  I’ve watched usf and their fans trash the Bounce House over the years and I’ve just laughed at them.  Maybe it’s just jealousy but it’s not about how nice the stadium is, it’s about the campus.  No one cares about metal or rust when they are showing aerial views of a full on campus stadium.  Pro stadiums off campus stadiums can’t compete, when was the last time Pitt or Miami had a good fan turnout?

    Not at all.  Been out here now 12 years, people confuse the directional schools.  When USF was kicking UCF's ass they didn't know the dif and confused them when you're kicking our ass.  The Fiesta Bowl games have only led people to think that me, the guy from Florida, went there, to UCF.  It's been a terrible time.  They don't know UCF is from MouseTown.  They don't know that are multiple non-UF or FSU schools.  Not all the same collection of three letters.  They couldn't name the cities for 85% of Florida schools.  Very simple for people out here - it's Arizona or Arizona State.  The radio guys did get a good laugh about the national champ claims, but that was the height of the knowledge gain out here. 

    Well Brad that is your viewpoint, I know two members of the Fiesta bowl committee through work.  One is on the marketing committee.  He knows UCF very well and has said to me UCF by far is the best of the G5 schools when they have to take one.  He went in to say they preferred UCF over closer G5 schools because the UCF fan base is a proven traveler.

    USF, UCF are natural rivals, yes? Maybe not

    No Mike, you don't get it.  Its about fans and money.  Tell me a game where USF will get over 40,000.  All we heard about FAMU was 50,000 plus and that was with a large media blitz, guess what, 38,000.

    You don't want to admit it, USF is no different than UCF, we live in Gator and Seminole towns.  Without rivals, you have nothing.  I don't know your background in college football, but I can tell you that rivals last.  USF does not want to admit that it is/could be a good rivalry, but the fans seem to think differently.

    Tell me this, sure UCF is bringing 7,000 to 10,000 people, but how many USF students will show up for this game?  I would not expect someone in Detroit to understand Florida college football, but its very obvious, even to you.  You and your school just does not want to admit it.

    "Rivalry Game" according to ESPN

    BCS in the state of Florida = 4-star talent.  I'm sure Carlton Hill would much rather be ON the field at WR then on the bench at QB.  He is still getting work in practice at QB

    Hill was offered by Miami, to play WR.  He said he wanted to be a QB, USF was the only school who said he could be a QB.  Yup.

    Plus Andre Hall, plus Courtney Denson...plus three (so far) four stars transferring in.  If I'm counting right, that's already 6 more than ucf the past two years.

    Six?  

    They are tranfers, hell, that does not count.

    Demarcus Johnson 4 stars

    Chad Mascoe  4 stars

    Roy Williams  4 stars

    Those were all JUCO tranfers with four stars, all in one  year.  Guess what, only one turned out to be anything.  Much like Denson, nothing is guarenteed.
