  1. And with the SoS of the AAC teams, those two victories should be enough for any team to claim a national championship.
  2. I remember work. <shudder>. It's a lot nicer now. They put money in my bank every month so I can fish all day! Life is groovy.
  3. I'll sit back and watch as it finally sinks in at UCF. They're not dumb - just blindly supporting an AD that first pisses off the world and then demands one for ones. The reality of the situation will finally overcome the fantasy when they are forced to take two for ones or have two or three FCS teams to fill the schedule. We are in a crap conference and beating the big boys means a lot more than a conference win.
  4. That is this season coming up. I have been addressing future signings, since we are addressing a new proclaimed strategy by UCF. So, to be factually correct, how many big named programs are on your schedule after the Stanford game? Now, get them (fast) with the one and one parameter. Now, get them from programs who haven't been p.o'd by UCF's attitude. The funnel gets kind of small at one end and needs to be filled quickly.
  5. Sure does make our "rented pirate ship" stadium look more attractive. Hey, what's the difference between a USF hotdog and a UCF hotdog? You can get a USF hotdog while playing Florida and Alabama .
  6. Well, stadium expansion may not be too far in the future.
  7. Hey Square, didn't a few posters on your board say that premium teams won't come to BH because it can't accommodate enough tickets for their fans? If that is the case, has UCF just accepted that they won't be playing one and ones with them?
  8. Well written. However, you castigate the reporter for his demonizing language and then label people who disagree as UCF Haters. I was the one on your board who (respectfully) repeatedly pointed out that UCF's selected strategy of how to handle UCF's recent success was going to lead to alienation of the very teams and decision-makers that UCF will be courting soon. UCF fans are rallying around White, and you should out here. But you should review among yourselves, not how you feel about your program, but how the rest of the CF world does. White informed the rest of the coaches in our conference that he wishes that they would stop their scheduling strategy because he thinks it will hurt the conference. Not that having a team with no SoS will hurt this conference more. This whole P6 thing is an embarrassment. UCF embraces the embarrassment with a self-proclaimed "National Championship" pissing off the teams who were determined to be actually worthy of the title. Think you will be getting a one for one with ANYONE from the SEC now that Saban is so pissed off that he breaks a thirty year tradition and chooses who? UCF's self-proclaimed rival (a lot of self-proclaiming going on in Fantasyville). You also fell into the same strawman constructed by your UCF boardmates. You claim that it's not your fault that your scheduled P5 teams are now not as good as they were. No kidding. Every team deals with it. Of course, your fans know that is not what is being addressed but they are confident defending something that no one is attacking. Good victory. The rest of the world is addressing White's announcement that UCF in now too good for two and ones FOR THE FUTURE. Now, if you want to defend that, ok. But let's not take it where it didn't go. I learned growing up that it is far more effective to stand up to the bully then to complain to them that they are not treating you fairly. We've chosen the former. UCF has chosen the latter. I might add - I don't want UCF as a rival. Never did. Many here cringed at the incessant whining, cajoling, and insults form UCF fans to please play them after beating them four times. Then, UCF follows us into the biggest conference for them and a consolation prize for us after the BE. I truly wish UCF would go its own way and had the confidence to make it on its own without constantly linking to us.
  9. Welcome, Springs. The offseason can be a bit weird here, so don't let it throw you!
  10. It'll still be plenty hot for the Wisconsin team. Them big boys are going to lose some weigh quickly.
  11. Someone has to talk some sense into them and the hometown paper is a good choice. The GroupThink is so prevalent that it going to take a lot to get through to them. No foreseeable SoS games in the near future as a way to prove that you can play with the big boys. The logic escapes me.
  12. At my age if I was any bigger, I'd be a King! If I was any smaller, I'd be a Queen...
  13. Dare I hope? Their oline will look Stonehenge. I just hope Florida speed can prevail. Now, if we can get in a passing game, I can maybe see it. But, we need to be able to stop the run like never before. I'm cautiously optimistic.
  14. And if you have a defense that is in top shape and deep.
  15. Down by the Black River, on a quiet night, you can hear the banjo music and an odd sound like a man squealing like a pig
  16. I can certainly vouch for that. I was stationed at Fort Walton Beach and the whole Western Panhandle is called Lower Alabama. I believe Alabama tried to buy that part of Florida's Panhandle at one point.
  17. Funny, I keep getting male enhancement products
  18. Actually, for a while, it was respectful and a good interchange of ideas. But after a while, yeah, the whole "mine is bigger than yours" maturity level prevailed.
  19. My sentiments, exactly. Now, if people disagree, that's fine. But at least they know with what they are disagreeing. This way is the chosen USF way. We don't know where it leads, but we know where it can POSSIBLY lead. We know where UCF's road leads. The CFP told us. The SoS is not strong enough. One school decided to keep doing what they were told failed. The other school learned.
