Hey Smazza, You have a point. I would have to concede that USF has the better team until proven otherwise ON the field. However, from general perceptions I dont think there is a distinction made as the #1 step-child in Florida. In addition, the UCF team you played last year was the remenence of a debacle that started with something similar to what USF is going through right now. If I were you, I would be realistic and realize that the same thing can happen at USF. Lets break it down. USF Short History, Great Stides BCS Status Used superior strategy of playing lesser teams to build and then beating several marquee programs. Not many starters in NFL name recognition average Defeated UL and Pitt No OCS Poor revenue streams Small Fan Base Average Facilities Average Academics Lower Football Academics Standings Less Publicity BEAT UCF UCF Long History Scheduled Marquee programs and constantly got beat down except for the Daunte Days. ~dozen starters in NFL Name recognition average Never defeated ranked team OCS Larger Fan Base Better Revenue streams as of 07 Excellent facilites Average Academics Higher Football Acad. Standards More Publicity LOSS TO USF I would say the programs both have their advantages. You may disagree with my analysis and I appreciate your opinion. However, I think there is no #4, just 3 and the rest. USF being #4 is a figment of your imagination along with the rest of the fans on this board. Until it is received by the media and the state of Florida it really means nothing does it? Most of the "publicity" UCF received last year was due to the pat on the back they got for actually managing to win a game. When you're the only team in 1A to not win a game, *any* kind of victory is going to get you decent attention on Sportscenter. People felt sorry for you! It goes to show, if you set your standards low enough, ANYTHING seems like success. Rather get publicity as a cinderella story than for smoking weed, stealing cameras, and failing school..LOL. I dont think TCC/HCC/SFU has been around long enough to go through a down period. I am confident out Duante team would have creamed any team you ever fielded. In addition, we will be destroying you Saturday. I have been watching USF on catch 47. Your offense looks like a HS offense. Ill take last years team against Pepps teams because Pepp wouldnt get the ball off he would be on his back.... As for our offense we run that good ole gimmicky spread offense that was an Urban Myer/Rich Rodriguez creation (i am not a fan). This offense is what is envogue right now in college football (even though i hate it as good LB speed [which you guys lack] and a steady disciplined secondary can stop it dead in its tracks). If you want to say something about our offense talk about our lack of experiecne in the back field.
