Quote by: BBS Posted on: Today at 5:14pm So USF should schedule them as the season opener. No disagreement that competition level is one-sided but as you pointed out, 45K > 26K.  Leaving them on the schedule also is benefitical right now because we definitely looked upon as a team that doesn't travel well. Consider UCF our fan bases' training wheels....it's a short trip for the casual fan. They'll get hooked on the away game atmoshere (like everyone here has that's been to one) and the number of fans that travel will grow.  I know UCF was my first away game and I had so much fun that I dragged some family with me to the bowl game.  My father had a blast there and as soon as the the schedule is posted, he and I are gameplanning a trip to Pitt.  I also have friends that are going with me to the FIU game and I'm already trying to talk up people for a road trip to see Auburn. All it took was for me to finally go to one.
