The Great 8

All of these young men are gonna start considering USF, if they haven't already. Some will love us, others may not, but I say, let's not shut the door on any of them. I think each one of them deserves our attention and people who can't see that, aren't really USF fans.

You'd kind of hope that train of thought would hold true for ALL our recruits  ... you know, like not making snide comments about drunk qb's in the huddle and such.   :

I have never made a "snide" comment about a drunk QB in a huddle.

Dude, NO WAY he is the starter next year,

Who replaces him, Stevie(drunk in the huddle) Weatherford? Maybe BJ in a further departure from sanity? Jamius who looks big and strong but will have his own growing pains? WHO????????

#USF did an in home visit with Teddy Bridgewater yesterday. May get him for an OV this weekend. Most likely mid-January.

Oh man, this signing would be huge.

AND he can continue his career as a BULL!

+1 this guy would be a monster coup

All of your "big" achievements come with caveats:

1. Conference championship was in a horrible C-USA (this year's C-USA is even worse) and you got dismantled by every BCS team you played that year. UT, USF, and UK.

2. Beat a top 25 team, that was not a BCS team.

3. Ranked in the top 25, but only in the AP and Coaches, no BCS ranking because the computers weren't stupid enough to give a 2-loss team with no impressive victory a ranking.

Congrats on all your achievements, it's a sign of progress from your team, it really is. However, it' s nothing to get overly antagonistic about.

I thought we beat top 25 team last year in Houston?

:shhh

That's why I said TOP 25 BCS TEAM. Houston is not a BCS team, but an overrated non-BCS team just like you were for a week this year.

So, congrats.

No team fielded from this state would defeat my team this year.  Just my view.

Chad, God love you but....several teams would give us MORE than a run for our money. Let's see how we do in the finish...before we raise a State trophy...just sayin.

are you really a UCF fan? I don't think I've yet to see you compliment UCF in any of your posts...not saying to be a huge homer for your team but just seems odd.....

Why does he not have to really be a fan?

Back when we were #2 and #10 in the country most of our fans did not think we'd be beating UF who was ranked beneath us.

It's just stupid, really.

Your best wins are vs. Houston and ECU. You failed to beat fringe top 25 BCS teams in Kansas St. and NC State for the 20th year in a row.

If they just get up for the UF game they should have a bunch of others to start the season and go through the motions. By the time midseason comes they can slump and hopefully Love/Griffin will be ready to make a big impact.

Bogan is a beast.

Actually, picking Best didn't have much to do with Smith. Smith simply wasn't able to carry the load as THE guy.

FWIW, neither is Best. The hope is that a Best/Smith combo complements each other well and should be able to not break down. Neither guy is a 20+ carry back.

Personally, I think Kevin is done, which is a shame. He put too many miles on at UCiF.

I wonder if Charlie Strong's presence isn't as great as anticipated?

He's lost 2 significant FL players in Wilson and Chandler so far on signing day.

I'd rather UCF not stay close to us in recruiting!

How could they land this kid but not us? I guess all his buddies going there?

Miami Northwestern offensive lineman Torrian Wilson has signed a letter of intent to play for UCF, according to the Miami Herald live Tweets from the school's press conference.

It's a huge pick up for the Knights.

Not sure if this is main board material or not but it's pretty significant that he decommitted from Louisville and didn't come back to us but instead went to UCF.
