  1. I forgot about that weekend being Thanksgiving weekend. I'd definitely stay Downtown. The UCF Area will be a little more dead than usual If the teams played this weekend for example there would be way more of an atmosphere on the East side of town.
  2. +1 UCF has a nice mix where it's not quite like a land grant college town but East Orlando is separated enough in its little corner of Metro Orlando where it feels like it it depends what you want. Staying Downtown will be more expensive and require more driving on gameday but is great for bar hopping. The UCF area would be cheaper and is more of suburban setup but you still have solid options to eat/drink pre and post game(Bar Louie, World of Beer). Knight Library, Stagger Inn, & Knights Pub are the bars most current students go to. If you decide to stay by UCF and want to do minimal driving the DoubleTree UCF/Eeast Orlando is the best bet. If you decide to stay Downtown I'd recommend the Embassy Suites on Pine Street.
  3. Yeah he'll still be on the sideline but the distraction will spiral out of control & the fanbase is going to be demoralized and angry I wouldn't be surprised if they lose to SMU Saturday
  4. I know the threat is real and it would really ruin this season for me. We'll know for sure soon thought bc UF sources can't keep their mouths shut. If Frost refuses to sign the new contract that is going to be offered then he's gone.
  5. if someone is willing to gamble on coaching carousel... I think it would be tempting to Taggart but don't think he leaves Oregon
  6. I'd prefer a big financial penalty. It screws over the fans of USF and UCF & the Players.
  7. their fans are thirsty for Frost...would be the worst case scenario, if he leaves I'd rather he go out of State
  8. You haven't watched UCF this year if you think USF has superior athletes. A slight edge? Possibly but outside of QB with Flowers UCF could have the edge at anyone looking at it objectively, especially at the WR position.
  9. I didn't forget about Taggart but I think it's more painful for Houston fans for him to stay In State
  10. I feel terrible for the Houston fanbase. They are the most recent example of Texas and College Football Politics causing them to lose their Coach and incredible Program Momentum. I'm afraid the same story may happen to UCF.
  11. we'll see how Navy goes but I think most of our fans are actually more worried about SMU. Our Run Defense is supposed to be good despite a little bit of sloppy play the last few games but there has been signs that the pass defense can be exposed with an accurate passer. Getting Clarke back after the Navy game(6 game suspension) will help bc he most likely replaces Moore at corner who gets picked on.
  12. not gonna lie Navy has me worried. I want the team to get up double digits fast like the last few games, if not it's going to be one of those sweat it out till the clock runs 0. Teams like Navy like to take the air out of the ball in time of possession
  13. yeah I'm not a fan of that view either when you are a paying customer and don't get in free
  14. yep that is the current debate UCF fans are having that are a little frustrated with the team ranked and not having complete sellouts. UCF tickets are expensive for the conference we are in but the AD White thinks Revenue #s are more important to pitch to P5 leagues in the future, hence the $22K field level cabanas.
  15. Willie did not have a good relationship with your Athletic Director and some of your Boosters. There were talks a full year before he took the Oregon job and I think if that relationship was better he might have stayed at USF longer and waited for a job in the South(like Tennessee) which I thought he would be a better fit for anyway. I know your fans will root for anything that you think hurts our Program but to be honest it's not good for either Program if we keep having this coaching turnover. It will create apathy. Although not likely I hope both Strong and Frost are still at both schools in 3 years Nebraska is an Adidas school.
  16. Frost was offered the Colorado State, Syracuse, and possibly the Maryland job. Turned them all down for 0-12 UCF when that coaching carousel had a record number of openings.The Maryland offer wasn't confirmed but his parents let it slip in an interview they did for a Nebraska newspaper that he was in the mix there. There were also reports that Frost told some of his former teammates and coaches that he was eyeing the UCF opening for years. Todd McShay said today that he thinks Frost should stay at UCF vs going to Nebraska.
  17. maybe Miami a long time ago? I'm sure they try to avoid it. It makes it harder to draw a good crowd when you don't have students stumbling over from their dorm in the AM UCF's Memory Mall is perfect for College Gameday
  18. If you really think Dr Hitt would risk the safety of over 30K fans , he would never take that gamble. It's a long term concern , not immediate
  19. Have you been to a game at UCF during the last 2 seasons with the upgrades? It's actually a comfortable place to watch a game with more spacious concourses compared to the other college stadiums in State, the Swamp is like a maze of tunnels getting to the different sections. But if USF fans don't want to travel for a game that might have a New Years Day Bowl on the line we'll take it
