    Aww, don't hide the pride dude!

    Still here! ...and no, I'm never letting it go...

    good point. decided to update it for our buddies at mouse U. Outstanding update, love it!

    Seriously, I dunno, a trophy just gives it too much of an air of permanence to me. I'm all for embracing the rivalry in the now, but my face scrunches up when I think of this game being a long-term tradition. I can't come to terms with the idea that we'll be on their level indefinitely. They may be thinking the same thing in reverse, so who knows where this goes? One thing's for sure, I hope our team absolutely shakes its MO of in-conference gaffes before Nov 29th and comes out swinging. They better have plenty of fight left in them!

    Nice one. Somewhere, slick is smiling... In other rival news, here's CBS Sports preseason rankings that mean absolutely squat: http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/blog/eye-on-college-football/23134173/cbssportscom-preseason-126 ...BUT, just a little fuel on the fire as UCF is at 47 & USF (excuse me, South Florida) at 89. Personally I love being the underdog--guess growing up Bucs made me more comfortable with it!

    Man, I've NEVER understood under-utilizing TEs in our offense. This has me pretty excited, gives our QBs more options and those two guys (Price/McFarland) can flat play ball so I really look forward to seeing them with the ball.

    Hope he gets playing time and opportunity to shine. Very good hands, he makes a great 3rd down receiver at the stakes but never saw great blocking from him. Wish him the best of luck!

    Probably only in World of Warcraft.

    Can't ignore that, coach played QB and knows what he needs to see, and who needs to improve. I have confidence he'll make the best starting choice, but it's great that there's some competition at the position to accelerate learning. CWT appears to have a "fish or cut bait" mentality, so I think the cream will rise to the top soon enough.

    ...that ends with us scoring 7.

    Obscene drunks & the FSU chop song. When the Braves took up playing that over the loudspeakers in the Ted, I threw up a little in my mouth...
  12. raptorcj
    Very cool, just hope the preseason excitement and backing of CWT carries strong into the season. Or, rather, that we'll all have good cause to still be excited a few weeks in.

    I also saw Greg's article, it was good to see Taggart positive on the D rather than down on the O. 5 INTs in one practice can definitely be spun either way, but I like seeing the hungry defense. I don't like seeing that the QBs are struggling a little with learning the O, but it's still pretty early for Bench & White to get it. It's too bad we can't scrimmage with another team or something, I'm dying to see how these guys do in real combat!

    @deters- You might want to change your pic, now. Jenkins is in a Raiders uniform this year! Like the Bulls sign, though, that's a pretty cool pic. Funny, though, I was just at Cowboys Stadium (I know, it's AT&T now) and Mike still has a locker spot with his name there.

    In the interest of talking about the rivalry instead of whether or not it IS a rivalry...ahem. Golden, I'd say it's probably because you're...um...and I hate to say it...a UCF fan. There's that whole distrust thing, ya know, ulterior motives of a non-USF fan on our site. Well, that and the apparent fact that our little family squabbles over here have us ultra-suspicious and looking for an outlet. Thanks for that!

    Ya know I don't blame ya for losing interest last year, it was the most depressing "unfun" football season ever Couldn't agree more, I think even the most devoted fans get a "bye" on last year... ...at least, that's how I forgive myself, but my lawn never looked better than last year!
  17. raptorcj
    Won't get much hype until they miss their first PAT... I figured it would probably be Kloss, most experience. But I've heard the freshman kid (Nadelman) has a pretty good leg.
  18. raptorcj
    I found myself staring at it, wasted my time trying to figure out what that thing in the middle was that was crushing the cat & the armadillo. Definitely fire the artist!!
  19. raptorcj
    Dude, between students, alumni, marketers, etc for BOTH schools, you don't think we'd scrape up 50,000 interested people? Oh no, my friend, that's a mistake.
  20. raptorcj
    No, no, that was Shaun's dad Manuel...

    First game at USF after taking over, with everyone chomping at the bit for change? If CWT threw anything less than everything at this game, I'd be absolutely shocked. Now if we're able to build up a good pad, THEN he can play games with the depth players, but he should have our guys (ALL of them) ready for blood from the time they hit the field to the time they leave. +1

    We need them to win bowl games for conference map status, esp against big conferences. I stop cheering for them the moment they leave the conference, they can rot for all I care then.
  23. raptorcj
    ...and were 56 in the previous two years, while UCF fell in somewhere below (but close) that. Agree with Stuben, and you see it all the time on the streets--more W's = more $$. We should be happy we're even on the stinkin' list!!

    Excellent feedback Macks, very nice to have a first impression from fans that can roll with the punches and have some fun. For us, MSU will be our offense's proving grounds. No strong position players at QB or RB and an unproven OL spells a real challenge for us to put points on you. Our D will definitely challenge the run, it's our down-field play we're going to be concerned about. Those bombs may work, I just hope not.

    Guess you guys have been going at it a long time, hard to hit a reset button with so much history! Well, for my part I've always felt the rivalry, but it always seems to come from the UCF side in my experience. Besides some of the ND fans I've heckled, there's hardly a group of fans that get so easily insulted by the slightest intimation that USF will whoop 'em. I tend to agree the stakes have changed a LOT now that we're in the same conference, so our track record doesn't bode well for a late-season win. Still, I think the Bulls will whoop 'em.
