If you look at the game thread you'll see comments about how the crappy first half performance sucked the life out of the crowd. How about beat FSU and show the town what they are missing? Only the true fans believe in the team and we need some filthy casuals to show up and comment on how they heard we have a good quarterback.

Not one of the other 127 FBS programs give out actuals. He uses UCF's announced, yet uses USF's actuals in the Towson game. That is lying about UCF's actual attendance. Although they don't give out actuals at UCF, anyone with half a brain knows that when they announced 26K against USF, there were at most 10K in the stands and that is being generous. He is using apples to oranges to make his argument. Either use actuals for everyone or used announced for everyone. Either is fine. To do otherwise is misleading at best, and lying at worse. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about our athletics departments just stops scheduling cupcake games? Our fans always show up to the big games against quality opponents. Not everyone wants to pay to see USF beat the snot out of a nobody like Towson. If the team is truly back like coach T says it is, then they should schedule tougher and more entertaining games. Hell, UCF was able to get a deal with Michigan. How come we can't do something like that? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn't a shred of optimism or support of the Bulls. What a slap in the face. There was no mention of Mack on track to smash Andre Hall's career rushing record(s), or the fact that we are poised to win the AAC (the East div anyway). I just don't understand the hate...I mean, are other schools paying off the writers to publish hit pieces? At this point I'm through with the Times. They may as well be UCF in my eyes.

UCF is getting paid to go to Michigan one time and get beat. Big difference. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
