The bottom line is that we should have gone undefeated. There is no excuses for doing otherwise. Even if we beat Mickey Mouse U and win the conference, it's still a what could have been. A one loss gr

9-2 and an invite to the Bad Boy Mowers Bowl to play FIU will be the icing on the 2017 turd cake served up by CCS

The question needs to be asked, how many teams have UCF and Memphis played that are as good as we are?  They have both played basically the same schedule as us.    It will be close game

I guess you are correct... on the other hand, it's also the best feeling 9-1 ever!!!! When there's only 1 in your history, it covers a broad spectrum of emotions.

You'll be feeling worse at 9-2.  Trust me. 

There is still a chance to make this season everything we hoped it would be.  11-1 and all will be forgiven.  :GoBulls:

I'm bummed because I now realize it will take a near perfect game by the Bulls to win in Orlando, which we haven't seen all season.  It's still possible.

Turnovers killed us we were rather lucky to win considering the low quality of play in quarters 2,3 and 4.

I think most of us long-time Bulls fans feel the same way. It is hard to describe actually. I'm sure the FSU and UF fans are feeling dissatisfied this year too, but the difference between them and Bulls fans is that they know that their future seasons will be better. We, on the other hand, all recognize from past experience (NCAA basketball tournament 20 year gap for example) that our opportunities for great seasons only come along every decade or two. When it appears that the team is set up for one of those rare great seasons, nothing short of that is satisfying to true fans like us. Even though we are 9-1 (stupid 4th & 24!) us Bulls Are We types tend to default to our normal expectations and start to see the real possibility (probability?) of not getting to enjoy a "great" season (i.e. AAC championship, big-time bowl game). Performances like last night's last 3 quarters only reinforce those feelings of here we go again... another USF "what could have been."

Knowing it doesn't make it true.  Florida hasn't been good for a while.

True. But "knowing" it does affect their outlook as fans in a positive way. Just like Bulls fans "knowing" we won't be this good again for a long time affects our outlook as fans in a negative way. I for one hope UF, FSU, Miami, and Orlando U. are terrible every season for the rest of my life and that all the Florida 4 and 5 stars come to USF instead, but I think we all "know" that isn't happening. 🤘

I think next season's team is going to surprise a lot of people.  I know what we lose, but I still think we'll be good, just different.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
