Both teams fought for and earned every point. I hate the ending, but the game was great. I dislike school tactics (cheap shots in advertising, etc), but the football team and Frost look respectable. I'm gonna enjoy the game vs Auburn--I'll have something to smile about either way, but the smile might include a chuckle if Auburn takes it.

Rivalries are a big part of college football. Having said that it still sucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should be worn like a banner if I’m Harlan. Tout this during the off season - maybe a tv deal? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Course we were all disappointed at the end however that's the best I've felt coming off a loss maybe ever. People will remember that game and therefore both schools.

It's good for us and for the league. That said, EFF UCF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clarify, SI didn't pick it as the #1 game, 6,800 Internet voters did .... and I don't think it's a coincidence that it was the most recent of all the choices. Obviously if we had won, probably would have kept that observation to myself and would have agreed wholeheartedly but there were some other games on the list that I would have voted a better game. Exposure is still nice, though, even in a losing cause ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, The USF-UCF game out drew on TV the CCG between UCF and Memphis. 2.7 4.644M (4.700M) USF UCF American Nov. 24, 3:30 PM ABC 2.3 3.385M UCF Memphis American Champ. Dec. 2, Noon ABC http://www.sportsmediawatch.com/college-football-tv-ratings/#2017wk3 What I think this does do is to show a P5 conference that it makes sense to take both USF and UCF as members, because of the apparent national interest in our rivalry. That link will show the Birmingham Bowl TV rating, when it becomes available. I'm hopeful that it will do well, since it was one of the most exciting games of the bowl season, so far.

Wouldn't hold my breath on too good of ratings for the Bham bowl. Hell I was personally only able to watch the first quarter due to the day and time slot.

That is some healthy growth right there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
