We don’t DESERVE any type of success in football

Are there Spark notes or should I just wait for the movie?

I agree with your right to express yourself. In that same light everyone else gets to express theirs. Your position is not more virtuous than others.  Good day.

I am disgusted with a lot of USF fans where did this false sense of entitlement come from? Why would the Football Gods bless us? When we were 7-0 “fans” were already making posts that we will lose the last 4 of 5 games. We crap on our A.D, crap on our coaches, crap on our players, and pretty much crap of our team. Why would the Football Gods bless us with success? We are ungrateful, have a false sense of entitlement, and lack ANY kind of FAITH in this team. I don’t care what religion you are. You can be Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish Muslim, or even an atheist. In the end, the energy you put out in the world is ALWAYS going to be the energy you receive. Many of you spoke/typed the negativity into existence. We were undefeated and yet we still was pissed off. Grant it- many of us, including myself thought we would have more success and were wrong. Those things happen. But what will predicting losing the rest of the games for the season, crying for coaches to get fired and crapping on the players do? Rather than simply getting over it and still enjoying the season, you just pumped sooooo much negativity into the “spirit” of the rest of this season.  Regardless of wins/losses you should still love and support your team. This has to be hands down the most emotionally draining year as a USF football fan ever! How do you handle disappointment in real life? Do you give up when you don’t get that job after the interview or do you keep searching and find a better job? Did you give up when you got sick or did you fight the sickness? When your kids have bad days, do you tell them it will get better or do you tell them life sucks and don’t bother to have hope? Many of you who are crying about UCF’s success don’t realize that, they went 0-6, then 6-6 Scott Frost 1^st season and then went 12-0. It didn’t happen overnight. The past 2 seasons we won at least 10 games and then lost the foundation of that team to graduation. We are starting over and already at 7 wins with 3 games left. Have some patience. I’m a Saints fan and our last Superbowl was 2011. Since then our coach was suspended for a year, a beloved player was murdered, we missed the playoffs a few times and had many heart breaking losses. This year, we have a chance to go back to the Superbowl. We just signed Dez Bryant and he suffered a season ended injury in his 1st practice. I still feel my Saints will win the Superbowl. But if they don’t win it, I will still love my team. Believe it or not, USF is NOT the only team underachieving or not winning conference titles.  Anyways in closing -

1.       USF will get better. We have tons of talent that will grow bigger, stronger and are more seasoned.

2.       CCS will be fine. I would love if Gilbert leaves and Shaun king becomes the offensive coordinator. If Gilbert stays then I hope the players learn to be successful in his system and keep it moving.

3.       BJM had great success his first year here. He lost a ton of talent and needs time to rebuild the defense.

4.       We have a great recruiting class, several transfers either playing for the first time or playing their 2^nd year year. McDoom mutha*****, McDoom baby! He will be lights out next year in addition to Horne when he comes back from injury. We will have way more speed next year.

5.       The undersized “youngins” on our team will have all summer to add bulk, add muscle, and will have physically grown by the start of next year.

6.       As for this year, if we can finish out with 9-10 wins including a bowl victory I will be happy. If not, I hope the disappointing season provides enough motivation and determination to make the players step it up. Hell I hope it pisses them off.

7.       I will still watch USF football this year, so that I can see which players will have a bigger impact next year. I will also simply enjoy whatever “highlights” our players produce and the journey to greatness since it will take longer than I expected.

 

P.S if you are going to “stop” buying season tickets, going to the games or watching USF football please keep it to yourself. It’s not a “man-law”, but it’s just not that “manly” to announce it.  What do you want us to do? Do you want us to beg you to change your mind? Do what you feel you have to do buddy we don’t care.

UCF went 6-6 to 13-0 it happened over night. And telling someone not to voice there opinion is against what this board is about.

People seem to pray 2 this mystical god that will get rid of CCS everyday lol

Equally effective on the results of our team, unless you are writing big checks to the athletic department!

UCF fan boy out of the bandwagon, how was your message board during the 0-13 season compared to this? Asking for a friend...

To the OP @Gatorbull325

Please excuse me for not reading that entire initial post-- it looked very long and involved, lacked any paragraph structure and basically turned me off from the start for one reason--- WE DON'T CONTROL THE UNIVERSE. At least I don't-- none of my silly luck inspired beliefs have the slightest impact on how a college football team does. Nothing said on this board is hurting USF football-- other than perhaps turning off some fair weather fans.

We are simply voicing our opinion. If you want to believe our team was all puppy dogs and rainbows after reaching 7-0, you were clearly not watching the games closely enough. We were barely scrapping by in those wins-- some of them in miraculous fashion to be sure. I was happy we won the game but am a realist and understood that our team did not deserve a lofty ranking. We were mediocre at best and a team that was in a rebuilding mode. The suckers who felt we simply reloaded and that our talent was so so great kept hyping the situation like they do every time we win on the field until the hype bubble bursts and they awaken to see what the team has to offer-- which is less than stellar. It was always at that level-- but too many people wanted to wish us into some form of prominence. That level is earned the hard way-- with quality play, players, coaching and good fan support.

Whatever you proposed in that long winded diatribe was apparently welll received. I might even go back and read some of it. But if you honestly believe that people posting something negative on this board in even the slightest way impacts our team-- you are fooling yourself. People are allowed to have opinions. I don't agree with your thought process (or you name on this board-- get rid of that GATOR crap pronto - this is a Bulls board!) but I also believe you have the right to express it. Please respect others ability to voice their thoughts however dammning (sp) it might be for your view of the team or the fans in general.

I am an alumnus of this school and a fan of this team no matter what they do on the field. This board should welcome all points of view not just the ones that promote the current people involved. Coaches are paid excessive amounts of money to coordinate these young scholars on the field of play-- to win games and get the most out of them. When they are not meeting those objectives, we should feel free to talk about it.

Hey buddy, no hard feelings on not reading my entire post. It was pretty long. It still pulled 4 paragraphs out of you  And I am allowed to have opinions......of other's opinions.  While I respect everybody's point of view, all of the whining is draining the energy out of the board. Also, I am not getting rid of the Gator part of my name, b/c I am a proud alumni.  Have a great day sir.
