Anyone still think Ray Jay is our stadium?

Kind of like using a player's death over a decade ago with the sole intent being to deflect the sad state of your football program now.

Except thats not what i'm doing at all, just making a point about integrity. A point that will stand as long as that statue does.

To answer a question from earlier.

At the very least, UCF has to own that one of O'Leary's players died on his watch. That fact (initially) cost his employers $15 million (there was an additional $5 million in attorneys fees).

Sorry Turd...USF Athletics doesn’t have the level of monetary support of those programs, besides how could they spend millions on upgrades to an OCS they don’t have?

They’ve had more than 20 years to accumulate the funds necessary.  And here we are without the first frigging dollar to get the thing started.  USF should really just fold the football program if they want to invest in it like an NAIA program while competing in the FBS.

My ignore button has gotten more use today than in my entire history of being at TBP.

I really didn't care about Friday's game, but seeing how the UCF jackholes here(other than footnfan) behave I want to beat them down so badly the reverberations of the beatdown cause enough harmonic force to shake their erector set stadium to pieces.

You need a big bag of lemons to make lemonade...USF’s bag is very very tiny.

An OCS isn’t the magic genie you seem to think it will be.

I really have never seen anyone call an OCS a magic genie

They have said that one would cure all of our woes.

They said the same about having ucf as a rival, they are known liars.

You’re right.  That’s why a HUGE number of schools (at all levels of college football) have either constructed a new OCS or have dumped colossal money into improving/ expanding their existing OCS over the two decades during which USF has sat around thinking we are clever for playing in a 2/3 empty sterile pro stadium with zero atmosphere.

Odds are USF is right and everyone else is wrong.

It’s a recruiting tool, right?  That’s why we have been forced to start a defensive lineman at linebacker this season, right?  That red-seated recruiting tool is working wonders!  Must be that freaking awesome pirate ship.

Correct. That is nothing more than a straw man argument.

How many FBS schools play in the same town as an NFL stadium? Us, Pitt, Temple, San Diego State, and Miami all play in NFL stadiums.  USC has shared and temporarily shares an off-campus stadium with an NFL team.  Georgia State played in the Falcons Stadium until they received the Braves old stadium.  A vast majority of FBS schools don't have that as an option.

On your last point, you don't know what our recruiting would be like compared to what it is with an OCS vs. playing at Ray Jay, so we can only go by what recruits have said.  Playing in an 2/3 or even 1/2 empty stadium sucks regardless of where it is located.
