We have gone through our allotment of tickets at the lower prices points.  We are trying to secure more if we can.

A USF bowl game = more USF football.  Playing in a great facility.  Don't have to pay to travel. Can get friends to go bowling for a change.  Don't have to go to Birmingham again.

I think that's what makes it tough on the AAC. Not only are our opponents CUSA 2.0, but our bowl affiliation is marginally interesting. On one hand we - as fans - are expected to paint a smiley face on "Hey, it could have been worse" and "at least we're going to a bowl game. You know, there's a lot of other schools that ..." . One loss per season and your conference championship odds plummet. Two? Un uh. As good as UCF has been, the big prize is a NYD bowl. Not playoff bowl, just NYD.

And for us, we have yet to win our division, conference or escape the clutches of the Oh Yeah Bowl.  

We complain about season ticket sales and attendance, and we all get the vicious-circle revenue joke. Tampa's a tough market. And a 7-5 season and yet another also-ran bowl doesn't make it any easier on the spreadsheet side of enterprise.  This is the world in which we live. Yeah, there is the bowl game. And what if we lose said game? Well, we can all take solace in the fact that "hey...we got more practice! Just wait till next year!". 

Mainly, 'cause there ain't no alternative. 🙄

The energy of our stadium is so awful I am not sure how many times I can keep coming back.  Everyone sitting around not caring or clapping or anything while we are down one score to Orlando.  It's the truth.  

People say it's not about standing or sitting, but we have another problem all together.

I need to figure out a unique strategy or the Wisconsin and BYU games because good lord...

Very true, the atmosphere is a bore fest. I have been against a OCS, but maybe that is what is needed.

FIFY

I'm okay with boring football if we are winning.  Boring football and losing is just too much.

I'm sorry but a stupid stadium has no bearing on my excitement for out football team.  What does get me in a somber mood is a boring and losing team.

The Gasparilla folks probably saw the outpouring of support at today’s game and decided to pass. This also means no match up with a P5 team.

Meaning a loss against a non p5 would be devastating to this program. A win might not be viewed as an over-achievement but it would bring us to 8-5 for the season.  8-5 at least helps build the appearance of moderate success for a team with a new qb and young players.
