Isn't their capacity close to 43k in the wok?

 

45k

 

And if USF_Bullwinkle bothers to check out their "announced" attendance, he can easily see that "attendance near capacity" hasn't been the case, obviously with the exception of the 2nd half of last season, and the beginning of this one (their attendance has already dropped some this season after their losses.)

 

If you talk to ANYONE that's not wearing their armor upside down, they'll tell you that UCF can't even get the students to go to the games.

 

Just found this from the Temple game:

The students section is packed. The East side looks somewhat thin, but the students and West side are packed.

 

Bet you can find pics of a packed RayJay... As little as two years ago they were begging the students to sell tickets to anybody that might show up. Students could get regular tickets for $5.00.

I know for the FSU game it was like that, but against other teams at home like a Temple this hasn't been the case for a long time. The UCF students fill out the 12,000 they are allotted thus your statement is invalvid is all I'm saying. Not trying to argue just showing it like it is.

45K ...

 

 

I think it's actually closer to 44k ...

89% capacity is close in my book.

 

What about 77%?

October 18 2014 - 12:00 PM - Tulane

Bright House Networks Stadium • Orlando, FL - 35,015

 

...Or 63%?

November 24, 2012 - 12:00 PM - UAB

Bright House Networks Stadium • Orlando, FL - 28,602

 

We shouldn't hash on anyone with 35,015 attendance for a noon game against a crap team. 2012 against UAB? Not going there. We need to rise up Bulls!

 

 

 

This isn't valid either. ucif has been near capacity in all of their home games against junk opponents.

 

 

 

 

...And again, this is announced, which is higher than actual.

And remember those aren't butts in seats numbers, so they're even further away from capacity than our mathematically challenged "fan" seems to want to understand ...

Whoa, Chief, no one is bashing them for those numbers. We're bashing you for lying about those numbers ....

I'm tired of reading article/ comments of people saying the Big 12 would be better off taking UCF, we are 4-1 in the five meetings and honestly we were very close in one of our worst years in history to still beating them on the road. They may be better at this very moment, but that won't stay for long. USF will be back to competing with every team in the state of Florida very soon. Not to mention UCF is yet to beat Florida, FSU, or Miami, wish people would know their history instead of just last year.

Aside from head-to-head record, we dont even sniff UCF's jock in terms of football program success
http://www.winsipedia.com/ucf/vs/south-florida

Actually we do. what makes them so much better exactly?

Aside from conference titles, ten-win seasons, bcs appearances, i guess not that much.

 

Wins since 2010:

UCF 43

USF 21

Conference Championships:

UCF 3

USF 0

10+ win seasons:

UCF 4

USF 0

 

BCS Bowl wins:

UCF  1

USF  0

Seasons finished ranked in Top 25:

UCF 2(1 being a Top 10 ranking)

USF 0

Team APR (academic progress rating):

UCF 994

USF 973

Players in the NFL:

UCF 16

USF 13

Coaches over the last 5 years:

UCF 1

USF 3

 

UCF: On Campus Stadium

 

I was more talking about FBS era for both teams. Way to take wins since USF has been down and you won C-USA twice. Not impressive at all. We still have the head to head wins, which wins talk for themselves.  We have more first round picks  then, more weeks spent in the ap top 25, a better bowl record, and you have not beaten a P-5 team in Florida. I have saved my favorite statistic other then head to head wins, is this one

 

Wins vs Power 5

USF 28

UCF 8

 

Nothing cool about OCS if no body comes.

 

This isn't valid either. ucif has been near capacity in all of their home games against junk opponents.

 

 

Didn't have to go far back to see that's not valid:

 

10/18/14  Tulane 35,015

8/29/13    Akron   35,115  

 

And that's announced attendance, which doesn't reflect capacity ...

 

BullWinkle, 10,000 seats empty is a lot of empty seats. And if USF goes 12-1 you can bet there will more then 45,000 people there every week.

If USF goes 12-1 you can bet it's a different coaching staff.

Ambien is chumming the waters.  Now this thread will take off! :popcorn:

lol

 

About the attendance, UCF's Student section is the most consistent so I don't know how they can be criticized. Crowd could be a little late from the Tailgate for certain opponents or leave a little too early but they are at or close to 12K strong  just about every single home game. Noon games in Florida always have problems. Have a good weekend and good luck w Houston :)

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22

    Last I checked the scoreboard doesn't have a spot for current bank balance on it.
