We are practically ranked 53rd! I do not see the big deal in this really, besides the attention from it.  Its an awesome feeling as both college and MLB baseball approach!

[Apis Bull]

Actually, we're tied for 51st!!

You mean Vote, not votes.  As for UCF, we will do just fine, we always do.

[Guest Guest]

Nobody cares about UCF.  Go write something on your own board...

[Guest AstroBull]

Someone wrote something about UCF first.  Relax and let it go

Thats good, but why is Lamar getting more votes then us?  Where the blank is Lamar, and why would a school nobody has heard of and is probably the size of our lakeland campus getting more votes then the 13th largest university in the country?  Here's why, our AD settles for mediocrity in every sport.   There is no accountability or pressure to win.
