We got stuck playing UCF and it would be fine except this year they stunk it up and then it hurts our SOS. A 1-1 is fine with these teams and fits our plan of playing 2 BCS,2 Non BCS and 1 DIIA. We actually have a plan and it isn't so much a "we are superior" as it is "this is our goal". When playing the two Non BCS teams you want them to have winning records and even be their conference champs if possible and that is why UCF has been such a dissapointment. Three or four years ago if you looked at ECU there is no way we would want to schedule them but now you would. That is what makes scheduling so tough and why USM is such a good team to play. They win consistently and now it looks like ECU may be back there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This bold part shows what you know about anything USF (squat). We already have standing deal with Miami in place for home and home games. We also have an arrangement to play at UF.

[smiley=link.gif] ........  Ooops...sorry.Here it is: USF Student Attendance linkhttp://www.tboblogs.com/index.php/sports/comments/where-are-the-students/That wasn't the link I asked for, you simp. We all know the student attendance. You conveniently left out the first part of that post. Where's the link for your "Yes" answer to HB's question?:  Did that "famous study" also conclude that 10's of thousands of more students would attend a football game at an OCS rather than those played in one of the finest state of the art football stadiums in the country just a few miles away?I don't expect a response .... as usual ....  [smiley=loser.gif] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
