What is O'Liar's buyout ?

Some BCS teams are looking for coaches . . .

And O'Liar is looking for an out at this point...

O'Liar: HAHA I MADE THEM BUILD THIS CRAPPY STADIUM AND NOW I'M GOING TO LEAVE! SUCKAHS!

I would be seriously suprised if anyone looks George's way for coaching vacancies.

You are right, they will get rings, and another trophy in the case.  What is USF getting for their season?

I'd take *no* trophy over a C-USA championship trophy... If the *champion* is so bad that they lose to the Big East number 4 team 64-12.

Well juding from David Whitleys picture, usf fans are very used to no trophies.

Triple, what would you know about rings and trophies, do you have any?  You sir have no idea of what happens in college football.  Every team that goes to a bowl and wins gets a ring.  They are called competition rings and the schools usually have the bowl on one side and it says something else on the other, either their record or the team motto.  If USF players only care about winning the national chapionship, they are going to be disappointed for a very, very long time.  Getting those rings that you don't seem to care about is a huge part of playing.  We used to call those games, ring games where I played and I was lucky enough to get two of them.  We never won a conference championship but we did win two bowl games and I can look back at them and enjoy them.  I am willing to bet that USF's players would love to have them.  I am also willling to bet that if they got them last year for the Papa Johns Bowl, they are very important to them.

CUSA....................the worst conference in all of Division 1A since 2005

C-USA Champ goes to the Liberty.

the week before Last I played Texas Hold Em in Harrahs KC next to a guy who played Football for UK.

He had on a big ring and we started talking about his ring. He said that the school bought the team the ring just because and it was not an official SEC ring. He said he would give the ring back for a chance to beat UL this year and go to a good bowl.

Enjoy your rings and irrelevance

Sure he would, easy to say, but he would never give them up.  What you call irrelevance, I call a treasure.  Ask yourself this, if USF were to give rings out from last year(not sure if they did) would you like to have one right now?  If you say no, you're a liar.  You guys want to say USF gets more money, better recruiting, tell me what that does for the players on the 2007 football team.  Do they get any of that money, no, do any of the recruits from the 2008 class effect the seniors on this team, no. 

Easy for you to say it is irrelevant, you never earn one.

I know the champ goes to the liberty bowl, but since PPJs Bowl already took SMU, does that mean that if ucf gets upset they dont get any bowl game? I dont remember if there are any other Cusa tie ins....

The got to beat UCF 64 - 12.  The get to go to a better bowl game (regardless of it you win C-USA or not).  By your logic Georgia should transfer to the Sun Belt conference.  Been a couple of years since they won the SEC, I bet they could win the Sun Belt every year. 

Congratulations to UCF no doubt, but don't come on a USF board expecting USF fans to be singing the praises of UCF or C-USA.  Especially after the beating UCF took.

More to your point.. I went directly from high school to a four year university (USF).  My wife received an AA degree from a community college before going to UCF.  My degree from USF is proudly displayed on the wall of our office.  Her degree from UCF will also be displayed on our office wall next summer when she graduates.

Now guess where her irrelevant AA degree is displayed?  Probably same spot as that C-USA runner up trophy from a few years back.

If by earn you mean just play and get the school to fork out money for a bunch of rings that mean nothing; you are correct. The point this player made was that they did not win anything of note and because of that the school bought the team rings.

By all the jewelry you want for your team then they will just be the blinged out team that got poll axed 64-12 by the team they wanted to beat the most.

There was a poll on your board before the game and most answered that beating USF was more important or as important as winning that JV conf you play in.

USF players will remember beating WVU and Auburn for the rest of their lives and the #2 BCS ranking and the top 25 BCS ranking. I am sure that UTEP victory will go down in history as one of the greatest moments in UCif history.
