Mind numbing UCF/USF drivel, et al

[BDYZR]

The thread in itself was not so subtly flung poo ... 

Since they can't claim a series win over USF in a long while that's the best they can do.

UCF... Perfecting moral victories since 1963

UCF = PMvS

[ZeroBullChip]

They used to have an official website titled UCiF

You guys are idiots. I'll let UCF sweep us every season if it means we go to the NCAA tournament.

I'm sure most USF fans would agree with you ... even the idiots ... but not sure why you felt the need to make that point.

Because some of our fans are acting like tying a season series actually means squat. Calling a tournament appearance a moral victory? If anything WE are the ones claiming the moral victory in this thread.

Good luck to all FL teams:

Tallahassee Regional:

#1 FSU

#2 UCF

#4 Bethune Cookman

Columbia Regional:

#2 Stetson

Gainesville Regional:

#1 Florida

#2 Miami

#3 Jacksonville

Chapel Hill Regional

#2 Florida International

This is pretty hilarious. Seriously.

Now if I were to do it for FL schools with victories over top 10 ranked teams in football and basketball would it be amusing to you?

You're actually happy about having a disgruntled player who'll be sitting behind another player for the next 3 years?

Uh, Yeah .... What else would you call it in relationship to us? They didn't beat USF to make the tournament so how can you call it a victory over us? .... Still not sure why you felt the need to call fellow Bulls fans "idiots" over drivel like this .... but to each his own.

DaMarcus Smith to enroll at Central Florida

The recruiting saga of former Seneca High School quarterback DaMarcus Smith has taken another twist, according to his mother: He has decided to attend Central Florida after all.

It was the second time since January that Smith changed his mind. He committed to the University of Louisville shortly after head coach Charlie Strong was hired in December 2009.

“In his heart, he really wanted to be a Cardinal,†Smith's mother Daytonya Ward said Friday. “But as of this fall, he is going to be a Knight.â€

Smith tried to enroll at U of L in January, but was deemed ineligible by the NCAA clearinghouse. He reopened his recruiting process and signed a National Letter of Intent with Central Florida in February -- only to ask for his release from that letter in March.

Ward filed an appeal with the NLOI board and just last month said Smith was prepared to sit out the entire year if UCF did not release him from the binding letter of intent. On Friday morning, Ward said the weight of sitting out a year was ultimately what steered him back to his UCF commitment.

“The year that he had to sit out for the knee injury wasn't really good for him,†Ward said of Smith's season-ending injury as a junior. “Football is his passion it's what he loves, so I asked him, ‘Are you prepared to sit out another year?' And basically I think that's what it boiled down to, could he really do that.â€

Smith's interest in UCF after being committed to U of L for a year raised questions whether he was swayed by outside influences. The school was contacted by the NCAA and has begun an internal investigation after The New York Times and ESPN.com both had stories about connections between three UCF recruits and Kenneth Caldwell of Chicago, who is described as having a substantial criminal record and has apparent ties to sports agents. The Times story also said that former U of L basketball player Brandon Bender had helped in the recruiting Smith to UCF.

Ward reiterated that she has never been offered money or extra benefits to steer Smith to UCF.

“DaMarcus made this decision by himself,†Ward said. “Again, he was in turmoil because his heart was with the Cardinals. …As far as any other outside influences even down to family members and friends – no. He made this decision by himself.â€

Smith still must become eligible. Ward also said they were awaiting an appeal on two courses in question.

“We just needed a school pushing for the eligibility,†Ward said. “At this point it's kind of crunch time. We're going to see if we can get him in the summer session June 20. The NCAA has never given me a timeframe.â€

Hopefully he goes in with the right attitude, but I smell locker room poison here...
