UCF Nation has spoken: It's all about USF, stupid!

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it.

I knew that there is clearly one team that the budding UCF Nation wants to beat more than any other this season, and that team is USF.

I took one of my handy-dandy Open Mike polls yesterday morning and here are the results 24 hours later:

There were nearly 200 votes (196 to be exact) as of 6 a.m. this morning and 64 percent of the electorate voted South Florida as UCF's biggest game, 22 percent voted Miami, 6 percent voted for the Conference USA showdown with Tulsa and 8 percent voted for "Other."

Wrote one voter: "There is no game on UCF's schedule bigger than USF. This may sound crazy or (like an) exaggeration, but I would take 1-13 with a win against USF over 13-1 with the loss to USF. But that's just me."

I don't know if I would go that far, but the point is well-taken. And the point is this:

To the country's electorate, it's all about the economy, stupid, but to UCF Nation's  electorate, it's all about the Bulls, stupid.

This night game on the road is such a trap.

Basically it is Superior talent v. Every other tangible and intangible advantage in competitive sports.

Not to be nit picky, but...

If UCF only wins one game they won't be in the CUSA championship game or a bowl game.  So they'd finish 1-11. 

I just thought I'd point it out, since it is a distinct possibility.  I think they can squeak by SMU.  :D

    "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."
