UCFers hoping to Renew Rivalry now

[Danm1983]

UCF couldn't beat ECU with him, what makes them think they'll beat us now with him here.

I don't think he'll schedule UCF. Our schedules are decently shored up for the next 2-3 years, but I do have a feeling he will look them over and try to up the competition, maybe drop some of the lesser cupcake games each year. He's had proven success winning some bigger games, just like Leavitt did. They upset WVU and VT in 2008, and have had some other wins and impressive losses (cue moral victory bitchfest).

I'm going to wonder if we keep playing the FCS team each year and hand them the big paycheck, or try to up that...or keep the FCS team as a confidence booster, and try to up the usual Sunbelt teams. I'd love for us to beat Notre Dame though and prove Holtz > Kelly lol.

I'd sum things up this way.

USF fires a head coach USF believe is a liar.

UCF hires a head coach that UCF knows is a liar.

Holtz’s Take on USF-UCF Rivalry

USF played UCF for four consecutive seasons starting in 2005, and the Bulls won each time.

When USF showed little interest in renewing the rivalry after the contract between the schools expired last season, UCF fans and Orlando media members ripped USF officials for their lack of interest in building a long-term rivalry between the schools, located less than 100 miles apart.

New USF coach Skip Holtz knows all about playing UCF. At East Carolina, Holtz’s Pirates faced UCF every season as members of Conference USA. Holtz lost his first game against the Knights, but won four in a row from 2006-09.

What does Holtz think about a USF-UCF rivalry game each season?

“I don’t schedule, so I’m not going to get to make that decision,’’ he said Saturday. “If [athletic director] Doug [Woolard] were to come down and say, ‘Ok, we’ve got some schedule situations and we have the opportunity to play them [uCF} or them, who do you want to play?’

“I would rather play Florida, Florida State or Miami, because I think that’s the level to where we want to build this program to and I think it’s impossible to get to that level unless you can compete at that level. And that’s where we want to play. Those are the type of teams competing for the national championship. That’s where we want to build this program.’‘

At East Carolina, the Pirates rarely faced non-BCS schools in nonconference games, playing North Carolina, Virginia Tech, N.C. State and West Virginia regularly during Holtz’s tenure.

“I’m not opposed to [playing UCF regularly] and I’m certainly not afraid of it, but from a standpoint of where we’re trying to build [our program], I want to compete against some of those other schools before them.’’

Bottom line is that UCiF needs us much more than we need them.  They need butts in seats to pay for all the debt they've gotten themselves into and can't do it with the lightweights from C-DOA.

They served us nicely as our buyout from C-DOA.

We wanna play the best out there, not ucif
