Wishing We Had A True Rival

[Guest nybullsfan]

I'm still pro Auburn annual game; good ppl and sure to be competitive

Unfortunately Auburn has no interest

Excuse me for my skepticism, but what makes you say this? You have a link where AU has come out publicly?

Personally I think they would be eager for some revenge for '07...

What the hell makes people think Auburn-USF could be a rivalry??? They got Bama and UGA, we'd never be anything bigger than 3rd.

Our best chance at a rivalry with a BCS school is Miami. If UCF joins the big East one day...that'd be tailored.

Geography in our conference hurts the only big distance rivalry is ND/USC.

Did UF postpone that because UCF asked for games to be played in Orlando, or was that the other way around?

My understanding was that UCF wanted out of the game (originally scheduled for 2008 I think) because they were trying to work that home and home deal with NCState.

Instead of charging UCF  the buyout for bailing on the contract, UF agreed to indefinitely postpone the next UF-UCF game.

I don't think there was any discussion about playing in Orlando.

FYI...I think you are confusing the original 2 games with USF that were already postponed at least once...with the 2nd game now postponed basically indefinitely.

UCF had two 1 game contracts with UF (1999 and 2006).

USF already pushed back the 2008 UF game to 2010...and with 2009 game only tentatively set for 2014 or 2015...with both parties thinking that game will eventually be canceled per USF's wishes.

Bulls, Gators agree to games

South Florida continues its climb to the big time with games against Florida in 2008 and 2009 in Gainesville.

South Florida's quest to become a football superpower on par with Florida State, Miami and Florida took another step forward Tuesday with the scheduling of a two-game series with the Gators in 2008 and 2009.

Both games will be played in Gainesville.

"We've been talking to South Florida for a year or so, maybe longer," Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley said. "The contract came back in late last week. We're excited about playing."

The announcement comes after the two highest-profile games in USF's six-year history, losses Sept. 14 at Arkansas and Saturday at No. 3-ranked Oklahoma, which aired on TBS and was the Bulls' first nationally televised game.

"The base guarantee is $500,000, but as we get closer to the game we've agreed to see what the market is at that point and time," Foley said. "I think it's only fair to them that we look at that since we're talking about 2008, 2009."

I hope this was a joke post... because if not.. you'd appear smarter just staying quiet

Did you research ANYTHING you posted?

I think some people need a reality check on here.

Auburn scheduling USF annually??? Come on, you can't be serious.

I don't need a quote. I have common sense.

USF is still a nobody on the national scene. No matter what anyone thinks on here.

Penn State - Minnesota

Notre Dame - Stanford

Army - Air Force

Navy - Air Force.

If that's all you got then I think you proved his point.

ND is a special case. The academys rivalries with eachother are a special case.

Then you have 3 "rivalries" on there that people who go to the school couldn't give a crap about.

implying the Penn State - Minnesota game isn't a classic  :

No reality check needed, just confirming whether your statement was your opinion

Grammatically, when you stated "Unfortunately Auburn has no interest," you were speaking for AU. Glad to hear that you're just speaking for yourself, and meant to say something on the order of  "Unfortunately, I believe Auburn has no interest"

As for myself, I missed the part about the "annual" series with AU. I agree, I don't think they'd be interested in that either. I do however, think they'd be interested in a future 1-and-1 to get some revenge.
