Character? Coaching? Kids lives sacrificed by coaches;

UCF: 1

USF: 0

Just sayin'

Sorry George, first you are dead, not sure if you know that or not. Second if we are keeping scores of dead players the score is

USF 1

UCF 1

What's UCF's record against dead player's parents in court?

Anyone that watches college football knows that these things are cyclical. Enjoy your up time now, because you'll be down again. Even the, "elite" programs go through ups and downs. Look at UF right now and it wasn't that long ago that Alabama wasn't very good.

This is very true..we will have our fun now and you will have yours......sometime...lot of catching up to do when it comes to several things....if Taggart demoted himself to recruiting coordinator you may have your time sooner

Only took an extra 20 years to get it?

Oh please, what it took was actually building a program and earning your way up. USF is a plastic facade program with a politician for a president and a spin master for a head coach.

And UCF's been building theirs since 1979. USF since 1997. Let's go back, 18 years and see what UCF had built by then.

1996 and UCF was an independent with a 5-6 record and had just moved up from 1aa. Not too impressive. Because at this same stage in development, USF:

  • USF was ranked for the first time exactly 10 years and 10 days after its inaugural game against Kentucky Wesleyan in 1997.[15]
  • USF rose at an unprecedented pace, earning an AP ranking 104 polls after becoming a full-time, bowl eligible FBS member in 2001. Boise State had the previous record, getting ranked after 115 AP polls during their seventh season.[15]
  • USF became the fastest team in the modern era of college football to go from upstart NCAA FBS school to a top-10 ranking on Sunday, Sept. 30. There were 106 AP polls and 112 Coaches Polls since USF became a full-time FBS member in 2001.[15]
  • The same can be said about the top-5 ranking, which took USF 107 weeks to achieve.[15]
UCF's claim to fame at the same point in time? The first football program to play in four different NCAA divisions (III, II, I-AA and I-A).[1]

Their only real claim to fame was Daunte Culpepper until then.

You want to compare development, then how about apples to apples?

Lmao at this post too. How are you going to compare a program that had no funding and that was actually only on equal footing for a few years and was actually SURPASSED in funding and conference by yours. This is splitting hairs just do you can feel better.

If you want to play that game then let's use university establishment date.We are the youngest university to ever win the BCS..see what I did there? What you are doing is just as much apples and oranges.

You guys sound worse than we did 5 years ago...attendance smack next?....GPA?

Good luck next season. I think some of your smack is weak sauce. USF will be better next season IMO..looking forward to it. Look forward to following recruiting. Stop being so bitter bulls. As one said these things go in cycles. No need to get into GPA, lawsuit, stadium, Wikipedia smack.

You're missing his point that programs have their ups and downs...you're actually going to cry that you didn't have budget when in this comparison our coach started out in a freggin trailor!!! Stop...just stop...

^ Last post was reasonable, jdbash, all except for the suggestion to stop the bitterness. With our program's status right now, a comment like that from a UCF fan is like telling a hurricane not to rain. Enjoy the spoils of victory, it's fun while it lasts!

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
