USF and UCF care, the problem is nobody else does...The only way to have a relevant rivalry is to have both teams in the top 25 consistently then maybe.

Right now nationally we are known as the team that was  ranked #2 at one time, UCF is known for their Fiesta Bowl win.

We need to take care of our own house and get things right instead of talking up anything. This is time for action.

Go Bulls!

 

Winning definitely helps...but there are many teams winning and none of the P5 is calling.  Winning in college football comes and goes.  Ex:  Baylor, Duke.  What I'm saying is halt the negative nancies, and start selling USF (and the rivalry with UCF) like it's Wonder Bread, even if it's stale.  Words travel fast, and if your own fans are down on the program, then how in the world will anybody be up for it?

12 pm game.

Look at Cincy and Memphis games... not even 100k viewers... and those are the leaders for big 12?

Wow a Tuesday night game that was the only game on TV in primetime beat us and a game with 150 points that featured an undefeated team slightly edged us? We were playing in probably the worst time/day slot ever. Everyone who cared was either at the game or black friday shopping.

UF football is in a standstill and experiencing their own changes.  UM football has not been what they used to be in a long time.  Both of those programs have not had the same appeal with their rivalry against FSU. 

 

We need to embrace UCF and vice versa as if we are brothers.  We can both hate each other because that's what we do in sports, but we need them just as much as they need us.  We need to talk the rivalry up like it has been the best for both programs, even if it is not true, and that we could be our own brand of "Rivalry" in the state of Florida.  Even though it is just rumors going around about the Big 12 expansion, we all need to be sales people and start selling the positive factors involving USF and UCF.  I mean, from one coast to the other, the vast amount of alumni and potential interest in a new rivalry is ready to blossom.  We can all contribute and get both of us into a P5 by talking a big game about the potentials of having both of these teams in a P5 conference.  To who, you shall say?  To anyone!  Even to FSU, UF, and UM fans.  In this country, where not only money talks, but also rumors (true or not) spread like a virus.  If you truly care about your Alma mater be the sales person that can sell the gum off the bottom of your shoe.  Pretend you are telling the little league coach your son/daughter can hit the crap out of the ball even when you know he/she is afraid of standing at the plate.  Worry about how you are going to teach him to hit later.  Let's get that opportunity!

 

I thought our players did one thing really well regarding our last game with UCF:  talked a big game.  Yes, we got shut-out, but I believe they were trying to do more than just hyping themselves up for the game.  And that was to sell the the next big thing:  USF vs UCF!!  Don't dwell on the negatives, because there will always be at least one, even during times of success.  If we don't all effect more positive images of this brand (USF vs UCF), we will find ourselves joining UAB very soon.

 

This type of thinking -- will have UCF passing us by...

 

All the marketing money that USF spent hyping the UCFvUSF game ... did a lot of good for UCF....

 

 

We need to build our product independently of them.

    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.
