UCF: Will Pride Be Enough to Compete on Saturday? - UCGrad1992 - 10-27-2015 09:18 PM Uh...no. I wouldn't be surprised if UCF plays better overall early in the game but as it goes along the back room beating should become reality. Quote:UCF football playing for personal pride against CincinnatiPride, Schmide RE: UCF: Will Pride Be Enough to Compete on Saturday? - OKIcat - 10-28-2015 07:31 AM We'll find out what happens Saturday, but I'd prefer a winless team not come in here the same week their coach was fired trying to win one for the Gipper. Given O'Leary's accomplisments @ UCF it's surprising they pulled the plug midseason.

Given O'Leary's accomplisments @ UCF it's surprising they pulled the plug midseason. Hate to say it but this was the first thing I thought of as well when I heard he resigned. When you add to the fact Danny Barrett is a UC alum/HOF player it only adds more fuel to the fire. If you look at UCF's results this year, the only game where they were completely blown out was last week against Houston. They actually were ahead of Temple through three quarters until they lost 30-16. There are still a lot of pieces from their team from last year still on this squad. Despite the record this UCF team is more talented than the UConn team we saw last week (which on talent alone resembled a lower tiered MAC school last week IMO). RE: UCF: Will Pride Be Enough to Compete on Saturday? - SuperFlyBCat - 10-28-2015 08:08 AM I expect that UCF will play hard, but I think we eventually turn Hollman over a couple of times and win by double digits.

Final 45-31 And ignoring UConn leading 40-3 at the end of 3? Final 40-13 And losing to FIU, Furman?

RE: UCF: Will Pride Be Enough to Compete on Saturday? - bearcatmark - 10-28-2015 09:05 AM UCF might be the worst team in the country. No team has a worse loss than their loss to Furman. they've lost to 3 or 4 teams below 100 in the sagarins. No reason for this not to be a blood bath.

Last time we said that we needed a last minute TD to avoid the worst loss in a generation. RE: UCF: Will Pride Be Enough to Compete on Saturday? - AeroCat - 10-28-2015 09:31 AM Our team tends to play to their competition... They play good teams tough and go into easy games asleep.

Maybe since Miami is a rivalry game they turn into the hulk when they play us and revert back to Bruce Banner the rest of the season. So maybe we won't have to worry about that vs. UCF since they aren't a 'rival'. Although you look at a team like USC who is now playing much better after their HC got bounced (albeit under much different circumstances than UCF).

Let's hope that rain really does hold off until after the game and we see an unprecedented aerial assault from the men in Black. It remains a must win for UC bowl eligibility. Hey, not to derail the thread, but did anyone get those complimentary drink coasters that were to be given out last Saturday? We were in the stadium nearly 40 minutes before kickoff and never even saw anyone who did receive them. And none of the staff I saw near the gates knew anything either. Just curious... RE: UCF: Will Pride Be Enough to Compete on Saturday? - Bearcat Jimmy-93 - 10-28-2015 09:53 AM I was too. They told me to come back at halftime. I did there was no vouchers and no one @ the gates knew what I was talking about. I'm glad you brought the coaster thing up.b RE: UCF: Will Pride Be Enough to Compete on Saturday? - AeroCat - 10-28-2015 09:56 AM (10-28-2015 09:50 AM)OKIcat Wrote: Hey, not to derail the thread, but did anyone get those complimentary drink coasters that were to be given out last Saturday?

I got them, but I didn't get there early. I told my buddy that we should head over to the pickup site since there were only 100 people left in the stadium. They had tons of extras, but wouldn't give them out without a coupon. I told him that we should keep our eyes open for a coupon on the ground on the way out. Sure enough, within 50 feet we found one of the coupons. A little searching and we found a second one. Honestly, I was a little underwhelmed. The designs are cool, but they are basic paper coasters. I'm trying to find a way to make them waterproof. Any ideas? Polyurethane? RE: UCF: Will Pride Be Enough to Compete on Saturday? - AeroCat - 10-28-2015 09:57 AM They were also handing out a crap-ton of coozies at the south gate near the student section. They were handing those out in droves. I got a set of four of those.

As long as Diaco doesn't decide to add us to the Civil Conflict trophy we should be OK.

We walked into the stadium 15 mins before kickoff and they were handing out tickets for the coasters. I think they gave me 3 of them and my buddy 4 of them. My buddy was going to go after the game and redeem all of his tickets for the coasters but I haven't seen them yet.

I don't think many people redeemed the coupons. They had boxes and boxes of them left at the end of the game. RE: UCF: Will Pride Be Enough to Compete on Saturday? - cpawfan - 10-28-2015 10:29 AM I am not happy with the process for handing out coupons. Not all entrances had coupons and those that didn't have them also had workers who were completely uninformed about how the process for getting coasters worked. I entered the stadium near TUC 15 minutes after the gates opened and was given erroneous information. I never got a coupon, but did get one set of coasters because someone took pity on me at the end of the game.
