Oh damn it. Not again. Can we just move this to the smack talk forum now? I think Rick Scott should intervene... and throw Mike Biatchi in prison. At least force him to shut the hell up.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...
The views expressed by Mike Biatchi are not representive of the views of UCF and don't constitute rational thought.

UCF has ZERO influence of this guy's agenda. Nobody at UCF knows what he'll pull out next. It's to get hits and create a stir in the media. Now we've got politics involved. This all leads to radio conversations and what not out there. And especially linking the articles on message boards...look what it has stirred.

Which what would happen if a 5th FLA Univ joined the BCS Ranks...as more publicity for the State (especially the Orlando area) with more Nationally televised games, which brings more notoriety, which helps bring more tourists & fans = more $$$$ flowing into the FLA Economy which means more Jobs.

You just made a great case as to why he should get involved.

Maybe the talk of Houston being the frontrunner is true

I'm definitely opposed to government getting involved in conference realignment issues and scheduling issues. Each university and conference has a duty to do what is in their best interests.

Also, lost in the hullabaloo is that the "Plan" was to capture a portion of the Northeast market. VPI has failed miserably in that endeavor. Without Syracuse, Pitt or WVU, there is no Northeast market for the ACC. Boston doesn't even care about BC!

In fact, the only good thing that came out of VPI going to the ACC is that with Miami and FSU so weak, VPI was considered the strongest team and with their Rutgeresque scheduling they are perenial pre-season top 15 teams. Not much of a bragging point that the ACC poached three teams from the Big East and they now are the power teams!

NOTE: This could happen to us if TCU runs roughshod over us, too.

Just imagine how awful the ACC would be if they had taken Syracuse instead of VT. It boggles the mind. VPI has played USC, Alabama, Nebraska and Boise State since going to the ACC. Hardly "Rutgersesque". I dare say it's stronger than Syracuse's OOC of late.

This is hilarious, he doesnt speak for UCF and he is a Gator guy that has blasted UCF many times and is a total jerk. BUT now you agree with him and love his articles and fellow ucf fans cant wait to run to internet boards and post it, therefore helping the hack. You guys are being used by this turd and are falling for it.

Great Scott! Maybe UCF needs 1.21 giga-watts of electricity?

Agreed, Syracuse had a few bad years since the raid. Check history, Syracuse routinely has what most believe to be tough schedules. It is their policy. VPI historically has one of the weakest. Beamer's policy (before the change was forced on him) was to schedule as many cupcakes as possible. As for the slate, Syracuse has played ND, Penn State, BC, and has Penn State, Notre Dame, USC on the schedule and is looking to work things out with Miami. Oh, yeah. VPI cancelled the series with Syracuse and had to replace them late with Colgate, but, hey, Syracuse would have played them. Apparanetly VPI was scared. There is more, too, that is what is off the top of my head.

(Actually, VPI thought they deserved a 2-1, though they did not negotiate a 2-1, so they pulled out)

We'll not discuss how VPI did nothing in BBall and is now an ACC power?

Funny how UcF wants USF's help in obtaining a Big East invitation yet they are constantly badmouthing USF. They must see the writing on the wall: eternal C-DOA irrelevance.

Then again if USF was doomed to that fate I would go down fighting too...

Where has UCF badmouthed USF? Let alone constantly? I'm not picking that up - maybe you can back up that claim with evidence and such.

You mean like ensuring that a couple million extra dollars get into UCF's coffers to be spent in the Orlando economy, bringing additional tourists into the state with BE fanbases visiting, and also several million dollars in economic spending that can be directly attributed to UCF-USF games with 20,000 fans traveling the I-4 corridor?

If you listen to your fanbase, which feeds your local fishwrap, UCF is always the powerless victim....while USF is the evil villain.

Its the same broken record...

Nowhere did it say when we received permission from the Board of Regents to start football that USF was REQUIRED to enable the growth and access of competitor program. Moreover, I find all the "win-win" talk hypocritical when it was UCF who was one of the most initial vocal critics of USF starting a football program. They spoke how there wasn't any room for 5 Division I-A programs and how USF would be doomed to the same sorry existence on and off the field that plagued the first 15 years of UCF football.

Bottom line: USF is not telling you how to run your program and we expect the same in return.

Tell you what: you stop crying about our schedule and how we are supposed to vote....and we'll do the same.

UCF != UCF Fans on random message boards.

Where is UCF saying USF is required to support UCF? And what am I crying about? I never even mentioned the USF schedule or how USF should be voting.

Funny b/c we are ranked #20 in football. Where is South Florida? Exactly what sport are you good at this year? That Big East logo hasn't done much for you guys.

LOL. One year ranked and you guys are the bomb. Hilarious.
Your basketball team is MAYBE heading into NIT. Guess what? we did that last year. Lets compare past 5 years and you wont like that comparison one bit.

Oh boy. This thread broad out EVERYONE'S inner-troll. I thought some of us might have more control.

As I've always stated, I hate Bianchi.

Either he's writing up hit pieces, or he's so in love with us its embarrassing. I don't care what he thinks, he's an ass and his opinion should be disregarded, regardless of content.

So let me get this straight....

You finish the year ranked for the first time EVER b/c you beat a sorry sack of teams from C-DOA and beat the worst Georgia team in 30 years and now you think you have arrived?

In case you haven't noticed USF has been to 6 straight bowl games, and was regularly in the Top25 the previous three years. In addition, we have beaten 2 out of the 3 "Big Three" teams on the road. You keep deluding yourself that you are any good, but USF would have spanked you like we always have if we played this year.

Good grief, if we got to finish the year against Memphis and Rice we would have won 10 games this year too...

Get really comfortable in your C-DOA hell...

This guy made the accusation (w/o any proof)...and UCF must be comfortable with the message the Orlando Sentinel is putting out for UCF. Obviously they feel the same...but without any proof. I would say that if my over $200-million investment in facilities was in danger of being damned to CDOA hell....I would come out stronger than just imply what USF is doing. I would lay out the facts...and see what happens. Desperate times calls for desperate actions...or in this case desperate lies.


BTW 1 << 15

That is, if UCF is the BEST option for the BigEast USF would have no power to stop your addition.

The bottom line here is that UCF has noticed all the activity in Philadelphia and are beginning to realize they are NOT going to be BigEast #18. Hence they need a scapegoat and villain to take the heat.

Enter USF, who UCF fans would easily believe invented cancer if it was printed by Bianchi or the guy who runs your rivals site. Wouldn't expect much more from a bunch of frustrated lemmings.
