True that...

It's pretty sad when USF fans have to stick for UCF ;^)

Honestly, I think UCF has just a good a chance to win the AAC as UL if they can stay healthy. You guys looked like we used to look back when we were good. Playing with passion, toughness, swagger etc... the only difference is that USF has always found a way to win tough OOC games....and saved our poor performance for conference play. Sigh....

And to the Rutgers and Cincy guys I bet they would trade our BCS bowl record and win loss record with their better win loss record and no bcs bowl wins.

Calm down. You seem to be intent on comparing USF to UL.

The good thing is that we can all tune in on Oct 18 and watch the comparison….

And why is that? No one except the UL fan brought that comparison. There is no one here arguing that USF has had more success than UL

With all the smack talking by "you should be thanking God that Maryland was plucked by the B10" fan, it would be wounderful to see UCF put the smackdown on UL as it drifts away to the shores of the ACC. Moreover, I don't hate UL and respect its accomplishments, but I don't want it to win the American, play in another BCS bowl, and then jump into its lifeboat while waving goodbye....

I have no problems with UL winning our BCS bid if they earn it. The facts are that their athletic programs have been very successful and should be applauded. I have the upmost respect for what UL has accomplished but that doesn't mean that I'm not going to call it out when some of their fans try to exaggerate those accomplishments.

You argued that we had no more important OOC wins than USF based only on having more than 8 wins, but the fact is that Louisville won a large number of OOC games in the other aq conferences, I also did not say Louisville has won every OOC game we have lost our fair share but I also think that is bad. I knock us when we lose to someone we should have beaten, moral victories are fake hope. I am not knocking or dumping on UCF, read the post again I say clearly that UConn rant compelled me to say if I railed against them I have to mention UCF's loss and say we need to win these types of games. You would have thought I insulted your children or claimed Louisville was Alabama or something.. I simply stated that we need to win these games and it hurts us all when a team chokes at home. Louisville has done it before, but when attacked I will point out that of the teams left we are among the top in winning against P5 teams, but yeah we have dropped games like to Utah. I am not being hateful and if people take it that way sorry.

this thread is a joke, should be on smack board from post #1. Its not UCF or anyone else's fault UL scheduled so piss poorly they are literally being jumped by 1 loss P5 teams. Don't count on other teams to prop up your team. Do what your team needs to do (schedule and beat relevant teams) and you will have no one to blame but yourself. Literally half of the league would be undefeated with an OOC schedule filled with such cupcakes as Ohio and FIU.

If you are that mad about getting no credit for playing the sisters of the poor, that is your problem and one you need to take up with your AD or whoever makes your schedules. Go on the road and play a quality team if you have to. We played USC as a result of a 2-1. Otherwise stop crying about having no respect because as of now you haven't done anything this year to earn any.

We are undefeated, and ranked 7th in the nation. This is not smack talk.

I've agreed with the premise of the thread (see below):

Very true…. That game was not only a big loss for UCF but for the American as well. UCF had the Game (cocks) handed to it on a “silver platter” when SC’s starting QB was knocked out of the game. Unfortunately, UCF literally handed the game back to a very respectable SEC opponent on a “golden platter” with multiple picks. UCF’s QB didn’t look like the same person that picked apart PSU. The coaching didn’t help either in my opinion. UCF was out coached the second half (SC played more physical) and that trick/pick play epitomized being out coached. With all that occurred, UCF still played ok. However, playing ok is not acceptable when you should have won a nationally televised game against a very respectable SEC opponent. UCF had more speed than the much physical SC, but didn’t maximize this advantage by running an up-tempo offense the entire game. Despite the loss, I was still proud that UCF played a respectable game….

When you continue, it becomes viewed as talking smack...

Sorry if you feel that way because I did not mean it as smack talk. But hey move things around to bury things you don't agree with as you seem fit. Oh and there is a USF is a dirty program thread on the board now too, we better move that soon..

We have earned our respect. UCF is the new kids on the block and needs to do something to earn respect. USC was your chance and you couldn't get it done. Don't blame us.

We finished. We took your advice. You happy now?
