Hell of a win.
AAC champs, well done. us tigers got a little piece of it too. lets see if the bearcats can get some.
ECU, fine football team tough way to end it.
Any tiger fans acting like morons, respect the system. it is what it is. there is enough pie for all of us.
Congrats UCF

Thank you! I only wish more fans could have as much class as you. Congratulations to the University of Memphis as well, you earned your right to be called conference champions. Now let's both get out there and win our respective bowl games and make the AAC proud.

RE: Congrats UCF
Congrats UCF! Of course I was cheering for ECU to win (nothing personal, for purely selfish reasons). But as I watched the finish of that game, I was smiling because I knew that I had just witnessed something amazing. A Hail Mary for a conference title? Truly amazing!
Congrats Knights? Now lets all go kick butt in our bowl games.

RE: Congrats UCF
Thank you and congratulations to Memphis as well! We saw hints of potential last year and before the season I said Memphis or Temple would probably rise up and compete for a conference title. Between the Tigers, Cougars, and Midshipmen the AAC-West is looking pretty competitive right now.

I've come to respect Memphis, partly because a buddy of mine is a Tiger fan, and partly because I respect how Fuente has turned around the program. But trust me, I was actually hoping for a Memphis loss to USF a couple weeks ago. There's nothing wrong about hoping for the best outcome for your team. But, since we won't have to be concerned about "co-champions" after this year, I don't mind sharing the title with Memphis. I was happy for my Tiger buddy after all the years of anguish lately.
In my 27 years of following UCF football, that is the first time a Hail Mary has won a game for us. I've seen some crazy endings over the years, but never a successful Hail Mary. I'm still in shock, really.

RE: Congrats UCF
I think what happened last night was probably the best thing for the conference. A great game that is playing in the rotation on television recaps. Sure, I would like for Memphis to be the sole champion but UCF and Cincy have a higher profile with recent success than Memphis. I don't think Memphis loses any national cache sharing a title with two teams with recent national success as opposed to being announced as the sole conference champ and then everyone will quit talking about it. We will have three bowl games where all three teams names will be mentioned as Co-Champs (if Cincinnatti wins) several times during the games. They mentioned Memphis several times last night during the UCF-ECU game. We could be there in a year or two, but we have accomplished a lot and all Memphis fans are estatic. I am not sure that Cincy and UCF losing the last game and leaving Memphis alone would be the best for national perception of the AAC. Although, when that pass was caught, I did yell NO!!

Never, ever, put your hopes on USF ;-)

Congrats Memphis as well. I'm proud to be in a conference with you guys and happy you were able to turn it around so quickly. So how will you display it? Stadium wrap or banner/flag?
