I thought beating Va Tech after they beat Ohio State, and beating a ranked UNC squad were pretty big wins. Granted, their seasons didn't pan out but ECU had a lot to do with that. Some teams get better throughout the year and some get worse. Performance fluctuates for a myriad of reasons. ECU caught them both when they were up.

I think he meant as i this year since we have two others and now UC joining the club. I could be wrong.

Yeah, it could be that. I took it as a jab at that one Memphis fan who was telling UCF fans 'Welcome to the club' despite UCF having won championships in 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2014 and this being Memphis's first championship since 1971.

Cincy won titles in 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, and 2014.

Congratulations on a fine season.

But ECU wasn't a co-champion (actually tri-champion) this year. He was talking about the conference champions, not the league as a whole.

So are ECU and Houston tied for second or are they tied for fourth? They didn't play each other so is their a tie=breaker?

Have the divisions been established for next year?

That's honest to God the reaction most UC students have when they see him in public. I sh*t you not

I really like the guy. I'm in my fifties and have that reaction.

So UConn actually lost to SMU? Wow. Bad year for that team. Good for UCF on the luckiest shared title of all time. Only conference team to lose to UConn, biggest fluke finish I have ever seen against ECU and managed to avoid playing Memphis/UC.

For all of those full of themselves UCF fans, only the ones that are full of themselves; I endorse this message.

You know, all of us fans were polled preseason on which two schools we would like to avoid so as to guarantee us a championship. Or maybe you're just trying to church up the beating Memphis gave you. What would've been your response if we hadn't blown a third quarter lead and just won outright? Most of your fans are awesome you must be one of the arrogant ones.

Arrogance or not, there are some good points here. Ultimately it doesn't matter, you are where you finish but to not say that hail Mary wasn't lucky or equating a loss to co-champ Memphis to lowly Uconn just doesn't wash.

Explain to me why UC is so much better than UCF that we should be so lucky as to share the title with them.
