Hey NC State folks. Sorry for the other UCF fan's comments. Attended a Champs Sport Bowl several years ago, against WVU. Wolfpack fans were great. Tailgated with a few of them and interacted during the game. Looking forward to a similar experience in St. Pete. Take care.

I have a feeling you're as disappointed as we are.

We know your thoughts on the game from your quotes on the AAC board.

hot garbage bowl

I don't want to drive 10 hours to watch them beat up on that trash team.

I love you feigned feelings. What type of bowl do you think UCF deserves? Unranked from a weakened AAC & you didn't even play the two co-champs in your league. Out of league you lost to a weak PSU, crushed by Mizzou and barely beat a neutered BYU after their QB went down.

NC State has plenty of weaknesses this year but an above .500 P5 is a fair opponent for UCF this year, even if the matchup doesn't have sizzle.

I don't hide the fact that I think this match up is HOT GARBAGE! The trop SUCKS and NC State is a mediocre team this year that beat two FCS teams to become bowl eligible.

Knightsweat, I don't need you to apologize for me. I didn't say anything that wasn't true, tell me you wanted to or expected to play NC State and I will call you a liar.

Good luck against NC State and congrats on your season.

Fixed, I am on my phone all the time and don't notice my signature.

Nice stats for our losses, we almost beat PU by spotting them 2.5 quarters. It wasn't until half way into the third that we changed QBs and it came down to a last second drive for them to win.

I will give Mizzu their props. BYU, its not even worth the discussion.

I wanted a different bowl that UCF hasn't played 3 times at in the past 5 years. I wanted the opponent that was projected, Miami. I didn't expect some spectacular bowl, to me, if your not in one of the top bowls all other bowls are the same. One venue might be better than the other but a bowl is a bowl.

Why am I upset and call this hot garbage, it's because we at UCF think Miami is scared to play us, worried that we will take them down this year.

UF and FSU refuse to play us, Miami has given us the shot a couple times, last time was only a win by 3 points. We are a better team now and want to have the chance to play one of the instate teams and beat them. To show the other schools that UCF is not a mid major.

Yes we are disappointed, but it's our own fault. Win an extra game and we avoid the Citrus Bowl shuffle. The location is good, but the date is not ideal. UCF is a tough opponent and flies under the radar in the AAC. Personally I would like to have played Penn State in the Pinstripe, but a lot of NC State fans don't like NYC in the winter, and to be honest Annapolis is a logistical hell accommodation wise and can be cold. Even Charlotte can be like an old Peach Bowl weather wise.

I missed beating the WVa in Orlando in 2010 - was paying through the ass to watch it on board a European Cruise ship. That was our last good showing in bowl.

Well, good luck to the UCF folks.

That said, please keep this thread focused on the bowls in general and not a dissertation as to why UF and FSU may or may not be ducking the Knights.

That, or I hope posts start magically appearing in the smack forum.

Well we get the kid sister of the Citrus Bowl instead of the real deal. Dec 29th sucks. At least we are playing Oklahoma instead of some worthless midmajor scrub like Central Florida.

HAHAHAHA, Mid Major scrub....that's pretty much what Baylor said and look how that worked out for them.

The Belk Bowl blows...
We traded a bowl 2 1/2 hours from Louisville for a 7 hour drive to Charlotte. Charlotte .... Who goes to Charlotte in December? Talk about getting shafted. Welcome to The ACC Louisville fans.

As for the opponent, another over rated SEC team. Last time we faced a SEC team in a bowl, the pinheads on ESPN said we didn't have chance. When we owned our SEC foe, the excuse was the SEC was disinterested in playing us.

Now I know exactly what they meant.

Enjoy your third appearance in a day after Christmas bowl in a crappy baseball stadium.

You can thank ND for the shaft. But you won't get much sympathy from GT fans, and you'll like swipe the Music City over GT more years than not.

Also, Charlotte is underrated. It is not nearly as good in the dead of winter as it is in summer, but still not bad.

I'm reading two general themes here.

1) You're upset because some interns at Yahoo and Bleacher Report thought UCF *might* get to play Miami

2) You've got an excuse for nearly every loss

The biggest fluke of UCF's season was this past Thursday night, a win that should have been a loss if not for ECU's coaches displaying the worst clock management in college football history. As for PSU, plenty of teams have to start a new QB in Sept. It's on your coaches if they picked the wrong starter in pre-season camp. Out of league you lost to the P5's and got lucky that BYU's one man team was without their star when you barely beat them in OT.

No one here will claim NC State is a world beater but considering the Massey composite computer rankings have UCF 49th while the Wolfpack is 52nd, the whole "NC State is beneath us" act is quite humorous.

Personally, I'd much prefer ND to be playing Georgia in the Belk than LSU in the Music City Bowl.

How much money are we going to bring in this year?

You're crazy. You didn't get shafted. I'm pretty sure the North Carolina and Virginia teams would love to play in that bowl. Especially now that it has an SEC tie in.

I'm pretty excited about our G5 matchup in the military bowl. We have some history with Cincy dating back to the 1947 Sun Bowl. We beat them in the Jan. 2009 Orange bowl and they beat us in a neutral site matchup in 2012.

A 9-3 team is a pretty good draw for a 6-6 team. We have the opportunity to avenge our 2012 loss and keep them from getting 10 wins.

The biggest attraction though is playing in Annapolis, MD. I expect the bowl to sell out from Hokie support even though it's a minor bowl based on how close it is to our fan base. Assuming tickets aren't $120 for trash seats like the 2012 neutral site game.

We've got a little ohio state/cincy/VT/ECU circle of parity thing going regardless of the outcome. Interesting match up.

Yeah, other than proximity to Louisville I don't really see the difference. Georgia is arguably slightly better than LSU and Charlotte and Nashville are comparable cities in my mind.

The all-time series between Tech and Cincinnati is deadlocked at 5-5. This is the one to break the tie. Looking forward to another great game between the two schools.

1. I'm pretty sure Syracuse is bringing in $0.

2. By my calculations, the bowl teams are bringing in $46,237,500, or about $3M per team (before expenses are paid to the participants). However, $27,500,000 is for the Orange bowl. If you factor that out, it's still $18,737,500.

(once I calculate all payouts for all P5s I plan to post it on my blog - later today)

matchups with Congrove power rankings: UCF (25) vs NC State (62)

Do not put words in my mouth, I never said that NC State was beneath us, those are your words not mine remember that. But when a team gets bowl eligible playing FCS teams (GA Southern, OD, Presbyterian) its no different than Marshall who played several FCS teams to get to their record , who gives them the respect they deserve? I will sit here and wait until you come up with an answer that is outside of their fan base. Yes UCF played 1 FCS team but our in conference record speaks for itself, NC State is 3-5 in conference.

You want to know why I am upset, we had the opportunity to play either Miami or UF and neither happened. Getting the to play in state teams and see who is better on the field is a relished opportunity. When it appears that schools are ducking and dodging to keep from playing UCF it upsets our fan base. Especially when they (UF, UM, FSU) say that were a "mid major" program as that Clemson fan put it. Let's see who is mid major on the field, just because a school is new doesn't mean they can't take it to you.

And to follow up your comment; A W is a W is a W period! Your right, I don't need to make excuses for our losses. Like you said so eloquently, the coaches screwed that one up for ECU I agree, fluke, no, it was a practiced play and it was executed as practiced. Did we get lucky that their defenders failed to do their job, yes but it wasn't like it was a broken play that just happened into a TD. Our coach are a direct result to the loss of Penn St. however, its moot point, we are still CoChamps now that the season is over.



IMO why they wont schedule us, I believe they are concerned that UCF could possibly beat them and that would hurt future recruiting. Is that a valid enough reason, to me no, UCF isn't on the same playing field being in the G5 vs the P5. That one letter makes a world of difference when it comes to recruiting.
