Pretty feisty for a fan of a team that almost had its entire best season ever ruined by the hapless Tigers. You got lucky in the last two minutes. Twice. Try to be a little more humble. It doesn't hurt.

I watched that game. UCF didn't get lucky. Good teams don't always find a way to win, but bad teams almost always find a way to lose. I know that to be the case, because I have watched enough ECU basketball games and Chicago Cubs baseball games to see a tide turning.

I am PirateMarv derp derp

Memphis record over the last 3 years:

2-10 (1-7)
4-8 (4-4)
3-9 (1-7)

Those look like bad teams to me. And if kids had been on those teams during that 3 year stretch, then they are use to losing which is a very hard culture to change for a coach.

as there were less than 60 scholorship players when fuente arrived, after attrition, graduation and culling, i bet there arent 10 people left on the roster who played under porter.

you might just be fixing to get a little suprise.

Ask some UCF fans if they got lucky, fool. And 9 times out of 10, that helmet to helmet fumble would have been called the other way. That is luck that it was not.

Don't get me wrong. UCF won the game. They are a much better team than Memphis. But to say there was no luck involved in the last 2 minutes, that it was all skill, and finding a way to win, well, that's just ignorant.

A little luck is required to win any game. But UCF found a way to win. That is what defined UCF last year.

That's fine. I have no issue with it. But to say there was no luck involved in that particular game is ridiculous.

And there are plenty of blowout games that require no luck at all to win.

No I won't. I watched Memphis several times last year and I know that they are a little better, but changing a losing culture will take Fuentes a little more time.

Well at least when we win and get to a post season then we will have earned it and not pay our way like ECU does in basketball. Truely pathetic

Gaining a post season birth in any sport requires a winning record.

You bought your way into a tournament. How thirsty can ECU get?

No, not the point. Of course UCF is dominant in the series. No argument. I'm simply saying that I doubt you would be bragging so much if we had managed somehow to pull out that game in our most recent meeting. It would have wrecked your season and eliminated your chance at the BCS Bowl.

Just close enough that one would think a slight bit of humility might be in order. :)

I don't think MOV matters much in these situations. Football games are really binary win/lose events. You win, you get all the spoils of victory, including full bragging rights.

Heck, we had UCF on the ropes, ahead 20-16 with 7 minutes left and we picked off Bortles to give ourselves the ball in UCF territory. But we couldn't convert a 3rd and short from around their 32, missed the long FG, and they scored to win it. We coulda shoulda woulda won the game, but didn't, so all the laurels go to UCF.

We all know Memphis dominated that game statistically and blew it with turnovers and penalties. But that's only like the 1000th time that's happened in football history, it's really a common scenario, so no use trying to deny the legitimacy of the UCF win.

Definitely fishing for a moral victory. You guys lost, just man up. Our humility or lack thereof has nothing to do Memphis, or your "near win".

Good luck with football this year. I personally hope to see Memphis take the west division within a couple of seasons.

Past is the past, but the giant is waking up and has full support behind it. I prefer the East, but the West makes more sense especially under Fuente. This is the first year that Fuente has all scholarships filled and we will be nasty on defense. I'm very excited about our future.

Memphis football is about to take its fair share of the rope pulling the AAC up to where we all want it to be.

You are completely missing the point. I'm not fishing for a damn thing. I didn't start this silly crap. Your buddy simply took another gratuitous shot at Memphis, for no reason. He's so obsessed, he even comes to our board and does the same thing.

You really want to defend that?

There are a fair number of us that have personally witnessed 1 win seasons and undefeated season and have as objective of a view of Memphis football as any loyal fan can and I honestly believe that the above is a true statement. The boat turns slowly when the momentum is so one-sided; but it's turning.

Most UCF fans would consider being called his "buddy" an insult. I also expect to see Memphis win the west very soon.

Memphis is one of those schools with a lot of potential, and some history. They could be just like Cincy or even the villainous 'Ville, specially with Texas recruiting. Could even see them become as good as Tennessee or better. I'd like Memphis if it wasnt for their fans

It was hard for me to tell exactly who was being referred to in this string until I looked to see who had posted on the Memphis board recently. It all made sense then.
