I mean, I can see it. But I still think this is a five-way race; ECU, UCF, Houston, Cincy, and Memphis are all in it. Knights have an easy schedule heading into ECU week. Would mean back-to-back titles and a 16-0 conference record since joining.

I think it's apparent this guy knows his football.

Trying to drive up traffic to his failing website.

Put fan blogs in the same pile as bleacher report articles.

This coming from a sports writer in Tampa...

This guy or you must have never been to an ecu home game. The noise and crowd will be unbelievable. Coach at usm said his team played @ ala. week before @ ecu game and noise not even close to what it was like playing at ecu. For the record usc and cinn neither one has done very well at ecu. Regardless, one lost or not I believe ecu/ucf game will be for aac title.

For a Thursday night? During winter break?

I didn't click the article, but I assume you're talking about the UCF/ECU game. The last day of class is 12/9. So it isn't winter break yet.

Need to get past UConn first. They gave ECU all they could handle in Greenville. Also, the forecast in Storrs this Saturday is a high of 44 degrees. The last time UCF played in cold weather we struggled to beat SMU by 4 points with our best team ever.

If this is for the AAC Title, on National TV AND who gets the access bowl slot? Thursday night or not, the joint will be rockin! Who knows, we may set a new attendance record.

I think you're downplaying the weather at the SMU game. It was 20 degrees and snowed so hard that the roads were shut down.

There's a big difference between playing in 20 degree weather and playing in the mid 40s. I don't expect it to affect UCF that much.

To be fair, Alabama fans aren't going to get up for USM the ECU fans would. It will be a tough game for both but the steeper hill to climb is UCF's. If this game were in Orlando I might say it was the other way around.

There's a MUCH bigger difference between 70/80 degree temps versus 40 than there is between 40 and 20. Not just in actual numbers. Don't know what time your game is but playing in the 30s doesn't feel much different than the 20s, especially when you are constantly moving.

Do we have to have this pissing match now?

#1 Yes, ECU will pack the house on a Thursday night. Lot on the line, AAC title, Access Bowl, and ESPN coverage.

#2 I'm trying to go to the game but Thursday is pretty hard to do. I am sure many UCF fans are struggling to make arrangements to visit during the weekday.

#3 UCF and ECU are both quality teams with a couple conference games to go. Can't crown champions half way through conference play.

Nothing else to do in Greenville.

I believe that we will win.

Yes.

ECU needs to just worry about Temple and UCF needs to worry about UConn.

Things could be very interesting December 4th, but there are a lot of games to be played before then.

No we absolutely don't, because this fine blogger settled it. UCF wins! Schedule the ticker tape parade.

I doubt the players are on here discussing UCF/ECU.
