Quote:Stop with the UCF did something questionable stuff nonsense. It is untrue and a distraction from the question of fan culture.
Setting everything aside and without snark.
USF fans have to put up with UCF fans claiming we blocked their entry into the Big East. There is no proof. At all. Just the word of a disgraced espn reporter who has an ax to grind.
On the opposite end, when USF fans mention your dirty past, we’re told it isn’t true.
1. Your school was placed in NCAA probation for cheating.
2. While on probation, you got caught again. In total, 7 years of probation.
3. Your BBall coach got a three year “show cause” for cheating.
4. Your AD was fired for actively participating in it.
5. Your school misappropriated over $120 million in funds, in order to expand to become the largest university, instead of using the funds for what the state allocated.
There’s more. A lot more I could go into but I am honestly not trying to start a fight.
I am simply pointing out that USF fans CONSTANTLY have to deal with a lie and your fans are rabid about pushing it. When we point out things, like I did above, which are public record, and factually accurate and absolutely proveable by an easy internet search, we’re told it’s lies.
It’s not. I can go get all the Orlando sentinel links to everything I said. There were full investigations. I can post their results which 100% prove everything I said.
Not a single person can actually provide any proof about our “blocking ucf”. There’s one report from Brett McMurphy. A fired and disgraced reporter.
Can ya see how absolutely frustrating this is?
As far as culture, I get where you’re going and the answer is yes. We needed a kick in the ass and we got it, but many will need to watch what they wished for. Just as UCF was a beast waiting for their time, USF has all the same advantages, and now we’re moving in the right direction. Maybe one day our schools paths will cross again.
