I will back up the UCF fans here when I say for quite some time I watched USF fans talk down to UCF fans because one was in the BE and the other CUSA. Same as when a ULala fan or someone else of that nature jumps on our board bragging about an accomplishment, they are quickly harassed about their team, program and conference.

There are definitely some quality Bull posters, but I do remember a lot of hate being spewed (both ways admittedly, but it always looks bad on the school in a better conference), reminding me of us and NC State.

That said, I don't see any of them around here anymore and y'all are a pleasure to post with. I like hearing about WT bringing in good classes for y'all. That's awesome.

There hasn't been as much noise lately, but for years I remember hearing all about how bulls fans believed they deserved a rivalry with Miami and how they were above playing UCF.

In their eyes, USF was so far above UCF that there would never be a rivalry between us.

It's truly hilarious. All we've heard since USF joined the Big East was how big time they were and how UCF would never "catch up" to them. Yet here we are today in 2013 and in just one season in an AQ conference, UCF did more than USF ever did in 8 years.

Which is why it was ironic gold when we read that USF was throwing a victory rally to celebrate their mascot win on the same day that UCF won the Fiesta Bowl.

Things change and five years ago USF was a school on the rise and doing things in less than 10 years of football that some schools had not done in over 100. Then the 'Choke & Slap' happened and we hired Lou's son bringing the program to depths unseen.

However, CWT is turning it around. Too much talent in Florida to only win 5 games in two years. The last two recruiting classes are just the beginning.

btw...can we get back to the original post and discussing USF's recruiting success?

I just self-deleted one of my own posts that would have likely caused some 'agnst' among our fine 'friends' from Oviedo.

If UCF fans don't want to congratulate USF and recognize the amazing recruiting class we have assembled after a piss poor season then feel free to skip participating in this thread. We don't need the snide remarks or backhanded compliments.

This is great coming from you, a guy who spent the entirety of 2003-2010 on the UCF Rivals boards, telling everyone how bad UCF sucks and will always suck.

Karma.

I'm sure there were such Bulls fans. I can tell you that I was never one of those you will not find any posts from myself on any UCF board on any of those years.
Every school has their up and down years I'm old enough to know that if you act like an ass when you are at the top then be ready to have same way when you are down.

I'm very happy with WT and this recruiting class and can see how he is changing the football future at USF. Looking forward to 2014 and beyond.

Go Bulls

The ever expanding population of Florida as well and the expansion of our two media markets make us prime targets for the next round of expansion.

Our close proximity, Large Enrolments and growing Alumni bases local to the schools can only help as well.

Combined we're the 4th largest media market and growing. Many will argue FSU this, and UF that but, the numbers are just too big not to take a chance on.

Add the fact that USF got a top 40 signing class after the worst year in the history of the program and UCF is coming off of a BSC Bowl win with a Great class as well despite it's small size and you can see the potential developing.

Most ucf fans over the years have advocated us being in the same conference. It's been mostly usf fans who say there is no rivalry and were disgusted to be in the same conference.

I would disagree with this. I don't know who you are referring to... drunk kids at a football game, internet message boards, or USF fans you know personally... but most Bulls I know think we're a good rivalry, and it's good for the American to have both schools in Florida. I'd list out the strengths of the pairing, but I'm sure you already know. To be fair, I think fans on either side would obvioulsy endorse a split up to take a P5 invite... we all get that. But as a solid pairing anchoring Florida for the American, that's definitely a positive.

I don't really see it as a rivalry. UCF needs to focus on developing their rivalries with South Carolina & Penn State.

I hate to break it to you but I have hardly posted on the UCF Rivals board since we joined the BigEast. You must have me confused with the another person. Sorry, I've moved on....

Now did I enjoy posting 62-12, 4-0 and gotBCS on this board and the old bullspen? Sure....but only in response to UCF fans who have seemingly made it a lifestyle choice to bash USF 24/7. I don't expect USF/UCF fans to hold hands and feed each other chocolates....but it annoying that some UCF fans can't seemingly post without bashing USF.

SF...is your class going to stay small? or are they going to look for a few JUCOs or "Diamonds in the Rough"?

One of Syracuse's best recruit in Marrone's tenure might be Jason Bromley discovered during a NY all star game in June. He started the following September despite being a 1 star, He projects to get drafted in April. I know Edsall had stories like that too (getting 1 and 2 star nobodies) of guys who made the NFL.

It is a very small class. As you can imagine, with coaching change in middle of the season and Diaco coming in late, it was not easy. Diaco got bunch of kids to commit late and he really focused on academics and OL.

Recruiting rankings mean nothing to UCONN. UCONN finished last place in the old BE regularly. As of today, UCONN has more guys playing in the NFL than all those teams:

UCONN - 21

CUSE - 13
Pitt - 16 (won multiple old BE recruiting ranking trophies. Never won squat on the field though)
USF - 15
UL - 15
Cincy - 19
UCF - 16
Houston - 13
Temple - 12
WVU - 16
SMU - 16
ECU - 12
Memphis - 8


Either those rankings are full of s**t, or UCONN coaches got some magic pills that turned multiple 2 star UCONN players into NFL ones.

Once again another USF thread gets derailed into another USF vs UCF spitting war
Back to the original message
USF had an outstanding recruiting class coming off our worst season ever. WT has recruited talent on both sides of the ball and our fan base is excited about football once again. It will take time I think 2015 will be the year USF will really contend for the title but a bowl bid next year should be the goal 6 or 7 wins is the best most are expecting anything more would be very surprising

I said before when You hired WT from WKU He will be a great get. Last season just made USF all the more Hungry for Winning. Good Job Recruiting.

There's no question WT can recruit, he's been very good at that. I think the big question is can he develop? I'm curious to see how usf parlays these classes into success. Personally, I believe that usf has some serious need of campus beautification and facility upgrades. That's not a slam, I think if they did more it would make usf more of a force.

Well we shall see. But you look at what he did at WKU and led them to successful seasons after they were awful. He also took unknown RBs and turned them into top rushers in NFL and I think he will do just fine. He is recruiting higher rated athletes than he had at WKU

I think he will do well in the conference.

What do you believe needs to be this year's record for him not to be on the fans and media hot seat? 6-6 or better?

When was the last time you were on our campus? Our facilities are second to none in the AAC and our campus beautification is not an issue. I have been to many campuses around the nation and the current USF campus compares fine with most of them
