UCF fans, how would you feel about potentially playing Nebraska if they were to play a close game or lose at home to Troy this weekend? Asking for a friend. Thanks.

Wouldnt effect how I feel about the game at all. I want UCF to play nebraska. UCF wpuld be favored to win either way. The biggest problem is we play Temple shortly after. If we could push temple to friday or saturday then lets do it.

Nevraska will never agree to play UcF until frost gets things turned around. Playing UCF this year is a lose lose situation.

As a UCF fan, i'd be very happy with playing marshall. I wish we played yall yearly as an OOC game. My #1preference this year would be to play Nebraska as the makeup game though due to the Scott Frost dynamic.

I think that matchup would bring amazing PR to UCF and the AAC as well as probably drawing some serious big time ratings to use in our contract negotiations. It seems like if it's doable and UCF can win it, it'll kinda take that "Scott Frost made UCF "monkey of of their backs and allow both programs to move forward. 04-cheers

I only would do Nebraska as a 2 for 1 in our favor.

ecu and ucf both play weak earlier...

thats vtechs bye week, ecu and vtech now make up their game....

top 15 wvu is available for ucf to play that week

Or VT plays WVU since it’s you know a rivalry game and doesn’t require moving around.

We are not moving up our home game against UCF. It’s a home game that is schedule and fans have already booked hotel rooms and is our home coming week. It is much easier to schedule a game on the bye week then try to move games around.

Nebraska vs UCF makes too much sense. No need to make it complicated, just do it.

I’m hopeful Marshall and ECU can work something out. If ECU we’re willing to come to Huntington this time, we could even extend our series with a another return game at ECU in 2022. Would make it essentially a six game series!

RE: Possible match ups for ECU, UCF........
So I just checked. Looks like if an ECU game we’re to happen it would have to be a one off.

There’s really not another return opening for ECU that would make sense for them.

I’m cool with that. I have no problem going to ECU for this one. We would just need to make the financials reasonable.

I was supposed to travel up to the UNC game this weekend, but I was able to rebook my Spirit flight for the ECU game. Looking forward to going to my 3rd game in Greenville. I'm 0-2 on my two trips there (2009, 2011) so I need a win this time. 03-wink

RE: Possible match ups for ECU, UCF........
I wouldn't be opposed to UCF making up a game on Oct. 27, but it would have to be something that we absolutely couldn't say no to. However, I'm not wild about the thought of playing 10 straight weeks, especially with our toughest AAC games coming during the last month. When we played 11 straight weeks last year after scheduling Austin Peay during our bye week, it was clear our team....particularly the defense.....was worn down to the nub at the end of the season. Our AD has already said that he's ok with sticking with 11 games and keeping the bye week, but he's not 100% ruling anything out, either.

I can guarantee you that Nebraska isn't happening. Fans aside, neither side wants any part of that.

Playing WV would really be a catch if a home game at UCF would be a part of the agreement. Even if WV bought the game out, it would be advantageous to play a team that seems to be relevant in the Big12-2 than a UN team that won't mean a thing.

UCF vs Nebraska and ECU v Marshal makes to much sense so it won't happen.

We will hear that regardless. If we had to play there, and it was a 1 n done, which I would not do personally. I would make them pay 3 mil to host us.

Some scuttlebutt about ECU and NC State playing in December as a benefit for those impacted by Hurricane Florence

That would be amazing and a great thing for the state as a whole and great PR all around, but color me stunned if State would actually agree to that.

NC State thinks they have a chance at winning their division, so they can't really agree to a game that week right now.

Lol, did I miss them moving to the Coastal? NCSU isn't going to win a thing.

I've been hearing about NCSU is going to turn the corner for 3 years now, them and UNC will always be the same middling ACC teams they've always been.

Any news on this front? I heard Nebraska is likely going with Bethune-Cookman.

Sure they can theoretically win their division, same as ECU, but they won’t. I don’t think we could really publicly agree to that either as we’d be basically telling our players you have no hope of winning the division.
