Actually a pretty darn good article and pretty interesting read...(somewhat interesting that a Tampa Times writer went to a UCF Game when recently, they didn't even send a reporter to cover usf road game).

UCF: The underdog that everyone loves to hate
https://www.tampabay.com/sports/2018/11/...s-to-hate/

That article is pretty harsh on usf.

I cant take USF football seriously as long as they play in a rented nfl stadium with pirate ship in it.

At least Temple is TRYING to get their own stadium.

Why do you hate pirate ships?

I was going to write something snarky about USF, but I decided not to. #becomingmoremature #impossibleformaturitytogetworse

7 years of BCS money pissed away....

I watched it last night. UCF is very good, with the exception of their secondary. A good P5 team would shred it.

Like say a A5 divisional leader?

Or just any A5 team in general?

Have you ever seen FBS games live or you just going off Iona State's Division II games for reference?

Dear Tom Bowen and President Rudd @ University of Memphis...

Quote:I stopped by a bookstore on the UCF campus Thursday afternoon, where sleeveless T-shirts hailing UCF as co-national champions still sell for $34.98. I don't buy UCF as a playoff team, but I was tempted to buy the T-shirt.

Yes, I have, it appears the only games you see are AAC. I believe I said a good P5 team. Also, whatever school I attended or did not attend is totally irrelevant to this conversation, you are using an ad hominem argument.

So would a divisional leader in the A5 count as a good team?



Also since your argument is based on your opinion all attacks on your argument are by default ad hominem.

Do they teach logic where you went to school?

The ability of an individual to accurately judge teams is usually directly correlated to their experience and understanding of the game the teams are playing. As well as the relative strength of those teams in comparision to other teams who may or may not have played each other.

I will ask again; what sort of weight should I put on your appeal to authority argument and hasty generalization?

Great point!

When your ON-CAMPUS STADIUM is located just a few hundred yards away from the Barnes & Noble Book Store (mostly merchandise location), I'm sure going to a game ON-CAMPUS was enticing to this Tampa Columnist since he can't get that same atmopshere at his local college team's games that like Memphis, plays off-campus.

I've never had any issues finding Memphis merchandise to buy at the Liberty Bowl...Tiger Lane provides a fantastic pregame atmosphere

2.2 miles, or a 6 min drive down Central Ave.

Some of this board's members anytime a chance comes up to discuss the fact that USF doesn't have an on campus stadium...

I know enough and can see enough that UCF should not make CFP.
