This is ridiculous. UCF hasn't done a thing to even earn a sideways glance from our AD. No one is "scared" to play the Golden Showers, the very idea is laughable. That's not how college football works.

If UCF wants to play with the big boys, they have to... well, play with the big boys. They're not going to get there by squeaking out wins against Temple and Memphis.

You want to know why you commuter-school losers are left out of the CFP? 104th-ranked strength of schedule and ZERO wins against ranked opponents.

Central Fl schedule begins and ends with their bowl game, LSU. They ended up ranked 54 SOS but haven't played a game yet as far as I could see.

Silly claims by UCF AD:

"We are a Top 10 Program."

No, you are currently a media-moron over-rated top 10 team, not a Top 10 program.

And BTW, there is no Power 6 Conference either, (fake news).
You're among the Patsy 6 Conferences, not the Power 5.

Personally, I wouldn't even offer them a 2 for 1 like UF's AD did.
They can come to SWAMP without a return game, or they can continue to play their patsy schedules.

Nope. ECU came close two times but denied. Once was against an interim coach, the other was when Treon Harris was co-starter. We stomped Cincinnati to end their magical season. You would have to go way back to the late 80's when Memphis pulled a miracle in the Swamp but we returned the favor next season.

After that I can't even remember. Maybe Houston in 79. Probably Tulane when they were an SEC team like decades ago.

1979 -- 0-10-1 UF 10 - 14 @ Houston 11-1
It took their best team vs our worst team in an away game, for them to get a 4 Pt win.

Tulane left the SEC after the 1965 season.
A 7-4 UF beat them 51 - 13 that season.

Your coach sounds like a complete bonehead talking about UCF. Leave AD stuff to your AD but don't act like your all that great you lost to Kentucky at home. UCF doesn't need UF they called you out on dodging them in the Peach bowl (which they did). I agree with DW he is one of the best AD's in the nation.

You're an idiot. No one "dodged" anyone in the bowl selection process. Stricklin wasn't even in the room when that decision was made. As for Kentucky, they surprised a lot of folks this year and were actually pretty good, I think they finished 9-3. Don't know how on earth they lost to Tennessee though. This year's Kentucky team would beat this year's UCF team nine times out of ten and anyone who watched them play would agree.

LOL the big boys ya ok. Last I looked they are ranked ahead of you. But keep holding on to the past. Why can't you guys just say "ya would be a great game for the state and for the programs"? You have to act high and mighty like you guys have done something wonderful in the past few years. The big boys lol wow.

Our coach and AD have both said it would be a good matchup and even offered to play them. UCF rejected it because they think they'll get more mileage out of playing the victim rather than actually scheduling tough teams. And yeah, Florida is one of the "big boys." Last I checked, UF finished the regular season ranked in the top 10 - a return to form after years of incompetent coaching. But I wasn't just referring to Florida. UCF should be playing teams that are ranked, year-in and year-out if they want to make an argument that they should be included in the playoff.

It's a lot easier to go undefeated when your opponents aren't very good . UCF's AD should be trying to remedy that any way he can instead of trying to dictate terms to other schools.

Besides, UCF chickened out last time we actually had a game scheduled with them. We pushed your stool in so hard in 2006 that you all actually paid us $100,000 to avoid the same thing happening in 2007. So don't talk to me about cowardice.

You know how FSU got on top in the late 80s and early 90s? They were an independent, but they didn't shy away from scheduling the country's toughest teams (and beating them, most of the time). The system isn't "rigged," it's just that UCF wants to portray itself as the victim without actually proving that it belongs in the conversation.

In conclusion, all you UCF "fans" can go fück yourselves with your mom's used dildo (pictured below):

You guys play home and homes with Marshall?

Those that have no history always want those with some to forget theirs. Your program is closer to Marshall than we are to UCF. Our last national title was a decade ago, more recent than Notre Dame or Oklahoma.

Maybe your conference will give them an invite soon. They aren't worthy of a home and home with Florida. A 2 for 1 is great for the state, too bad they declined it.

Like we’ve been saying. The blueprint to build your brand is out there and as recently as Boise. Go play and beat teams, prove your worth, and you’ll get the underdog sympathy and praise across the country. Or act like a spoiled brat and folks will turn on you. They chose the latter. Now good luck getting anyone to schedule you at all.

I don't know what is more comical. Danny White or a West Virginia fan talking smack on history, tradition, and big boy football.

The really sad thing is going to watch them lose to LSU but still proclaim themselves the NC. If they want respect they will have to earn it the same way FSU and every other smaller/unknown school did back in the 70's and 80's, play anybody anywhere. hell if I remember correctly we even had a 5-1 deal with LSU and they want to pout about a 2-1 with UF? talk about staring a gift horse in the mouth. Obviously they prefer to play the woe-is-me game. I guess they feel pouting will get them where they want to be faster than playing the game like everybody else had to do.

The only one at U.C.F. I feel sorry for is McKenzie Milton as the kid has heart and skill. A good example of what he’s done for The Knights is Quinton Flowers snd South Florida. He took U.S.F. to places unseen before for BOTH Willie “losing record” Taggart and Charley Strong but, he’s gone and U.S.F. Is 7-5 with 5 losses in a row. Milton won’t be coming back next year for sure.

Zero would schedule UCF.

The pre-season poll vs. the final was quite the laugh. To your credit, it's not how you start, it's how you finish. UF was rated well in both versions IIRC.

LSU is the one I want, and I went to my first LSU game in 1961, so I have a little LSU history. Born in BR, family had season tics for two decades, still have a bro there who along with his wife and child, are alums.

Even if he's able to play again, I'd be shocked if he's ever the same player.

You don't have an injury like that (the kind that makes you wonder if the doctors can save your leg) and go back on the field with the same moxy.

I flipped a car once several year ago on Christmas Eve Because I looked down to see who texted me and the next thing I knew I had missed the turn, the embankment was steep, and I couldn't correct it.

Slow motion not wearing a seatbelt remember getting tossed around and the next thing I know I'm standing on my driver side window. Bizarrely unharmed (though I realized a day later that the crack in the windshield was from my left elbow).

Every time I drive past that turn, 5 years later, I still think about it.

Mentally that's going to be very difficult to come back from.

Star ratings aren't everything and you can't predict who's going to underachieve and who's going to overachieve. But overall, a team that consistently attracts 4- and 5-star players is going to be much better than a team made up of 3-stars and below. There's a reason that Bama is on top year after year.

It is also an indication of the state of the program. How many blue chips did UCF sign yesterday?

 

[instaGATOR]

Zero would schedule UCF.

Correction --- ZERO 1'st tier teams would bow down to a 2nd tier teams demands for a home & home. USF for example, readily accepted a 2 for 1 with UF, which is what was also offered to UCF.

The conversation is all but dead between both universities, UCF AD White says.

“We’re willing to play a home-and-home, but we understand their position (2 for 1) on that and I get it,” White said. “If I was in Scott’s situation, I would have the same opinion.”

I just think financially (UF 90,000 - UCF 45,000) and competitively, (#10 UF played 5 Top 25 teams, UCF played ZERO) it doesn't really make sense for us to play each other and we're going to move on. (and thank gawd for that...)
