I love how UCF fans talk more crap than anyone...and yet they still manage to lose to us 3 years in a row. make that 4 after saturday.

ugh oh! USF didn't sell their tickets and had to return 500+ of them! I guess usf fans don't like watching their team play!

G.A.

If UCF wins one of those three games and is conference champ again, I will be very impressed. If UCF had beaten any of those three teams last year with Kevin Smith (and yes, I know you beat N.C. State) I would have been impressed.

You're on the record with it here, so you can come back proudly when/if it happens ...

1234fif is a Turd

Turd, great point on the stadium and the mascot, all valid and extremely creative on your part.

I heard they made UCF’s stadium out of popsicle sticks.

And by inflated you mean voted on by the press all over the country.

USF/BC/Miami: I guarantee we will win at least one of those games, and be conference champions again.

And I guarantee USF will lose their bowl game again.

1234fif - if the old "facilities" argument held any water, UCF would be at the top of a BCS conference.

Too bad that that an OCS doesn't translate into on-field successes such as wins over ranked teams, more than 2 wins over BCS teams in 20+ years and a coach that always tells the truth.

UCF < FAU < USF

It must be tough for USF to be an inflated preseason top 25 rank, and still be renting the stadium they play in on saturdays. Maybe you should change your mascot to the Bucs also, then at least it would match the logo at midfield. Until you have YOUR name on the side of YOUR stadium, I have no respect for you.

May Tampa burn to the ground.

We did it to UF in 2001 for hoops. Smart marketing on part of USF then, and smart on UCF now.

Ken

We'll be there!

Student tickets arent available till sunday... and they cost 45 bucks... kinda steep for us students but im going to make it... hopefully

Hey it's a good strategy on UCF's part:

You want to see the marquee game on their schedule, you got to buy the season ticket package.

I was at the Texas Game and that stadium definitely deserves the nickname of the "wok".

Growler Bull

Interesting how UCiF is already announcing their attendance for the entire year at 41K.

Are they just taking for granted that the entire student section is going to be filled up? Hell....they had a 'great' year for a C-DOA team, and they were not filling up the stadium.

I can't wait to see the pictures of a half empty erector stadium but an announced 45K sell out. This is laughabl considering how they used make fun of USF's attendance.

Bullshark

Just a larger crowd of UCF fans for UCF to lose in front of.

Mike Lakeland

That's right...the newness of their stadium coupled with the absence of Texas fans buying season tickets for the one game as made their fanbase shrink.

If the UCF game isn't a sellout, that shows extremely poorly on their athletics marketing and strategies.

Paul Colee

You can keep the tickets away from our fans but you can't keep the Bulls out of the end zone!
