Time to shutdown this thread, the torch has passed. FAU is now USFs biggest rival.
Great articleThe ending of that article is pure gold 🤩
The big victories, countless smaller ones and fortuitous timing all led to a reversal that would have seemed incomprehensible in 2008, when the St. Petersburg Times compared the USF-UCF rivalry to that of a bug and a windshield, and assistant Carl Franks laughed at how the Bulls were clearly out of UCF’s league.
“We’re trying to build a rivalry with Miami,” Franks said then. “Maybe they should get one with FIU or FAU.”
Fifteen years later, the Realignment War on I-4 is over, for now. UCF is headed to the big time to play Oklahoma and Kansas State and Baylor, leaving a splattered USF in the rearview mirror.
The Bulls’ new annual rival?
FAU.
It was so good. Loved it for so many reason..they hate their local media and trash them at every stop. Said local media then start trashing them and writing pro-UCF stories (I.e. this one and the most recent successful NIL party in Tampa). The whole FAU being our rival coming full circle as now their rival is awesome. Now everyone one Twitter from the new AAC teams and even from current AAC teams are dumping on them. It’s just the karma coming to full fruition and I love it.Great article

They love using that #2 Ranking they held for a week like 15 years ago.
Nothing but truth from the Times- How UCF left USF in the dust

“ I didn’t read it, but did someone say they lied?”
I love how their ringleader Brad..who promotes their delusions of grandeur the most refuses to even read the article.
It causes them so much distress that UCF is a Power 5 program, part of Florida’s Big 4, collecting $50 million checks, had the winningest AAC sports program over the last 10 years and is clearly the more attractive school….
that they can’t bring themselves to even read an article which brings them back to the real world and shows them the national dumpster fire their program is. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Please Say it’s not so!!! Denial is strong with the chickieepoos.
99% of the comments are for FAU 😂It's official...USiF and FAU are now official rivals promoted by the AAC! 😂
The comments are hilarious!
I've always been a big proponent for DEI. Love seeing FAU competing as I know giving them a chance they will excel.99% of the comments are for FAU 😂
Love it! These losers are already making excuses for losing to FAU! “We’re better than them, even though they kicked our ass all over the field!” Yeah, right.🤣
They aren’t beating Uconn away in the cold, they were a bowl team last year and improved a lot actually.I see possibly two wins. Famu & UConn. But Oct 21 is pretty cold up there.

their writers are so much better than the Orlando SentinelWhat can UCF football fans expect from Knights’ first Big 12 season?
Tampa Bay Times again covering UCF.
Maybe the best UCF article ever written over the past 10 year by ANYONE...and it makes it even sweeter its written by those from the Tampa Bay Times.
I don't think they are going bowling but I think its a possibility they will get 5Ws this year. I saw the Vegas odds were something like 25% chance of getting 5Ws. Its more than a remote possibility. USF's teams have lacked discipline and the penalties took away most of their close games last year. They have better raw talent than Connecticut, Temple, Charlotte, and Rice. These are the games that I think are their most winnable. I'm really tempted to tune into the FAU/USF game to check out the new in state rivalry.FAMU (9-2), Temple (beat usf last year 54-28), Charlotte (3-9), and Rice (5-8) all have more wins than duh*bulls last year. duh*bulls also have a new coach and I don't know the percentage but probably 75 percent new team roster. You really think they have a chance? On what? That they were ranked #2 16 years ago?
After looking at 2022 FAMU I'm starting to doubt they have a chance to beat them.
Sorry, don't see it. 5 wins? That's laughable. Most experts have duh*bulls finishing 2nd to last in AAC. They better hope the last place team is on their schedule for one win.
Goulash is implementing a fast paced offense...with all new players....i.e. recipe for disaster. Quick 3 and outs will leave a defense depleted. I'd have to go see usf turnover and defections on defense but I don't see an offensive minded coach improving a dismal defense in one season and with the current Genshaft Curse still applied to duh*bulls...probably won't win a single game.
Here's hoping!
I was up there for our loss in 2014. It as the most miserable outdoor experience I’ve ever experienced, and I’ve been hiking on a day where it rained 3 inches.I see possibly two wins. Famu & UConn. But Oct 21 is pretty cold up there.

If they find a decent QB I could see them winning 4-5 games.I see possibly two wins. Famu & UConn. But Oct 21 is pretty cold up there.

It can't get worse than when they switched to Willie T's offense. Watching them play Houston and after 6ish false start penalties, they were 1st and 35 and trying to get beyond mid field.their offense was pretty good last year but the switch to Heupel’s offense could cause more pre snap penalties
