I don't care for Mike Bianchi sometimes (ok, a lot) but I love his gonades for publicly telling one of the more well known big wigs off...

Stay on message. Great reply from Bianchi.

I dig it. Bianchi basically told Finebaum, "I know that I'm making an enemy here - and it might even damage my career - but I don't care Paul. You've failed your role as a member of the media. You've lost your perspective."

People outside of Orlando have no idea who Bianchi is. Mission accomplished.

 

[muckdawg24]

As long as it keep coming up in the media, we win. Free publicity baby.

Yes, but it also could have hurt Bianchi's chance at moving up, such as at ESPN, where there are more than a few Orlando sentinel alums working....

ESPN is laying people off left and right. I don’t think Finebaum has enough pull to make sure ESPN doesn’t hire someone. I don’t know Finebaums background but he probably ruffled a few feathers before he got ESPN gig.

Let’s be honest here - who actually thinks Finebaum controls his twitter account let alone knows what a tweet is?

 

[SiberianKnightmare]

ESPN has on air tv personalities that take shots at the company itself. They aren't worried about a local radio guy taking a shot at a dude with a show on one of their B level channels. Hell, look at what Lebatard says on a daily basis.

That ship left port decades ago.

Lebatard show is hilarious today, peak form. Mocking Dan Patrick Show's over the hill celeb worship on the line with him, DJing ode to Ultra, Katie Nolan.

I don't know how Finebaum is still on the air, his show is too myopic

 

[UCFSig]

Bianchi is earning his nickname on this issue.

I honestly think this whole thing improves his chances of moving up in the sports journalism world. Guys like Stephen A Smith, Skip Bayless, and Cowherd used an outspoken and contradictory style to get their own shows.

If you’ve ever listened to Finebaum’s show almost every single one of his callers hails from the backwoods of Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia, and Mississippi. He has those markets down pat.

He has the rickets demographic in his back overalls.

Not sure which one of you came up with this one, but bravo!

Alabama fans just can't help themselves.....God, they're dumb....

So because Bama had better recruiting rankings (as did Auburn), they would automatically win?

UCF had to play 11 straight weeks and had all "must wins" just to win their division, let alone championship game...something Bama couldn't/didn't do.

Once fully rested...UCF's D played very close to their potential...and after a rusty first half...UCF's offense was back to playing at a higher level.

Games are never won on paper...yet certain so-called writers/reporters try to do that all the time.

This picture is everything. Bama's schedule was hot garbage.

Bama's argument is what Bama is known for in the past, power running and defense.

 

[UCFBS]

Bianchi used to 'stretch' a lot of arguments to where they shouldn't be. It used to make me cringe at times.

But we've given him so many of late that he doesn't need to stretch them at all any more. They are on-point.

 

[SiberianKnightmare]

I love that we are staying under their skin. And there is nothing they can do about it because they refuse to play us. Even if we go in the tank, they can;t say they ever actually beat us.

Wait until they visit Orlando in September.

I might just buy a block of tickets in the end zone directly behind the goal posts, invite a bunch of people to come in with me, and have them help me hold a gigantic 20' x 30' sign of this up so it is visible during all XP's and FG's:

The national anthem should be interesting.

Since we already beat them there is no reason to ever play them again. Lets flush the tide and move on! LOL!

FWIW, I just received my first death threats from the Alabama fan base. I ought to feel honored, lol...

I think you’ll be Ok , but just watch your trees. Those Alabama fans are very clever with their herbicides. Ask Auburn.

I wouldn't worry about it too much... In order for them to get to you they would have to find wheels to put on their car that is currently on blocks in their front yard.

I'm sure the trailer park manager would appreciate them moving their vehicle as well.
