You realize its a bowl game that neither team is at full strength and we don’t know who is even playing. The next reg season game means so much more
Get used to it. Will only get worse. Can’t wait to see Mikey Keene play again.
You should probably duck out before the move to the big 12. Clearly rooting for big time football is not for you if you can’t handle ribbing from opposing teams. We are about to get a step up from Tulane, Tulsa, and Temple.
Yeah, Gasparilla bowl, huge time football. Thanks for your input, you’re a big time douche bag.
You seem to rile easily. Can’t imagine why you went snowflake over a comment from a Louisville fan.
Unless one of those is mislabeled you are right. I think it’s better we close gap all time versus UF than bowl record anyway.
I also messed up my last week's post by saying G6. Maybe early alzheimer symptoms and/or day drinking miscalculations?!? . . Go Knights.

I love how the SEC and UF specifically likes to pick and choose when you can use the transitive property when it’s convenient to them, yet totally disregarded it in 2017 when it’s not. Hypocrites to the fullest…I don't know who you pull for cubs79, but this is a BIG game for UCF. Especially within Florida.
"Still, this will be a battle for Sunshine State supremacy. Florida’s win over FSU and FSU’s win over Miami establishes a clear leader among the Big Three when the transitive property is considered, and its wins over USF and FAU — which itself beat FIU — also produce a hierarchy in the state."
Florida, UCF to play in 2021 Gasparilla Bowl
It’s a party — and a long-awaited reunion of two of the Sunshine State’s recent rulers.
If not and Auburn fan, please declare your allegiance so know where you viewpoint is coming from. So far, I haven't seen any in-depth articles on this match up. To this point they all have been rehashing the past, stating the obvious, even calling us Golden Knights. Hopefully, we get some coach press conference to get some more in depth info. Regardless, should be an interesting match up. Both teams had disappointed seasons. UCF is a little more stable at the moment. Gators probably on they way up with a refreshed and renewed coaching staff for next year. We will learn more within the 3 weeks up to game time. Kind of curious on ticket sales as well. Ticketmaster had a waiting queue to buy tickets yesterday.
And Cubs, go check Big Kat Bryant Twitter (don't know if playing yet or not) but one post he declares UCF the best team in Florida. You be silly not to think players are calculating where the best future will be. With UCF in the Big 12, or Gators in the SEC. Thus, this is a big game for us Floridians. Your mileage obviously varies and I suspect your allegiance is to Auburn. If so, good luck with Houston Cougars in Birmingham. I heard Harsin can't win the big one.
As a long time UCF fan (80s), we have lived under the shadow of Gator Country. Beating the gators under any circumstances is BIG for us. You forget we are the underdogs in this and we need Malzhan to pull us back to relevance and are hoping he succeeds.
He never played in many big games because he has to beat Bama, LSU, and Texas A&M (at least 2 of the 3) any season to probably have a shot to play in the SEC title game, nevermind anything after that. Doesn't mean he is a bad coach. More important than coaching is recruiting. Players make teams, not coaches. Do I have to post the Kirby Smart 60 second video clip for the millionth time?!?!??!? Malzhan was 3-7 against Bama (as head coach; 4-9 if you include being Auburn's OC). Not bad, all things considered.
Takes both, otherwise Texas who had multiple recent years ranked in the top 5 for recruiting wouldn't lose to Kansas and miss out on a bowl game.
Seems to me that winning the Iron Bowl 3x fits the definition of winning the big one. Auburn complaining that they cannot win the NC is the same complaint that UGA, UF, Texas etc etc (insert blue blood program not named Clemson or Alabama) has. Now they are sitting at 6-6. The truth is that Auburn is going to continue to live in the shadow of Alabama for the foreseeable future.
Agreed. Not sure why a very small number of our fans is downplaying the significance of this game. A win against the gators would be HUGE for our program. Anyone who says otherwise is being rather foolish.I don't know who you pull for cubs79, but this is a BIG game for UCF. Especially within Florida.

You are looking at the "name brand" aspect of the Gators, but that doesnt take away from the fact they are a .500 team who only won 2 conference games and dont have a real coaching staff. I get the bragging rights aspect and all that, but it still doesnt mean it's a big game for either. As I've said, Floridas future is dependent on the new coaching staff, and UCFs future is dependent on how they adjust to being in the Big 12. This game is mostly meaningless with regards to those things.
