UCF vs UF in the Gasparilla Bowl???
- Thread starter ucfjosh2000
- Start date
Found on twitter:
UCF has more FBS wins in Raymond James the last three years than the team that rents the stadium.

I’d like to stop comparing ourselves to our FCS counterparts to the “south”
Gasparilla Bowl announces it is sold out. Standing room only tix avail soon.
WOOT!
WOOT!
And our neighbors to the west are probably lucky to get 10k to come to most games.
Now we know why it is taking UCF ticket office to assign seats.
I have a gator fan that gave up with me in discussing the game. He ended saying, 'This is UCF's superbowl'.
I'm like...is that a bad thing? That I want my team to win the bowl game? Or, that UCF fans are not allowed to be as passionate about their football team. Most gator fans think the football universe orbits around them. They heckle Georgia and FSU fans, but when we UCF fans come a'knockin' they get all snowflakey... Just an observation. Go Knights.

This is UFs superbowl. They are already counting the excuses. Like this years UCF team is 2017 and going to mop the floor with them. They have almost every advantage.
Hopefully the game is competitive and also not 1999 triple option no passing football.
ok the opponent helps but great job fanbase . crowd will be bigger than the more marquee outback bowl 🤣 ![[roll]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/roll.r191677.gif "roll [roll]")
Reason tix haven't been assigned yet: Amazon servers crashed which put them about two days behind.
Awesome!!! Gotta think UCF is going to outnumber the Gator fans, but by how much? I'm thinking at least 60/40 with how pumped UCF fans are about the matchup vs Gator fans.
Ticketmaster crashed this morning went Iron Maiden tickets went available to the general public.
Exactly. Those USF twats like to run attendance smack and say our figures are bung. Well now they know.
UCF Receives More Than 20,000 Bowl Ticket Requests in 48 Hours - UCF Athletics
UCF Athletics received more than 20,000 ticket requests for the Knights' Dec. 23 postseason assignment against Florida in the Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl

#Gators linebacker Mohamoud Diabate has officially entered the NCAA Transfer Portal.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida Gators defensive end Zach Carter is opting out of the Gasparilla Bowl to begin preparing for the NFL draft.
Carter, a senior, made his announcement on social media Friday, thanking coaches from two regimes, fans, teammates and relatives.

Another 20-30 defections and we have a chance....LOL
He was their leading tackles for loss and sacks guy with 11.5 and 7.5. Keep ‘em coming!
I see a lot of smack talk going on from UCF fans on Twitter. I wouldn't talk too much sh_t coming from a team that was 8-4, with offensive issues and a lack of high-end athletic talent out on the field. I love the matchup. I'm there and it is going to be a great game-day atmosphere. I think it is an intriguing matchup of two programs but people on either side of this game talking smalk, or acting like whoever wins it has accomplished something that changes the trajectory of either program is over-hyping it. Just enjoy it for the spectacle it will be.

So I got the email that says I got my tickets and to go to app to see the seat assignments, but don’t see the seat assignment in the UCF app. What’s up with that, anyone else having this issue?
Mine show up in the app. Select the 3 horizontal lines in the top left corner, select View my Tickets, then Select Event.
If that doesn't work go to UCFathletics.com, Tickets, Manage my Tickets.
I’ve tried all of that, says I don’t have any tickets to upcoming events. But again, I got the email saying I have tickets for the Gasparilla Bowl. This process has been messy.
Gee we need a spreadsheet to keep track of all the transfers. It's getting more like sandlot football as you can pick players before the season starts. 😎

Are you a STH? If not how many priority points do you have? Maybe you didn’t make the cutoff but got the email. Or maybe they are still sorting it out. I would call them.
I think those are $20 through UCF. Cheapest get in price right now is $100 in the 3rd deck. So from that perspective you are lucky you made the cutoff.
I’m willing to bet scalpers picked up the general seats. Day of they should be cheaper.
I'm liking our chances...getting better each day as we get closer to bowl game. UF like rats jumping from a sinking ship on fire in a hurricane. Perfect storm....new coach w/no leadership at the helm, and players quiting on team for various reasons (better opportunity, NFL, winning record). Lets see how much further they can implode for the next couple weeks. I'm Mickey D'ing it...and
Unfortunately I still think it's a toss up with a chance of a blowoutI'm liking our chances...getting better each day as we get closer to bowl game.

Even with some of UF’s skill position players opting out, I still am concerned with the possibility that we’ll be dominated in the trenches. If we can’t stop the run, we have no shot.

“I'm expecting a full team. I've not heard from any of our guys. I'm not saying it won't happen in this day and time in college football, but I do know our guys are excited to play in this bowl game. We're excited to play right down the road. We want to really try to send our seniors out on a high note. Obviously in this game it would be. We're still in the foundation. I've said it like a broken record. We're in the foundation part of building our program. We're excited to play in a bowl game, especially in this state." - Coach Malzahn
This is pretty much exactly what I said earlier in this thread last week. Do people post that they were wrong on these forums, or is that usually not how this goes?
You have to think for yourself sometimes, you can’t always apply “well this happened the last couple years”, or “this is happening everywhere in the country”. Every school and every program is unique.
As is turns out - and like a few of us were saying - this isn’t a meaningless bowl game for both teams. It may be for UF, but for UCF you aren’t seeing the opt outs because:
a) this isn’t Marshall we’re playing in the Gasparilla Bowl, or even a good BYU team in Boca. This game has juice and seniors want to play against a premier national in-state program (even in a down year).
b) this year is not last year or the year before that. We have a very young team and we don’t have that many seniors. And like I said, the seniors we do have very likely don’t have the NFL on their radar. And if they did, they probably would have never stayed in college for fifth (Bryant, Schneider, Jackson, Johnson) or even sixth (Tatum, Hescock) years in the first place.
Other than Gabriel, K. Davis, and Armstrong (and Gilyard, transferred mid season), the team will be at relatively full strength. Still will be a very difficult game. But I still can’t believe people were actually posting that they didn’t want UCF to play this game. This fanbase sometimes, facepalm emoji.

You can't be serious asking if people will admit they were wrong on the internet.
