Was anyone else a fan of UCF before this bowl announcement?

Now that I've visited their message board, I find them to be like a mix between a ULL and Arkansas fan after shotgunning a few Bang energy drinks. Just absolutely obnoxious with the little brother syndrome.

They have a message board?

I can only imagine what they must think of this place.

I still kind of like them. They sure know how to ruffle the feathers of bigger programs.

If teams don't like them running their mouth, then they should do something about it by actually beating them.

Not really. Although I did pull for them against Auburn last year.

not so much for me.

I like the way they use their recievers who are big and strong (not exceptionally tall). They throw into small windows, but aren't scared of it because those small windows are created by their WRs using those big bodies. They don't rely on timing because, unlike us, those WRs screen defenders out of that window.

I like their OL too. They can move. They don't have the fascination with weight that many have. Their best OT, a rs-SR by the way, is just under 300 lbs. Most of our fanbase would freak over that. As a squad, they have a top-25 OL (we're in the 80's); against our competition in our conference that would likely be in the 40's, which is nothing to sneeze at. They run traps exceptionally well. Part of that is their OLmen's agility, but they scheme it very well too. It's just a solid group that with the exception of their C is experienced.

There's some things with them to be jealous of.

There is no reason to take them for granted. Those two things together are a potent combo and can make any QB look good. We'll have plenty of opportunity to make plays on D, including blitzs; they've never seen anything like what we do.

I shutter to think of what other fans think of us when they visit The Rant for the first time.

I really like and support UCF. My kids went or go there and it's a pretty cool school. BUT I LOVE LSU!!! They suffer from Little Brother Syndrome and they have been screwed by their situation. There is no other school that came out of nothing to compete with the big boys like this except maybe Boise. They are three times the size of Boise and have twice the enrollment of LSU.

They were 10 years too late to the party. They were a joke when the expansion occurred and any expansion that will occur does not make sense, like Big 12 or Big 10 just so they can get into Florida. The can compete with the Big Boys only in Football and baseball. Their basketball and women sports are subpar even for the AAC.

They should have made the playoffs this year and last year
