re: UCF still in denial

They are very pathetic folks indeed. Did they miss looking at stats of the game? Not even close. Bottom line is, instead of asking for people to donate money so they can BS investigate the SEC, why don’t they focus their time and energy into getting better and joining a better conference? It’s really that simple. If you are as good as you say you are, play in a better conference. If not, then we will all just accept you like to complain and not do anything to improve your situation.

We complain about way too much shite, imo.

So let me backtrack just a bit. While I said it would be nice if we could get along with our conference, seeing as we are a founding member, I meant to imply that it’s a two-way street.

My personal grief with the SEC really falls into four categories:
- The UF hurricane debacle (spilled milk at this point)
- Cross-division scheduling (ongoing)
- Lack of transparency in officiating and enforcement of conference rules (ongoing)
- Reluctance to change/adapt (ongoing)

I think the athletic department probably has the same concerns.

Did we go overboard with our reaction to the Devin White targeting call? Probably. But it doesn’t change the fact that the conference has been woefully inconsistent with its interpretation of the rule, or other rules (e.g. Raekwon Davis).

The cross-division scheduling is an ongoing abomination that, as far as I can tell, exists only to appease Tennessee and Alabama.

The reluctance to change can be seen with the current stance toward alcohol in the stadiums, for example.

At the end of the day it takes a movement and LSU has a vote just like the other 13 members. But it does feel like a slap in the face when we are seen as a problem child even though we have been in this league for 85 years.

But putting all of that aside I would rather play in the best conference in college football than be in UCF’s shoes. If we win our conference, there’s no debating whether we are one of the four best teams in the country. They win their conference and they are left searching for conspiracies to keep them from playing with the big boys even after we beat them handily with the equivalent of a 2nd-3rd string defense.

failed to mention LSU was so depleted on defense we put WRs at CB.

It is a gofundme ad, what do you expect?

This is a close second to many of us to can’t seem to get over January 5th, 1583

This isn't a conference issue only though. This has been an issue throughout the NCAAF this year. They really do need to re work the targeting rule.

I'm not going to quote the rest of what you typed but I do agree with it in general. I just think that we need to be more thoughtful on how to actually bring about the changes we want. Also, those things are a problem but they're not the reason LSU is finishing middle of the pack in the SEC in recent past. Which is why I don't understand why some want to leave.

They wouldn't even beat North Dakota State. A team that just wins championships and doesn't run around the country acting like a bunch of idiots complaining.

Facts are UCF is in a weak conference. And they do not have the physicality or depth to hang with an SEC schedule for a full season. The whole country knows it. Let them wine. Who gives a shite.

One word....."Crazy"!

550 total yards vs. 250 total yards.

The 250 yards was against a secondary missing 2 all Americans and playing WR's at the CB position.

UCF fans should be proud at the way their team their team is playing the past few years. They have every right to be excited. But they need to be realistic. They would be sub 500 playing in the SEC.
