Oh I agree, but that won't translate to any preseason buzz for us, which is critical if we want to even sniff the top 10 next year.
All the buzz left when Frost left. They will just give him credit for our success if we win and we will start at #23 despite almost everyone returning.
I hate to be the Debbie downer but I fear we probably won’t get buzz anyway. Even if we win we’ll still be ranked like top 20 preseason with the excuse that we have a new staff, and key players like shaquem, Hughes, and tre’quan went to the NFL
Allegedly, but Chins is probably sitting in a lawn chair watching Netflix and counting hundred dollar bills.
That's the best part. The Auburn people who see that will think some little UCF guy "doesn't understand speed is, boy"
I mean....would you really care if he was doing that? Will anything he does or tries for the next few weeks make the slightest difference?
Was he the one that flew to Arizona after practice on Tuesday to do an in home visit for a Nebraska recruit? That bodes well for our defensive game plan is so
A few of them flew out to California (iirc) to meet with a QB recruit. They landed again at like 5 am and had to be at the 2nd practice a few hours later at 8 or 9.
TeamNebraska will get their guys, but they're sure as shit not going to come from Miami Northwestern. Looks like Randy Shannon's out there building a wall himself.
And got his commitment. It’s really not a big deal. Auburn’s coaches are coaching practices for Auburn and taking recruiting trips as well. Every team in a bowl is doing it. This staff’s coaching and recruiting just happens to be for two different universities.
Yeah, not really worried about Team Nebraska recruiting kids aspect of anything. They'd be doing the same stuff if they were here next year. Just don't be whispering in the ears of our current student athletes if you love this place so much and want us to do well. It would be nice if you didn't poach commits as well, but I can certainly understand that happens. Maybe the kid was committed to the coach and not the school, we do not want those kids here anyways (who would want a kid that doesn't want to be here?). Besides our new staff is not hindered by any bowl prep right now and by all accounts should be out busting ass getting kids 24/7.
I really want to see Griffin get a strip sack fumble return for a TD where he is spinning the football on his nub like a basketball yelling "What Handicap?"
I completely agree. It's hard for any new coaching staff to put together a class, especially with early signing period, but at least our new staff is about to focus 100% on recruiting right now.
Im not saying other teams and coaches aren’t but they are doing it for the same team they are coaching, not another one
Yea, it doesn’t bother me so long as they’re truly committed to winning this game. That said, I’m not sure whether they are.
Midtown Is your best bet of the 2. Locals really don’t hang in downtown. TableKnight said he was looking at doing the Ucf event at the georgian terrace hotel. I’m still undecided because I’m waiting to see who is doing what from the people I know coming up.

someone in our group is suggesting we watch the peach drop and bring thermoses filled with liquor. this sounds like a bad idea to me, but it's not like we're in college anymore either. if you could let me know if that's a good idea or not, why that would be a good idea or not, etc. i'd appreciate it. also what would the bathroom situation be if i did something like that? additionally, what other options in midtown would there be that would be ideal? not ucf related.
I’ve only been here once for New Years and this will be my 5th one here. Honestly I party like I’m still in college on weekends, but the older I get the less things like standing in a overcrowded group of people to watch a ball drop for 10 seconds appeal to me. I have been sending friends ideas for New Years, so once I get in front of my computer I’ll give you some options.
We're going to the aquarium from 4-8 for an official bowl party. It'll be our NYE celebration with the kids. Ya'll are welcome to join, the wife and I might even drink caffeinated soda! It's going to be so lit.
Leaving our 5 year old at home but bringing the 9 month old. So can’t really do adult things but not a point to do kids things either.
We're arriving on the 30th and need to fill that evening. Might see about a brewery or something. The 31st I think we're going to do some touristy stuff might do world of coke and CFB HoF in the AM .We're doing the aquarium thing from 4-8 and then I think the peach drop. The 1st is going to be tailgate and I believe the menus is bacon / biscuits and gravy. After the game we'll probably walk to or drive to a place to watch the rest of the bowl games, still need to figure out where that is.
seems like a lot of opposing players talk a lot of shit about bortles. i get that he's just now getting out of a rut and playing good but is there a reason why other players would say he's trash in pressers and what not? just seems like an asshole thing to say unless you truly hate the guy. didn't know if bortles gave them a reason to hate him, aside from beating their asses down.
Ok. I am going to list some events/bars in or near Midtown that I think would be solid for NYE. All You Can Drink Options http://atlantabeerfestivals.com/new-beers-eve/ this event is walking distance to 2 of the best bars in Atlanta if you do this and want to pregame (the Porter and Wrecking Bar) https://www.xorbia.com/events/atlantabeerfestivals/atlanta-wine-festivals-new-years-eve/ great venue, connected to one of Atlanta's biggest attractions Ponce City Market https://www.xorbia.com/e/yachtrock/NewYearsEve2017/?referral=https://www.xorbia.com over looks the major park in Atlanta. People fucking love Yacht Rock revue Other Options- 1. If you want to have a chill NYE Cypress Street is one of my favorite bars in Atlanta Cypress’ Relaxed NYE Celebration “Not in the mood for glitz, glamour and balloon drops this New Year’s Eve? Head to Cypress Street Pint and Plate, one of Atlanta’s most cherished neighborhood haunts, for its laid back NewYear’s Eve celebration. Open from 10 a.m. to 2:45 a.m., revelers are invited to belly up to the bar, sit by the fire pit, and mix and mingle with friends while watching college football. Partygoers can also enjoy the regular food menu, extensive craft beer list, $5 well drinks, half priced wine bottles, or can ring in the new year properly by taking advantage of half priced bottles of champagne or $3 champagne by the glass. Cypress Street Pint and Plate is located at 817 West Peachtree, Suite E-125.” 2. Ormsby's and Little Trouble I dont know if these bars are doing anything, but they are really cool spots next to each other in West Midtown. Ormsby's has indoor bocce ball and many different games, but can get crowded.
Damn it dong, was just coming to post about that. Does USF even have 5k fans if we got the BE invite over them years ago?
I don't know how they are so bad. They shouldn't be right? At 10-2 this year they had an empty stadium. They have to do something.
I mean, they're still top 25. P5 opponent for them too. Not saying we'd sell out our allotment, but we'd certainly sell more than 1,000 tickets
I met a usf girl on Thursday in Nashville. She actually really cared about USF sports, but felt like the same bowl 2 years in a row in Birmingham wasn’t exciting after barely losing to us and we got the Peach Bowl.
It's official, UCF killed off the last remanats of fan suppprt for USF, they will never recover from total apathy.
I’m all for shitting on USF whenever we can but realistically, I don’t think we would sell that much more then that either. Who the fuck wants to go to Birmingham? But hahaha and fuck them none the less
we would sell more but not by too much and two years in a row of bham bowl and we are probably looking similar. maybe i'm wrong but you're right in that it ain't much of a draw. unless we had a name opponent.
