Memphis vs UCF - AAC title game

[UCFBfan]

Dude, if you are that bearish about G5 programs, why watch at all?

Don’t get me wrong, if Frost sticks around I think UCF could totally hang with any of the top teams. My point is most years, the NY6 team is playing with an interim coach because their head coach left and gets blown out. It happened in the BCS years too. Cincy got blasted the year Kelly left before their BCS game. Houston won their game but Herman stuck around that season.

It just sucks for the kids who pay their butts off and then have to go into the biggest game of their careers without the coach who led them there because he found a job that pays a lot more. I know it’s the G5 reality but it’s the truth.

2nd week in a row, high scoring, entertaining game, going down to the wire. Can't ask for anymore if you're Aresco.

I’m surprised how many people like watching this kind of football. This is complete garbage.

Hartford Hank, aren't you going to "like" this post? Didn't think so.

I'm not buying these teams don't beat P5s in major bowls. We've been watching it happen almost every year for 15 years. These teams are loaded with speed.

Why would I like the post, it is WRONG! Attendance in Charlotte has been very good! It will be a sellout tonight as it was last time the game was there!

Almost every year? Please go back 15 years and show where it has happened "almost every year"? How about showing us where it has happened 10 of the last 15 years?

Boy, watching UCF, USF and Memphis over the past 2 weeks, you realize we need a gunslinger to keep pace with these teams. The AAC reminds me of the old WAC. We can't survive playing chain to chain possession football.

Hmmm, you sound like you are still watching.

But I bet you have watched far more of this high scoring and now tied so called POS game than that B12 championship snooze on Fox. Is there a pulse in that building in B12 Land.

I'd love to see just one of these coaches have enough integrity to stay where they are and build something. Funny how they want their contract terms when things don't go well, but will jump at the first shiny object. No loyalty or integrity, yet they expect atheletes to live and die with their choices.

Curious ...

I wonder if you are like this in your career and professional life. Scott Frost, seemingly, could have had UCLA or Florida ... but is going back to a PLACE that he loves in Nebraska. That actually is a contrarian thought this day. Would you stay at the corner convenience store if Shop& Save offered you 150% more; would our businesslawyer stay with his Dad's firm if Skadden Arps offered him 1000% more?

Ain't just about shiny objects for these guys. And ... I think - as we saw with HCRE - how you exit a job, marriage, school, family is important. Do the best you can with kids you presumably have relationships with.

You’re such a blowhard. Tonight will be sold out. Most years they have the upper deck tarped off.

Not garbage. You have QBs making amazingly accurate throws and receivers making great catches in tight windows. The run D is being shredded because of pass offense.

But if UConn had left for greener pastures if would have been different. Right?

I'd like to think if it had been UConn that left we wouldn't get involved in any conspiracies to sabotage the life of the conference we just departed. So yes.

Hmmm, you sound like you are still watching.

I’m flipping around. There’s not an abundance of competitive games on right now.

This is garbage football. The BY panned Bedlam as unwatchable but oh this is the AAC so it’s a showcase for the league. This place is funny.

 

[ASweet3781]

Yes 2 offenses that have been great all year making plays is awful to watch.

And there have been defensive stops in the game. Memphis got 2 interceptions in 1st half in red zone and just stopped UCF on 3rd and 1 with 3 minutes left in tied game.

Please show me the pictures of the stadium half full in Charlotte. Tonight will be a sellout as was the last game in Charlotte.

Focusing on facts, last year's nACC game conveniently located between highly-ranked Clemson team and VA Tech drew 50K fans. Better than prior nACC championship games which drew far fewer attendees, e.g., the worst examples involving your BCU teams in Jacksonville. However, still over 33% empty (Charlotte's stadium seats 75K). And, in a city (Charlotte) with massive boatloads of Clemson and VT students, alumni, and other fans. Again, just actual facts yet maybe . tonight's game may draw more fan. Or, not ...

this game is exactly like the early AFL games from the Houston Oilers.

Well that pic was from the 4th quarter so most had left by then

LOL. 3rd &14 and Memphis is playing for field position and the kid runs for 30. AWESOME FOOTBALL!

Poof - perfect season at risk now! Cue the “Frost was distracted by Nebraska” stories!

Can’t you find some nice game to watch were 3rd and 8 is impossible and someone has a three score lead?

 

[Exit 4]

Blocked kicks! Total bush league! Where is the quality?!

 

[BugsyCT]

Delay of game by the kicking team so they get another shot. Wow.

 

[ASweet3781]

Another defensive stop when needed...now by UCF.

Such garbage football.

LOL. 3rd &14 and Memphis is playing for field position and the kid runs for 30. AWESOME FOOTBALL!

Any comment's on UCF's D holding Memphis to a FG attempt when after that conversion attempt and blocking the FG?

Yes, this game is garbage. You do realize Memphis has put up 70 2 times this year? Perhaps they are hard to stop?

 

[UCFBfan]

Ok so why kick it after the delay of game? Just punt it and play for Ot
