OT: UCF brand

[GemParty]

We hear a lot about damaging a brand. Death spirals of irrelevance. How does this team lose every game in 2015 then go undefeated this year? They had 51 of the same players. A coaching change.

It really shows how broken & unfair college football is. Love the fact Frost, coached the game, having taken the Nebraska job.

Can you damage a brand beyond just conference purgatory?

Winning always helps.

We are in a bad conference right? our football is holding us back? Yet UCF beats SEC Auburn, goes undefeated. They were trolled for not having a hard schedule. We need to play up to our conference in both football and basketball and stop making excuses.

It'd be cool if we were located in a recruiting hot bed. The Florida schools get the benefit of scooping up all the kids the bigger schools underappreciated.

It helps the AAC earn credibility with the Power 5 conferences. Not a bad showing on the football side of the conference and with the addition of Wichita State basketball is getting better.

Look at FIU. They've been a non-existent program and look at them now. Imagine if one Florida school could get all of the best Florida players? They end up splitting them amongst Florida, FSU, Miami and the other SEC schools (and some ACC schools). There's a ton of talent there and our football program should take any scraps we can get.

How quickly we forget that UCF went 12-1 and won the Fiesta Bowl in 2013...,their starQB bexomes an NFL starter and rhey go einless by 2015...

Now they have a gunner at QB.....it's all about the QB.

We are...........for basketball. We will never be a football power but we should always be relevant in basketball based on proximity to NYC and all the current great talent in the northeast.

If Oregon can be one, we can be one, too!

This UCF team, with Clemson's schedule, goes undefeated.

Because we have a benefactor who owns one of the largest athletic apparel brands in the world and showers UConn with money and exposure. Right.

Not in a hot bed... not far from one. But not in one.

If Oregon can be one, we can be one, too!

Oregon lives in the Pac 10.... Uconn lives in a home for wayward (but occasionally victorious) football programs..and the Nike thing is just a wee bit helpful.
