Are you advocating we put it on the St Pete campus? Either way I don’t mind if we build an OCS as long as we have a plan. I just don’t think we currently do, that the B12 cares one way or another about an OCS, or that it magically solves what has become our systematic failure and if it does why didn’t anyone tell the basketball team?

I won’t argue any of that but I would still like to see an OCS.

I think that’s entirely fair position it is just my experience in life that when people decide they have millions of problems directly within their reach and they can’t solve them but if they just had this one giant thing that’s going to take a huge influx of cash and won’t be completed until years and years from now that they typically aren’t going to do any better when that happens because if you actually do things you control you organically get to the big thing or decide you don’t actually need it and it wasn’t actually holding you back.

 I'll have to circle back on this when im sober. Reading your posts with some beers in me makes my head spin. That is the longest run on sentence known to man...

Wow. Kind of weird when we empathize with this sentiment

Were these at an OCS?

 

FWIW there were still 26K people at that game even though UCF was winless. These shots were taken basically when the game was lost for them. Do we honestly think we would get more than 20K at Ray Jay if we were winless for an entire year? Doubt the students would consider the drive at all, while an OCS at least gives them something to do walking distance from their dorms.

Yes at the very minimum there would be 26k ucf fans

Let me do my best JK impression "Actual or tickets distributed?"

There are times we haven't had 20k actual in the past.

I find drinking is probably the best time to read my posts and as for the run ons I’ve actually made them far longer on here. I thought about using punctuation but then I didn’t.

Well bringing it back to the topic of students. This is a shot of their student section from that game, even after going winless.

I doubt it would look like that if the students were forced to drive 25+ minutes (aka find a DD, a grueling task as a college student), deal with 275, pay $20 for parking while knowing your team sucks, etc. - instead just walking from their dorms for a tailgate and college football game. In fact, we know the student section wouldn't look like that based on what USF's looks like at Ray Jay even when we do have a winning team. It's not like UCF's program/students are that more passionate than USF's, we're basically siblings in all aspects besides education, where we are better. Also, getting alumni back on campus is an awesome feeling and the Temple Terrace community would receive a nice economic boost on gamedays. 

Ray Jay for USF sucks man.

Yeah I'm not sure anyone that prefers Ray Jay has been a student since we've been a G5 team. When I lived in the dorms I had more luck convincing the non sports fans to go to Soccer and Basketball games because we could just walk over.
