If crop harvesting on Farmville was an actual profession I'm sure UCF probably would have probably came out on top in the LinkedIn fan base study.

I'm sure this was posted in the past few days... but it contains some interesting numbers.

Brad had asked me why I thought USF was ahead of UCF. The article has more stats why I think USF is just head of UCF as the better selection for realignment,

There's an obvious underestimation in the number of UCF fans being that most UCF graduates don't have jobs and are unlikely to have Linkedin accounts....

 

 

But if you factor in that most UCF graduates on LinkedIn are probably fans of UF/FSU/UM, it balances out

Good friend of mine just got a job with Tech Data using linkedin, but that is pretty rare. Actually, facebook has helped me get laid, so linkedin is much less effective than facebook if you ask me.

i think his point is that linkedin data should not be used for market research purposes as it does not accurately reflect anything really.

But they beat Baylor.

That made me laugh a lot for some reason. That said, winning a BCS bowl is pretty neat.

@GSwaim: Heavy lean among #Big12 media is conference won't add unless they feel forced, and #BYU, #UCBearcats leaders to 12 teams, #UCF, #USF on deck

@daviddubben Mike Gundy: "In my opinion, there's going to be two teams added (to the Big 12). ...That just seems to be the direction it's going."

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
