The school to the East made theirs count and are still profiting off of it.

USF doesn’t have the luxury of playing games for fun. A strong showing, or dare I even say a win, by USF in a USF/UCF matchup does far more for the program (fan base and recruiting) than playing in a game across the country in an irrelevant matchup that no more than a couple of hundred USF fans will actually be there in-person to see. 6-6 isn’t Hawaii celebration time, back to work…”coffee is for closers”

I think you’re putting a bit too much weight on a bowl game against these two teams. He would not have the same meaning that people think it will. IMHO

I think it's for the extra practice, getting the die hard players a trip to celebrate, and a much needed upward trend line.

And we get an extra game.

I would love to read the excuses if we  pulled off an upset to beat them, I am sure be that the  game was meaningless and their best players didn't play. Then that invalidates their fake Natty and their Gator wins.

We seem to like Bham ... in the post season. May be a good way to kill some demons in that stadium for going forward.

Perhaps, but I’d venture to say that outside of the playoffs games, USF v UCF would have one of, if not the, largest crowd/tv audience of the bowl games.

That could very well be true ......... just make it an out of state bowl.

Good with that…just can’t be Hawaii…somewhere folks can reasonably travel to.

Opposite for me. Hawaii would be perfect. Nice reward for the season .... and for having to play the assclowns again.

    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.
