Wikipedia Article Speculates about USF Rivals...

[USFreak]

All the talk I've seen in the media talks specifically about the potential of a rivalry.  Are you telling me that Joe Florida even knows USF and UCF exist and are rivals?  Are you telling me that this was a rivalry before we even ever played a down of football?  That is RIDICULOUS.  It occurs to me that nobody on this thread knows what a REAL rivalry is, if they think one exists with UCF.

You seem to have this hangup on comparing rivalries.

Jefferson/Armwood is a rivalry and you'd be hard-pressed for Joe Florida to know about it either.  Query some dude in Orlando and ask him if he knows.

You make it like USF and UCF have never stepped on any sort of field/court/diamond together.  There are plenty of other things they compete across.

Selected by ESPN as the fifth best rivalry in college football:

The sole national coverage posted here calling USF/UCF a rivalry called it "potential".  The quote is even somewhere in this thread.

That's not a fact.  That's ESPN's opinion.  We need facts.  I can show you the St. Pete Time's article that USF/UCF is a rivalry.  A rivalry doesn't have to be ranked by some random press agent to be a rivalry.

If you think ESPN doesn't know what a college football rivalry is, you could be a deluded USF fan obsessed with the demand that a rivalry exists against UCF...

SPT is local, and hence slanted.  Like I said, there's only been one mention of a USF/UCF rivalry from a national source, and it mentioned the potential of one.

You just made my point for me.  It can become a rivalry, but isn't there yet.  I've been posting that for the entirety of this thread.  Thank you.

so that is the only "proof" you needed...was someone who agreed with you?

boy you are very predictiable.

[USFMikeB]

No, I don't need any proof to support my opinion, I've been around real rivalries before.  But you've finally seen the potential light...

ive said before i dont care if it is a rival or not.  i think its good for both schools to play the games and see what happens.

UCF is a great way for us to fulfill our agreement with C-USA so we will atleast play another 2 games after this season.

i just think its a waste of time to argue of something that we all know will happen.  some just think it already has.  who cares.

like i said, i come on board to this thread because someone up in michigan was saying that the students didnt come out and support last season.

[USFMikeB]

For the last time, I never said that.  I really wish you would learn to read a post and understand it before making slapstick accusations.

i heard the UCF kicker is better than the USF kicker, is this true?
