Apparently Sportscenter has a Research Position Available

[Orlando Bull]

I just heard that that was the most we have scored in our history.

Hmm, I guess they started at the end and were working back toward the beginning. Maybe they should have started at the other side. I don't think they would have had to go very far if they started at the 1997 season.

dont forget the almanac says we lost that game 80-3  ;D

[bullsfan555]

Obviously they're using the "ESPN College Football Encyclopedia," which says that Kentucky Wesleyan beat us 80-3 instead of us beating them in our inaugural game:

"USF played its first football game in 1997, as a Division I-AA program. Just before kickoff of its initial game, it was discovered it had no kicking tee, prompting motorcycle police officers to rush to a nearby sporting-goods store to pick one up. The Bulls proceeded to beat Kentucky Wesleyan 80-3 in that opener, but the ESPN College Football Encyclopedia states Kentucky Wesleyan won that game."

( see: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/chronicle/archive/2007/09/10/SPVPS1TV2.DTL )

We probably scored more than 64 in another game along the way as well.

Not sure of the exact scores of the other two games, but this is from Greg's blog: With a 64-12 win, the Bulls had their fourth-largest margin of victory, putting UCF in the elite company of Kentucky Wesleyan (79-point loss), Cumberland (66) and Austin Peay (59). It's the second-worst loss in UCF history, bested only by a 69-0 loss to Virginia Military Institute in 1982.

Man, they really messed up that stat... if our margin of victory was higher in 3 other games than our total points in this game.  :

The ESPNU announcers also said UCF and USF used to be in the same conference.

Sure we were--at exactly the stroke of midnight on July 1, 2005 (or whenever we made the move to the Big East/they made the move to C-USA)

Nope, they didn't get invited until well after we left.
