Bailer learned to recruit in the SWC days. If you ain't cheatin' you ain't tryin'.
UCF, who knows but they are in the middle of a huge pool of talent. I see a lot of kids out there for them that are a couple inches short or 15lbs. light who are proving the big schools who passed on them wrong. Bordles was mostly ignored as a QB in recruiting.
UCF has been building for over a decade. They have the best facilities in the state. They built an athletic complex with a football stadium, four dorm high-rises, new arena, and a full field IPF. 50,000 students to draw an athletic fee from. The real question is what took them so long to get here? Baylor made a deal with the devil, no doubt.
Just finished FaceTiming my kid in China. His best friend's sis went to school in Waco. She said its a WallMart and one strip mall. The kid totally thinks the only way a top recruit goes there is for, umm, added benefits.
what a horribly tragic result.
Lots of really ****ty tackling in this one.
So it doesn't matter any more to your age group if when you're flipping through the channels you can't tell whether you're seeing Baylor, Colorado or some other team until you read the graphic they put on the screen?
How so? The underdogs beat the overhyped.
No it does, I just really liked the jerseys that (****) Bailor had tonight

No doubt they've done a great job for a program that's only been playing at the FBS level for about 15 years. It helps being in the AAC but even so they did have a couple of nice wins over Louisville and PSU, both on the road, and they gave the Gamecocks all they could handle. The question is can they sustain it, but it sounds like they have everything in place to do so. USF had a similar fast rise for a young program and almost made a BCS bowl a few years back. I expect we'll see similar fast rises with other new programs like ODU and UNC-Charlotte, who will both be joining C-USA over the next 2 seasons.
UCF has a pretty awesome layout on campus with the "athletics village". Pretty basic stadium but it is obvious they built it with the intent to expand. They do not have all the luxury appointments that a school like Oregon may have, but they have all the needs covered. Our admin could probably stand to learn a thing or two from them. I can't see how their donor pool would be bigger or wealthier than ours...
Carolina- It looks like UCF has a more sustainable model than USF at least facility-wise. They have done an excellent job creating a gameday atmosphere that USF can't touch renting the Bucs stadium. My nephew is a freshman at UCF and can see the scoreboard from his dorm window.
Shldr- the donor pool is young, but is starting to hit stride, plus, culturally, college football is more a priority here, and like I mentioned before, 50,000 students paying an athletics fee is a nice chunk of change too. UCF is also sitting on a chunk of land that dwarfs the current campus, so they can develop or sell parts as they need to.

I think OU is gonna get ****ing hammered tonight. I wasn't impressed with them all year. They did have a few solid wins but Bama is a different animal.
I think you are going to be right. It all depends on how Bama approaches this game. If the Tide treats it like their season is already done and doesn't show up then the Sooners could win. If Bama comes in pissed and wanting to show that they should be in the NC game then OU could be toast.
I hope I'm wrong, I'd like to see a good game. There has only been about 3 bowls I've enjoyed this year.

I would enjoy seeing any and all Big12 teams getting blown out.
If that first drive is any indication then Bama did indeed come into this game with something to prove
Well they forced a fg so that was a win for them.
