We had a long, enjoyable run, and I would like to thank every Orlando Magic fan who contributed to our small community on the web. This message board will be left online as an archive into the thoughts and minds of a group of Magic fanatics who lived through a 21-win season, the drafting of Dwight Howard, and an eventual NBA Finals appearance.

Houston has one of the best offenses in the nation, so not shocking there. 51-31 looks bad, but we were leading at halftime and tied 31-31 in the 3rd quarter and it went downhill from there. It's frustrating as hell when you can't get the breaks we had last year.

Ratings like that don't mean much. I can guarantee you that there offense isn't as good as many many many other teams out there. However, their stats are bloated because of their schedule (Rice, Tulane, Grambling, OK State, UM, Lousiana Lafayette, Southern Miss, Texas El-Paso, UCF, etc). If you don't play good defenses, of course their offense will be rated highly. Regardless, that had to be very frustrating to watch. I thought UCF was going to have at least a .500 season, but now it's not looking too likely. Oh well, theres always next year! |

USF just popped West Virginia one in their home stadium. Taking down the #7 team in the country, with ease :D. What a day for USF football. This is the second straight year they have knocked off a top 10 team. And, I think, UCF won

Dwight Howard = MVP
|
Yea that was crazy. I know they had an alright team but didnt expect them to win against West Virginia. Nice win. But they definitely didnt do it with ease, they barely won

I wouldn't say we "barely won." We went up 7-6 and never gave them the lead back. We were up by two scores late in the game before giving up one big play and letting it get back to a single score game. Then when they got the ball back, we shut them down and picked them off. We set all their lows for yards in a game, held them to half of their rushing average for the year, completely shut down the #2 running back in the country, sacked their quarterback 5 times (he had only been sacked 8 times all season), forced several turnovers, and then we passed on them and ran on them and dominated time of possession. We broke their streak of home wins, and home games of 40 points or more. USF smacked them around. Just like they did to Louisville (ranked #9 at the time) last year. It's just a shame we lost to Rutgers on a dropped two point conversion or we'f be a ranked team right now.USF has recieved votes in the AP poll and Harris poll as a top 25 team

...And, I feel compelled to add, USF Defensive End George Selvie won National Defensive Player of the week awards (8 tackles, 3.5 for loss, 1 sack, 1 fumble recovery, 1 touchdown). Matt Grothe, QB for USF (and 12th in the nation in overall offense) was named one of College Gameday's "Players of the week" and won an honorary helmet sticker in the Gameday studio. The touchdown pass from Grothe to Ean Randolph is one of four finalists for the Pontiac game changing performance of the week. You can vote for it here: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/contests/pontiac/index You can say the Bulls are an "alright" team as much as you want, but you can't ignore the fact that USF is just a step or two away (or a running back away) from being a very good team in college football. |

Good way to end the year for UCF. New stadium is going to be fun next year. Hopefully it won't be wasted as we need a great turnaround. |

USF got 8 votes in the final AP poll. Not bad for a ten year old program, huh? They play in the Birmingham Bowl on Dec 23. |

you guys realize that UCF BBall has the #2 seed in their conference touney which starts tomorrow (I know Adamos knows) If Memphis somehow gets upset, we have a chance to go dancing for the 3rd time in 5 years. And to think, Coach Speraw still doesnt have a long term deal. |

To be honest, I don't really follow UCF basketball... But I hear they have a decent team. Who, of note, have they beaten this year? |

A little more USF news, for those who are interested.
That's right, the most accurate college football analyst out there is predicting USF to be a top 5 team next year. It should be a lot of fun... I hope you UCF guys come down to USF for the UCF-USF game. By the way, there's only two more years (including this coming season) of this "rivalry" left before USF no longer has to participate in games against C-USA opponents. It's a shame, because playing at UCF is one more game us Bulls get to go to. Oh well, when our Thanksgiving rivalry with Miami starts, we'll just have to caravan down there! |
