I'm pushing to convince College Gameday to have their program here at UCF week 3 for the Texas game and I've already e-mailed Corso about doing his all to shift the thoughts of covering UF-Tennessee, Arkansas-Alabama, Louisville-Kentucky, Notre-Dame-Michigan, or USC-Nebraska.

I would be very grateful if UCF fans, Longhorn fans, or anyone in favor of UCF beginning a historical day having its fans going crazy at its FIRST EVER COLLEGE GAMEDAY!

Here's where you can message Corso: http://espn.go.com/ncf/s/corso/mail.html

I also promote you guys to e-mail ESPN, Gameday, Fowler, and Herbstreit.

So the the ESPN link isn't current, and now I need Corso or at least Gameday's weekend.

Also have a Facebook group just created (for those who have a Facebook and would like to join that way):

Thank you again for any support. :)

Adamos, although I would love to see this, there is no way that espn will let them pass up those other games to come to a mid-major campus. I dont care how many ties Corso has to Orlando.

I wish I could get into that lotto. Guess I gotta check ebay or stubhub and pay out my a**, but I am going, I'd sell my house to make this game.

I hope y'all were watching USF beat Auburn saturday night. I was there and it was an incredible game. We should have beaten them by a bigger margin (4 missed field goals), but I'm not complaining. My friends and I were shown on ESPN during the game 5 times, and once on Sportscenter the following morning!

For USF, this weekend is our bye week (so I'll be pulling for upsets of top 25 teams...and go UCF). The following week USF plays on national TV (ESPN or ESPN2) again against UNC. The week after, West Virginia comes to Tampa. Again, this game is national on ESPN2. We beat them last year in Morgantown and we are ready to do it again.

For this weekend though, go Knights!

You can't start saying stuff like that until you start playing better...

In the first quarter, Texas went for it on 4th down and the clock ran out but the refs didn't call it. Texas ended up kicking a field goal.

UCF loses by 3, 35-32.

Was tailgating from 10 a.m. and I just got home at 9:30 p.m.
First off, it was fun ripping into every Longhorn fan that walked by our tent.

The crowd was spectacular all day and night and we still applauded our team like crazy when that final whistle blew and as we were walking out of the stadium.
For $54 million, that stadium is BALLIN'. Got some nice videos and pics.

High point of the game was going up 24-23.

Stadium gates opened at 2 p.m. (game was at 3:30) and I was in line from 1:30 and didn't get in to the stadium until 2:40. Saw a ton of people dehydrating.

Then the game delayed off a bull sh*t lightning delay (lighting didn't come until an hour later but the game continued). EVERYONE was relieved for the monsoon-like rains.
Voice still is recovering from the cheering.

As for the game itself, KEVIN SMITH IS THE MAN, dude could go for the Heisman next year if he stays healthy and out of trouble this season.
Joe Burnett may have been beaten on Texas' last TD, but he was spectacular as he normally is when healthy.

Kyle Israel, even with the turnovers, played his best game ever (not saying much about his accomplishments/talents).

Challenges overall were well decided, refs kind of screwed us in the 4th quarter a few times (but it's Texas and I know they'll be favored on many calls).

Next week we need to dismantle Memphis.

I fully recommend coming to see one of our games if you have any borderline interest for some college atmosphere.

I'm sure I missed some details, but today was a historic day that almost was the greatest upset in UCF history, but we started new traditions for decades to come and I'm fortunate and appreciative to have attended today's event.

I would appreciate it if you include the "(23)" in front of USF. Yes, we're ranked, and UCF fans can continue to say they will beat us, like they say every year, but I expect the usual results.

It was a good game out of UCF on Saturday... caught a lot of big breaks, but couldn't capitalize on many of them. Texas had lots of unfortunate fumbles (i.e. on the 1 yard line). It would have been fun to have seen Texas fall, and thus, USF move up to #22.

I can't wait until the UCF-USF game. Good luck little Knights, you will need it.
