Does UCF game matter any more?

Postby Sam I Am » Tue Nov 13, 2007 10:08 am

When coaching changes over shadow the games, then something is missing in football. In our case, the something that is missing is winning. Nevertheless, we do play UCF on Saturday and maybe be we ought to care more about whether we have any chance of finishing a game ahead for a change, instead of blowing it at the end as usual. This is Orsini's rematch, folks. That counts for something. Pony up!

It seems something to the team. Play for each other.

Go Mustangs. Beat the Golden Knights or the Pewter Knaves!

It should matter. For the Sr, they have 2 games left in their football careers. After Memphis, football is over for them. For the underclassmen, they are going to be evaluated by a new staff. It is a mini recruitment all over again. The underclassmen have to convince the new coaching staff that they can play football. IF they don't, then their playing days are closing as well. All nee to play as hard as they can and work to be winners. A new staff is coming and the world could change dramatically for those that don't play hard and prove they are football players.

Will we win? Probably not. Will everyone play their heart out? They should.

Does the game matter ? Yes...Will we win ? Likely not...any reason to go to the game ? Beautiful day, B'vard, and the possibility that UCF turns the ball over 6 times, runs the swinging gate, doesn't maintain clock discipline....and maybe, just maybe...awww...

come because you made a choice years ago...

YES this game matters...if the new coach is watching, it will show him how much our players really care about football.

The focus is on the right thing

Good to know that the game still matters to some people. The distractions have detracted from the game unfortunately. Play ball.

BTW, has all of this turmoil spoiled our chances to get the Butkus clone from Chicago?
