There was quite a few that were posting that we
"we don't deserve better" and "remember how bad we sucked", insinuating that we get what we get, and we deserve what we get. That's not necessarily you, but it's a caricature of a certain mindset expressed by more than a few PonyFans.

What do you think the share of people is on PonyFans that has that mindset? I would guess less than 5%.

I haven't seen "we don't deserve better" anywhere on here. I sure hope I never gave that impression. I want to build a national powerhouse.

We do need to remember from whence we came. In the 20 years after the DP, we sucked as much as any team has ever sucked. Dreadful suckage. Historic suckage.

Of course the second paragraph required giving June Jones some credit.

For comparison, my quick calc from 2009 to 2013 UCF is 13-28 against winning records

It's a small data point to show that statistics can be very misleading. Reality is much more complicated than it might first appear. BTW, UCF is in the top 30 in terms of games won over that period.

Yeah, you'd think with all those BCS offers that UCF would have done better against teams with winning records.

yes, boycotting SMU would be the best way to support the team and our players...

Get over it.
