What another delightful day of college football!
USF was coming off quite the high beating Florida in the Swamp, and boy were their fans extra noisy. Guess they didn’t know all these Fun Facts about the University of South Florida (all of which remain true to this day, including the fact that they’ve had ZERO players drafted since 2018).
Miami Fans, we now pardon this interruption to Florida Week to serve a steaming portion of humble pie!
Back by popular demand – TIME TO SHARE THE RECEIPTS!!
Another Fun Fact: USF kept true to the analogy by vomiting all over themselves and getting thrown out of the polls, much like those freshmen.
Oh, so USF fans’ have their own fun “facts.” Here’s an idea – CLETUS – open a map and find Miami-Dade County. And then after you’ve located UM’s Coral Gables campus, within Miami-Dade County, find what city the Miller School of Medicine is located? You know, the number one medical school for NIH research in the state – well ahead of USF’s cute little medical school.
First of all, 95% of the USF fans could not get into the University of Miami. USF has a 41% acceptance rate compared to 19% for Miami. Second, this post’s collection of receipts doesn’t even cover the USF fan bases’ delusion that they think USF is in line for a Big Ten invite. If your fan base is 95% alumni, that’s not the sort of following that generates strong TV and streaming ratings. Miami, a national brand, is much better positioned for the next round of conference realignment. But feel free to have the ACC seat Miami will eventually vacate – it will feel as familiar as when USF replaced Miami in the Big East.
Calm down and un-clutch those pearls. Sure, some Miami fans can be a little…curt…but it’s not like USF fans are all angels.
Ok, ok – we’re getting side tracked comparing fan bases and school prestige. Got to stay focused on football. Plenty of USF fans were predicting a win last weekend. What was the logic?
I see. You know, a secret inaccurate process based on secret inaccurate logic is a pre-requisite to getting a vote in the AP Poll – quick, send a ballot!
Oh a curse! That’s what will trip up the Hurricanes, a curse!!
Perhaps further X-verse digging will reveal an ounce of logic.
It did not.
NFL stacked defense?!?! Scroll up again to the part about USF not having anyone drafted since 2018. Last year they had seventeen USF players participate in pro-day and not a single one got drafted. Here’s not one, but two, sites that say nobody on USF is expected to be drafted next year either. Are those reputable sites? I don’t know, that’s not the point! The point is that USF is literally the worst FBS program at developing talent. Teams like Alabama A&M, William & Mary, and Sacramento State (go Hornets!) had at least one player drafted last year! But for the seventh year in a row, nobody from USF was drafted.
And of course…Miami’s offense handled the USF defense without a problem. Just like Miami’s defense handled the USF offense.
Hands down MY FAVORITE post from this past week. This message manages to masterfully weave DJ “Five Interception” Lagway with the fact that Miami’s Beck outrushed USF’s Brown 26yds to 2yds, all tied together in a delightful bow of delusion. Is it my birthday and nobody told me?
OK, trying to predict a USF win – by logic, curse, or hunch – was an impossible task. What else you got USF nation?
I guess if USF fans cannot justify that USF is better than Miami then they’ll resort to arguing that Miami is worse than other schools. That will make them feel better. Why is Miami worse? Apparently because Miami plays in an NFL stadium (that unlike USF, will actually have fans in the upper bowl on gameday) and Miami has lately had a poor record in the end of season scrimmages called bowl games. We’re to believe that Florida winning the 2024 Gasparilla Bowl and FSU winning the 2022 Cheez-It Bowl is what makes those programs “blue bloods.” If only Cam Ward risked injury and played the second half of the Pop Tarts bowl then Miami could finally be considered a blue blood.
What is this obsession with mid-tier bowl games?!?! USF’s ‘best’ bowl game appearance was the Sun Bowl in 2007, the year they beat overrated Auburn and West Virginia teams, fraudulently rose to No. 2 in the AP Poll, only to lose three straight games to unranked teams and cap the season with a 56-21 drubbing by No. 23 Oregon.
Winning a mid-tier bowl game is on par with upsetting an unranked Florida Gators team – it’s not like anyone would memorialize that in the College Football Hall of Fame…
You’ve got to be kidding!!! What riveting exhibit did this this replace – Jimmy Johnson’s Hawaiian shirt collection? Rejected replacements for the turnover chain?? This screams “The USF Bulls: Kings of the Kiddie Table!”
Yeah, that’s a little more USF’s speed.
