UCF Potpurri

Yeah, we said "potpurri." Shut up.

1. Today, ESPN notes the premature death of the UCF-USF rivalry. Have no fear, ESPN. It's merely cryogenically frozen. It will be revived some day when, God willing, the Knights have an offense.

Erm. And a defense.

Some choice quotes:
South Florida players took exception to some comments made by Central Florida before last year's game, including UCF coach George O'Leary asking about the Bulls, "What league are they in -- the Big East?"

After last year's blowout win, Bulls quarterback Matt Grothe said, "I hope they like what happened because we weren't trying to run the score up on them. We're that much better than them."

2. Oh, by the way, the USF defense looks amazing. Against the Knight's flailing offense, they'll have us suffocated like . . . a thing that gets suffocated. Profoundly and severely.

See? Who says we don't give credit where credit is due?

3. And someone named Daunte Culpepper retired from the NFL after spending a number of years puttering about, being generally useless.
