Well, we couldn't just drive over to Orlando and shut off all their computers, could we? After the news broke about Villanova's decision being delayed by the Big East, it didn't take long (if you don't consider two days to write a blog "long") for pro-UCF bloggers to start getting all fidgety while they wait for an invitation that isn't coming. It's sad, really. It sort of makes you think of that kid at the homecoming dance by himself, and the cheerleader comes up looking like she's about to ask him to dance, and then takes the hand of a much better looking guy.
One pro-Knight blogger, Mike
Bianchi, wrote a big-boy column all by himself! So congratulations to him, the sky is the limit.
Here's the link to it, and feel free to post comments on the page. As a
USF fan, it's obvious that I find it hard to be unbiased with something so close to home, but realistically, it just isn't the right fit for this league.
Bianchi even had the nerve to play the "Top 25" card. A team that won a sub-par non-
AQ conference and beat one of the worst
BCS teams in the country for its first ever bowl win and second win over a
BCS team in over ten years isn't exactly fit to move up to a
BCS conference. I can think of at least thirty teams in the country who were better last season. The double-digit wins are a hallmark of a below-average schedule. Let's not forget, also, that they had a 17-game losing streak six years ago, only to win over Marshall, who finished 4-7.
It's still only a matter of time until Nova actually does get the green light to make their jump. But until then, we're going to have to sit and listen to these posts asking for an invitation. So please, Villanova, if not for yourselves, do it for us, the fans who are tired of hearing other schools think they deserve a shot at our conference.
