Phew!! I just got home from the game! What a game! It was great to be there and see all those Rocket fans!!!
UT just absolutely dominated the second half. The O-line just flat wore UCF out. We had two 100 yard rushers!!! We're like Virginia Tech except we can throw!! LOL
I didn't like the way the game began, with UT turning over the ball inside the opponents 30. That reminded me way too much of the Pitt game. I thought, great, here we go again. The second half started off with a dead drive too..and I thought...this sux!
Then....finally....UT ran the ball....and ran it well. Astin Martin looked great....man is he quick!!
I hope the UCF fans read this part. I sat next to the student section and let me tell you, I've been to a lot of away games and I've never been treated like that! I swear that every student there was an absolute jerk! I went into this game with respect for UCF and I'm leaving it with a little bit of spite. I wish we would have beat them by 50. I don't mind a little bit of back and forth and stuff, but UT took the lead and 3 or 4 fans just yelled at me F*CK You and shot the bird???? There were old people and kids around me! :eek: The Citrus Bowl is not on campus...so they sell beer.....well....that student section took advantage of that!!!
After the game....several UCF fans said nice game...good luck etc, but as I was walking over to the Visitor/UT section, I had to walk between a crowd....and a UCF student tried to take....aka steal....my handsfree unit for my cell phone. He snatched it right off my Chester Taylor jersey. Fortunately, I heard the snap of the clip when it was ripped off. I thought it was an accident at first until I saw him winding it up in his hand. I turned around and looked at him, and he instantly gave it back. I then heard him say "I almost got it, better luck next time!" The students section had no clue about football, they seemed to forget that there was even a game going on. Once UT took the lead, the students then went after the UT bench. The best part was UT's #15 Reese was giving it right back at them!!
Oh...at the end of the first half with UCF leading 10-0 a UCF/student said "Welcome to the MAC". Well....to that student and the rest of the low class fans I ran into.............Thank You very much and nice game...but there is a reason we are the defending MAC champs. You gave us no respect, and gave me no respect,
but we proved tonight that we deserve respect.
Oh, and I had fun celebrating our victory on your field. :wave:
