I find this UCF shit comical.

 

[TUSKtimes]

Makes you wonder if the UCF bunch has got their Whitehouse invitation yet?

 

[50+yeartidefan]

That’s some tacky shit right there....when now the AD is screaming "National Champs "
And Byrne should have said.....”show us the trophy...we would be glad to show you ours"

Good lord can Bama please just pay off Citadel and whoever UCF's opponent is that week a milli to cancel and lets do this game next year?

Just how do you suppose Bama pay off UCF's conference opponent?

Fine, Sept. 8:
Alabama vs. Ark State
UCF vs. So Carolina State

Pretty sure you understood where I was going with that, though.

My opinion, bad look for Byrne...it's like the POTUS having a meeting with North Korea. You make them relevant.

You honestly think UCF will choose to drop a FCS team off their schedule and replace them with a P5 school all the while giving up a home game?

Gotta go with what the players think here, don't we?

Nope, I can't speak for the players. He should have left it alone.

Where does Byrne go with this now... Poor decision...but hell, he had a few of those at Arizona

 

[Sid Youngleman]

If Byrne's next tweet refers to White as "Little Danny," we may have a better understanding of the situation.

I would have said it was probably more annoying to Bama fans when this self-declaration began. With Herbie and our AD jumping on the Twitter bandwagon to have a say, it's evident that it's getting dangerously close to national overkill. I mean, how many times can you tell the same joke to the same audience?

Of course not. Make the offer and shut them up, though.

 

[OldPlayer]

Don't make the offer if you can't back it up. Even in the astronomically unlikely event everybody said yes, it wouldn't be the same two teams.

Byrne is just having fun. Why does everyone take everything on Twitter as gospel?

We'll see differently on this one. Personally, it's a waste of time in my eyes to get into a debate with some other fan about UCF. However, when I see players (like DH) coming out publicly "having Byrne's back" on this little spat? They are the ones who earned last years title and if they are appreciating Byrne's support, and we support the players...IF they're good with it, perhaps we should be as well.

BTW, I've seen a few blame Byrne for the buyout with Miller since he was AD when his contract extension was signed. I've not seen anyone, anywhere, linking Byrne with that buyout/contract in its original form outlining the buyout. Have you?

I would have said it was probably more annoying to Bama fans when this self-declaration began.

We'll never know the answer as to which degree one group was more annoyed than the other. Since this started I've wondered how much disrespect they've--the players--felt with this whole fiasco.

For decades I've entertained the thought of "how would the players react" if some of these people who scoff at the titles from the 20's and 30's were to do so in person, in the face, of one of those players on those teams. Yeah, I know it's not going to happen. Hell, I don't even know if any of the guys from the '30's are still alive.

----

And for clarity's sake, here's my stance on this whole argument.

I really don't care how fans of another school claim titles. If they want to laugh at some Bama claims, so be it. All I really care about in these conversations is the answer to this question:

How do you wish to count the titles? All time claimed? AP? BCS? Playoff? Make your choice and get back to me with who has more.

Hell, I saw a UCF fan yesterday insinuate nothing should be counted before the BCS system was in place. A few years ago I mentioned I suspected we'd see the AP titles devalued as time goes on and we're seeing it sooner than later.

 

[planomateo]

In most cases, I'd find this funny, but don't like Bama's AD being so trivial. Let UCF continue on with this nonsense, no reason in Bama's AD getting engaged in this nonsense.

Reading post on facebook saying we should settle this on the field...what exactly are we settling??
