Another Moral Victory For UCF

Well, the game is still going and it's 42-21 Virginia Tech. But the score belies how close the game really has been.

UCF has once again aquitted themselves pretty well against the top competition in the country. They were supposed to have been blown out, but early in the 4th quarter they were only down by 7, 28-21.

They have also played Beamerball better than Va. Tech today, blocking a field goal and nailing some incredible punts.

They played an excellent game and even in defeat, they can walk away with their heads held high.

If UCF played a cake schedule like a lot of other teams, they would be 9-2 or 8-3 most years. But instead, they've elected to play the big boys and they've shown that they can hold their own. They just got to get past the slow starts that always seem to put them in the hole to start.

As an aside, I saw the new Big East commercial at halftime. It had all these little kids and a caption showing a future career and their future school. I thought is was interesting that the University of Miami wasn't mentioned.

Glad to see there are no hard feelings from the Big East.

UPDATE: Final score was 49-28. But it was still closer than it sounds. Really not too bad for a team that was supposed to get blown out without scoring. I'm just going to hate the news tonight with all the local sportscasters whining about what could have been. UCF played a great game and they lost. It's ok.
