Franklin MintI'm surprised they didn't have someone make them a reproduction cylinder trophy.
Want to play the big boys? Join a big boy conference. I don’t recall them lobbying to join the ACC or SECI visit a national fan board occasionally and the general consensus was that UCF should have been in the playoff instead of Bama. Why, you may ask? Because Alabama is afraid to play them. Yes. UCF wants to play the big boys but just like Boise we are afraid to play them. I know, myself, that I am scared to death of UCF.
That is hilarious. Most of these idiots don’t realize Alabama makes their schedule years in advance. Right around the time Alabama would be making their 2017 schedule, UCF was 0-12. Yep they nailed it, Alabama was afraid scheduling an 0-12 team would hurt their SOS.I visit a national fan board occasionally and the general consensus was that UCF should have been in the playoff instead of Bama.

They ripped off the Lombardi trophy instead:I'm surprised they didn't have someone make them a reproduction cylinder trophy.
Is that 24 karat plastic?They ripped off the Lombardi trophy instead:
:biggrin:
They, along with several other schools, tried to get into the Big 12. Since they only have 10 schools, they needed at least two more to have a playoff. Then the NCAA folded on this long standing rule and let the Big 12 have a playoff with only 10 schools. So, schools like UCF, South Florida, Houston, etc. were told "thanks, but no thanks."Want to play the big boys? Join a big boy conference. I don’t recall them lobbying to join the ACC or SEC

The fact their "National Championship" trophy has their logo and mascot on it is even funnier. But, I guess in their defense, they don't know how this Chanpionship thing works.They ripped off the Lombardi trophy instead:
:biggrin:
Best part about that? A FedEx rep took the tweet seriously and is actually trying to help track down their "trophy" .
But perpetuating the national-title narrative is UCF's prerogative, just as it's ours to poke a little harmless fun at it.In that spirit, here are a few rumblings we've heard regarding the Knights' celebration festivities:
1) The route for today's parade begins in the Magic Kingdom — at Fantasyland.
2) We've firmed up the details of the Knights' visit to the White House. They'll be honored by President Al Gore in a Rose Garden ceremony next spring.
3) In lieu of crystal, the Knights' national title trophy will be plated in pure cubic zirconium.
4) During Monday's celebration, Knights athletic director Danny White will retroactively present QB McKenzie Milton a personalized Heisman Trophy and OLB Shaquem Griffin a personalized Butkus Award.
5) Fab Morvan, the only surviving member of Grammy Award-winning duo Milli Vanilli, will perform at the Knights' national title celebration Monday.
6) Tommy Tuberville, who coached 2004 unbeaten national champion Auburn, will serve as the parade's grand marshal along with Tommy Bowden, who coached 1998 unbeaten national champ Tulane.
7) To commemorate the national title season, the Star Spangled Banner at UCF's 2018 home opener will be performed by The Pretenders.
8) Pre-production has begun on an alt-reality series featuring the Knights.
9) The renderings for UCF's lazy river, part of a multi-million-dollar upgrade to the school's athletics facilities, are being re-drafted to honor the Knights' national championship football team. The attraction now will include a floating smoothie bar called Fantasy Island.
10) George O'Leary quietly contemplates adding "Coach, 2017 national championship team" to his resume.
Is that the same trophy they received when they beat Memphis for the AAC championship and they just stuck a National Championship plate on it?They ripped off the Lombardi trophy instead:
:biggrin:
Still can't believe a group of fans on reddit raised money for that stupid thing.They ripped off the Lombardi trophy instead:
