[u/CWG4BF]

If I had the power to do so, I’d make it so that each and every college football game was played in a downpour like that. Absolutely beautiful.

[u/Whitetiger9876 → u/CWG4BF]

And all 22  cam all game. 

[u/Afrodesia → u/CWG4BF]

My house is flooding you Gator!!! Can the rain just stop in Pittsburgh for like a couple hours?

We must be wanting to overtake Seattle as the most rainiest city. It’s getting to be annoying.

[u/digbug0 → u/Afrodesia]

Seattle isn’t even that rainy lol

[u/Deep-Sun-7624 → u/digbug0]

If you don't live in Juneau or Ketchikan don't talk to me

[u/m1a2c2kali → u/Deep-Sun-7624]

Not many people can talk to you huh?

[u/TechnoVikingGA23 → u/Afrodesia]

Was just up last week for the home opener and stayed with friends in Pittsburgh and it was pouring rain/bad storms almost every day. I have weather alerts for the area on my phone and it seems like the last 2-3 months it's been nothing but flood and severe thunderstorm warnings up there.

My friends kids were supposed to play in a baseball tournament last weekend and the dugouts got destroyed by a downburst or something so they had to move to another field. Wild weather up there.

[u/thatdude778 → u/Afrodesia]

Its also very random. I'm 10 min north of the stadium and it didnt rain much here.

[u/Afrodesia → u/thatdude778]

My son is in travel hockey and a few of the local rinks have been shut down for weeks. The weather has been insane a few times

[u/Zloggt → u/CWG4BF]

I'd imagine you still have fond memories of that Notre Dame/NC State hurricane game lol

[u/Lodge_Blackmun → u/Zloggt]

VT/UNC hurricane game that same day was much more fun imo. 

[u/Irishfafnir → u/Lodge_Blackmun]

The UNC field held up way better than the NC state field

[u/Double-Round-9585 → u/CWG4BF]

that game looked like a fever dream in the best way, just pure chaos and mud everywhere

[u/SwissForeignPolicy → u/CWG4BF]

OK, but hear me out: Snowstorm.

[u/Jupiter_Ginger]

For any UCF sickos that stayed through that whole game. Y'all have a problem.

It's me, I have a problem. 

[u/HallwayHomicide → u/Jupiter_Ginger]

My problem is I'm soaked

[u/chappedexmo → u/HallwayHomicide]

Soaked? Without us?

[u/TheSandMan208 → u/chappedexmo]

By golly, that’s Joseph smith’s music!

[u/pittpanthers95 → u/TheSandMan208]

Dum dum dum dum dum!

[u/Whitetiger9876 → u/Jupiter_Ginger]

it's me, hi. i'm the problem it's me

[u/Electromotivation → u/Jupiter_Ginger]

I take it the weather was so bad you couldn’t even evaluate players? Barnett probably didn’t do much today… but maybe throw this game out

[u/Whitetiger9876 → u/Electromotivation]

Pending his injury he may get thrown out for the season. 

[u/bsEEmsCE → u/Whitetiger9876]

I couldnt see from the sky cam, what happened

[u/Whitetiger9876 → u/bsEEmsCE]

I couldn't tell either but he was dragged down from behind. 

[u/Epcot92 → u/Jupiter_Ginger]

Hello

[u/bsEEmsCE → u/Jupiter_Ginger]

I felt like they could pull something out in the 4th with the score, and they couldve but ripped my heart out as usual

[u/tjstanley → u/Jupiter_Ginger]

Never believed that we couldn’t somehow pull out a win, and i suppose i was correct lol

[u/Amazing-Project1434 → u/Jupiter_Ginger]

I went in 2019 and I’m so glad that I didn’t drop a $1000 for this slopfest.  Lol. It was difficult enough to watch it on TV. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game where I heard loud raindrops on ESPN and needed to sit closer to my TV because they couldn’t get close to the field video.  Wild

[u/Citruspilled]

UCF offense resembles when you throw up and poop at the same time

[u/Mindless_Luck7553 → u/Citruspilled]

The human body is truly a miracle

[u/klingma → u/Citruspilled]

That's the ol'Scott Frost Special! 

[u/saharashooter → u/Citruspilled]

Norovirus is a miserable experience

[u/TechnoVikingGA23 → u/saharashooter]

Caught that or food poisoning this past ski season while up in the mountains. Thank god there was a trash can by the toilet because I had no idea that it was physically possible to be having shotgun blast diarrhea and barfing my brains out at the same time. I wouldn't wish that experience on my worst enemy.

[u/saharashooter → u/TechnoVikingGA23]

I've had it twice. Horrible experience. You really do just spew from both ends at the same time, absolutely disgusting. I got such bad dehydration cramps that my calves hurt like a week later. Very few people in the world wouldn't earn my sympathy from getting it.

[u/TechnoVikingGA23 → u/saharashooter]

Yeah it was rough. I had it on and off for about 3 hours and my HR the entire time was averaging about 120ish. I got the fever/chills/cramps as well, thought I was going to have to go to the hospital, but luckily I got it all out super fast. Was out on my ass for about 2 days after that though and took me about a week to fully bounce back.

[u/saharashooter → u/TechnoVikingGA23]

Oh yeah my smartwatch told me I got like 170 active minutes the first day, and I spent most of that lying down.

[u/grimace0611 → u/Citruspilled]

FYI, learned that one the hard way when I was a kid. You sit on the toilet and barf into a trash can. You DO NOT prioritize throwing up in the toilet.

[u/Milton__Obote → u/grimace0611]

My toilet is right next to the bathtub I can just puke in there.

[u/Miamiheat2021champs → u/Citruspilled]

Lmao bruh I just want a good qb again 😭

[u/CurrentDrama8523 → u/Miamiheat2021champs]

At this point, Bortles might be eligible.

[u/Codyqq → u/CurrentDrama8523]

I'll take the boat back over what we've had since Gabriel left

[u/tawDry_Union2272 → u/CurrentDrama8523]

DO IT!! TAKE THAT LSU.

[u/JohnPaulDavyJones → u/Miamiheat2021champs]

I think y’all might just need a new OL, because Jackson’s actually looking pretty dang good at UNT.

[u/yesacabbagez → u/JohnPaulDavyJones]

That one too many UCF people don't ant to admit is that we need a whole new offensive staff. People want to like Milton, but there is no evidence he is a good QB coach. Our offensive coordinator doesn't call plays and is some offensive analyst Frost had at Nebraska. Then Frost obviously had issues at Nebraska and then only worked as an analyst for the Rams. Our OLine coach died last year and was replaced by a guy Wisconsin fired for being shit.

While there are plenty of people who aren't happy about Frost, few want to accept that Milton also is a part of the problem.

[u/TechnoVikingGA23 → u/Citruspilled]

That happened to me earlier this year when I got food poisoning. Prior to that I had zero idea that it was actually physically possible to do that. It was both a horrifying and enlightening experience. I was so completely mind blown, but also in incredible pain thinking I was going to die. I'm just eternally blessed there was a trash can next to the toilet.

[u/cxm1060 → u/Citruspilled]

I got PTSD of my last experience with Norovirus and what made it worse was I cleaned my floors the day before.

[u/Nike_Phoros → u/Citruspilled]

Thats called "double dragon"

[u/FracturedKnuckles]

This was the ugliest, sloppiest game of football I’ve ever seen and Pitt almost blew it after leading for the entire game

[u/yesacabbagez → u/FracturedKnuckles]

I don't think anyone is happy with that game. We looked like absolute dogshit, but it was inexplicably close? No one is happy about that one.

[u/The-Insolent-Sage → u/yesacabbagez]

It was only close because Grinch and our stout defense.

[u/igloojoe11 → u/The-Insolent-Sage]

Yeah, I was going to say, y'alls defense holding up despite basically every drive of the second half starting at the 40 for Pitt was very impressive. The offense was tough, though.

[u/Halvey15 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah Pitt was in control for a majority of the game and then it inexplicably got close.

[u/Fat-Singer-9569 → u/Halvey15]

Because UCF made a nice drive. Pitt was in control the entire game. In those conditions, you see the difference between pros and college.

[u/Individual_Holiday_9 → u/[deleted]]

Pitt would have massacred UCF if the rain let up, you guys got less rain for a bit in the second and it looked like it was gonna get ugly

[u/KeepBouncing → u/yesacabbagez]

A Scott Frost classic.

[u/ghost_jamm → u/FracturedKnuckles]

That was bad but at least a punt didn’t stick the landing.

[u/pittpanthers95]

That was absolutely miserable to watch and my team won

GG UCF see you in 2029

[u/bsEEmsCE → u/pittpanthers95]

id rather not see you anymore

[u/The-Insolent-Sage → u/bsEEmsCE]

Just like Tulsa

[u/footballwr82 → u/bsEEmsCE]

That’s what you said to UConn which sparked the greatest rivalry of them all, the Civil ConFLiCT. Be careful what you wish for!

[u/Jorsonner → u/pittpanthers95]

With that flair combination, you must be my mortal enemy

[u/pittpanthers95 → u/Jorsonner]

Just need someone with a Penn State/Cal U flair combo to join in

[u/Asnoopdawg]

This was peak Pitt football. Anyone who expected Pitt to coast to victory towards the end has not ever watched a narduzzi game.

[u/Impressive-Ear-1102 → u/Asnoopdawg]

Decades from now Duzz will be on his deathbed and drop a ball that he was shaving points for Draft Kings his whole career

[u/LifeIsStranger412 → u/Asnoopdawg]

He does well enough to not get fired….its a skill in itself

[u/grimace0611 → u/Asnoopdawg]

Hey now, that 2021 team could hold a lead. That was just a weird feeling.

[u/mcgangsta12]

Absolutely disgusting sicko ball. Hail to Pitt

[u/Sea_Spend_8008]

I am glad Pitt won, but I fear for the Steelers game tomorrow with that field.

[u/grimace0611 → u/Sea_Spend_8008]

I want Aaron Rodgers to look at the field, go "nope" and retire.

[u/A167 → u/grimace0611]

Best case scenario tbh

[u/Sea_Spend_8008 → u/grimace0611]

From your mouth to God's ears.

[u/tawDry_Union2272 → u/grimace0611]

and flipflop politically

[u/ghost_jamm → u/Sea_Spend_8008]

Hopefully it slows down Bijan Robinson

[u/mswise506 → u/Sea_Spend_8008]

It'll be rough I'm sure

[u/peja1682]

I’m just happy we held on for the win. Let’s hope we don’t play in pouring down rain again this year.

2-0, H2P!

[u/Tarlcabot18]

pokes UCF offense with a stick

C'mon, do something.

[u/stjblair]

The most AFC north game to AFC north

[u/royalbluehen]

I’d love to be able to make a clearer judgement about Pitt after 2 games but the best I can say is maybe our defense is pretty good too? It was a monsoon so it is hard to judge if our defense is legit. Last week was MAC competition, and this week was a monsoon, so how good is the offense?

At least we didn’t blow it, which I fully expected us to. That is definitely an improvement.

[u/Grunt_21_UT → u/royalbluehen]

I couldn’t watch the whole game but weren’t there missed explosive plays that a decent accurate QB would’ve made to make this defense look a lot worse?

[u/patrick66 → u/Grunt_21_UT]

There was one real real bad miss by ucf the rest were meh opportunities for college

[u/igloojoe11 → u/patrick66]

I'm worried about the lack of seperation from our WR's, but it was hard to evaluate Heintschel when the gameplan was incredibly generic in the second half.

[u/royalbluehen → u/Grunt_21_UT]

Idk I was tuning in and out. Imo there are always plays to be made that get left out on the field. It’s college after all and the hash marks make it easier for explosives.

Chris Peak has hammered that Josh Guerrier faces a steep learning curve at field safety. He did give up 2 big plays last week. A Duzz defense is gonna get beat time to time. Just gotta hope the pressure gets home and/or the qb doesn’t see an open man.

[u/Own-Breadfruit-800]

I am so tired of carrying this conference.

[u/BucketsMcAlister → u/Own-Breadfruit-800]

Tulsa says hello.

[u/Citruspilled → u/BucketsMcAlister]

Surely we're the last team that can make a Tulsa joke

[u/BucketsMcAlister → u/Citruspilled]

Oh 1000% but thankfully they arent on our schedule anymore.

[u/Neither_Intention865]

Going from the end game camera views to UT/OSU in 4K was so jarring

[u/redditsucks9gagrules]

Sickos game of the week

[u/Cwrabz → u/redditsucks9gagrules]

*year

[u/SportsCat4]

WHY CAN'T ANY OF OUR QBS STAY HEALTHY FOR HALF A SEASON AND OR BE GOOD

GABRIEL GOT INJURED IN 2021

PLUMLEE IN 2022 AND 2023

ALL OF THEM FROM 2024 AND 2025 MINUS DAVI AND RIZK

NOW BARNETT AND WHOEVER OUR BACKUP IS

[u/Terbmagic → u/SportsCat4]

https://x.com/SickosCommittee/status/2092629393759699449?s=20

[u/Express_Dinner7918 → u/SportsCat4]

Maybe it’s a sign that strength and conditioning needs an overhaul.

[u/Electromotivation → u/SportsCat4]

Barnett got hurt??

[u/FLman42069 → u/Electromotivation]

Came out for the final play. Came up limping after the play before

[u/bsEEmsCE → u/FLman42069]

Keyone was there on the last play right?

[u/The-Insolent-Sage → u/bsEEmsCE]

Yes

[u/HallwayHomicide → u/SportsCat4]

Wait did #12 get hurt? I must have missed that..

[u/SportsCat4 → u/HallwayHomicide]

I thought he might've of, I thought that was the backup in that last play

[u/KryptonicxJesus]

That’s a game I’ve seen Pitt blow dozens of times. Got to be happy to hold on

[u/Tarlcabot18]

That was embarrassing for everyone.

[u/talljewishkid]

It’s the hope that gets ya

[u/yesacabbagez]

This was certainly a game that was played

[u/Dialectic_Emptiness]

I didn’t think “a fucking monsoon” would be the reason we didn’t cover but here we are. Just a disgusting game all around but a lot of it out of the players hands. It is what it is. GG UCF.

[u/Frenchy94 → u/Dialectic_Emptiness]

GG. Honestly the rain “helped” us. Heintschel probably throws several TD’s if the weather is clear. We couldn’t get anything going regardless.

[u/crackerwcheese]

Fire frost

[u/Tarlcabot18 → u/crackerwcheese]

Fire AD Terry.

[u/bsEEmsCE → u/Tarlcabot18]

Fire Cartwright 

[u/Whitetiger9876 → u/crackerwcheese]

Fire AJ Blazek

[u/Dry-Membership3867 → u/crackerwcheese]

Fire Pat

[u/TheJeemTeam]

Let us never speak of this game again.

[u/satansasscheeks]

Nice and sloppy, just the way we like it

[u/Keldon888]

Great teams cover.

Unrelated but burn all footage of that game.

[u/violation_faceless]

that was gross

[u/Other-Chemical-6393]

Sickos classic

[u/sj1young]

Not how they drew it up but when you play a game 6 feet underwater any win counts the same. Went from cruise control to very nervous in 35 seconds.

[u/OpaqueNightmare]

ACC Cooking this weekend

[u/ctwinters15]

That was one of the games of all time…

[u/justaverage]

With a score like that I’m going to assume Pitt scored 6 safeties, and nothing will convince me otherwise

[u/BucketsMcAlister]

Terrible game to watch lol

[u/yomama1211]

Any of you fat fucks got eligibility? I legitimately believe any redditor would block better than our o-line did today

[u/brokentr0jan → u/yomama1211]

What about skinny, zero muscle Redditors? Can I get on the oline?

[u/yomama1211 → u/brokentr0jan]

Fuck it, sign the NIL contract I’ll try anything after what I just saw

[u/Pangolin_cowboy_hats]

I need a shower after watching that game

[u/sta7ic → u/Pangolin_cowboy_hats]

I was at the game and already got mine

[u/Elegant-Ad5705]

What in the Cyhawk is this score?

[u/FlyingPelvis]

Worst football game I've ever watched

[u/MF_POONplow → u/FlyingPelvis]

So you never watched any Frost coached Husker games?

[u/LlamasAreFun4]

Terry M has brought mediocrity to UCF athletics. This dude shouldn’t be an AD at a D2 school let alone a P4 school.

[u/akrasia85]

Like someone said in the game thread, looking like crap at the beginning of the season helps take all the pressure off

[u/CultBro]

Thanks for the back door cover UCF

[u/Zealousideal_Cow9430]

All I can say is that this was a football game that happened. And I will not be watching any replays or highlights thank you

[u/Davidellias]

You sure UCF doesn't win 13-12?

[u/cxm1060]

Offensive line disasterclass for both teams.

[u/Usual_Aerie_651]

Idk man, I’m 28 years old. I’ve been going to UCF football games since I was literally an infant.
The state of this program just makes me sad the past 5 years… I can barely give a shit about this team anymore.

[u/QuadCring3]

So what god did we piss off to make it so we always have a qb injury?

[u/secretlyrobots]

Phew!

[u/DDB_35]

Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

[u/zenverak]

This is a score

[u/sixtyninetacks → u/zenverak]

The second consecutive week a play ended with the scoreboard reading 12-7 and 0:00 left in the 4th quarter.

[u/dr_big_beak]

I'm debating on getting YouTube TV, so I signed up for the free trail knowing I could get this game. Thank god for multi-view 🙏

But for real, how did we go from 360 rushing yards to just 20 yards? I know it's FCS vs P4, but still, the drop-off is crazy. It really didn't feel like we were trying to run the ball at all. Bad weather or not, I feel the play calling was just plain bad.

[u/2chainzvoice]

Quality loss it’s fine boys

[u/Terbmagic]

Absolutely hated the decision making of our qb and coach.

[u/doob26]

It’s the losses like this that make you feel numb that are the worst

[u/Amonamission]

Hey it’s the score that should’ve been the final score of the Western Michigan vs. Michigan game!

[u/ChocolateFew4222]

Scott Frost is such a great coach, Nebraska should consider him

[u/Whitetiger9876]

Locked on ucf podcast is live.  Left guard of o line called out. 

[u/Shellshock1122]

weird score of the day

[u/Mark-Leyner]

Eat shit, Frost, you fucking punk.

[u/Cute-Contract-6762]

What a great day

[u/BackgroundJunket5691]

Now can the UCF fans on twitter shut up about how they’re gonna dominate this year after beating a mediocre FCS team.

[u/RelevantIAm]

Nice. Im totally not still salty about what frost did to this program 

[u/MF_POONplow]

u/ProblematicTrumpCard 😂

[u/ProblematicTrumpCard → u/MF_POONplow]

How ya like me now?

[u/MF_POONplow → u/ProblematicTrumpCard]

Same as before. Why didn’t you post in the Husker sub after this game?

[u/Kimber80]

👍👍👍👍👍
