The problem isn't that you haven't accomplished anything. The problem is you act superior to the people who have accomplished things. There are other lower tier schools in Florida where the fans are knowledgeable and respectful and know their place in the football pecking order. You guys don't.

How old was Texas before they wont 2 consecutive bowl games? Well it happened in 1948/49….at the ripe old age of 57 (give or take).  Even if we take out 3 years for WW2 and 2 years for WWI, it still took 52 years before the Mighty Longhorns of Texas could win back to back bowl games.

We might be 8 years old, but we did that same feat in 4 years of eligibility(I think).

So before you come spouting about how other teams in Florida know their place, rest assured that we know ours, in the History books.

I think achieving a #4 1AA national ranking in our 3rd year of existence and making it to the 1AA semifinals is accomplishing something. I think youngest team to defeat a 1A program is an accomlishment. I think holding the record as youngest program to get invited to a bowl game and win is another accomplishment. I think getting invited to a second consecutive bowl game and winning against a good MAC team is an accomplishment.  All that in just 8 short years.  Besides that, in our first year competing, we only had two recruiting classes. Everyone was a freshman or RS freshman. We've been 1A for 3 years and had a winning record in two of them. I think thats an accomplishment.

This is our board. Our discussions.

"know their place in the football pecking order" give me a break  :P  I didn't know there were rules of ass kissing to follow when having fun on a blog board.
