  1. That overrated chant scared the life out of me because that's when FAU went on their run. I'm so glad this isn't a typical USF story.
  2. It's difficult to establish anything that is "tradition" when the program itself is so young. I know things had changed a lot from before I marched, to when I marched. As I'm sure a lot has changed since left. (06-08 marching, 08-10 helping). They try to hold on to some things some alumni still feel like they left a legacy behind.
  3. My follow up question is, are the pundits right in regards to them/ eventually us, being big fish in a little pond? When they say beating/facing a top 25 opponent once a season is the only reason we can/do show fight and the ability to win when we do? Is the 'who we play" in other conferences doomed to make us a Vanderbilt of our future conference?
  4. I cut my USF football teeth starting in the 2006 range. I've always been of the belief that the only substantive difference between the 'haves' and the 'have-nots,' was history and money. I honestly thought that if given the chance, we could go toe to toe with anyone (when we were consistently good). Our former football conference mates are making me rethink that. Those who shall not be named 6-6 Cincinnati- 3-9 Houston 4-8 What happened to them?!?! I thought they were all solid programs that would transition just fine. Did they all lose a lot of talent or is this the future we all pine for...? To be fair I did look up... Rutgers 1 winning season out of 9 Louisville 6 winning seasons out of 9 I didn't include Pittsburgh or Syracuse because they never made it to the AAC.
  5. I don't know about you guys, but I have a feeling we can win this game and finally go bowling again. Go Bulls! (Laughs maniacally and hides back in the shadows of the internet)
  6. The same things that are fantastic when we win, are seen as dreadful, when we lose. Correct me if I'm wrong, but he's never been much of a talker. We simply weren't prepared (and still put up 30+ points). We won't take FAU for granted I'm sure. Next game.
  7. If every game looked like this, sure. It hasn't. They are light years away from where they were last year. This is a lesson learned hopefully. Next game .
  8. Maybe it has to absorb a certain amount of cursed energy before it can reflect it back at our opponents. (Checks game rules for accuracy)
  9. I believe the jersey sales, commercials, brand recognition, sold out games, etc. are way more than just hype. I don't know why some of you have such a hard time with Dion's personality. He's thanking God every other sentence. He's allowed to be confident, he's earned it. Just because he's not soft spoken and kissing the rings of the football elite as he tiptoes around acting like being the coach of a D1 program is his dream come true, doesn't mean he's not a good coach. I'm REALLY trying to understand where the hate comes from. I have an idea, but I'm really trying to give some of you the benefit of the doubt. He's not Lovey or Dungie, but he's no Terrell Owens either (assuming y'all felt the same way about him) y. He chose not to come here, it hurt me too, but I don't hate him for it. All we had on our schedule to prove his team was as good as advertised was Alabama. When he really wins at Colorado in the next year or two, there is no "he's just out talenting weaker opponents." Which I'm sure people can and will say if we end up with a really good win loss record (assuming anyone in their right mind wanted to defend FCJS). If/ when we win the conference without going through those pee colored people to our south, people can and will have the same counter argument. Coach Prime needed a place with equal footing, immediately, to shut up the critics. He can't simply buy talent and win at Colorado. He needs depth, great coaching, and talent to even begin to be successful. One can argue he's already turned the football world upside down even at 3-2 so far. Simply by not being 0-5 with a team that was 1-11 last year, and knocking off a ranked opponent and being competitive with another (definitely not Oregon). None of that points to a guy who can't coach. If money could do it, there's no way FSU, LSU, Alabama, Texas, Florida, etc. would ever not have a winning season. They throw money at EVERYTHING in their football world and obviously don't always experience success. Just admit that y'all are angry for whatever reason and not looking at this objectively. Coach Prime really can coach and we didn't land him. That doesn't take anything away from Coach Golesh. I hope he is the guy who will be everything that I wanted CWT to be.
  10. I'm willing to allow Coach Golesh to compete with my memories of FCWT. He officially has my attention (already had my cautious support).
  11. No one truly expected them to be competing for the conference in season 1. They were 1-11 last year and are already competing with and beating ranked opponents. They were an onside kick away from completing the comeback today. You can dislike his personality, y'all don't seem to like slick talking quick witted coaches. That's fine, but all of the talent in the world doesn't make it gel. Talent doesn't game plan and make adjustments. Jeff Scott is a perfect example, Golesh is taking less than what Jeff Scott had and is doing more... Bad coaching costs games and good coaching gives you a chance when you shouldn't have one. Golesh and Prime are both solid. That's all I'm saying.
  12. I'm referencing Coach Prime, not Jeff Scott. All I'm saying is Colorado isn't losing due to coaching. They are outperforming, and everyone has access to the same system. Can't fault him for players wanting to play for him. We can all do well.
  13. I like winning just as much as the next Bulls fan but I wouldn't say all of that. They are both turning around losing programs. One has an easier schedule and the luxury of little to no expectations. The other has people celebrating a team that won one game last year, barely losing, to established ranked opponents.
