  1. McLane stadium seats 45K, designed by same Populous and cost $266 million.....maybe $350 million in today's $. Populous with 10K less seating couldn't come up with something similar for $320 million? Instead, we have an FIU, FAU, UCF and any highschool in Tampa skeletal steel support structure going in. Kelly assured it won't bounce like UCF because it will have preformed concrete seating base (like FSU) but it sure will look like it as you walk up, around and under it. Next they will be telling us we got a great deal on green chainlink fencing and we are going full-UCF on the inside with it. So it will feel like FSU's Doak as you are sitting but anywhere else it will look like FAU, FIU, UCF. I thought we waited to do it right and learn from their stadiums and not do the quick and dirty?

  2. Do we know any fans or alumni that were invited to be part of the design review? When Populous said "OK, when you walk up to your stadium, it is going to look just like FAU, FIU and UCF's stadiums." And you reply, Oh is that because we have a 180 million budget. They reply, "Nope, your green and gold erector set will be over 300 million." During the Boca Bowl, did our higher-ups get limoed straight to the suite elevator and not have a chance to witness how bad these minimalist steel support stadiums look. It is the same design that every high school football stadium in the state of Florida has had for the last 30 years. Might as well just make it 25k seating and do it right from the start.
  3. 16, 17, 18, 21 and 22 all lost this week...we win on Saturday, should go up 2 spots
  4. SMU will take the 4th seed and Memphis goes to 5th seed after losing to FAU. This likely is best scenario as they would have to play the day before and we should be able to wear them down in semifinal.
  5. #16 Bama blowout to Florida last night should be in play with their terrible record. Two of the ranked teams they beat earlier in season have beaten them since. Beat Tulsa and we should go ahead of: 21 SDSU 20 BYU if they lose to Iowa State 22 Utah State if they lose to SJSU Likely not to move ahead but should 16 Bama lost bad to UF 17 South Carolina lost to Tennessee
  6. The confetti blowers last night were not good, they were not great, they were elite!
  7. Wouldn't the #1 seed get the first game, more rest for the next game advantage?
  8. Just landed 9 mins late at 9:51....probably arrive at YC by 10:30 for those going.
  9. Think this is their flight..they land at TIA at 9:43....not at YC at that time. Athletics may have wanted an early crowd.
  10. Apparently the band is going to be there to welcome them, too. https://x.com/sunsetAMIR/status/1764093346350256361?t=Q0hbbuGQ9fGicI92_AuG8g&s=09
  11. Athletics is saying team arrives at YC gate B at 9:45 and to welcome team. I would go if lived in area. Anybody going...add pictures?
  12. Crappy espn showed highlights of all ranked games today except for ours at halftime of Duke game. We'll likely be the only Florida basketball team to be ranked after UF loss today.
  13. Alpha hall(now called Kosove for some reason) also coming down. 2 years in Alpha and 1 Summer in Beta(roach hotel). We discovered the Cold War bomb shelter tunnel that went to Crescent Hill from under Alpha our Freshman year 86/87. There were still water ration cans that some folks brought out and were dared to drink. Good times.
  14. USF Football Announces 2024 Schedule - USF Athletics GOUSFBULLS.COM Bulls open American Athletic Conference play on the road at Tulane on Sept. 28.
