  1. This is UCF's QB coach.....for real....no photoshop....right from UCFSports. Just saying
  2. While they might not have Bulls gear the day you went, that is not always the case. I have flown out of tampa several times this year, and in years past, and they have had USF apparel. Just saying.
  3. Anyone know if they are going to sell signed bowl tickets like did in the past...... I know it has been awhile does anyone remember these?
  4. The other six people going with me are the "Joe Donuts". People that had no interest prior to this year.
  5. I disagree. I was a season ticket holder until two years ago when I just got fed up with Holtz and company.......and had my second child and couldnt afford baby sitters. While I missed going to the games, I didnt miss it enough to buy season tickets last year. This year is different, I am finally seeing a real team on the field and am excited for the future. What does this have to do with the thread? Well, I just bought ten seats to this game. While I could be put in the "season ticket holder" group the poster is referring to above, that would still only cover four seats ( my family ).... there are six more people going to this game than would normally go. So I think the interest is growing. Also, as I mentioned above, I dropped my season tickets two years ago and so did two other groups I know that had season tickets. I had discussions with people from this group recently and all of them are considering season tickets again next year, myself included. I may get some heat from being a fair weather fan.....and I deserve that, but I just wanted the community to know that the fans are coming back and I think we are really starting to see some good progress..
  6. Problem: We obviously cant recruit offensive players and our line sucks. Solution: Triple option. With QF and Mack this system would win games....why not switch? Also, you don't have to recruit great players the scheme itself will work with marginal talent just ask navy.
  7. I would definitely take the trolly. It hits most tourist stops and the driver provides interesting commentary throughout the ride. I would check out both forts, the lightner museum, The pirate museum, and Flagler college.
  8. Some of the comments on this board about how the team is doing this year are just absurd. I see comments stating that there is no difference from this team and last years, or there is no real improvement unless you get a win. Both views are disillusion. The team is getting better every game and those that cant see it are either blind or closing their eyes. I was reading a book "Three and Out" about Rich Rodriguez's tenure at UM and they had a quote attributed to Bobby Bowden about a new coach and the teams expectations, he said " in the first year of a new coach you lose big, in the second year you lose the close games, in the third you win the close games , and in the forth you win big". Guess what, we are in the second year and guess again, we are losing the close ones. Next year we wins these games.
  9. UCF's stadium is nice because it doesn't have 40K empty seats. It is nice because they never have to wonder if the field will be painted with their symbols. Its nice because ........ I will take a relatively cheap stadium vs using the Bucs. I realize that people will disagree with me on this but there has been a change in their fan base since they put up that stadium and it isn't just because they are winning more, although that helps. I think the OCS has helped generate a larger and more loyal following.
  10. A question--"official" as per whom? You can go ahead and abide by your rules, I'll continue to defy them. I can ALMOST grasp our rules as far as being at a game, you should absolutely support your team. That said, the night we played Louisville I rocked my USF hat to the basketball game of the school at which I work. I had to be at that game, and I had on that shirt, but I was wearing a USF hat too because I still and always will support my alma mater. Anywhere on a college campus? that's ridiculous. Following that logic, my office wouldn't be full of spirit items for both of my alma maters. And "at home do as you please"? What of those in live-in/on positions where "at home" is on a college campus? You wanna follow your rules? Knock yourself out. You do it your way, and I'll do it mine. LittleDrummerBoy, If you dont abide by the official rules I will sic BigDrummerBoy after you. Believe me, you dont want that
  11. I gotta call shullbit on that one. That's ri-got-dang-diculous. Perhaps said insistence is the reason why, as you say, people are "thinking USF is a secondary institution". Why would a first-rate institution care if I wear my alma mater's gear? I love USF, am grateful for my diploma, AND I believe are an excellent school academically. Same goes for UMBC. Further, if it weren't for my undergrad alma mater, I would never BE at USF. Why in blue hell would I jump ship and stop wearing it?! Quite frankly, I think THAT would show a lack of character. What/Who is UMBC, is that like the University of Phoenix? Do they have a football team? If not, I think we are talking apples to oranges. I really dont think most people would get offended if you wore your Community College shirt on the USF campus. If you didnt attend the university, dont wear the crap on USF campuses or at the games. First of all, do your homework before you go insulting my alma mater. The University of Maryland, Baltimore County. www.umbc.edu's a good place to start, though the Princeton Review'll give you some quality information too. Maybe you won't sound so uneducated next time. And no, we don't have a football team. But what if we did? I have other friends of mine--now fellow USF alums--who got their undergraduate degrees from FSU and UF. What, pray tell, is your reasoning for them abandoning their alma maters because they chose to pursue a graduate degree? I would think that someone who wishes to foster pride in their alma mater would be supportive of such things. And if you happen to be in the DC area over the holidays, I think the winningest program in collegiate chess is headed to the Final Four again. No, it's not a sport. But it's not bad for a "community college". http://sta.umbc.edu/orgs/chess/Pan-Am2006/ Here are the official rules to wearing college clothing 1. There are no rules to wearing college clothing except at for two cases.   a. At a college sporting event   b. At a college campus For case a) If you are attending a college sporting event you may either:  a. Wear clothing associated with the home team  b. Wear clothing associated with the visiting team  c. Wear unassociated clothing (ex. something from the gap) What you cannot wear while attending a college sporting event:  a. If you are a student of one of the teams playing, you will not, under any circumstance, I dont care if you grew up watching them or not, wear the opposing teams gear.  b. Wear clothing of any other college teams not currently playing on the field of said event. For case While on a college campus you may wear clothing with that college's logo or unaffiliated clothing only. So, suppose you graduate from FSU and decide to get a degree at USF. That's just fine, be proud of FSU, just dont wear their crap on the USF campus or at our games. At home, do as you please. These are very simple rules and they are official. Any questions or clarifications, please feel free to ask.

  13. I dont care if your reason for attending USF was to tend a sick mother or for finianical reason. Once you are accepted and are attending USF wearing other teams garbage has got to stop. At least at the minimum, you shouldnt wear it on USF property. If you do, you're a tool, simple as that. As for thinking USF is a secondary institution, I think that is the general preception. Among both the average joe and those on this board (although we dont want to admit it). Look, if there is a two page thread explaining why you went to USF over some other college, you know there is a problem. People that go to the top schools dont bother telling people why they went there. Hopefully, one day we will get there, but doubt it. Thats just the way things are. I still love USF and am gratefull for my diploma but I do realise we are not the best school academically.
  14. Yes, and you should never write fiction or satire either..."just the facts mam". I mean what if you said "eat **** and die" and the guy really eats some and dies. Now, wouldnt you feel bad? The guy was saying he wanted Grothe's ankle twisted, I think it definitely deserved a response. As for the "dying" comment, it was obvious that he was exaggerating whereas the ankle bit was serious....come on, didn’t we all go to college, what ever happened to reading comprehension?
  15. Or maybe "White Matteus J. Grotheinius Higgenbottom McTouchdownPants"
