  1. wanted: 2 club access tickets. $2 each or will trade noosebleed tix or roll of toilet paper.
  2. Thanks for all your research there Jim. I guess I was off on my recollection of the thletic fees, as you indicated they are currently already higher than what I thought (flat $20, hmm maybe that was computing fees?) On a different note, even though it'd be good money, I'd hate to have an on campus stadium with a corporate name. I know Louisville and some others do it, but for a college atmosphere names like Florida field at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium or Bobby Bowden Field at Doak Campbell Stadium are more appropriate. Imagine our first home game Leavitt Stadium, or National television covering the 11-0 Bulls facing off against an 11-0 Miami team in "the house that Jim built"
  3. Thats completely understood outrunner, and yes I too would donate more to the cause, and I know this survey has little to no effect on what actually happens. It just seemed a little decieving to me, and could see someone actually thinking that for $2 extra each hour we'd raise all the money needed for an on campus stadium. Now I'd be interested to see what the results of a survey were that asked about "8 dollars a credit hour, on top of the current $20 per semester athletics fee"
  4. Absolutely. And had Louisville made it to the NC game how many people would say the exact opposite?  "You know, UF would have been in the NC game if they didn't lose to Auburn, and almost blow it against Tennessee, and Vandy, and South Carolina......" [/sarcasm] ;D
  5. lets do the math $2/credit hour x 135 hours (based on number of hours I took to obtain BSEE) = $270 $270 per student x 42000 students (approximate enrollment) = 11,340,000 over four years. Well short of the 150 million dollars estimated by Jim of the final cost in the "on Campus stadium questions answered" sticky. and barely enough every four years to pay the annual bond of 11 million per year (also in the same thread.) good try, but much other funding would be needed, and $2 per hour is only a small dent in the price of such a project.
  6. ?? In what, recruiting? We're already ahead of them by a mile in the rankings.
  7. Did anyone see Lou Holtz on ESPN Saturday night? We were out at 5 points and saw him holding up our helmet and giving us some love, but it was loud and we couldn't hear what he was saying. Can someone giveme a quick recap?
  8. Good explanation Mike, but you missed a very important part of the new contract. Beginning after the '09 year all conferences will be evaluated in several categories (OOC wins, conference strength, Bowl winning %, and others) to determine the automatic BCS conference bids. It is possible for any of the current conferences (BE, ACC,SEC, PAC10, B10, B12) to lose the automatic berth and C-USA (among others) to pick it up. However you probably have a better chance hitting the lotto, twice.
  9. My $400 HD-DVR is nearly usless now because its full from this years games. Someone needs to come out on the market quick with an affordable Blue-ray recorder. We were really spoiled this year with the number of HD games we had.
  10. Actually 106 is a verified speed.  Stupid top speed govenors.......
  11. So very true.  I was shocked by attitude of the police Friday night at 5 points.  As a large group of ECU fans and us USF fans gather on the corner chanting back and forthe ECU, USF, 4&0, and all sorts of other things for well over an hour without a single incident of violence, vanadalism or any other real problems when the Police showed up started tackling people, pulling out pepper spray and arresting people.  Its a bowl game for crying out loud, whatever happened to "No harm, no foul." I've been to FSU bowl games in previous years when we didn't have a bowl game (in Miami and Jacksonville) when this type of behavior went on all night with thousands more fans and nobody got arrested.......  I guess we just gotta make the Gator bowl or BCS game next year.  ;D
  12. Bump..... Looks like I'll be making the trip alone at this point, so I'll make the same offer to anyone who wants to go but needs a ride, roommate or both.  Send me a PM.
  13. Thats how I goto tallahassee all the time. From Sarasota it cuts off over an hour as opposed to going 75 to 10.
