TheUpperHand Posted August 31, 2015 Group: Member Topic Count: 44 Content Count: 2,034 Reputation: 1,409 Days Won: 20 Joined: 06/29/2007 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Some observations: Glad that they're putting a Football Preview out, but geez. I know the state of the football program is bad and it's journalism, but can the Football Preview at least highlight some reasons for fans to show up? Sad Taggart doesn't make me want to spend my Saturdays at Ray Jay. Excluding the cover, I counted 15 pages of ads out of 22 pages of space. Otherwise, we got a page on the Respect-A-Bull campaign, some half page fillers such as depth charts and schedules, a spread on the sorry state of the team (including a panorama of the empty stadium), and a uniform feature. I'm pumped. Seriously, though, there's a couple of OK pieces (a highlight of Mack and a few small profiles of several players) but nothing providing much insight. It's OK for the casual fan, but doesn't appear that much thought was put into it. My favorite is the 'Scouting USF's slate of opponents' article which features such hits from Jeff Odom such as: On Temple's 2014 season: "If it weren't for a skid in which they lost five of seven down the stretch, the Owls would have been in conversation for the conference title." On the Syracuse game: "One of the Big East's best rivalries finally returns." Edited August 31, 2015 by TheUpperHand 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would also make a whole lotta money if you make the bet and it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USFBulls12 Posted September 1, 2015 Group: Member Topic Count: 62 Content Count: 3,697 Reputation: 930 Days Won: 7 Joined: 03/17/2012 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Is there a chance though? Even an undefeated season won't rank us high enough in any given season to be eligible to compete for the national championship..I feel like it would take about 15-18 straight wins before we popped into the top 5 in a future season from now. Otherwise there really is no chance we get ranked high enough without several upset wins against P5 teams...am I way off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
