Once the Big East fell apart and USF football tanked there was no reason to give the program any ink.

The media isn't going to come back until there is a reason to like beating a ranked P5 team, cracking the top 15 or joining a P5 conference.

The local media won't even jump if we win the AAC. It's Conference USA 2.0 and not worthy of their time.

 

 

I'd understand the somewhat lack of coverage.  What I don't like is the general negative slant to the coverage.  We've pointed this out numerous times during the season where they had multiple angles to provide a positive uplifting story of USF or its individual players, yet choose to put in digs at attendance or schedule or anything they could find.  During bad seasons, I understand not being able to sugar coat things or provide much "positive" news.  We had a 10-2 season with multiple records broken, yet the coverage rarely reflected that.

Not to be that guy, but they're going to sell more TB hosting the Nat'l Championship papers than Bulls beat muschamp papers.

Do have a snowblower at least or do you do it the old fashioned way?

Usually a blower but The snow was way to heavy. Had to call some one with a truck and plow to move it out.

Maybe some day but I do enjoy having the four seasons.  I also use all four: one hour from the sea coast where I sail, one hour from the lakes region for the best swimming, and two hours from the White Mountains for excellent skiing. Some years the winters do get long but the payoff are those summers of 75 degrees and autumns with the foliage.

Saw that a week or so ago. Was going to say something, but I think they may be tired of my bitchin' at them. Just one more of the reasons I canceled my subscription.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
