hmm I kind of like the straight to business approach. The differences between coach Strong and Taggart are starting to show

It started as a Tampa Chapter of the Alumni Association event. Used to be at the Beef O Brady's on Fowler near 50th Street. Not sure exactly when it started but they go back until at least 2004, but probably even further. A good friend of mine started them. Athletics took them over around 2008 or 2009 ish.

Athletics shouldn't pass up an opportunity to reach out to its fanbase for something like this ... especially with, basically, a whole new staff that we don't know much about and would be kind of neat to hear and possibly interact with. I think it's a pretty bad decision not to have something.

Been told it isn't his style.

I can understand. His approach to recruiting is developing a real and honest relationship with the person. I could see where throwing a party to celebrate might in some way detract from that.

The NSD party isn't for the recruits, it;s for the boosters.

Disinvite CCS if ya have to, but hold the durned party!

It is another chance to engage your fan base. And USF needs all that they can muster.

This in a nutshell is why he wasn't a good fit at Texas.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
