Excerpts:

Quote

"Great job on making history, now go make it again," laughed head coach Charlie Strong, who is entering his first season at USF. "When you think about just where everyone has said what we can do, it still comes back to us working and taking care of business each week and buying in every single day. I tell these guys all the time 'Win The Day'."

Strong takes over perhaps his most talented offense as a head coach.

 

Quote

USF was the top scoring offense in the American Athletic Conference in 2016 putting up nearly 44 points per game. The Bulls have moved on from the fast-paced Gulf Coast Offense and are focused on their 2017 offense being even faster by snapping the ball every 12-15 seconds.

"We want to get the ball, move it, get it to the middle official, get set, get the signal and keep rolling," said senior quarterback Quinton Flowers, who is a legitimate 2017 Hesiman Trophy candidate.

I like this writer using "legitimate" in front of "Heisman candidate" instead of JK's "fringe" adjective.

JK is a red ass. I met him not too long ago. I told him how I felt about USF coverage. He tried explaining that there are other things to cover in Tampa and yaddy yaddy yada.  It felt good anyways.

We need the local media covering USF football like the hottest thing since 2007. Whatever helps put butts in seats. I don't care if that involves snarky Joey Knight articles or WFLA's newscast covering our tailgates as the "it thing" to do again. I gave this Spectrum Sports article a click; it can only help.

Seems to me there's a big swell in anticipation and interest in the Bucs.

That anticipation needs to be a year-to-year thing with our local media. It's typically the Times running the coverage, and everyone else tends to follow suit, if and win USF gets "hot." 

[Brad]

I was implying our media types may be so enamored with the Bucs potential, they don't need us.  Now, if the Bucs were in the crapper...

Can you be fringe and bona fide at same time?

Sure. He's got the numbers to be a legit candidate but, because of where he plays, non P5, is on the outer band of the radar ...

Don't go blaming this on Klystron 9 again.
