I have been going to the games is the first season and I have done some soul searching about what ERA's have been most exciting over the years. If I am being honest with myself, as much as I liked winning 11 games last year, I felt let down by the defense. We have traditionally been a defensive team and I always enjoyed that. I liked scoring at will last year but it was like a sugar high that quickly wore off as soon as the other team took the field. I did not enjoy the games as much as in years past. Maybe it is the competition but I didn't care about that when we were AA or CUSA. So it got me thinking what was with my lack of enthusiasm (don't get me wrong - I loved a lot about last season). I am wondering if other fans might feel the same way. It has been hard getting excited about the team since Holtz cratered the program and maybe I am still recovering from that or maybe it is the style of play. Could it be that winners of most games are nearly predetermined before the kick off? I am hoping that Strong can revive the defense again (like he is doing) while Gilbert continues to move the ball. Its the bi-week and I was wondering what others thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better competition, bigger crowds. CWT era was definitely fun, and I like what I'm seeing out of this year's team, but the empty stadium and garbage schedule give it a small-time feel. This team deserves better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now this time we just gotta continue to build on it.. These current batch of recruits did an amazing job, From 2 wins to now. This incoming class is very important as is our biggest class and we need to continue moving forward. All we need now is a few signature wins to get it sparked up again.

Well I guess there was the ND game and beating Clemson. Then... Losing to Syracuse, a no scoring affair with Miami, and other painful things.

I started at USF in 2005 so the Big East days are obviously my favorite. CWT would be second though. Edited October 6, 2017 by 206BULL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
