Ok, so I agree we are the worst 6-0 football team Quarters 1-3, but we are the best 6-0 football team in the 4th quarter.  This team does not flinch in the 4th quarter when down by 2 scores and pulls out the victory.  Bulls 4th quarter football is very very entertaining.  Some of my humble points on the teams wins:

1. The coaching on the offensive seems predictable, close to the vest and execution is not that great Q 1-3, when we are down in 4th Q, the coaches have no choice but to open up the playbook and let our players out skill our competition.  Yes our receivers and running backs are very good and better then the other team  

2. Even thou at times the QB seems timing on throws are off, he gives us the best chance to win.   He also makes some great runs when needed to keep drives alive.  Some better coaching and he can improve quickly.

3. Our run defense is Swiss cheese.  I have no answers here.  We need a mean streak.

4. I loved big east football with Jim L. Teams, but face it after 5-0 start we would have lost this game.

5. 6-0 baby, just win.

It's obvious this coaching staff is not impressed with Flower's as a passer.  Run, run run...

B-     Need to win the conference championship in at least football, basketball (men's or ladies) or baseball for a higher grade.

Now that he's jobless is there any way we can arrange a McMurphy/Leavitt boxing match? I'd pay to see that over Canelo's next fight. 

Leavitt would slap the smirk off his face 

Was the punter last year a fan favorite?   I think Mack would be available in 3rd or 4th round.

Then why do football teams spend the night before a game in a hotel in the area?  These players are used to that sort of thing. Unless you're talking multiple time zones I just don't see it.  

And most baseball fields have 90' between the bases.  Sure the outfield fences are different heights but I don't see it as a big deal.  Who you play matters more than where you play.

We are talking baseball Burbon Butt, football has a lot more cash to get their early, practice, etc.. 

3.  The crowd is usually bigger for home team, the players can feed off that energy

Go look at the statistics between home team and visiting team.  Let me give you something easy that your brain may comprehend.  Would you rather sleep in your own bed, have your normal routine and go to a business meeting or travel, sleep in hotel room, not be your normal routine then go to meeting   I totally understand if your a fry cook, none of this will make sense to you    Go Bulls

Never quite figured out home/away advantage/disadvantage in baseball.  You get 27 outs to try to score.  Outside of FSU we didn't beat a ton of great teams.  I'm still going with what coach said - we'll be better this year but should make the tournament next year.

The advantage/disadvantage is the following:

1. Your more familiar with the ball park if your the home team.  Advantage home team

2. If your playing at home, your not traveling.  Traveling and sleeping in hotels you will be more tired then if your home and sleeping in your own bed.  Advantage home team

In conference play at away games we just need to win the series if 3 games or tie if 2.  It's hard to sweep away games in conference play.  It's a long season, but we have to dominate at home games, including at UCF.

If he gets drafted in 3rd round, then he made the right decision.  Anything later and not a great decision.   However, I would love the Bucs to select him if he slips. I would love to pick up Rodney Adams undrafted and place on practice squad and work on hanging on to the ball.  Maybe use the same sticky on his hands as the New York Giants receivers. 

The successful coach had a losing record and has never won a bowl game..we lost a good upcoming coach, not a successful coach just yet. If he had left with the conference crown, then I would have a different opinion..   He made a mistake making Woodie defensive coordinator.   He did not make that mistake at Oregon. 

Let's just hire all their good coaches.  

This game we needed to win.  The win streak looked nice but we have not turned the corner yet on beating ranked teams consistently.

As a head coach I would probably take Heath over Gregory.

Heath had some good recruits.  Big mistake firing him.  That's what happens when the President who is an old lady gets to fire the coach.  She said at one time he got fired because he played boring basketball.  She did not understand he was trying to slow down the game, play tough defense and win close games.  Back then we were playing Big East basketball and he was playing to the strength of his players. Let's fire Judy.  

Playoffs...can we just win the **** conference championship for once.  

Yes I remember and Skip did not let up on that poor thinking.  Have to let natural born athletics play to their strengths.   BJ would hold onto the ball too long staying in the pocket then get sacked or fumble. 

Do the Gators have a very good assistant coach? They have stole enough of our coaches over the years.  It's time for a little payback. 

I don't see the Oregon bulls on that list. 

Tice is solid #2 running back, plus good blocker and good at short goal line yardage.  I hope to see a lot of the tandem of the junk yard dog and Miami Tice in the backfield in 2017. 

The Bucs traded up (106 pick) to take a kicker in the 2nd round, why not trade up and get Mack in 3rd or 4th round.  Maybe trade the kicker to move up, that would be a classic buccaneer move during the Draft.

Those rules only apply to players who have been on an "active" roster for more than two years. You can be on a practice squad until you're 85 years old as long as you haven't been on an active roster for more than 2 years. Basically, he hasn't spent enough time on an active roster yet.

Thanks for the info.   I bet the Patriots could find a way to get him on the field.

They just showed him on Tv in the tunnel. Not dressed.

I think he has been in the league too long to be on practice squad. I did see him run out with the team and not dressed.  Seems strange to be active for a game of this magnitude and not be dressed.  Anyone have an explanation.  Anyway still got a glimpse of past USF playmaker 

I hope to get a glimpse of a former Bull that beat FSU on TV tonight for the Super Bowl.  Would be awesome if they ran a play that he was involved in.

I hate the ******* Gators ...

Bad move on Bell part.  I think this Gator coaching staff gets their walking papers in the next 2 to 3 years.   They are going to be dominated by FSU, plus Georgia and Tenn appears to be getting stronger in East Division and Gators will not beat Alabama for any SEC championships. 

We we need to make a counter offer.  Don't we have some Big East money in the bank?  The Gators freaking suck!!!

C+.    But no reflection on current coaching staff.  Slick Willie was a D-.  Strong had some late pick ups.

I consider anybody on this list who committed on 1/31/17 as a flip.

The class looks respectable.  Fills some needs.  Few nice size O-lineman.  Better than I was expecting.
