John Lewis

We deserved to host

@Cat941 can keep the realignment thread going.

Certainly understand the disappointment after yesterday, but the refs were not the reason we lost the game.

I'm sure the players would still want to keep playing,

The #1 seed of a conference tournament is not a “bid stealer”

The last play was designed for Vittoria. UTSA defended her well.

Did anyone mark Swaim's tweet down?

I hope USF works with the City of Tampa to get 50th street widened to two lanes with a center turn lane before the OCS is built.  Given the donor lots that will be close to the stadium will be most easily accessed from 50th and Holly (rather than 50th and Elm) it could be a bit of a bottleneck mixing donors with the general public who may not know where to turn.

 

There has been work being done in 50th, near Fletcher, for months. Certainly looks like that intersection is going to be widened.

I don’t believe it’s a courtesy at all.

It must be something to do with the IPF providing more shade & shelter for the Indian Burial Grounds. I believe the spirits are now very pleased with USF so we are now seeing good Karma…. Lol

Wasn’t the YC the alleged burial ground?

I’ll chalk it up to the new concourse/arena club improvements in the YC.

That's dumb.  So maybe there would a viable 2nd organization.

Having Louisville out is even worse. They bring something to the table in regard to Football.

Blocking access from Fowler -> Lot 6 is silly.  Bull Run is two lines wide in each direction... those donors should be able to use Fowler, enter on Bull Run, and go to their spots.

They should not be forced to use 50th street to Elm Street, where they have single lanes... especially if non donors think they can park on Sycamore from the same entrance.

I wouldn’t call it blocking. It’s re routing for the Lot 6 parking pass members and it does help ease traffic flow for them.

The one issue with the re routing that @Ricky the Bull brought up was to have better signage coming off of 50rh Street and I would agree that it is needed, especially if there are weeknight sellouts.

Beating Tulsa affects our conference tourney match up?

It affects our perception as an NCAA Tournament team.

I still hold the belief that a win tomorrow and getting to the AAC Final will be enough.

What we have to bank on .....

Looks like they were 12-8 in B1G play and 18-14 overall.

They had some nice Top 25 wins in conference and a couple of bad losses OOC.

Normally I'd agree ...... but the thread is "AAC Bracketology".

Our bracketology would be enhanced by a win tomorrow

Yup. They would destroy each other I guess.

If South Florida wears the script BULLS SoFlo, then it's over for USF.

Agree with this ↑ But until the surprise of this season there was no real reason to schedule anything but teams with a pulse. Nobody expected to have any reason to look ay NET rankings.

Does VPMK schedule OOC games. WBBCF always made it seem like he did the scheduling. I honestly don't know.

I believe the head coach has a huge say in the OOC schedule. I also believe that this season's OOC was mostly games from Coach Gregory.

I would anticipate that next season OOC will be vastly improved and that we may be invited to play in a tournament or two. I think we play at Loyola - Chicago next season.

Plus, if they were to play each other, someone on TBP could post, "USF will destroy us!".

Wouldn't it be USF ('12) vs. South Florida ('24)?

7 minutes ago, Triple B said:

Maybe this one ....

 

That would work, but this is just a comparison of 2 teams.

Hard to argue with the 2011 - 2012 team, but this team would certainly match up well with them.

USF has to not only get in the ncaat but win multiple games to exceed 2012 IMO.

This would be a good topic to debate in a separate thread.

I'll be shocked if that is where he ends up.

No, but the main Sun Dome ... er Y.C.  ... lots are far easier to access than Lot 6 ... but did they incoming divert traffic on Bull Run to prevent Lot 6 access?

Yes. 

Lot 6 is for season ticket members who are Arena Club/Floor seat holders. Lot 6 is also where the Iron Bulls park as well.

In my opinion, if this team isn't in the NCAA it will be a travesty.  I don't think I'm wearing Green and Gold glasses either.  You can't win this many games in a row and win the AAC regular season by this much and not be in.  I don't care what the "NET" says.  The only reason our NET is bad is because of early season games and if the committee can't see this and find a way to get us in then the whole thing is just silly.

Very well said.

I thought I typed this myself.

Enter from Fowler as Alumni has two lanes in each direction.

The way the direction flow has been utilized for the last 3 games did not provide access to Lot 6 (North lot) from this direction.
