    That **** head has been saying that for five years now...hopefully no one will listen 

    You wouldn’t be saying that if you were a season ticket holder at a P5 school.

    Back in the day the CFB season was 10 games, we played 7 conference games and the 3 other games were against top name programs...season ticket holders were getting their monies worth...not forced to pay for cupcake games.

    Man, the first and only mistake by Mr. Selmon...

    So tell us how many USF season tickets you (a USF Grad) purchased (and actually attended the games) during the first 18 years of the program?   Mr Selmon’s “mistake purchased between 4 & 8 each of 17 out of those 18 seasons., and also donated to the Bulls Club.   Too bad for USF, Mr Selmon didn’t make a lot more “mistakes”!

    Unfortunately, if we are going to fill the stadium we will have to do a large portion of it with the Tampa band wagon fans. In the magical 2007 year, we didn't have that many people at the Elon game. It wasn't until we beat Auburn that people started talking. By the time the WV game came around, .....

    About 20 thousand of the seats at the WV game were filled by Mountaineer fans.

    If the Elon game was right after the Auburn game...the attendance would have been about the same as it was.

    I am referring to alumni who don’t make their living for another university. That being said, you really don’t know if Mr. Selmon put USF over his alma mater OU. Probably supported them equally. 

    Well then, I suppose I should never have accepted an invite from Lee Roy to a USF game and then purchased season tickets, and attended almost every game for years.

    CJL Sighting

    I have a feeling CJL wants to be a HC - somewhere meaningful - before his time is up. 

    Morningside College would be a great place for him to end his career.  Go Mustangs!

    There is not a whole lot to remember. He played in 43 games and scored just 23 career points in his career, which included one season at Morgan State. He couldn’t even get on the court at Morgan State which is in arguably the weakest conference in college basketball. When Omogbehin signed with USF my first thought was "Fire Stan Heath right effing now."

    Where do you get your stats from?

    Not disagreeing with you, but worth noting that the USF Allen presided over was very different from the USF of today and the world of college athletics was far different than it is today. It would have been nice to have football earlier, but I'm also not certain that a USF commuter school of the 1980's and early 1990's starting football would have been successful. Sure a 5-15 year head start would have been nice, but it also might have failed too, and we might not be happy with where we are today in that scenario. 

    UT started football in 1933, but for financial reasons shut the program down in 1974.  The Bucs coming to Tampa put the final nails into the Spartan’s coffin.  The Ole Sombrero was home to UT starting back in 1967.

    Pretty simple. The owner of Serta gave $15 million, the owner of the Saints gave $7.5 million, and the owner of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers gave somewhere in the $5 million range. So...$25-$30 million of the $75 million cost in one swoop. That's how.

    Yulman gave $15 million, and the followed that up with $10 million more,  but there was a lot more to it than what you stated above.

    How many $50K plus donors will USF have for an OCS?

    My faith has been restored by seeing the common sense replies and acknowledgement of reality in this thread.

    St. Jim even said Ray Jay was his best recruiting tool.

    It's on the back burner, but maybe if someone could mock up what it would look like if Papa John's Stadium was put on MOSI land or on campus somewhere it might get moved to the front burner.

    Where it would go up in flames and be reduced to ashes!

    BTW,  Papa John’s Stadium is no more!

    Interesting thread.   Someone please explain how UofH and Tulane (of all schools) can build a new OCS whilst in the AAC...  and USF can't?    Reliant Stadium, where the Texans play, is a few miles from UofH.  And (not that it matters), but the color scheme actually works for UofH.   Yet they were able to work up funding and get an awesome ocs built.    I'm in Texas and I catch a game there every year.

    I am actually in the crowd that is fine paying in the Bucs stadium...   we won't be able to build something nicer, so why not use it?   But, since so many seem to think an OCS is almost a requirement for 'moving up', I don't see why we can't do it...     

    I think it all relates to general support for USF.  When we were losing, we didn't draw fans.  They said that winning would cure it.  For the last two seasons we have been winning, and we still draw flies.   Why should we build an OCS for THAT kind of fanbase?   I think that's our number one problem. Culture.

     

     

    Everything else aside...they have something that USF lacks...a Donor Base that supports Such undertakings.
