**** good thing NAS is not a FB fan he would have jumped off a bridge years ago.. 

I am football fan...played college ball.  I prefer to watch USF football on TV...was a season ticket holder for many years...didn’t jump off of  bridges after the fall from Numba 2!

What does the budget for UConn look like compared to our's? Same conference....

UConn WBB makes money, while USF’s run in the red!

As to SEC money, how many SEC WBB teams are Top 15 programs?

Jesus dude do you EVER have anything good to say? 

Sure...1.  One of my granddaughters was awarded a full scholly to ND Law School.

            2.  I’m heading to Scandinavia for a month, and then back home to Hawaii to my newly finished  home...Life’s good!   I can’t wait to see and stock my new 18’ bourbon bar.

Aloha!

BTW Tell your buddy TB...the no further reply was in reference to his post.

It looks like it included everything that did except basketball. What else did it include that the Athletic Pass didn’t? (Which I really miss)

I sounds like USF’s was a freebie/benefit limited to $2000 donors, while Sooner One Pass is available for purchase without a required donation.  

USF’s was a giveaway, while OU’s is a revenue generator..

Is that better than a Late One Pass?

Is that what you get for arriving after a game starts, and leave before it ends?

Scholar Bull ($2000) donors back in the day used to get a pass that got them into all sports except football and basketball. Then tax implications forced the Athletic Association to stop the practice. (note: Athletic Association = Bulls Club & Scholar Bull = whatever we call the $2000 a year giving level now)

How many Scholar Bulls were there “back in the day”?

Am I correct in assuming that it was a freebie for those?

Either way it was a completely different concept than the Sooner One Pass.

That’s not even close to being similar to Sooner One Pass.

Um, the last 10 years is the most successful run in USF WBB history. 

 

OK, How has it improved in the last 7 years compared to what Vic Schaefer did in Starkville, MS over those same 7 years.

I find it hilarious that you decide to criticize Women's Basketball (one of our most successful programs), when there are other more deserving sports to criticize. 

I guess that is just your way, you like to stir the pot for attention.

How has Jose improved the program in the last 7 years?  I have very little to no interest in those other sports, besides what do they have to do with the state of WWB?   When I look at Jose’s tenure at USF, I see a program that improved but has become stagnant in the last 3rd of of his reign.  

The last time I checked TBP is a forum for discussing/voicing opinions about USF sports.

I too started going in the Trudi Lacey era, if you have been coming ever since, I think we must know each other. I sat through so many games where the crowd was under 50, I had to get a good look at everyone in the Corral. (or pre-Corral in the Dome). 

Trudi's career highlight at USF is when she punched the Louisville mascot at a conference tournament (I think the Metro Conference). 

I just can't understand how anyone could have sat through all those tough times and not appreciate how good we have it now. 

I remember sitting behind our bench one game with a previous coach and we were getting killed and our opponent was using a full court press and we turned the ball over 4 straight possessions. We call time a 30 second time out and our coach draws up a play that involved getting the ball to our 6'2, 300++ pound center and asking her to dribble the ball 15 feet to cross the time line then immediately pick up her dribble. Mind you, there are bigs who are incredible athletes who could pull this off. This woman was not one of them. I wanted to yell into the huddle, that can't possibly work. Next three possessions we run that play and turn it over 3 more straight times for a total of 7 straight possessions where we didn't attempt a shot. This is what life was like before. Before you say this is similar to when we play UConn now, the opponent that day was someone like Southern Miss or UAB, a top 200 program, not UConn a top 4 program (I wanted to say top 1 program, but that is another discussion). 

Mike...What happened before is Jose is meaningless at this point...he’s been at the helm for 19 seasons...how has he improved the Bulls in the last 10 years.   Look at what Vic Schaefer has done in just 7 years at MSU.

If that’s the case then how can you not LOVE what Fernandez has done with this program?

He did well , but has made little to no progress in the last half his tenure.  He’s a great guy, he’s a good coach, but hasn’t been able to recruit enough here in the USA. 

Compare his 19 year record at USF,  to Vic Schaefer’s 7 years at MSU.

We were set up for a Sweet 16 run this year with primarily Euro players before all the injuries and illnesses hit this team hard.  I think most people would agree with that.

I dont buy the whole - you cant win with Euro player argument.  If you can ball, you can ball despite where you were born.

 

Set up for a run!  LOL  How many of the those injured were Euros?

Ok, you don’t buy it....so, name a team that has done it.

I would like to see us take that next step and advance further in the NCAA Tournament.  We have had a couple of 1 and outs the last couple times in the Big Dance.

That being said, Jose is the Man, and if he keeps on doing what he does, we will eventually break through and make some type of run.

How many teams have made it to the Elite Eight or Sweet 16...with rosters heavy with Euro players?

How did Jose’s teams do against Vic Schaefer’s MSU teams?

WBB will continue to be a joke until we hire Geno and pull in 4 of the top 5 American players each year. Until then, we're going to continue being bottom feeders in DI. If we're not able to commit to that, we might as well drop to DIII so we can be competitive in the sport.

(Did I do that right, NAS?)

No!

Dude, you're so wrong. You obviously don't know of this program pre-Jose.

I started going to games during the Trudi era, so to use your assessment...Dude you’re so wrong!

No, they weren't originally sold as Club Access seats for 2019.

I know I made it a point to contact those accounts who sit there first during the renewal period and discuss the changes before renewing. I am assuming hightech has a different representative.

Not football, but has USF ever tried a ticket plan similar to Sooner One Pass?

WBB has kept a ranked team 4 the past decade. Your aurgument would be more valid if we sucked.

Ranked well whoop de doo!  Progress has been slow to non existent.

I have a perfect record of not ever attending a women’s basketball game and yes I know they are historically pretty good and won the little dance a few years back. The women’s game lacks a flow and is hard to watch IMO.

That’s ancient history (the WNIT win was ten years ago), but have done little since.

Mississippi State is no joke. 

Vic Schaefer is the real deal...he took that program to the top level in a few years.   He can coach, and he’s been able to attract American talent to come play in Starkville, Mississippi.

Another Euro flop.. much like Kitija Laska, Maria Jesperson, Laura Ferreira, Laia Flores, Ariadna Pujol, ect. Some players pan out, some don't. It's part of sports. Whether they come from Europe, FL, NYC, Philly, or Chicago has no determining factor on that.

How long have you been attending USF WBB games?

It appears you know very little about the huge difference between committed and signed in college sports ....

 

If signing an NLI isn’t making a commitment , then nothing is.

Iris Tsafara #24....early commit, and early NLI signer came and went as quickly as she came.  Another Euro-flop for CJF.

No further reply will be made by me.
