I taught a mode rocket camp this week, one class for 1st-4th graders and one for 5th-8th graders... does it count as working if I just blew **** up and went swimming for 5 days?

You should change your screen name to Rocketman!

Man that sucks for him. 

I've never seen a player who stay injured so much.

I guess in the end, his physical health is more important than football. 

There’s far more to life than football.

USF WBB has had a number of them.

You guess???

Class of 2017:   Three 5 Star recruits.

Prieto, and Blagmon both left USF after the season.

Silvia Serrat...injured 2017/18 & 2018/19...if I’m not mistaken, she has yet to play a game for USF.

Yep, that post says it all...well done

Hardly...

Safe to say, they kept the team competitive even though half the team was injured. 

3 of the class of 6 have left USF.

1 was part of the injured.

2018-2019 Class:  

Imports:  Tsafara, Jordao, Pinzon,  Rozentale, Septe,  

Americans: Harvey,  Kestner

2017-2018 Class:  

Imports:  Prieto, Serrat. 

American:  Blagmon

Players in bold left the team 

BTW, how many of the injured players were imports?

How did last seasons “stacked recruiting class” stack up?  Kelly should limit the number of “imports” Jose can recruit.

1 I agree. On #3, if I had a vote, Jenkins belongs. Kitija (and Jespersen) are strong candidates, but if the classes are 3-5 a year

2.  One more thing, for honors like Hall of Fame and banners in the Dome, those are usually delayed by at least 5 years after graduating, it allows the honorees perspective on their accomplishments at USF and makes the moment mean more to them.

3.  The fact that Williams is not in yet is not a snub, but just a natural progression. 

1. HOF Inductees are now limited to 3 per year.

2. HOF eligibility begins 4 years after the athlete’s NCAA eligibility is over.

3. Courtney becomes eligible for nomination to HOF next year.

Adding over 10k people a year and will eventually eclipse the Tampa population.  However I am doing everything possible to keep the property values down simply by my sheer presence, and my advice is still to not drink the water.

I lived in Plano, and Little Elm....back when there were way more cow chips than people living in Frisch.

1. For WBB - Dickson and Guyton are in the USF HOF. 

2. Courtney Williams will be in the USF HOF. 

3. The interesting arguments down the road will be Kitia and Jenkins. 

1. As they deserve to be.

2. She’s a shoe-in!

3. I’d vote for Jenks but not Kitija, unless it’s for the Free throw HOF.

This is probably one of the more interesting discussions I’ve experienced on TBP. Good points on both sides of the issue. 

Hum!...which points haven’t been voiced here before?

That’s the debate.  An aac trinket and losing all non-cons (or beating the FI/AUs) means very little to most.  Even for the incredible Tinmen, it and the “BCS” bowl win is proving useless.  

Well then, new prez might as well close down the football program

I'm confused.  Federal penitentiary for white collar crime? Edit: Or did you get a side gig as a warden?

We were out drinking at the Old Talbott Tavern and wound up spending the night in the Bardstown Jail.

I was reading an article, I think it was from the Florida Business Journal that stated UCF is among the highest (the highest) in student fees used to cover facilities.  That might help with their creative math, I'll see if I can find it.  Edit: "more than almost any other school in the nation, those expenses are balanced on the backs of students"  more

 

That was easy

 

So, how much are USF’s Athletic fee per student vs UCF’s.

The e-Newspaper.  The TBT throws in the whole week if you get the Sunday print version. My wife's Ipad downloads the paper to the device so once she has it downloaded she can take it on the road with us.  I usually read it on the desktop and, although I have a Mac, have never tried downloading it and just read it online.

Edit: Believe I have an app on my Samsung Phone that needs to keep an internet connection but use it so infrequently I'm not positive.

I read the e-newspaper on my iPad, and sipped some bourbon.. while spending the night in jail!

Your ESPN quote to this day is still the best! Way to represent Polk County and help put USF on the map for football.

Maps are a thing of the past...GPS is where it’s at!

She upgraded academics and research status to a level that many did not think was possible and I commend her for this.  UCF took all comers and is a joke.  I also agree that no matter who we had we were lucky to land the big east and were destined to land back where we probably always belonged after the realignment. My big beef is that we could have used our good fortune in the mid 2000’s and built some facilities to keep our sports program relevant, she was asleep at the wheel and never really understood the importance of a strong athletic program.  

There were a lot of athletic facilities built or upgraded after what you refer to as USF’s  “good fortune”.

Our plan is a blue print for the demise of USF Athletics.   Default and the state would shut down the program, lock, stock, and barrel.

Correction. Your plan, not our plan.

Here's my plan...we build an OCS, go all in, 50k seats, luxury boxes, scoreboards, the whole nine...then, strategic default. Let the bank take that **** over. They're going to have to rent it out to make back their money and we pit RJS and the new OCS against each other. We can rent our own OCS for the same price we're paying at RJS. Boom! 

You're welcome, Kelly.

I would give a couple of hundred mil for a OCS. They would have to name it after me though. That's tax deductible right?
