  1. Agree! Thursday will be a tough game in their house, but I’m confident they can win.  If nothing else, they need to win just to mess with UCF mentally prior to the conference tournament. 

    In the most recent bracketology, Charlie Creme listed UCF as the aq. Hope that the young ladies prove him wrong!

     I just had to go on the UCF blogs to see their reaction. A couple of their articles are making an issue of our forfeit win against Memphis.  Typical UCF...

    While UCF has improved their WBB program, I suspect their coach will leave in a couple of years for a P5 program, since she has no loyalty/ties to the school. DW brought her there, and he’s now gone. Once she leaves, their program will then be on a downhill slide. Meanwhile, CJF will stay here and continue to win.

    We even won without Lazic being on the court tonight (lol)

  2. Regarding Silvia - I’ve heard nothing but great things about her, and I felt bad that she never got to have the career here that she deserved. I thought that she had left the program last year, but was surprised to see her name on the roster. Maybe she’s still listed for scholarship purposes?

    Unfortunately, no Hardwood Club this year to ask CJF these types of questions.

    #4 in Bracketology is great; I’ll get excited about it in early March. Lots of games to go, and we still haven’t played Oviedo Community College yet.  We have to avoid that mid-season, middle of the week road loss that gets us most years. However, the team is looking good, and has a deep bench (finally)... 

    Go Bulls

  3. Good for Enna... but who cares about Vanderbilt?  Lazic did miss a three pointer tonight, so I guess she should be kicked off the team? (Sarcasm font) Everyone is entitled to their opinion.  However, instead of criticizing a young kid who is trying her best, why don’t you criticize CJF instead for losing to UCF as much as he has recently?  Better use of energy IMO

  4. I didn’t say that Pinzan was in CJFs doghouse all of last season. It was earlier in the season, before the numerous injuries. However, it was apparent to me, based on his pre-game talks and courtside actions, that she was in the doghouse for part of the season. 

    My point with mentioning Pinzan is that players improve. In her case, she has gone from being in the doghouse to running the team on the court.  If Lazic doesn’t improve, I’m sure that CJF will show her the door. Enna is a good example. On an All-Conference Team one year; gone the next year.

    Give Lazic a chance.

    Go Bulls

  5. Agree with CousinRicky - Lazic only played for one game last year before getting injured, so give her some time. Pinzan was in CJF’s doghouse last year, and look at her now.  We’ve finally got some depth on the bench, so hopefully the newer players can develop properly, instead of just putting them out on the court and hoping for the best.

  6. The first picture (the Channel 9 news anchor) is Neena Pacholke. She and Micah Kroll were the famous “Tampa 2” of USF WBB fame. They spent most of their careers on the bench. However, I’ll never forget when Micah made a 3 pointer off of a pass from Courtney Williams with about a minute left in their last home game as seniors. The Sun Dome erupted... and that’s what makes college athletics special.

  7. Congrats to Thor and best wishes (except when Clearwater plays Northeast).  If he couldn’t come back to Polk County (he graduated from Lake Region), then Clearwater is the next beat move. Don’t follow Pinellas County HS football anymore, but I remember that they always had a good program.  I recall seeing Hassan Jones play for Clearwater against my Vikings many years ago...

    Agree 100% with the comment from another poster about establishing a pipeline. That was one of the many reasons why I was glad that USF started a football program - so local kids would get the chance to stay home and play college football. 

    I only met Thor once, but came across as well mannered, courteous and respectful.  I also got to know his mother thru my previous employment in another city. She was doing great work as an elementary school principal located in a lower-income area comprised primarily of migrant families. She told me about how Thor got screwed over by the NFL “Good-Old-Boy” network by not getting drafted, then expecting him to stick around as an UDFA. 

    I hope that Augie will eventually become the HC at Northeast, and start another pipeline!
