  1. Exactly! Early winning and success in the Big East conditioned our fans to expect nothing but the best every season and they expected that type of competition every season. I think a brand new team's core base of fans grows slowly. It was over-inflated by joining the Big East and early success. When the conference and winning went away, the "fair weather" fans stopped coming to games and it was back to the core base.
  2. The secondary ticket market seems to have this game marked up because of homecoming. I usually pay about $20 for the same area every game. That area is now $30. This might affect casual fans looking to pick up tickets who aren't concerned about Homecoming.
  3. Back then, it seemed like the sky was the limit. Knocking off ranked teams, filling the stadium, playing quality opponents. I get chills every time I watch that game. Seems so long ago.
  4. I guess the towel guys graduated and moved on. I think it turned into all those guys and girls all painted up in the front row of the student section. It seems like all the stuff they try now is so forced. I think they just throw stuff out there to see if it sticks.
  5. I can see if it was done during extra points and field goals, but it's just randomly done by just about everyone and at any time. Anyone else find it kind of creepy that the camera guy seems to find several "attractive" women and repeatedly show them over and over through out the game? What am I saying. More of this is needed.
  6. After the starting QB went out of the game early for Maryland, it was game over. I didn't watch the entire game. If he didn't return, I'd assume this killed any offensive production.
  7. The irony is that he writes articles that not many see......
  8. I brought 3 (casual fan) co-workers with me hoping they might want to go to another one. They were ready to leave after the 3rd quarter. Besides the great effort by the defense, there wasn't much entertainment value. Temple was horrible and after we got a few touchdown lead, we just started running the ball.
  9. I think all the penalties on offense might have thrown off his rhythm. I'm really not sure what is up with false starts. It's never been that big of an issue in the past. Flowers usually gets better as the game goes along, but it takes him some time to get warmed up. With running the ball so much, I think it threw off his passing. The drops didn't help either. He just didn't look comfortable throwing.
  10. He definitely needs to play smarter. But, watching the replay of the game, it does look like he puts his hands up, but his body momentum just carried his upper body and face mask into the opposing qb. At that size, it's hard to play hard and fast and be able to pull up at the last minute. He plays a position that a second or two can mean the difference between a sack and a completion.
  11. I think you mean it sucks that our team doesn't have a larger fan base. We have real fans and then we have people who show up to games for a multiple of reasons other than watching USF football. Hopefully some of these people will eventually become fans.
  12. He even made a tackle on special teams tonight. Definitely a game ball.
  13. Exactly! This game could create some new Bull fans. We just need the high octane offense we've been teased with to show up.
  14. Anyone else have knots in their stomach over this one? Stout defensive line against the run and a short practice week? Gilbert better game plan to spread them out and sling it this week.
  15. If they change it to Saturday, are we able to get a refund on tickets? My wife works Saturday but is off on Friday. Only reason I bought an extra ticket.
  16. At least they can't lose this weekend. Glad they'll be safe.
  17. Who's he really taking a stab at? I can see if we were consistently filling the stadium last season and then no one showed up for the opener. I think the die-hard fans were there. The students were there. I think it's the casual Tampa Bay fan who was missing. Can we really call them USF fans. They don't show up if it's raining or if it's too hot, or if UF, FSU, Miami, etc is playing at the same time.
  18. You get an upvote for that one. Headphones probably weren't even plugged in.
  19. I think that's mostly because of their lack of offense or quality quarterback that they were picked 8th. Last year opponents averaged 100 yards per game at 2.1 average yards per rush. Yeah, I know, consider the opponents. 2016 Temple vs. USF - 48 attempts / 322 yards 6.7 avg 2016 Temple vs. Stony Brook - 39 attempts / 177 yards / 4.5 avg.
  20. We'll move up when we start showing something with the offense. Right now, I think everyone is watching and waiting to see what happens.
  21. I'm just saying they took a scheme they were used to from last year and changed it. I would assume 3 is better than 2 back there. But yeah, guys need to make their blocks.
  22. Didn't we have 3 guys back in punt protection last year? I'll have to re-watch some older games. The formation just looks odd to me, maybe I'm crazy. Just re-watched temple game from last year. Yes, we had 3 back in protection. Not sure why they removed one this year. Definitely not working. They need to go back to the old scheme.
  23. Stoney Brook had a pretty good run defense last year that seems to have improved. Their game plan was to stop the run. Normally, I think we'd start throwing, but I think the rainy first half hindered the play calling. The passing plays that were called were overthrown or dropped. I do think we'll see the same game plan against us every week. The offensive line was pretty offensive. Their play needs to improve. Luckily, I don't think Uconn is much better than Stoney Brook so we should be okay this week as long as it doesn't rain or snow.
