  1. Seriously what educational benefits can be gained by renting drones to students? Do we have a NSA Spy course on campus? The drones should had been given to the USFPD to cut down on the bike thefts on campus instead.
  2. My thought process is more that if we made a sincere campaign to go try and sell USF alumni on buying season tickets (even nosebleeds), we could resuscitate our attendance really quickly. Given a good season, we wouldn't lose a lot. I.e. if we could get 25k alums to commit to buying season tickets and coming to games, even a 5-7 season would probably only bring the announced attendance down to 35-40k. I think they should close the nosebleeds and offer the 2nd level of the bowl at nosebleed prices. It looks terrible on TV all spread out like that. They will never do this, not as long as USF outsources its ticket office to a head hunting firm. Have to meet the quotas. Was it not outsourced before ~07? Upper deck was closed for many years at USF games. The ticket office used to be done in house... a few years back... maybe 2011? They fired most of the in house reps and out sourced the duties to a ticket selling firm. These guys are based at USF, but they are like temps and work for an outside firm and not USF like it used to be.
  3. Good move by Taggart Buzzed driving is NOT drunk driving
  4. Unless its backed by something of real value that can't be mass minted or printed (gold, silver, platinum, cooper, rare gems, etc) its a fiat currency. Unless I can take a bitcoin down to a bank or reserve and exchange it for something of real value its a fiat currency. http://www.theverge.com/2014/3/21/5533272/mt-gox-missing-bitcoins The bitcoin is just a complicated fiat ponzi scheme like the USD. Give me gold and silver any day. LOL Gold and silver only have real value if you're a dentist, or printing circuit boards, etc. Diamonds are only good if you're making drill bits or cutting blades, etc. Give me cattle or wives, FTW!!! http://www.moneynews.com/Economy/states-gold-silver-coin/2013/02/07/id/489288/ The article is from 2013... since then Utah, Arizona, and Oklahoma have passed laws that allow gold and silver to be used as legal tender. Virginia is in the process of making their own State Gold and Silver Coins. Currently Texas, Georgia, Nevada, Oregon, Alaska, Alabama, and South Carolina have bills to also legalize the use of Gold and Silver as legal tender. Gold and Silver retain their value because you can't print more of it. America like all of the other Empires before is collapsing under the weight of its Empire. It will be in the dust bin with the other failed Empires before we know it.

  6. Its higher than I thought... after winning 2 games last season we should not even be ranked. Huh? 129 on a scale of 1 to 128? Not being ranked might light a fire under our players so they actually show up. USF loses games not because of a lack of talent, but because of an over abundance of apathy and lack of motivation.

  8. This story is accurate... USF has been reduced to the level of Georgia Southern. I have no reason to believe that they will do any better this season.
  9. Only a matter of time before someone uses a drone to spy on a co-ed in their dorm, or by a pool.
  10. Having a Bulls watch party at a restaurant named Gators and owned by UF grads is counter productive.
  11. Its funny that a newspaper would quote a compulsive liar.
  12. A Bitcoin is a fiat currency just like the American dollar... both are technically worth the same amount of money ($0)
  13. a proud time for USF... a highlight of today's team would look like this... http://youtu.be/jrr5VYjr0Nk

  15. It may be just me, but I fail to see anything constructive in the above post, and I am at a loss to figure out how you can say the ship has sailed with a best-in-conference, top 40 class filled with playmakers. Maybe "hoping last season was a mirage" is an attempt at constructive criticism, but hoping never built anything. I like Wooly's comment about tempered enthusiasm. Fits better with where we are, IMO. Until they win a game, none of that matters.
  16. (1). Winning Football Games (2). Going to Bowl Games (3). Beating UCF
