I spent my childhood in New Orleans before moving to Miami at 9 years old. I am 37 and been a Saints fan since I was a kid. Anybody over 30 knows how horrible the Saints were. One thing I never did was **** on my own team. No matter how bad we got or how sorry our quarterback was, I always had hope that we would be successful and during our worse years, I was simply happy for whatever wins we got. In the end, my team has finally won a championship and success…well except for the last few seasons. The moral of the story is that USF like every other team goes through their rough patches. You guys aren’t the only team to ever suck. I never went to USF nor am I from Tampa. A matter of fact I graduated from UF and my first team is the Gators. I kind of became a fan because of my Haitian descent. At one point USF had like 14 Haitians on the team and I started watching the games because of that, but as I started going to the blogs, I fell in love with the USF journey to relevancy. (I think they need more Haitian players again lol) One thing that is not cool is how negative the USF culture has gotten. I know you are tired of losing, but s**ting on your own team will not help. Taggart has three years of great recruiting and the missing piece- the quarterback, should improve this year. I truly like Brett Kean and that Juco pick up has some decent footage. I predict Brett Kean will save this team as a true freshman like Hackenberg did for Penn State. We are loaded at wide receiver, so as long as you can throw a half decent pass, we should be fine in the new spread system. Personally, I feel we will have the best defense in the AAC. In the end, even if Taggart gets fired, the next coach will have a pretty awesome squad to work with, so stop being so negative. The future looks bright and the football Gods only reward those who keep faith in their team. As you can see, my Gators have not had much success the past few years, but we have a new coach and all we can do is give him the benefit of the doubt and be positive. Now I know what you are saying, how can I be a fan of both, but, I consider UF my wife and USF my mistress lol To be honest I spend more time in the USF blogs. I am a sucker for a good underdog story like Rocky so the journey is much more fun with USF. Trust me, these hard times will only make the good years feel even better.
