    Know the Foe, WKU

    in USF South Florida Bulls Athletics

    Posted

    Todd Orlando’s last game was against WKU, so he’ll be pretty familiar with what works and what doesn’t

    they let up 24 in regulation before losing in OT. Only 2 teams let up fewer to WKU in regulation last year and one was Auburn.

    Very bend-don’t-break. 571 yards allowed. But on 13 regulation drives they only allowed 3 TD’s and 1 FG.

    forced 2 turnovers, 4 punts, and 3 turnover on downs

    Best and worst case 2023 football senarios.

    Best case? Jeff Scott was most of our problems and Golesh is a wonderkid playcaller. Going up against a MUCH weaker schedule (we get WKU/UCONN instead of BYU/Louisville and UTSA/Memphis/FAU/UAB instead of UCF/Cincy/Houston/Tulane) USF rolls to 10-2 record. At 5-1 going into homecoming vs FAU USF unveils the OCS plans during the festivities, including a new strip of bars a quarter mile from the stadium on the Fletcher edge of what used to be the claw. We crush FAU so bad there is no talk of a rivalry afterwards. Golesh decides to stay after the season because we just got invited to be the FSU ACC backfill.

    Worst case? Todd Orlando is no better than the last couple guys to try and fix this defense, Golesh's offense has growing pains. But with the tempo that means quick 3 and outs back to the worst D in the country. FAU crushes us and Tom Herman leads them to a NY6 bowl, all the talk is about how they made that and a final four in 1 year. While we haven't made a bowl in 5 years and a NCAA tourney in 10. We get passed by another Florida school in relevancy. We finish 2-10. The fanbase becomes so apathetic USF decides to go back and redo the stadium design for half the price, which pushes back the opening date by a year.

    My dream scenario would be this:

    West.                  East

    Stanford.                      South Florida

    California.                    Navy

    Oregon St.                   Memphis

    Washington St            Temple

    San Diego St               Tulane

    Air Force                      SMU                        

    Colorado St                 Rice

    Who would be our protected cross division rival?
    -Cal could be a trophy game. If we win its a Bull market, if they win its a Bear market. AAU nerd bowl type ****

    -Stanford is battle of the bays. 

    -Colorado State is battle of the "why do these teams always suck even though they burn through cash?" schools

    Anyone go to the Luncheon Yesterday?

    This was my take as well. Get on now, or you might not have a seat based on size of stadium and current season ticket holder and donor base.  

    Our player told us they have seen stadium designs and renderings.  The coach with us said the football operations building is the thing they are the most excited about and will help recruiting even more than the stadium.  The players care more about where they train, eat, and sometimes sleep from Sunday - Friday more than they care about where they play on Saturday.   Sounds like the operations building will be state of the art and the Selmon Center is getting cramped. 

    Coach with us also said the Claw land will be redeveloped into student apartment/housing  with retail and bars and restaurants on bottom floor.   Places for students/alum to hang within walking distance to new stadium. 

    The event overall was great. 

    Go Bulls!

    Is that land owned by athletics?

    If they earn revenue from leasing out that land does athletics get extra money that could go towards the stadium debt?

    The Big 12 and the B1G are only interested in increasing value for their conferences and increasing payments for their existing membership. They certainly don't care about what they perceive to be "quaint" rivalries or historical ties. Seems to me that much has been made abundantly clear in CFB since significant realignment began.

    I think you're looking at this in the old way, but we're now living in a new reality. I just don't see the Big 12 or B1G wanting any of these clearly out or bubble schools (although in the latter case, some kind of argument could be made). I could be wrong and time will tell, but I don't think I am.

    100%

    Also the networks are already realizing they are at risk of over extending themselves and the bids got a lot lower for the PAC.

    It’s like buying a house. The network might like one for $x per square feet. Then they might be willing to get an addition at that same price. But they also have an overall budget

    just because they can afford 16 schools for 480 million doesn’t mean they can afford 24 schools for 720 million

    How soon after? :) 

    They should totally tweet out the stadium version of this tweet after the BOG approval just to drive the fans crazy

    “Who’s ready to see the USF stadium renders?”

    then 3 weeks of radio silence on it as twitter fans get pissed off. Then during the Alabama game on national TV Michael Kelly joins the booth right after kickoff and they show the renders on TV along with the jumbotron as he hypes them up.

    Soooooo Board of Governors meeting for 8/29-30 added another committee to the Tuesday meetings at some point yesterday or overnight. 4 out 5 committees for Tuesday have agendas, no mention yet of USF or the stadium. The same 4 committees are listed for Wednesday 8/30, but still no agendas posted there.

    last weeks board of trustees meeting mentioned USF's stadium is going before the board of governors this month so have to imagine one of those committees is taking a look at it.

    Agenda is up for next weeks meeting and mentions Law's goals for the stadium this year are:
    1.) Receive approval by the Board of Governors for debt issuance as required by BOG Regulation 9.013

    2.) Complete design phase

    so two teams that are 7-2 would not be considered a bottom dweller and a top team.

    Ask WVU fans if they prefer the Big East days over their big12 days.

    Or Miami fans if they preferred their big east days over ACC.

    Or rutgers fans....or syracuse fans...or louisville fans

    those programs competed for national championships and were regularly ranked inside the top ten in their former conferences.

    Now they are mediocre.

    I'm not an accountant for the athletic department. I'm a fan.

    I want to see them compete no matter what level they're at.

     

    Seriously, why do fans care about how rich an athletic department is so much?

    rutgers was way closer to being a contender before they joined the Big10.

    what is there left to spend all this extra money on after everyone has great facilities too? Texas spent millions renovating their locker room twice within 5 years, that just seems wasteful

    theyll always be able to poach our coaches with that extra money but that’s about it

    Agenda for next Tuesdays BOT meeting went up.

    on page 97: “Project approved by USF board of trustees in June and being considered for approval by Florida board of governors in August. If approved, project is anticipated to open July 2026”

    see they meet August 18th at JP Morgan in Manhattan, then end of August at UF

    way that’s worded makes it sound like it may be the last approval we need…

    4 star safety commits to USF!!

    I have to say I am verry impressed so far in how Coach Golesh has been able to sell USF football to high school recruits. Tells me is able to connect with these kids and this bodes well for our program.

    Bulls Unlimited with Sharp/Johnston were interviewing players the past couple days and the UF RB transfer said this

    they basically said Golesh is known as a crazy hard worker, can you give us an example of a time you’ve noticed this

    he replied with how much effort he’s spent getting to know everyone. He knows every player, coach, and employee in the building’s name and where they’re from. Think he mentioned he’s pushing all the players to do the same too
