  1. Did some digging through the FSU board to see what the buzz is about. Sounds like ESPN has been trying to re-negotiate with the ACC to give them a marginally better deal. ACC is at 30m a year right now, Big12 just signed for 31m a year, and SEC/Big10 are over double that. ESPN realized they could give FSU/Clemson/UNC a raise and still have good value on major brands compared to if they jumped to a big 2 conference. The ACC refused as they were afraid to re-open anything related to the GOR and teams finding a way to get out. FSU's lawyers now think the ACC did not negotiate in its fiduciary role on the behalf of all its schools and can sue to get out.
  2. If FSU/Clemson/UNC/UVA do bounce for the SEC and we are one of the backfills who else would y’all want to make the jump with us? my top 3 would be Memphis, UConn, Tulane/SMU dream scenario would be WVU, Cincinnati, UCF.
  3. taking it a step further, ranking only recruits that have committed to USF since Taggart took over Golesh now has #1, #6, #8, and #9 before even coaching a game
  4. highest ranked recruit since 2012, our last year in the Big East
  5. So far one conclusion can be made of the new era Golesh's recruiting + OCS on the horizon + finished IPF >>>> Scott's recruiting + better conference
  6. Fred Gaskin | BullsInsider N.RIVALS.COM Fred Gaskin - 2024 4 Star Safety for Vanguard (Ocala, FL) on Rivals.com
  7. I hate UCF, but its nice to have a team on the schedule where regardless of how good the teams are the fans and players take pride in winning that 1 game at least. Our new conference sucks, but wouldn't mind loathing a team in there so much we circle that on the calendar. And FAU seems most likely given proximity. Having some extra curriculars around the game like a huge festival on the beach would be nice to distract me from the fact we'd be playing FAU
  8. The Snowbird Bowl? - could make a sick trophy at least The Battle for Alligator Alley? - winner throws up their signage all over alligator alley The Offshore Classic? - both teams are from areas famous for their fishing, week of the game there can be a fishing tourny between the fanbases in the area the games played
  9. was also wondering if there were any questions asked to returning players about any differences between the last coach and the new one
  10. https://247sports.com/college/western-kentucky/board/104579/Contents/the-official-south-florida-steers-game-thread-213350521/?page=1 They seem more nervous than i'd have expected, sounds like their defense has a lot of question marks. Also their coach has never really had an impressive opener, hopefully that continues... 2019: Lost 35-28 to FCS Central Arkansas 2020: Lost 35-21 to Louisville 2021: Beat FCS UT-Martin 56-21, but were only up 28-14 at halftime 2022: Beat FCS Austin Peay 38-27, but were only up 21-20 entering the 4th quarter
  11. Sounds like the networks don’t believe in the product THAT much. If you aren’t SEC/Big10 they don’t need more inventory than 14 teams provides. 14 teams = 7 games every weekend, that fills up 2 weeknight games, 3 games on your networks main channel on Saturday, and 2 on a secondary channel
  12. What I think is more likely than us in the PAC12 or ACC: -everyone in the PAC besides Oregon State and Washington State get picked up by the Big 10 or Big 12 -everyone in the ACC besides Wake, Gtech, BC, and Duke get picked up by the Big 10, SEC, or Big 12 Those leftovers plus the top of the AAC and MWC form a “best of the rest” conference to try and separate themselves from the G5. This is where we slide in. Something like west division: OSU, WSU, Fresno, SDSU, CSU, Boise, SMU, UNLV east division: Gtech, BC, Wake, Duke, USF, Memphis, Tulane, Uconn
  13. Break it into pod scheduling too and travel disadvantage could be minimized Pod 1: Oregon, Washington, OSU, WSU Pod 2: Stanford, Cal, Fresno State, SDSU Pod 3: Arizona, ASU, Utah, Boise State Pod 4: USF, Memphis, SMU, Tulane
  14. I disagree with the sentiment it’s good for us BUT if I were to try to spin it like that…this does show the conferences aren’t that short sighted. Colorado has been terrible recently. makes me feel better about USF still being towards the top of the pecking order of G5’s
  15. TDS guys released their first podcast post getting let go by SB nation they mentioned Jeff Scott had a positive spin on everything and Golesh is a straight shooter, and him telling some guys what he thought their game was lacking forced a couple transfers Take any talk pre games played with a grain of salt but think I’d rather have the guy who tells it like it is
  16. New rules are going to hurt the triple option so much Army is moving away from it. Navy replaced one of their best coaches in recent memory but keeping it Not familiar with the rule change but most media members are talking like Navy are idiots for trying to keep it so feel better about our game vs them
  17. This situation would have really annoyed me a few years ago. Couldn’t care less about getting left behind when we have won 1 conference game in 3 years. Let’s kick ass where we are before worrying about getting tougher opponents
  18. We’ll find out soon, but based on appearances the new S&C coach looks like a psychopath. Which is probably what you want, summer conditioning in Tampa should be so hard the players can’t wait for camp because the grind of a season is easier
  19. On the transit topic, there is a pretty huge parking lot shuttle system a mile away at Busch Gardens…wonder if it would be feasible to get them to let us use their overflow lots and shuttles on game days. they regularly move thousands of people pretty efficiently
  20. On top of this UAB has to replace the entire offensive line that blocked for that star RB
  21. They are a 7 win CUSA team replacing their starting QB and a RB who had 1700 yards and 20 TD’s. And have no coach on either side of the ball with play calling experience at the FBS level if we are winning 5+ games that has to be one of them
  22. UAB may be a more winnable game that I had originally thought. Split Zone Duo had Washington Post and SI writers preview the AAC. The way they described the UAB situation was wild, they both had 100% confidence it was going to be a disaster and they are going to be terrible. Not only does their HC have 0 college coaching experience, the OC he hired has no experience as even a position coach at the FBS level. He has been a GA/analyst for 9 years and now his first chance is as a coordinator. the DC he hired has no college experience at all. He was Dilfer’s DC at the high school he’s coming from
  23. It almost feels like the Times has had an agenda against USF. Our local AP poll voter shows the most bias against our own team. Idk if the Times is funded by UF/FSU alum but for it to always have a negative slant against us for 20+ years through good times and bad and different writers is ridiculous.
