  1. Happened to see this today about facilities: http://www.newschief.com/sports/20180311/zier-upgrading-football-facilities-must-for-usf

    Charlie Strong thinks that UT is not leaving the Big 12 but that we need to upgrade facilities to be considered:

    “Somebody has to step up,” Strong said. “The money’s there, and I understand how important the medical school is, but we need to get this done. The future of our program depends on it.”

    The thing that surprised me is out donations. We're at 2,942,660 while UCF has $6,918,969. I thought we would at least be equal. And then when you look at our revenue we're at the bottom level of the schools we're competing with for a P5 spot: http://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/finances/

    Sure hope Harlan gets what he's asking for.

  2. I had no idea what he had been through. Pretty amazing how he survived.

    So around age14, going into high school, I had to learn how to take care of my sister while she was pregnant. I didn’t have a license just yet. I had to learn how to drive, and I had to learn how to pay the bills for the house and the rent and the water with the money my dad sent. Me and my sister had a pretty close relationship, and when she had her first child, I helped her, taking her to the hospital, getting her food. Whatever she needed, I was there for her.

    I think he's a mediocre coach, but he connects with kids, recruits extremely well and now has $$ to pay for very good coaches.  So that may help overcome his coaching weakness.  We shall see...but I can't be pulling for the Noles, even if that makes me a baby.

    This is purely conjecture but it seems that Taggart never got over Harlan bringing in Tomey to babysit him and also that he was inches away from being fired. That's why he offered Strong a spot at Oregon - to stick it to USF. And I don't care if Rocky the Bull is coaching FSU, I will always root for them to crash and burn.

    Co worker of mine went to high school with Chris...mentioned he "was" lazy and big headed.  Not saying that's the case now, let's hope he's humbled himself!

    I know one of his teachers. That's nothing like the person they described. Said he was respectful, hard working and very smart.

    Gilbert could be better. 

    USF history says we're likely to get much worse than him if he leaves. Canales, Rod Smith, Greg Gregory, Paul Wulff... not exactly a murderer's row.

    The play calling is only part of the OC's job. I think he struggled there being too vanilla in many spots. If he doesn't let his ego get in the way he can get much better as a play caller. 

    We have a better budget now but , yeah, no guarantee we get someone better at this point in the year.

    UCF is undefeated and beat Auburn (who beat Alabama no less).  I think they should have fun with it.  It is a nightmare for the P5 which will do all kinds of spinning.  

    We have to remove our UCF hate glasses for a moment and get some satisfaction where we can get it.  If it were us we would be doing the same thing.  Remember the Big 4 billboard?

    Um, yeah... No. This is just delusional. People will think they are nuts. Way worse than the Big 4 billboards.
