The bickering between O'Neil and Turd on Auman's old blog was a thing of comedic beauty. Welcome aboard. 

Wow. I forgot about O'Neil. He used to go nuts. Some serious tirades.

They really tossed a lot of traffic down the toilet when they changed the login on the blog.

If he wan't the guy here I could see him leaving with Kingston or getting a head coaching job somewhere else. He's done it on the field at Tulane and had seven years training under Kingston. He's proved himself with the pitching staff. The only question in my mind is if he can recruit like Kingston. A great pick in my opinion.

Seems that there is a lot of data showing no real economic impact for professional sports stadium. This says the same about the college level: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00343400903241519. Even used FSU and UF for the study.

I like RJS because it's a shorter drive for me and has nice amenities but an OCS would be cool if it was done right and not on the cheap.

So if I wanted to make and paint USF corn hole boards with the iconic U and sell it on etsy, I'd have to do that? I get merchandisers;  just strange that arts festival hobbyists are treated the same, but I suppose it's reassuring the brand doesn't get tarnished in some way.

This is a good point and reminds be of a few years back when Ubuntu went after a lot of sites for using their logo. They argued that if they didn't aggressively enforce their logo/trademark they would lose it. Others argued that this was not the case. Maybe USF sees it that way.

Yea considering Coach Strong has a track record of dismissing kids from his teams who are not keeping up their end of the bargain off the field I'd assume he did his due diligence. After this coming season DL will be very thin so I'm hoping these guys can come in and compete from day 1. I assume they both have to sit 2017. 

If they stay on the team they should contribute right away. Price started as a freshman and Boyce was supposed to be one of their best pass rushers coming off the bench.

I saw a few "rumors" but Price did acknowledge and apologize for his mistake.

"were dismissed from the team after failing to meet program standards, coach David Cutcliffe" Feb 21, 207

I know the program has sucked for a long time but it's not like football where you need a few good years and a lot of kids to buy in just to start winning. One good get can get us back on track. A few solid guys over a couple years and we're back in business. Also, we don't know what happened at GT. There's a lot of pressure to win there. Not much here. If he could convince talent to come to Dayton I think he can do it here. I look forward to seeing how it goes.

Johnny Jones was fired at LSU. No Florida connections but has been all over the South. He had one losing season in the SEC and coached under Dale Brown.

Interesting to see the path of our previous targets. Dave Rice resigned from UNLV and is on Eric Musselman's staff at Nevada. Steve Masiello went on a rant about this generation being fraudulent and Manhattan is 10-22 and second to last place in the MAAC.

If you are holding your breath on Wilson you will be sorely disappointed. I mean, come on.

Haha. I'm not. It was a joke.

Doesn't look good for us. Marvin Wilson has the USF hat in the middle. Too obvious.

If you're following on twitter use these tags: #BullStrong #USFNSD17

Is the BullStrong thing new or was it here before Charlie Strong? Maybe I've been in too many gas station checkout lines but seeing it on the banner up there makes me think of the male enhancement pills.

Weist says he wants to stay.

Here's a list of possible names:

Ohhh, forgot about the Nevin Shapiro thing. Don't think Judy would go for that. I knew people who played on Shapiro's flag team here at USF. Love the fact that UT would have to pay the assistants too.

Clint Hurtt would be a nice add.

Taggart has never bombed out anywhere.

He kind of did, but had time to turn it around. Strong had as many wins his first year as Taggart did in two here.

5 years $9.6 mil. Years 1 and 2 at $1 mil each which means $2.6 mil a year for years 3-5. Assistant pool is $1.66 mil this year and goes up to $3.4 mil for years 4 and 5. $2.5 mil buyout through next Year and then $1.7 for the remainder it looks like.

 

 

All numbers per Joeys Twitter.

 

 

I heard 9.8, but same otherwise.

 Did any one happen to hear what these two schmucks had to say today on the radio? 

Didn't hear them today but I heard Duemig say something to the effect that we were unrealistic to think we could get Strong. And here's Petterson. (couldn't have been more wrong)

I wish WDAE was covering it so Duemig and Peterson can elaborate on how Strong will never come to USF because we're not a P5 school.

If he brings Jean-Mary and Larry Scott, I'm going to really love visiting the Prospects and Potential Recruits Board every day.
