USFStPete

Through 3 games I've only seen the sideline genuinely fired up one time.  The team takes the personality of its coach, and for a team that was used to fast tempo and aggression last season, this coach has proven to be the absolute antithesis of what we need.

i cannot see how this situation warranted breaking these rules

How do you know? For as badass as you sound with this post, you weren't there.

We may win it all.

It's the NIT.  Just like that Fiesta Bowl game against Baylor a few years back, you're playing a bunch of teams that don't care.  But I think it's really cute how excited you guys are getting.

Starting pitchers have been lights out to start the season.  Could be a really good year if they can keep it up.

Fun team to watch with good offensive potential.  Will definitely be checking out more games this year!

07 team beat better teams although I'll never forgive them for losing to rutgers... Beating auburn and a top 5 West Virginia in the same season trumps the several losses.  

That Rutgers game is the only game in any sport that I feel comfortable complaining about the refs.

This team is more focused than 07.

I'd love to take the 16 offense and combine with 07 defense.  That would be I think a top 10 team.

True that man. Both teams were special for us for different reasons. My answer to the question is this year's team, mostly because of how they rebounded from the awfulness of 2011-14. And a lot of what makes THAT so special is what the '07 team did.

Good luck kid. I disagree with most one here. I am not sure about where he will be drafted, but, from day 1, the kid showed some elite vision and patience to let the play develop, then, he has great acceleration to hit the hole. The new offense wasn't great for him to showcase that ability, but, I fully believe he will be very successful. I wish him well, it would be awesome to have a USF RB starting in the NFL if he can work into that role. 

Totally agree!!  You could see it more his freshman year, that Le'veon Bell-like vision and patience.  Us transitioning into the Gulf Coast offense definitely limited his carries, so this wasn't exposed as much...but could be a great thing for his long-term pro prospects.

As much as this upsets me as a selfish fan, I honestly feel bad for him. He was not given very good advice and it could cost him millions. 

Not given good advice?  The advice he got was from people closer to the situation than you or I ever will be...as in his family, coaches, scouts, etc.  This isn't some NBA hopeful who drops out of school a year early only because he wants to get paid earlier.  It's a running back - the position with the shortest shelf life in all of pro sports.  Who knows what would've happened next season with this team or his health?  Add in the fact that he grew up in a family that wasn't as privileged as 99% of this board and the decision was probably rather easy for him.

If Marlon puts on a little muscle, which he will, watch out.  Would love to see the Bucs snag him in round 4-5 but as long as he lands in the right situation, I really think he could be one of the better rookies next season.  He's got the complete skill set you look for in a feature back.

Mack is projected #19 here:

Role player?  This makes it sound like they're projecting him as a 3rd down back-type, which he's not.  Dude has the prototypical size, speed, and running style for a feature NFL back.  Maybe put on a few pounds of muscle.  When I see him, the runner I'm instantly reminded of is Le'veon Bell.  He's got a little bit of his patience too.

His bias on a number of things, not just against the Bulls, has started to come through so blatantly that it's cringe-worthy.  Like he's becoming the Berman of TB sports radio who is just hanging onto his job for seniority reasons.  And then you have JP Peterson and his awful FSU homerism before him.  Pandora is certainly my savior after Ronnie & T Kras!

Being top 25 at the start of next season, with a Heisman hopeful, will be awesome regardless of where they put us at the end of this season.  And don't forget we open our season a week earlier than 95% of teams next year...extra exposure when everyone is thirsty for football to start

Strong wanted a larger assistant pool and took less money early on because of it.  It will rival P5 schools in a couple years, footnfan1.  Great sign that he really wants to build something long term here.

There will not be a Flowers Mack Johnson Adams quadruple tag team every season. What we should expect is bowl games every year and division championship every few years, a fast offense and at minimum an average defense. 

We should expect to be in the division championship running most years. 

We would not have 11 wins without Flowers or Mack. 

Yea of course we wouldn't, but can you recall a USF defense as bad as ours this year?  We have 12+ wins with even a decent D this year, which we've usually had.  Q and Mack are once-in-a-decade players but our D was also once-in-a-decade bad this year.  My point is Strong will fix that and the offensive recruits aren't going anywhere.

Probably the only school to be ranked  in the AAC in a few weeks

That and I think Q realistically put himself in the preseason Heisman talk with his performance today. All great news for us in the grand scheme

...and it's double digit wins every season. In our sorry conference and with coach Strong coming in, there's no reason to believe we shouldn't get there consistently. Our defensive recruits will absolutely get better, and there are more than enough athletes in FL to keep the offensive talent coming in. And if Q can keep dropping dimes like he did today, next season could be super special.

On another note Wilcox is a beast but he needs to stop turning it over at bad times. Anyways go Bulls!!! And great job coach Weist!

First step towards a relegation system?  I can only dream.

Cleveland Browns.

Loving the semi-ownage of the current ACC.  One thing I can't stand is the 2-7 vs. Rutgers especially since it reminds me of the 2007 sham.  As far as who I'd like to play again, man it would be sweet if the Gators were on our schedule over the next couple years.  We would have a great shot.

Go Bulls!

If you go to the USF ticket site you would purchase tickets normally, and there is a survey to "give them up".

Just a note you still have to pay $10 per order for shipping.

Great thank you!

This is awesome.  Link for those of us who didn't get this email?  Or am I just blind and missed it?

Boggles my mind how Navy is ahead of us by 4 spots.  I wish we would've kept the starters in longer for that game so the score would look more like the one-sided game it really was.

Is Miami in the St. Pete Bowl a possibility?  Kaaya would be a huge test for our defense.

So proud of this team.  Go Bulls!!!

Go Pirates! Nothing to lose baby!!!!
