Are we sure this isn't really Ron Burgundy?

Finally, someone older than me ....

hahaha...actually, I don't think it was 1956 as I think USF was just founded then but it was sometime shortly after that but you're probably right that Walt still has you in the age department.

I still remember tossing the football around with him at tailgates in the the 2008-2010 range and was surprised at how fleet afoot he was.  Would've been a great receiver for USF if only he had any eligibility left...hahaha

It's about time! you joined Walter.  This is the fella who I originally got my season tickets with way back in 2005 and still have them today.  The few years prior to that I was going with my free student ticket.

If memory serves me correctly, he was in the first graduating class at USF in 1956 or something close to that.

Welcome Walter!

So if we end up getting Jim Leavitt back as coach, will a new emoji have to be created to use for disappointment of a post?  I think there would be too much confusion if we kept the CJL emoji as an option otherwise.

If so, what would your suggestion be?

It's nice to see Coach Strong in his USF gear. 

...and to actually show up for a press engagement

5-7 with a win over UCF would make me happier than 6-6 with a loss to them and the chance to play Eastern Michigan in Boca.

Gotcha...that's what I thought but for some reason when reading I thought it could mean the other way.

I'd trade a bowl game for beating UCF.

I voted up but want to make sure I voted the right way.  You are saying you would trade USF going to a bowl game for a USF win of ucf, right?

If anyone has one ticket for a reasonable price in the USF 131 section, I'll be able to meet at the stadium tomorrow.  I should be there sometime around 11am-noon.

PM me and I'll get back to you when I can as I have limited service here in the North GA mountains.

If anyone has a spare ticket to sell for a reasonable price in the USF section 131 for tomorrow, I can meet tomorrow at the stadium to buy it.  Just PM me and I'll get back to you when I can as I have intermittent service here in the North GA mountains.

I headed up to Ellijay from Tampa yesterday for a pleasantly smooth drive all the way here.  Even hit Atlanta around 6pm and although it moved slowly, it was still moving and only added about 20 min extra to the trip.

I'll be riding the motorcycle down from the game tomorrow and like I said above, I can meet to pay and pick up the ticket.  If not, no worries I'm sure there will be tickets available elsewhere in the stadium that I can pick up just to get in the stadium.

Yeah, I'm bringing a canopy for shade, a lot of water, and 2 sets of clothes(1 for tailgating and 1 for the game).

Good call.  I do the same for every game.  Well, a different shirt for tailgating and for game.

Have fun!  Our tailgates are a blast and are basically controlled chaos in certain areas.

Seeing a lot of Deatrick Nichols at the AZ Cardinals game.

I didn't see him out there but did see "D' Atrick Nichols", as stated by Booger McFarland, play a bit.

Its funny but sadly true as well.

I’ve been told up there we’re called Floridiots.

My friend who moved up there a few years ago from Tampa area told me the same thing.  He said after living there and on occasion coming back here to visit, he recognized why even more so.

Eminem is changing his birth name to McCants Mathers

Each week, ESPN has a segment highlighting incredible football plays called "You Got Moss'ed!", named after Marshall Alum Randy Moss.

Well, upon reviewing the plays in his illustrious career at USF, ESPN has decided to rename the segment "You Got McCants'ed!" in honor of Tyre.

You sure that wasn't someone from our coaching staff up there for an interview at Eastern Illinois?........won't mention any names but could it possibly be someone whose name rhymes with Merlin Hilbert?.....although it looks like it would be a drop in salary

........I've always dug these hats too pretty sure they started before the nineties though. 

 

This was the coolest guy ever to wear this hat in my opinion......It was his signature hat in almost every picture of him....

I feel the same way as others.  While, I always want to win when the other team fields their best players so there is NO excuse as to justifying a win, that is the trouble with mobile QBs.

Part of the reason they accomplish what they do is because of the mobility but that's also part of the gamble with scrambling.  You have less of that risk/reward with a pocket passer.

That all being said, I wish Milton a speedy and full recovery.

GREEN!!!!

Perhaps cheering was a bad way to explain my thoughts. I don't want to root against our team. Instead, I wont' be upset if UCF wins and I won't engage in the typical banter with UCF fans because they do have the better team and they have every right to blow us out this weekend.

Lot 6 is where season ticket holders buy parking passes.

Exactly.  This is where we've parked for the last 10+ years.  While I've seen the very limited sprinkling in of opponents tailgates in this lot in the past, this will be VERY disheartening if somehow there are more ucf tailgates in this lot then South Florida tailgates.

Tyre McCants will be serving two turkeys at Thanksgiving as he ALWAYS kills two birds with one stone.

After this game, they plan on tearing down the Rocky Balboa statue and replacing it with a statue of Tyre McCants
