    I think the sun might be in my eyes for an autumn afternoon game. That's a good reason not to go.

    Immediately after reading this I thought.....

    "Is it Autumnal?".....from the Bud Light commercials and then being sent to the pillory for that excuse!

    ........Even national championship coaches get upset, and USF wasn't even favored against Houston.

    Last Week:

    2). Ohio State 20 - 49 Perdue (29 pts, Urban Meyer)

    In all fairness, I get an upset stomach when I eat that chicken as well.

     

  3. Chad Barr from UcF contacted Tyre McCants to see if he was available to protect the UcF fan base on their trip up to Jacksonville for College Game Day on ESPN.  Tyre told him while he was capable of doing the job, he just couldn't make it because he had a game to play in Houston at that time.  UcF then decided to cancel the trip altogether.

    I think you need to define "major school." In terms of the SEC, yes we are not in that rank for student attendance. In terms of our conference I would say we do a very good job.

    I 100% agree with you in that we do well in attendance comparably to others in our conference.  The problem is, I don't want to be compared to others in our conference because then that's all we'll ever achieve. 

    Grow the fan base, as it seems we are doing, and hopefully we'll get invited back to where the prominent programs are.

    Uhhh...student attendance has not been a problem this year... 

    For as many students that USF has, that is a small amount; better than in years past but still a relatively small amount.  That being said, I am still grateful for those that do show up and as I said, it does seem to be improving.

    However, if you compare it to other major schools with comparable or even less of a student base, those schools have way more attendance from their students.  Our student section would probably only represent about 10% or less of students that show up at those schools.

  6. I miss listening to the Rome show.  At my previous job I would listen to the whole show and looked forward to it everyday. 

    Sure Rome came across as a "Know-It-All" occasionally but it was still a very entertaining show. 

    I think some of the long-time callers were hilarious and RayRay from Tampa always brought the heat. "I don't talk smack, I smack talkers!"

    We broke the new canopy from Sams out of the box today.  Not your normal set up. Have some kind of extension rods that come out of the upper part of the leg that slide into the corner.  Not a big deal, just different.  But it does extend it to 12 x 12.  

    If you're parked in the official lots by the the stadium, I'd wait until the parking attendants move to the next row before setting it up.  The parking lot rules say 10x10 which I used to have but now, we too have a 12x12.  We always have two cars in our group next to each other at our tailgate but the older, disgruntled attendant in Lot 6 said no go even though we explained that we're taking up less space then if both of us had 10x10s up.

    Now, as stated above, we just wait to set ours up until the parking attendants move to the next row and haven't had a problem since.

    Since it is the last home game, and in honor of senior night, DJ will play all 11 positions on both offense and defense by himself tonight.  Tulsa coaches are working hard to figure out schemes to cover him.

    In light of this news, Vegas has upped us from 22.5 to 31 pt favorites tonight!

    We were supposed  to play Wisconsin anyway, so we might as well play them in a bowl game, to see how we would have fared this season.

    I was thinking the same thing.  I'm also thinking that if we beat them, they'll be thinking internally that this is why the cancelled the game with us...just so they can get to this better bowl game then they would have with another L on their regular season record.
