  1. Walk, error, walk. Crazy how one leads to another. All with 2 down. Bases full of Bulls.
  2. He didn't necessarily need to be the "only "QB" available but the most consistently available. Offenses need rhythm and playing musical QBs is never a good option. So yeah maybe last year was a lost year from the QB perspective, unless you consider the fact that at the very least Fortin and Marsh got to learn the system, but, maybe the other offensive players that are coming back had a better chance at developing themselves due to there being some sort on continuity under center. I also agree on the Last posters comment on Fortin, I believe he was supposed to be scotts guy and it just couldn't get him healthy and available to develop any chemistry. End of the day, there's so much we don't know about who was available day in and day out (not just on Saturday) to know for sure what was going on.
  3. Maybe he was the best one that was consistently available? I have heard several great coach use the phrase, "the best ability is availability"
  4. Surprised by that as well. I thought he would at least get first crack at a weekend rotation spot, No one matches his experience and it's not like anyone is coming in with an dominant resume.
  5. I figured it was an obligation to a former Job, but Bentley just lost his in December when Beamer didn’t retain him. Is he working at a high school for the spring, or is it not him? That’s kinda what I’m asking.
  6. Wonder who the New WR coach is, I have seen the Bentley Reports, but not sure why he would need to wait.
  7. Sabbath Joseph hired as defensive analyst at Florida State FSU added to their defensive off-field coaching staff.
  8. well getting rid of our constraints does not change theirs, what happens in the middle of the year when most of them are playing in conference? and yes, they would want to come occasionally, but we need consistency from some of them. you can' just fly by night schedule 10 games. you need some sort of continuity. Notre Dame has found a way to do this by hoodwinking the ACC. BYU uses the PAC 12
  9. It seems to work for the AAC teams that win. and as I pointed out earlier, I think we should focus on being able to beat the AAC before we think it's holding us back.
  10. Its not as easy as you think it is. Scheduling takes two interested parties both of these parties have their own interest in mind. the one that is desperate gets screwed. Keep in mind all the P5 teams are really only looking for one to two games per year with team like USF, and there are 57 G5 schools and a slew of FCS schools trying to get those spots
  11. Not sure if you have noticed, but streaming actually looks alot like TV, in fact, I stream all of my TV.
  12. What was our last AAC game that wasn't televised in some form? and ho many since the formation of the conference? I venture to say very few. Winning culture solves everything, If we take this approach and lose we still aren't generating the attendance numbers. What happens when the big dawgs say yeah, we can do a 2-1 but since we are generating the money we will need a good portion of the gate? no deal? cool go play an AAC team.
  13. How often are Alabama and Florida coming here? How often do we play them at all? In all honestly those might just be one game. The leverage doesn't have to be the bottom dollar amount, maye they get a deal with no opt out clause because we have to have a game that season. Maybe its hey, you need the game, come for free or don't play. It's easy to deal with those risks when it accounts for 1/5 of your schedule.
  14. How much do you think teams are going to willing to pay us to come play when they know we need them? I realize it looks good on paper, but that's just paper, we need cooperation from outside of USF to make it work and we have nothing to offer and excep saying hey, we will come cheaper than the other guys. I don't see how you generate interest by playing away from home. it not like we are the only form of entertainment in town, it's not people will suddenly be feeling the urge to go to USF games by taking them away. It would also work against out general recruiting strategy, how can we tell Bay area kids to stay home if we aren't gonna try and play here as much as we can.
  15. I also think we should prove that we are better than this conference before we act like it.
  16. Well it's a lot easier when you are only having to fill four OOC games per year. Not sure where no issues comes from, teams aren't knocking down the door to come here and play and we end having to pay a few just to fill the four. We have to sweeten the deal to get the big names here and the reality is we aren't going to see all of the ones have scheduled play. The zero home game year is a very real possibility if you have to use 2-1s are your primary scheduling tactic. it's just a bold move cotton, not sure we are in a bet on yourself situation.
  17. Look at New Mexico State, that is much closer to what our scheduling would look like as a independent. We would still be playing mostly AAC, Sun Belt, and CUSA teams except we would need to do it on their terms because we need them, with no conference kick back money and no tv deal. Again that all sounds great in theory but you have to have the name value to consistently get the games of value on the schedule to make it feasible or you end coming back hat in hand to conference you left an the AAC might not take us back. 2-1 is not sustainable for a ten game season especially when the schools can just say, naw here's some money we aren't coming.
  18. again, 10 games per year. You can't fill that on 2-1's, a couple are a good thing and when you take a couple you have to understand that that is going to set you back in terms of home games, it's not sustainable as primary scheduling practice for ten games. Now to your theory, can 4-5 big name home games be more valuable than 6-7? yes, but that is IF you can get four to five big names to come in every year, Right now we struggle, its not like all of OOC games are big, some are Howard and FAMU. You also have to account that leaving the AAC gives up all TV revenu. Are we a big enough name to get our own TV deal? or does going independent mean you give all that up and does the big name games cover that? It all depends on IF you can consistently get the big names to come here to play. Its basically putting our entire future in the hands of P5 saying "Please sir, play us so we don't die". It works for them because of their history and name value of their own, you can't look at them and say we can do that too, we can't.
  19. That maybe true in theory but you are essentially rolling the dice on Teams wanting to play in Tampa. Its not the only great place to play so its not like its that unique. Without a conference we would have to try and fill a ten game schedule, so how many big dawgs could you ge to play on a year end year out basis? The reality you are probably filling a lot more home games with FCS schools. The only two examples of successful independent scheduling are teams with historical prestige.
  20. probably the reputation that comes with 23 conference titles and a national championship.
