BulledOver

Old established American company. A nice sponsor get for USF. Whether you like the product or not doesn't really matter it's the $$ coming into athletics. Personally I like the sound of it over Sun Dome always sounded like a tanning salon to me. 

To Judy Genshaft and her husband, Thank you for your generous contribution. Also Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Savage for their generous contribution to USF football. Maybe this will help to propel this facility along and encourage others to donate. I've only met President Genshaft once at a pep rally she seemed pumped, I thought that was pretty cool. 

Depends on how you cut the cheese...

Interesting concept the 2 person AD job. Football is pretty much a full-time promotional/administration job especially when you have a university that is striving(hopefully) for a practice facility and an OCS and, (hopefully again) a jump into a P5 conf. You need a football guy. Brooks has a pot full of attributes he brings in but of course he doesn't possess the admin experience. He would make a great front man for our program. He and CCS seem to be on good footing. I'm sure he "gets it". Interesting thought. I'm sure countless doors would be open to him. I think its going to take someone who views the above noted items as extremely important for USF and the Tampa Bay community. Sometimes I think football(sports) is not prioritized as much as it should be at USF. As for Derrick Brooks. tough to know how much time he actually spends in Tampa anymore maybe you local guys know?? About 2 weeks ago we were at a Pensacola Blue Wahoos(Reds minor team) game where it was announced that Derrick Brooks was now one of the team owners. He walks on water in this area.   Lastly, as we always say: Go Bull's!

Might catch hell for this but...a couple of those old boys resemble my wife's kinfolk. I'm married to an NC woman..yep from over in the mtns. Can't tell you how some of them get when the Fla Guy is up there visiting..ah, the pic brings back fond memories. Yep sure do...

Looks like the backfield at U of Alabama

Its not enough I got two here at work and one in my personal life. I was hoping to catch a break with Bulls Pen...unless of course they are all the same person...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

"They" are everywhere you must be alert and combative...actually liked your Horror movie nooo thing so you deserved an up arrow. Least we can do to help out the downtrodden.

Looking for additional info on the mini camp. Cincinnati.com Enquirer has an article with pic of three guys they signed but low/behold there's a pic underneath with QF showing off his magic. Reading around those folks sound pumped that he is coming their way. Hope it works out in a big way for Flowers. 

I'm thinking we trade Barnett to fsuwt for cash$(build indoor facility) and a future recruit pick..

Remind me Brad, when you see a rainbow do you make a wish or...look for a pot of gold??  I enlarged this pic to see if I could see the inflate stem on your friend...

enjoy SRQ I grew up there.

Well, I for one hope he comes to USF...if only to see his wife who is a professional surfer...

 

Wow! Look at that cool surfboard!! Nice skeg...

Deadrin Senat Congrats. Another example of one young man's success story. 

What a senior class we had this past season.  Go Bull's!

Alas, comment was a nod to Harlan for what has transpired during his tenure. Tire slash comment was a bit of the old tongue and cheek humor. If you don't understand " tongue and cheek" then I get why there may be some confusion. Actually, only an opinion which are solely my own and not supported by the stations management....opps, there I go again. Calm..

Harlan has done some good things for USF sports. No comparison to the last guy.  He was so disliked even UCF folks vandalized his car...      I would think the USF's job is a pretty good gig plus a great area to live. Someday we may have continued continuity of quality coaches and focused AD, etc. see what happens. Agree or not with the direction / marketing antics of ucf AD, they are now recognized nationally and building a fan base. Hopefully, the elusive conference championships for our football and basketball teams will end soon. Hell, I'm hitting my 70's I can't wait much longer.... Go Bull's!

Taggart will prob be watching the USF parking lot waiting for Barnett to leave so he can lure him to FSU, help him out with his QB woes..unless, he can get his guy out on work release on Saturdays. .? 

An indoor practice facility is a must sooner rather than later. An OCS would be a great addition to the USF campus. It does add something for sure to the atmosphere of a game. Players and fans seem to get more protective/proud. I would think 45-50,000 seat a must. If we build it will they come?? Sadly, there's the unknown. Football fans are football fans come hell or high water but, students have changed in recent years. If we could field 38-40k per game that would be respectable. If 25-30k of those in the stands would cheer instead of sitting on their hands..that would be a stellar crowd. Always Hopeful that a fan base will once again build and show itself.

Our game experience has always been great at away games and kinda drab at home games. Look around and a lot of folks are either preoccupied or waiting for the wine and cheese cart to come by......Always showing USF  pride Go Bull's! 

Whoa! He put a lick on the DB ran over him like a truck. He's living up to the "Mack" motto, "Performance Counts".    Would enjoy watching a bruising running back next season. 

...I'm hoping I make page #11....😜

During the bowl game when Larkins was getting his 15 mins it was funny seeing a big old dude do the splits. I told my wife at the time, if that guy isn't in pads due to an injury I'll bet he catches hell for that move later from the coaching staff. It's not like we were running away with the game so his move may have been funnier to the crowd than the coaches...it kinda shouted, all about Me..

Playing Div 1 college football while working on your degree sounds like a dream for some guys. How many play on the scout team for 4 years w/o ever playing a down in a game? But those guys are an important/critical part of the team. Sometimes in life your parents suck, teachers, coaches, friends all suck too. But, that's life. It's all those ups/downs, disappointments and highs that help you move on and be able to handle what life throws at you. Mr. Larkins very public negative message, with all its personal targets is definitely not the adult way to handle problems or conflict. In retrospect he may see he just stepped in a real pile of ####. Hopefully, he will man-up and go face to face with those he has so publicly named. His messg sign off is go bull's? Bit of a contradiction for sure. Tough to love and hate all at the same time. I hope he learns from this because his next "40 yrs" ain't going to be any easier. 

I know long and preachy, but this kind of public venting is now normal and it sucks. In the old days you call somebody a liar you better be ready for some reaction.

USF has put out a lot of great student athletes over the years. Many talented football players and countless young people who are just great kids this year included. Yes, Quinton Flowers has that something special. He is the real deal. I believe he will find a way to once again, show people that he is a talented winner. Hopefully this draft we will watch a record number of Bull's go on to achieve their dream of playing at the pro level. 

A while ago there was a post about the new Beef O'Bradys tv ad with the Bull's logo in the background which is quite cool. Saw another interesting display on the new Pensacola ABC tv station tonight. It's a promotion for downtown Pensacola. It has a shot of people walking up the Main Street and there front and center, is a woman coming towards the camera in her green USF Bull's shirt. Nice, especially up here in FSU/Alabama/LSU country. Everything and anything like that can only be a positive for the university. Good subliminal advertising...

Just noticed the ESPN article for their All Bowl Team and Whammo! There is our qb "Q"....

now how cool is that? I figured it would be all about the P5 folks but even ESPN had to step up and recognize greatness. Very happy for Flowers and for what he has done for USF. Hope he dazzles them in the NFL. 

They didn't let themselves or us. Fantastic finish to win another bowl game and power5 team. Great team. Great senior class. Wish them all the best for their futures. Thanks for all the effort. 

Hopefully, our progress will carry through to next season. Hopefully, our coaches will stay put. Opinion? Take the bowl $$ and use it for the assistant coaches. Time for USF to step up and get our coaches in-line with the other schools.

Go Bull's! 

Good idea Joe B. Allocation of tickets a big deal. I was reading a post the other nite and they mentioned buying their tickets and donating to students/vets. Went in and did the same since we can't go. Go Bull's 

P5 doesn't want to expand w/ AAC P6 they can't afford to share the revenue. The big boys need the money to pay coach buy outs and lure them in with massive/obscene salaries,perks. College football is starting to resemble the NFL. USF? Best we can do right now is kick the ass of every team we play. Our name is out there we just need to put the......wait for it, . The Complete Game!   Came close at UCF but....didn't close the deal. Hopefully, our Bull's seniors will go to this bowl game wth Texas Tech and make a statement.
