And most definitely as a sixteenth seed. 

 

No they wouldn't be a 16th seed

It would make a good case for a CJF retirement party!

I thought you "didn't see no value in psychic pretenders" ...... 

I just need to know if Fernandez has been fired yet.  We can't have all these winning seasons!

I just want to know if we have fired Fernandez yet .....

We are paying ..... just in food stamps

Number 2 seed?  Fire Fernandez!

Each school can decide to sell alcohol or not. There is no NCAA or Conference rule. 

Some campuses are dry, meaning that the school will not allow it, even if Athletics wants to. 

USF started with football, then expanded to all other ticketed sports. Back when we were getting our first lease with the TSA, there were two different rent totals, one with alcohol and one without. We chose the lower rent and allowed alcohol to be sold. 

SEC only allows alcohol sales in premium seats such as suites and club seats.

I measure value as wins per dollar. How good is our baseball team? Plus I am not a big fan of baseball. 

Won the College World Series 2 years in a row.

Pretty sure he pitched in a game v UNC, maybe came in to relieve Shane and gave up a 3 run bomb???

He did get knocked around a bit yes.

It's a long season. If you're a good team, the numbers shake out. Realistically, losing 2/3 to UNC doesn't do anything for our overall goal and neither does losing to FSU this week. Should take 2/3 from Fordham, losing 1 to them wouldn't be a shocker. 6-5 after Columbia sounds about right if we're thinking of making the tourney this season.

Conference play will ultimately make or break our tourney hopes.  Playing teams like UNC and FSU is good for exposure and experience.  Shane looked great, offense looks decent.  Need to mold the rest of the staff

Who wants winning seasons?  Fire the bum!

I think our 2B was our starting pitcher today.  

He's a P/INF

So much for the fictional national title increasing their national visibility

Not sure how many make that trip 3 times a week for basketball games.  Football 7 times a year, sure.  

And I know quite a few who didn't make many this year with the UF team sucking

To build Spectrum stadium we would need a blended average of $2,680 from each of those 25,000 fans assuming there are 25,000 that would give and we would want to build Spectrum 2.0.

That isn't major money and they probably have a few bigger donors on board already.  Maybe even a title sponsor already in the works.  It could be done.

Is there a 1 drink minimum at RJS now?

I want to know where to get the abundance of free tickets for the games so I can pick those up.  And would like to see the top 5 reasons for these attendance "problems" that doesn't include cost.

How many were the cheap seats?  We're now the Wal-Mart of college football.

None, considering the $99 seats are new this year.  And Wal-Mart is worth about $250B so not to shabby for the Bulls!

Meh, consider it you paid for 6 and got one for free last year so the prices stayed the same

How about a 2/3 empty stadium?

 

I believe on average the stadium is less than half full already

I misspoke, they do have a championship game, just not the traditional two division format. However, the point is the same, there is no need to expand as long as their 1 loss or undefeated champion is getting in. 

They'll expand if they feel like it expands the brand and increases revenue.  As of now, that probably isn't the case

Looked like Sugar Shane was one guy tossing beads from the back.

If the lightening started to lose and miss the playoffs they too would fall into the above category 

As would most teams in most cities, but the lightening attendance has stayed relatively steady for over a decade with only some slight drops when the team floundered for multiple years

It's a little different in USF/ucf's situation

 

BYU/Utah is in the Pac12 footprint

USF/ucf us not.  It would be an island school far from the rest.  So having 2 schools really helps out in scheduling/budget concerns for all schools in all sports minus football.

For football, they can sell the each team gets a trip to Florida every year for recruiting angle.

I'm not sure it helps scheduling or budget and I don't see the "trip to Florida each year" angle for recruiting.   I think that's all wishful thinking.
