USF 52 - 24 Wright Atkins 515

No kidding. The author should have at least mentioned AAU status and the upcoming new stadium. Or used Chat GPT... "What are the reasons a power five conference would want to invite the University of South Florida? ChatGPT: Power Five conferences might consider inviting the University of South Florida for several reasons: Market Expansion: USF's location in a rapidly growing and diverse region, including the Tampa Bay area, can provide the conference with access to new markets and fans. Television Market: Tampa is a significant television market, and adding USF could enhance the conference's TV ratings and potential revenue. Recruiting Grounds: Florida is a hotbed for high school football talent, and adding USF could strengthen the conference's recruiting base. Academic Reputation: USF's academic programs and research initiatives can contribute positively to the conference's academic standing. Growth Potential: The university's commitment to investing in its athletic programs and facilities can make it an attractive candidate for a Power Five conference. Regional Rivalries: USF's inclusion may enhance or create regional rivalries within the conference, boosting fan engagement and attendance.

FAU being mad at us is like somebody's yappy dog getting mad because we happen to be walking nearby. It's confusing and humorous until that little pup gets its teeth in your ankle and you realize it's actually pretty tough.

Brito is my favorite player on this team. She brings joy and an element of fire and fun to the game. I hope she doesn't lose that as she matures. Dobras used to have that flash back in the day. I still remember him dishing a fast break pass in the lane under his leg mid-jump for a Fred Lewis layup. As long as Brito picks her moments to be flashy and is smarter about it, I say let her cook!

No bueno. Hope she gets out there in time for the Final Four run.

The game itself was pretty entertaining in my opinion. Lots of drama and tons of offense. Bad final result, of course, but it was a roller coaster game in a roller coaster year.... Maybe we should be sponsored by Busch Gardens. Still thinking 6 or 7 wins is realistic for us this season.

1) USF 2) 18 3) Youngblood - 17 4) Pryor - 11 5) 70%

1) USF 2) 35-17 3) Atkins 4) Brown 5) 437

Hard to know yet, of course, but I think we may have something special with this group. I like how all of these guys play on defense and offense. The ball moved well and shots fell. It was an exciting brand of hoops to watch. Hopefully, it wasn't all just the lower level of competition tonight. I'm actually pretty excited about this season now. Go Bulls!

One possibility?

USF 48-24 B. Brown Atkins 520

Nice analysis. So, outside of the obvious "blue blood" college programs there's nothing really inherently unique in what we've seen with USF football win-loss records in our short history. I know we are all looking forward to our turn on the upswing side of this roller coaster ride.

I enjoy sports history. I'm wondering if there is any tangible direct relationship between past teams' win-loss records and future teams' records. I'm sure there are one or two sports geniuses on TBP that can answer that for us. Standing by...

Just a quick reminder... USF Bulls are we, We hold our standard upright and free. For Green and Gold we stand united. Our beacon lighted and noble to see. USF Bulls are we, For USF we'll always be. With all our might we fight the battle here and now, and we will win the victory! If you sang that in your head just now, congrats! You are a Bulls fan! If you don't know that tune then this may not be the ideal place to get your college sports info and realignment rumors.

So true. Sports can also be heartbreaking. I wonder how many Houston fans didn't get to see the hail Mary because they turned off the game in frustration and anger? (Oh, and never say 4th and 24 in front of me again... )

I tuned in purely by chance with 5 minutes to go in the 4th. What a roller coaster ride for those fans. Sports is so fun sometimes.

I'm taking this as a clue that Lucy finally did not pull the football away, meaning we're in the ACC, Baby!!

1.) USF 2.) 49-17 3.) B.Brown 4.) Atkins 5.) 525

It's funny to me how this board has created those same shared memories and experiences for so many of us.

I've always felt since the good ol' Big East days that there is a mutual respect between WVU and USF fans. Would love to see them with us in the ACC or at least on our schedule again.

Just remembered to put up my USF flag outside. We are good to go now.
