If we go to the Gasparilla Bowl I will attend, if it is Orlando I cannot.

*Clearly* if we had an indoor practice field we could have practiced taking a knee better.

We may have made some extra points, but we could have executed the taking the knee better.

TAKE HIM!!! GT ! We need a win next year.

We will not allow fans to stand during game... BIG CHANGES !!!

We were not losing to Tulane....

Make Ray Jay fun again!

Unfortunately we like to slow the clock down, run half-back dives all games, and kneel against our rivals! That is the fun we are talking about right there!

Tailgating, cheering and standing are all awesome college traditions but we are being disingenuous if we want to pretend we haven’t ambitiously created a hostile environment to those things while a good portion of fans even on this board have championed it.

I couldn't agree more with you puck. I had to shut down the tailgate early and try to talk my friends to come watch opening kickoff versus GT.

You would think that this would work, but it will take more than just an exciting offense. Our attendance wasn't great in Taggart's last year here, and that was probably the best Offense we've had. Hopefully our new AD has some solutions.

Winning, exciting offensive football, and getting more students involved goes a long way. The school also needs to offer more transportation to get the students to the game and fill up the lower bowl with more students. When I graduated in 08-09 season there was a larger student section then there is now. An OCS will go a long way, but the BULLS need to establish a winning culture and create some tradition. I hate UCF, but they do have some chants and gimmicks such as zombie nation and the cell phone lights to get their crowd involved. I know our stadium will look empty because it holds a lot more people, but we have to create a culture that gets our fans and area involved. The only solution I can think of is win and make USF football great(joking) again.

I am reminded of the UConn game back in maybe 2013 or 2014.  One of the only wins we had for the season.   It was a complete deluge pouring rain.  Most people were in the club or under cover.  My buddy and I were basically alone in our section wearing panchos and loudly cheering and standing.  A TSA dude in a pancho ordered us to sit down. I said no cause we aren’t bothering anyone out here.  We’re cheering for the Bulls.  He motioned to the cop to come down and the cop said if we didn’t obey him we would be removed from the stadium.  True story.

Sounds like he needs to be removed for ruining the atmosphere. Motion the cop for him next time!

If you want to get casual fans more involved they need to bring back the offense and play making abilities on offense and defense. Nothing gets a crowd more pumped up then a touchdown or  a big turnover!

Here is the most recent debate on standing or excessive celebration. 

 I have plenty more I can provide you over the years, if anyone is interested. Including going back to 2005. 

Or the time I got arrested for standing and cheering because it obstructed the view of the non-paid employee seats that line the lower bowl.

I tailgate and cheer my bulls on! If I stand, stand up, get loud, and join me. Unless you are handicap and can't!

You guys think we'll be ranked to start 2019?

I'm sure he caught a ton at Texas too.

An FSU fan posted a photoshopped pic of Taggart being lynched. I think Gilbert has it pretty easy here with regards to the fan base.

That was downright despicable and degrading. 

We need football that makes people want to cheer again. We dont have any explosive or exciting offense. Our defense lacks the turnovers and big play ability it has had in the past. If you want the crowd to get in the game; Coach Strong and Gilbert need to give them a team that brings energy and tenacity . Look at the Lightning, before Vinik took over the team they were a joke.Now they have the best product and crowd in Tampa and the NHL.

That decision should have sealed his fate. 

It is like he already penciled us in for a loss and didn't want to battle through adversity for a win.

All I know is our fans better not go low like the FSU fans.

Sad thing is if we play GT at any other point in our schedule, we lose. 

Maybe we get them in a BOWL!

I think that was the most gutless move we’ve seen, possibly ever. We knew they were getting the ball back after half too. We should’ve tried to do something. That play sealed the deal, and left no doubts that we weren’t even trying to compete

It showed the fans and players that are not playing to win.

1. I’d love this move.

2. File it under Never Going to Happen.

USF doesn’t have the nuts to go big like this.

Best hire of all-time but his offense moves the ball quickly. Fast paced offense goes against everything STRONG stands for.

People are looking at different things. Some see a record that is ok and a season that went 7-5 with a lot of injuries and talent having left. Others see a team that has not utilized talent since game 1 of 2017 and playcalling that is not going to appeal to the fan base and a team that is getting demonstrably worse. You look at the record and personnel and you think CCS can have another year. I look at the playcalling, players not developing and the CCS demeanor and I see way too many things that concern me to allow him to stay. I think another year of CCS is more of a gamble than cutting him loose now while it's cheap. He simply, like Holtz, doesn't look like a fit for the players and the program.

We beat GT then got consistently worse on offense since the win.

The idea that we’re firing Strong is comical. We knew this would be a rebuilding year. Let’s see how 2019 goes. Realistically, 2020 might be in the table unless it all goes to hell.

I support Strong!

You are okay with the terrible play calling all year on offense? What is your solution bore the piss out of the fan base while losing?

crazy game

Best game this weekend!

IF QF did say that, we have the support of one of the USF GOATS! Fire the staff! 

We need to recruit bigger and faster players that execute the HB DIVE.

Check your mail. I sent you a long message about what I know and don't know. Figured it wasn't good public board material since it would blow up for both xCWT and CCS.

Make it public with a screenshot or it didn't happen.

Nah,  was better to move 3 or 4 establshed, players that were proven at a few other positions. Move them around and weaken the entire defense than to put acouple of younger guys that are actually linebackers or guys that have played LB in the past. 

I can't even argue with your statement. I would rather start 3 young guys and have solid D-line and DB play.
