  1. Score more points than the opposing team 3 more times before the end of the season
  2. That we aren’t allowed to have speakers while tailgating. Literally security threatened to kick me out because I was playing music. Wtf is this
  3. If it fires the offensive line up and leads to improved blocking, I could care less what he tells them!
  4. Blocking is a major role in being a tight end. NFL scouts will take notice of Wilcox's blocking ability as well as his ability to catch passes and run routes. Although while blocking he is not filling up the stat sheet, he is doing the dirty work that NFL scouts will notice and salivate over.
  5. Only one QB is assigned per team (assumed to be starter). Then they can draft more QB's if they like during the skill position draft or general draft (There is a skill position draft, offensive lineman draft, defensive front draft, defensive back draft, and then a general draft I believe).
  6. As terrible as our record makes us look, lets put the season so far into perspective. 1. We lost to playoff caliber team in Wisconsin. I know a lot of us expected for the team to be competitive, but when you sit back and actually think about it did anyone really expect us to keep it close against a top 5 team? 2. We lost to a GT team that we probably should have beat. Had McCloud come in earlier, and had a couple of calls gone our way instead of GT's we win this game. Hell, I still think Cronk crossed the plain and should have been given a touchdown putting us up by 3. This one definitely stings. 3. We lost to an SMU team that is arguably the best team in the conference right now. They are one of the only 2 schools that is bowl eligible after week 6 (Ohio St. is the other) and have a solid win against a ranked TCU team. I am calling a SMU vs Cincinnati AAC championship game. 4. Our two wins were decisive, even with a young redshirt freshman quarterback who is going to make young redshirt freshman quarterback mistakes. I mention all of this to say, maybe it is not the end of the world. I don't think we are good enough to stay competitive against Memphis or Cincinnati, but I feel like we should be able to make the BYU, Navy, and ECU games competitive. The UCF game is a toss up because I'm not sure how good or bad they are this year, and the same with Temple. But I feel like we should be able to ink out another win or two. I think the BYU game will tell us everything we need to know about this team, since they are not bottom dwellers (UConn), FCS (SC St.), or a top 25 team.
  7. Running back by committee. Joiner and Cronk should get around the same amount of touches per game, with the hot hand staying in while hot. Sands should be the short yardage and third down back because he is the most physical runner of the 3 and isn't afraid to run someone over to pick up a first down. 100% agree that Weaver should start over St. Felix.
  8. Notable Adidas colleges: Arizona State, CMU, Indiana, Kansas, ECU, Miami, Miss St., NC State, Nebraska, Texas A&M, Tulsa, and Washington. Notable UA colleges: Auburn, Boston College, California, Cincinnati, Maryland, Navy, Notre Dame, South Carolina, Temple, Texas Tech, UCLA, and Wisconsin. I wouldnt say that UA's list of colleges are better than Adidas. Nike on the other hand (Air force, Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Army, Baylor, Boise St., BYU, Clemson, Colorado, Duke, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Houston, Illinois, Iowa, Iowa state, Kentucky, LSU, Memphis, Michigan, Michigan st., Minnesota, Missouri, UNC, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St., Ole Miss, Oregon, Oregon St., Penn State, Pitt, Purdue, SMU, Stanford, Syracuse, TCU, Tennessee, Texas, UCF, Uconn, UNLV, USC, Vanderbilt, Virginia, Virginia tech, Wake Forest, and West Virginia) would be the gold standard. Anything other than Nike is second class judging by that list.
  9. Might be late to the party, but we made a concerted effort to be known as “South Florida” and then today we have “USF” on our helmets and USF on cbs sports scoreboard
  10. Today is going to be a great day. Woke up to the news that UCF lost, and we will either get another W today or CCS will be fired (win win situation if you ask me)
  11. This was CCS' presser on Monday... Only 4 non-USF affiliated reporters showed up.
  12. Joke's on you, I dont have a twitter! Only instagram, which unlike the prime minister of Canada, does not feature me in black face.
  13. Im actually really glad he clarified that he was Haitian American. I thought he was just American at first. That could have been embarrassing! For real though, props to him and his family for immigrating here legally and making a life for himself. The American dream is alive and well!
  14. Where can I get a "Fire Charlie Strong" flag made in 24 hours? Actually, better idea. I will hold a sign that says "USF Fan. Venmo me for buyout Money. #FireCharlieStrong"
  15. I got it too haha. I guess with the state of the football team the alumni association has stopped trying too.
  16. I did not read all of the posts in this thread, so I apologize if I rehash anything that has already been said. But this is completely stupid in my opinion and is another example of the liberal, overreaching government policies that have turned California into one big homeless encampment. First of all, this law will get challenged and will probably get overturned. Secondly, if it doesn't get overturned, right now CA is the only state with such law. The other states would have to pass similar laws before you would see much impact nationally. Thought #1: I worked my *** off to pay my way through college and still ended up $80k+ in student loan debt when I graduated. According to "the College Board", the average cost of tuition and fees for the 2017–2018 school year was $34,740 at private colleges, $9,970 for state residents at public colleges, and $25,620 for out-of-state residents attending public universities. For argument's sake we will say on average, tuition is $17,795 per year. Housing costs anywhere from $8k to $10k on top of that. When you factor in food, transportation, parking, books, etc., it can cost a total of $18k to $25k, if not more, per year to attend college. So right off the bat, these "athletes" are already being compensated in the form of tuition, special tutoring, housing, food, entertainment, books, parking, in some cases transportation, free clothing and gear, free gym memberships, and the list could go on. There is no need to pay these kids. I would have given anything to have the life of a college athlete and be debt free right now. Thought #2: USF can't even afford to fire their head coach, you think they are in a position to start paying their players? I already feel that college football is top heavy because the likes of Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State, etc. get the best recruits because they have a history of producing NFL level athletes and a history of winning. Allowing these schools that have WAAAYYYYYY more money than smaller P5 schools and all G5 schools to pay their student athletes will only widen this gap, because they can pay more. This bill, if allowed to stand, will be the end of college sports. Thought #3: NFL Players have their fair share of problems, but you think that these 18-22 year old kids who mostly are living on their own for the first time who suddenly came into all of this money will be able to stay out of trouble? They can barely stay out of trouble as it is. I guarantee the arrest rate among college athletes would skyrocket in the first year of them being paid. Thought #4: These schools are publicly funded, which means that you, me, and all of the other tax payers in the state get to foot the bill for these athletes. Idk about you, but I barely want to pay for a ticket to see another USF game this season, I definitely don't want to pay the players to embarrass themselves. TLDR: This Bill sucks
  17. This is awesome @Brad! Just a thought though, assuming the Bulls Pen is going to have a photographer at all home games, have you entertained the idea of giving him business cards to hand out that show people how to find copies of the photos he just took of them? A lot of the bars and big events do this around the area. Would definitely help drive traffic to the site and would probably result in a good amount of new members each week following a home game.
  18. I saw @E.T. and I saw one other person sitting behind me in section 127 with their shirts on, but couldn't make out who the guy behind me was. H seemed to have his hands full with the kids so I didn't want to bother him haha. Crazy that we can all find each other now in a stadium with 5,000 other people
