There were whiskey and wine glasses that were provided to both MBB and WBB season ticket members this past season.

@John Lewis does USF basketball offer flex packages on tickets? I can’t commit to going to all of the home games, but I would like to go to a handful of games.

Here is an article about NU:  https://omaha.com/news/state-regional/education/cutting-programs-merging-campuses-nebraska-university-leaders-ponder-bold-changes-to-compete/article_35dabe3a-f435-11ee-bb4b-5360b0e1ccb1.html

Here's something interesting from the article:  The University of South Florida in 2020 consolidated its three separate campuses into a much larger, singularly accredited university. Three years later, USF was invited to join the AAU.

I wonder if the stipulation of NU joining the B1G was being able to re-obtain AAU status?

MK will have to pull another rabbit out of the hat if CAAR is heading out. I trust MK to be able to keep the momentum going as long as USF doesn’t make him use a hiring search firm lol. The good news is that many other coaches & players saw that winning can be done at USF 

Maybe CAG can coach Basketball?

What a horrible thing to say.  

Agreed. The man was full of hot takes, but 61 years old seems terribly young to be in hospice? What illness does he have?

App State would have been my dream school to add. I hope some day we schedule a series with them. 

I go up to vacation around there every fall and it's just amazing, imagine having the bulls play up there...sigh....

I think ECU would have blocked them.

I do feel like better teams could have been pulled from CUSA and Sun Belt. I don’t think MWC wanted any part of this, multiple times we have tried and multiple times they have said “naw.”

It's possible Swaim dropped acid before throwing that out there.  

Reminds me of the episode of South Park where all the kids get high on cough medicine and get addicted to watch Dogs wearing hats.

This has to be the most quiet off-season for our football team ever. Barely a peep on the progress. 

I was thinking the same thing.

Golesh et al, must be cooking up something spicy for this season. Can’t prepare to play us if everything is a question mark.

After my first hip operation I decided to read War and Peace. Think I didn't finish it until I was done with the second hip operation 4 years later. Didn't really take me that long but it was a process. Fell asleep many times trying to get through it.

Was it the book or the pain meds that put you to sleep?

Yeah, if you're tallying upsets, I wouldn't peel off a lot of layers of the onion. That was a down year (7-6) for FSU, but again - a win is a win, regardless. Same with three three-point wins over Auburn & Notre Dame. Not resounding wins, but they are wins, nonetheless. 

Actually, you know what, I thought about it some more and I am changing my mind back. Let’s claim all the upsets, and we can let the losers waste their. Death explaining “actually, it was a down year for our team. That’s why you won.”

Intersting. It seem the 4th year Juco QB is winning the battle against the 8th year covid-super senior former bull QB.

 

Who’s the former bull that got beat out?

We definitely have scored some big wins  over the years…my first thought was FSU!

I mean, wasn’t that technically a bad FSU team? If there are such things as quality losses, can’t there also exist non-quality wins?

Not trying to rain on your parade, because I immediately thought FSU as well. I just thought about it some more.

After back-to-back huge wins in the Boca Bowl and USF Spring Game, and our dominating championship in men's basketball, we're a shoo-in to any conference of our choosing.

Oof, roasted yourself.

Any chance we see some iron man football this next season?

I think that would be cool. Tombstones for Ranked WVU, Auburn, whomever else we upset.

Wait. Our AD has ACC connections? 

Am I doing this right?

The biggest threat may actually be Miami.

 

They do NOT want to be in a league with us. If they can't get out of the ACC (then they would not vote to allow us in).

 

It's how we feel about FAU. 

A rivalry as old as time itself. The “West Coast is Best Coast vs the East Coast is Beast Coast, Florida Jamboree Bowl”

I like the idea of USF turning heel.

They really just to need have 5 power  regional conferences with regularation. The power confernces would take a g5 conference and swap out the best two lower conference teams with the top two g5 teams every season.

SEC---> AAC

ACC---> Sun Belt

B1G---> MAC

Pac12--->MWC

B12-->CUSA

I like this idea, I would swap AAC and Sun Belt though. Seems more natural that way.

Do that, and give bids this way 2 each to SEC/B1G, 1 each to the rest and 1 to the G5 as a total. (8 total).

I was originally going to say the same format above, AND 1 in for each G5, give the top 4 week 1 bye (12 total). Then award payouts by final finish rankings. Obviously SEC and B1G would be getting more since 2 in each. Everybody wins

I agree. If it is ONLY FSU and Clemson, I think we stand a good chance of getting invited to the ACC, if we are invited along with OSU, WSU and a couple others the ACC would still be better than the B12; and if the ACC can renegotiate or find that there needs to be a balance of 4 power conferences and hold to it, it could be the absolute best scenario for us. 

That and steal WVU from the B12

How many returners on offense?

Also, D last year sometimes played up and sometimes played down. If they can get to a level of consistency we will be fine.

I think both the ACC and Big 12 either currently has or soon will have remorse on some of their expansion. 

I am not knocking these fine schools, but I think the leagues will regret taking them:

ACC: SMU, Cal, Stanford

Big 12: Cincy, Houston

Not picking on those schools, just thinking that the choice at the time looked good, but is now not ideal. 

There is always blowing it up and combining the best of the two conferences plus the G5 or going regional.

Let’s play a worst case scenario game.

Gun to your head, if our only two options are:

1. stay in AAC after this next round of realignment 

2. Join MWC with a handful of other eastern/central teams joining

what do you choose?

If the B12's next TV contract includes a substantial pay increase (thinking neighborhood of $10M+ per school), plus pro-rata additions, I can see the ACC being in trouble then. Conference distributions will be interesting for the 23/24 year. 

$10M per school seems like so little money compared to B10/SEC.

Also, really hoping that B10/SEC never win another national championship again in anything.
