  1. Yes I stated “the opportunity was yesterday”. But the opportunity still lies today in building a fan base for the future. Put the research in now for tomorrow. Do it right today for tomorrow.
  2. They key is to ask your consumer base the questions to figure out a strategy to change the course we are on for long term success. We are no longer in a situation where we can assume.
  3. Winning to what level? 2 games a year or having a winning record? That could take too long. The opportunity was yesterday to fix and develop the fan base. USF needs to be proactive instead of reactive. The time is now.
  4. How many people and what is the percentage on TBS that are from the CCS and CJS time span? How many season ticket holders are from the CCS time? Maybe it’s time for the marketing department to start asking questions to figure out how to get people back in the stands? They need to take a consumer approach and use data to help themselves out. It’s time to invest in getting fans in the stands. No more of this support your team bull. (Maybe they should also stop waiting till the last minute to offer tickets to employees for a deeper discount. Invest if you want people in the stands.)
  5. Why should the students show up? College football is like any other decision in life or purchase. When the product doesn’t fulfill the need, do you keep purchasing it? These are young people who haven’t seen success on the field. Maybe USF needs to give the students more the what they have. Bring excitement back to the games. It’s the little things that sometimes equate to incremental gains.
  6. Randy Shannon went to UCF, maybe we could find a few nickels and pick up Manny.
  7. In the last few years, we needed a quarterback who could teleport or fly. A QB definitely needs legs at USF with what we have.
  8. Which came from his senior year when he had a drop in passing. Was there something more to it? I don’t know. But I’m a data guy and would guess there was and the young man wanted to win.
  9. What I’m saying, is the qb doesn’t play defense. Our defense is playing not so well. So in terms of importance, we need a massive amount of help on defense. This is an area where our quarterback does not play. So, if a qb played the best game of their life, it might not amount to anything. I repeat might. He needs to step up, but in all honesty our successful teams had players on both sides of the ball.
  10. I’ve said this before and will say it again. He’s not on defense and while I’m at it, he’s **** not the coaching staff. I don’t care how important of a position it is. It’s one important position on the field/sideline. I’m sure other teams win with less from a quarterback standpoint. We need a few players to step up. We need this football team and staff to learn from the tape.
  11. I do believe they should have “ran” a different play. I’m just saying the man isn’t a running quarterback. He is a gifted and blessed young man.
  12. I hope the whole team learns from the game film. I hope the coaches learn from the game film. I hope fans stop looking at Timmy as the sole hope for this team.
  13. There also seems to be a reason for his rushing madness. His senior year he passed for over 1500 yards and ran for 577 (63% of his hs career rushing yards). His junior year he passed for 2700+ yards and only ran for 175 yards. People may be taking his athleticism and applying to what he is not.
  14. I may get blasted for this, but Timmy wasn’t a running high school quarterback. That is what we want him to be. He attempted 654 passes and ran 254 times. 72% of the time he attempted a pass. In a podcast I listened to, they mentioned that his high school coach also has stated that.
  15. You must have read half of my post. I said that.
  16. Those traditions have to be built early on with the student body helping to lead the way. Our student body doesn’t know USF or football. It’s a serious problem. That said, we need students (and people like me) to come back to the seats. (No problem calling myself out)
  17. Our fans/student body seem to cheer while we are on offense. I would like this new tradition to disappear like a fart in the wind. Alumni tradition - when you see someone wearing green and gold, say something that centers around the university.
  18. What marketing specifically? National Champion? The Starring Kid? Embracing the bounce house? Being near the space coast?
