Pick six incoming. Going to be a blowout.
-
UABs uniforms/mascot look like something I’d create as a kid in Madden.
-
Another W incoming. USF wins relatively comfortably.
-
It’s not a conspiracy it’s math.
-
We’ll see. If the presence of the OCS takes actual attendance of a Rice game from 10k to 35k, I’d be ecstatic.
-
It does and I agree. I only point it out for the folks who have been using those attendance numbers in forming their opinions/outlook. Bad data = bad conclusions.
-
I’ve explained this before…USF plays in a 65k stadium compared to other AAC schools in their 25-35k stadiums. That difference and the size of our metro area would allow USF to distribute far more tickets than most other AAC teams. So although everyone may be misleading, the extent to which USF can fudge their numbers is far greater. It’s much easier to say 29k in attendance in a 65k stadium when 10k show up than it is in a 35k stadium. I’m just happy to see some transparency so I can stop reading things like: -our current games are sellouts in the new OCS -the game wasn’t really empty, everyone was in the club suites
-
Right, because publishing 29k “attendance” for Rice when in reality it’s a 1/3rd of that is not intentionally misleading at all. Pretty sure they offered cheap tickets to Hillsborough County School employees, so there’s 15-20k of that Rice figure.

That Rice number is actually pretty shocking considering it was the week following a solid showing against Bama and we have a base of 15k season ticket holders. I’d have to imagine that winning will improve these number somewhat but these AAC scrubs may be more poison than even I thought.
-
So to compare: FAMU “attendance” 36.5k (-14k difference) Alabama “attendance” 65k (-17k difference) Rice “attendance” 29k (-18.5k difference) Glad we can dispose of those fake attendance numbers once and for all. Hopefully those who’ve been misled can reset their understanding of the situation at hand.
-
Yep, rook mistake with our conference foe. Happen to know if I can edit or delete the post?
-
Looking to take the kids and the in-laws if anyone happens to have any freebies or cheap ones.

When 1/3 or more your roster leaves, I have no doubt portal transfers will be contributors in the rebuild. It’s who you are giving up and who you are getting back. The article I posted above did the analysis: 60 All Conference players from the G5 left for the P5. How many All Conference P5s joined G5s? Perhaps the best case to be made is that USF becomes a top G5 team, so although we lose our talent (which gets more exposure because we are a top team - double edged sword), we get the pick of the P4 castoffs and can poach weaker G5 teams players. Can’t imagine it’s going to be fun coaching first year players perpetually but it is what it is.

Oh really? 10 trends, lessons and takeaways from CFB's '22-23 transfer portal cycle THEATHLETIC.COM Where did all those transfer players ended up, what made this portal cycle...
-
So you agree, we will likely only keep the players we can pay. Now let’s compare what USF can pay to what power schools can pay. Trying not to beat a dead horse here but these rebuttals are making the point. Effective last season, this is a pay for play league. How do the Rays do with retaining talent?
-
Exceptions to the rule. For everyone 1 of him, there are 100 Blake Barnetts and Matthew Hills. This is a predominantly one way street.
-
Yes, that reason is more money and better exposure. Nearly all of the examples you are giving are players transferring amongst power schools. Do that same exercise for great players who transferred from a P4/5 to a G5. This system is an upside down funnel, the lower you are in conference/money/brand/whatever, the more opportunities above you players will have as better options. If you are a top 20 school, why bother even trying to recruit anyone other than the best of best high schoolers when you simply can acquire already developed/proven talent by offering…wait for it…more money and more exposure.
-
I’m responding to the folks who think last years transfer loses were an anomaly because of CJS. You seem to be making my argument, good players will leave for better opportunities.
-
And since those were definitely the top 2 reasons (record and coach turnover) everyone left, not NIL money and/or better NFL exposure, then the problem is solved.
-
Don’t disagree with you and perhaps it wasn’t money straight up, but NFL exposure of a P5 now P4 school over a G5 school (as you are mentioning) also ends in the same outcome.
-
Making a general comment about players but not sure why QB would be immune. Last year with limited playing time, BB would have been a prospect to other schools at most. If he continues to ball out the rest of the year, he will absolutely be getting offers and likely (if he’s not already) will have to be USFs highest NIL paid athlete to have any hope of keeping him. What player is going to stay at a G5 school and forego (1) money and/or (2) exposure if they have NFL hopes. This is the new normal.
-
Not sure it’s all that ridiculous when my outcome is based on the recent actual history of USF (and numerous colleges around the country, many/most of which didn’t have coaching changes) while your outcome is based on “hopefully”.
-
We will know in the next 6-8 months but add me to that list of fans. Except for Brown, USF lost every impact offensive player on a 1-11 team despite those players knowing a highly regarded offensive coach from a top ranked P5 school was being brought in. Unless a school has deep NIL pockets, being at the top-ish of the G5 is likely going to be result in “call ups” of your best players who are replaced by 2nd/3rd chance type of players from other schools.
-
My hope for the OCS is simply to make it as an uninviting place as possible to play for opposing teams. Design for maximum crowd noise (like Seattle - 12th man loud), shade for home side visitors in the sun, opposing teams band and fans get the corner nose bleeds, etc.
-
This is the part where I remind everyone that announced crowds, especially in larger capacity stadiums, are utter BS and should be given no credibility. The proposed stadium capacity of the OCS is the ultimate lie detector.
