  1. Wichita State up by about 10 points on Memphis, halfway second half. would create an easier road to final
  2. Yea, but for the price tag I am a bit underwhelmed. It seems more like what FAU and Tulane got versus Colorado state, Houston, and San Diego State. I will be happy to get one, and I don't want to whine too much, but since we are still in the preliminary design stage I just want to throw my honest opinion out there . The design of Akron stadium is one we should take a close look at since that type of design would imo look better, and would be easier to add capacity. And please don't get me wrong since I am still happy and pumped about the new stadium and its a huge positive step for the program.
  3. Don't want to whine too much since getting an OCS is a positive, but the design imo is kind of vanilla. I hope they spice It up a little bit. It looks so similar to Tulane and other group of five stadiums.
  4. Yea, the A Sun is one example where the higher seeded teams received home court advantage. Really sucks that we have no advantage compared to FAU. Would have been fun to have these extra home games. The Sundome would have been rocking.
  5. ECU up at the half by 5. Do we have a preference between ECU and Tulsa? In the second game we would want Memphis to lose? Or do we see Memphis as an opportunity to perhaps lock up an at large? I think i will be a nervous mess tomorrow
  6. Maybe true, but if that's the case than I don't believe Virginia Tech, NCST and Georgia tech make the cut either. Good for USF since I would love to be in the same conference as those teams. And by the way congrats to UCF on a good first year in the Big 12 . Wouldn't mind joining you guys in the Big 12 in the near future. I would be fine with either the Big 12 or ACC.
  7. Just glad Coachella is scheduled next month and not this month since I don't know what I would do.
  8. Its hard to assess where we are regarding current NCAAT brackets since many sites and talking heads at this moment count us as an AQ because we won the AAC regular season; all of course subject to change between now and Sunday. Would be interesting to see where we fall right now as an at large. But then again still so much basketball to be played between now and selection Sunday. i have cleared the rest of my week and haven't been this excited about USF athletics in a long time.
  9. There is a lot of talk about the ACC losing teams. But if i was the Big 12 I would be nervous as well. Kansas and Oklahoma State are probably in a better position vis a vie most ACC teams.
  10. So cool the Dickies arena in Forth Worth is where I went to my first Twice concert. I still have the light stick. I am hoping for quadruple overtime in this game
  11. Probably would look something like this. ACC East; USF, Tulane, Syracuse, NC State, Boston College, Wake Forrest, Virginia Tech, and Duke. ACC West; SMU, Memphis, Cal, Stanford, OSU, WSU, San Diego State, and Boise State. Maybe also the service academies to round it out.
  12. It does make sense though depending on how many teams the ACC loses to the Big 10 and SEC. If its more than 4 I expect Louisville, Pitt, and others to go to to Big 12. Its not bad for us though since there will be ACC teams that don't make the cut, and at that point the ACC will add le creme de la creme of the AAC, Mountain West, and PAC2. And that is where we fit in.
  13. That is great news. Beating Memphis in the semi final might be enough for us. It will be a nervy week. Great to be this close.
  14. Playing for Kentucky, no doubt. But living in Kentucky, especially when in your early 20's; yawn. I don't think I could do it for 4 years. If I was player it would be UNLV, Tulane, Miami, Stanford, Washington, or USF.
  15. I disagree. First of all I don't believe the ACC would try to kick out the California teams. If they leave it will be on their own volition. Possibly the Big 10 or if the ACC falls apart the Big 12. Second those teams are first class programs both academically and athletically and bring value to the ACC. I would love to play Stanford. Furthermore programs like San Diego State, OSU,WSU and Boise State could round out the ACC along with USF, Tulane, and Memphis. But that all will depend on how many teams the ACC loses.
  16. Makes our road a bit harder, but at the same time we might get the opportunity to play Memphis in the semi final, and beating them in the semi finals might end up being enough to get an at large. Scheduling in the AAC is weird compared to some other leagues. Just saw my other team Stetson win the A Sun final and get their first NCAAT bid ever. Our league was still playing regular season games today, while the A Sun already completed their tournament
  17. So do we know already what teams we will be playing in the first round and possible semi final? i guess we have to assume that to make it we will have to win the tournament. I guess it is possible if we beat a Memphis in the semi final, and than keep it close against FAU in the final that it might be enough, but it might not be. Today was tough, but not totally unexpected since every team in the country at some point will have an off day. Still an incredible season and still so much to play for. Lets just start another winning spree starting with 3 straight.
  18. I don't know that the AAC has brought USF down. When we are winning the AAC is a fun conference to be part of.
  19. I am agreeing with flsportsfan83, and I personally would even go higher. Don't believe FAU is a good point of reference for many reasons. One being the AAC is a ceiling for them while we are likely to be in a Power conference within 3-5 years. What is 3 million a year compared to what we are spending on an OCS. How much have we spent on extensions and then firing coaches. If we believe that Rahim can make USF a consistent winner than 3 million + is just a drop in the bucket. The 3 million plus spent will be a good investment when we go to multiple NCAAT, play in sold out arenas, and get into a Power 5 conference since we are finally living up to our potential.
  20. I am guessing the 6 are the ACC, PAC, Big 12, Big 10,Sec, and the Big east.
  21. Yea absolutely some of these are funny, and i think I have been guilty of posting overheated, wrongheaded, comments after bad games, and bad early starts of the season. I was certainly guilty of it after our first loss in football against WKU last season. But I don't remember anyone posting comments regarding either firing Golesh or Rahim. Maybe I am wrong.
  22. I don't believe I have seen one person on this board calling for Golesh or Rahim to be fired.
