Brad

Keep teaching us...the better informed we are the better we will be able to help. Thanks.

Which one is that? Ari? ;D

Feel better now? I hope all you have to do is cut and paste the same thing over and over again...if you actually re-type the same stuff, I'd think you have too much time on your hands.

That's good! ;D

Courtesy USF SID Office Trio Of Bulls Qualify For 2006 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships GREENSBORO, N.C. (May 29, 2006) --The University of South Florida men's and women's track & field teams will have three representatives at the 2006 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships following regional competition this past weekend. A trio of Bulls will make the trip to Sacramento, Calif. (June 7-10) for the national meet after strong performances at the 2006 NCAA East Regional, hosted by North Carolina A&T State University.  Senior Jonathan Miller (pole vault), sophomore Errol Blackmon (high jump) and junior Taylar Stallings (discus) of the women's squad all reached NCAA qualifying marks/finishes this season. Miller finished fifth in the pole vault at regionals, clearing a height of 17-1.  Blackmon claimed third in the high jump on Saturday, managing a top effort of 6-11 (career best).  None of the 24 competitors in the field was able to surpass that mark.  Stallings, the only Bull to qualify for the regional in two events, finished sixth in the discus (162-1). The top-five finishers in each event move on to the national meet.  Stallings, who was one centimeter out of fifth, advances to the NCAA's because one of the competitors ahead of her will not compete in the discus in Sacramento. Last season the Bulls sent just one competitor to the NCAA's. Also competing at the regional meet for USF on the men's side were junior Stephen Gaddis, sophomore Jarrod Hall and senior Patrick Martin.  Gaddis tied for 12th in the pole vault (16-1.25) while Hall clocked a time of 54.15 in his preliminary heat of the 400m hurdles.  Martin also participated in the 400m hurdles, earning fourth in his heat with a time of 51.74. Stallings also took part in the hammer throw, where she finished ninth following an effort of 182-3.  Junior Megan Malone rounded out the group of USF competitors, earning a share of 16th in the pole vault (12-0).

Right..... The media guide....that's like reading the advertiser's label for Cortisol...and believing it. There's the media guide and then there is reality. The reality was that many thought SoJo had problems with his hands, with footwork, was too light, etc. The fact is he emerged and exceeded expectations. Good to see McCullum could see the potential yet to be developed.

If you don't believe Sol was a huge question mark (in most peoples' minds), you should read the posts from this board at the end of the 04-05 season and the 05-06 preseason.

That sounds great...most of what I have seen in looking around tells me $3 million can build a very nice facility...good to hear. I would not be for dual use even if it were possible. One thing that Athletics seems committed to is doing things RIGHT. I do not want us to try multi-purpose nonsense. We need to build the best we can when we can. Facilities to be proud of. I am with Cubanbull. I think most of us know that the common $100 donation isn't going to build these facilities, but instead the multi-million dollar donors will. Still, I think there should be a facilities fund or something that the regular joes can drop money in from time to time. While we can't all add six zeroes to the end of a check, we'd like to help as possible. Eric, I appreciate your insight on these facilities threads. Many thanks to you for doing so.

I hope so. With every article I research there always seems to be a major donor (often corporate) behind it. Many other schools are getting facilities built and named after a major donor. While many talk about helping, USF really needs some folks to step up with that big donation. The rest of us must continue our parts as well. With that said Eric, I appreciate the insight into the facilities you have seen and the comment on Brighthouse field. I hope we do hear some great news over the next year. Finally, while this is a thread on the Red...I still think a softball stadium is earned (by the program)...baseball can wait. Softball is a likely CWS team in no more than two years. Baseball will not get a sniff the way things are going. We have a well regarded USA Olympics coach at the helm of our softball team that can recruit from just about anywhere. The baseball program needs a lot more than a new stadium to be a showcase sport at South Florida.

I wasn't bringing up anything negative except you.  It was a perfect opportunity for "AD Dull-ard" to see inside your mind and the rest of us to see if you back up your message board insults with any substance when presented the opportunity...or, is it just easy to hurl insults here on the board?  I would hope you wouldn't call him names to his face as that is completely juvenile, but perhaps present something constructive to go along with the name calling you do here.  The message board's automated censor service  replaces "Woolard" for smazza's favorite insult for the AD, so many may not realize that his immaturity here knows further bounds than just what you see here.  He could've been a stand up guy and had a conversation with the AD.  For one with so many complaints and desire to fire so many, it seemed a perfect chance to involve instead of devolve.

I liked those green stadium seats...

I think the announcers have given up trying to be unbiased...they are clearly UCLA fans.

Yeah smazz, did you get a chance to call Woolard "Dulllard" to his face?

Those of you seeking out pictures of nice stadiums ought to include price tags where possible...would help with perspective...
