Key word in BULLfreak's info might be "new." Does it really matter 'soup? We will do what we will do and all indications are that it would be done "right." Your skepticsim stinks.

Why not drop the angle that we would be building an OCS solely as a marketing tool. Absolutely not. Mutt's point is there is added benefit to having an OCS and anyone thinking striaght will not argue. Not a tinkertoy stadium, but a nice college-feeling campus stadium. There is more to a college football program than simply whether an offense is considered "inept" or not. Have a little pride for the program and get on board with what would be best long term - not just what addresses the most recent complaint du jour.

A new OCS would draw additional "interest" some of which would be converted to season and individual ticket holders. It's been proven time and time again that people will buy tickets to see new facilities...perhaps they'll stay for the game. I know some people that bought USF football tickets for our first year in RJS so they could get an affordable ticket to see RJS. I think we would see net positives, hence I am been an OCS Champion since our Game One in RJS.

You've got some terrible demons to deal with smazz...good luck.

Why not instead of your typical repeated rant you look it up? Very few others care about it.

Courtesy USF SID Office Late Rally Not Enough As USF Falls To St. John’s, 4-3 QUEENS, N.Y. (May 14, 2006) – The University of South Florida baseball team (21-31, 10-14 BIG EAST) fell to the St. John’s Red Storm (36-15, 15-8 BIG EAST), 4-3, on Sunday, May 14 at the Ballpark at St. John’s. Despite a ninth-inning rally by the Bulls, USF fell short one run dropping the team’s second straight and resulting in a weekend series victory for the Red Storm. Trailing 4-0 heading into the top of the ninth, USF rattled off three runs to cut the Red Storm lead to 4-3. However, the Bulls were unable to get the final run needed to tie the game.  Brandin Daniel finished the afternoon batting 1-for-4, including a two-RBI single in the top of the ninth. Center fielder Jim Cassidy went 2-for-3 versus the Red Storm, while sophomore Josh LeRoy hit 1-for-4. Davis Bilardello picked up his sixth loss of the season, allowing four runs on nine hits and striking out three in five innings of action. Relief pitchers Yuri Higgins and Chase Lirette combined for three shutout innings, allowing two strikeouts in the final three frames of the contest.  USF will host the Stetson Hatters on Tuesday, May 16. The game will be broadcast (tape delay) on Catch 47.

Yes, we really only have 15 members, but each has 140 usernames..

Good point...while it has been more than a year since I have attended a game at RJS, I can recall being in the club area and standing in line for 30 minutes or more for concessions because only one line (out of several in the area) was open for business. Not the way a donor in the club area wishes to spend their time.

Can't speak for all the teams you list, but the Gators have been doing it for years....

So I avoided attributing the hard work to SoJo and his coach, but you still pre-empt anyone suggesting that SoJo learned a lot about basketball and hard work from his coach.  There is a lot of raw talent that never makes it.  SoJo clearly illustrates he has worked hard and improved.  This "god given" talent just came in the mail this season? modified by Bulliever to correct typo

Is it possible to place a silent auction bid for someone else? I will be in Florida two days after the auction night, but that does me no good.

We have a few members that like to go back years and dredge up old posts. I think one of them should go back to last year when SoJo had some harsh critics regarding his play - especially his poor hands and work around the basket. Even at the beginning of this year, many thought he had no chance to be a player in the Association and he's getting quite a look. He has worked hard and certainly improved exponentially. Hats off to him.

No offense, but it must be that reading comprehension thing again...I kindly refer you to the thread's opening post where it is stated: Top of the morning to you Hermie....

Fellow Bulls Fans... The online auction at the Official Site, now features the Jim Leavitt autographed bowl ticket at a starting bid of $30.  Plus there are several, so unless there are more than 30 bids, you may well get it for 30 (but be kind and donate to your U by bidding higher). https://www.nmnathletics.com/sell/auction/AuctionViewItem.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=7700&AU_AUCTION_ID=655&ITMID=4891

For crying out loud..now we have packaged into one the following: Herman Momart/Rueben Horowitz/Ari Hinkeberger/Tony Montana ;D

Well he could not have had a bad camp - it is in June. He has a great camp at Portsmouth... Keep in mind NBADraft.net and DraftExpress are just mock sites...who knows what could lead to one guy falling off and another guy showing up. It's all pure speculation. Sorry to have hurt your feelings so early today.

Draft Express has SoJo at #43 (Last updated 05/10/06): http://www.draftexpress.com/mock.php?y=2006

I'd say the odds are 50-50, but there's only a 10% chance of that.

USF aims for Gators today By BRANDON ZIMMERMAN Sun sports writer May 13. 2006 6:01AM South Florida is familiar with the courts at the Ring Tennis Complex, the warm Florida weather and, of course, the Florida Gators. Coach Agustin Moreno hopes that will help when the Bulls get a re-match with Florida at 1 p.m. today in the second round of the NCAA Women's Tennis Tournament. "They're a tough team," Moreno said. "But we are, too." The Gators defeated the Bulls, 4-1, on Feb. 8 in Gainesville, a match in which USF took Florida to three sets on three of the six singles courts. South Florida (17-5) advanced to the second round with a 4-0 win against Maryland (12-12) on Friday. Neyssa Etienne clinched the match with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Ramona But at No. 1 singles.

He's fallen off of it before, only to re-surface again. He was off the board just before Velcro posted that link. I was surprised to see him there again. Ever trade stocks Hermie?

If only he were in the U.S.A. Maybe we could all chip in and sponsor HowieP as a way to say "It's okay Howie." From the USF Ahletics Auction Item List ( http://www.nmnathletics.com//pdf4/37404.pdf ):

Glazers and the TSA still suck...sorry.
