WoolyBully

I really wish people would say that it's women's basketball in the subject line.

What? And run the risk of minimal views on the thread? No way... ;D

Cindy & I learned a hard lesson about that sort of thing (films where teenagers are present).

Unless the film is rated "R", we won't be attending the theater.  Sounds like FNL may be a rental.  8)

Playboy says its more like "The Last Picture Show" than a football movie. The recomend bringing a towel for the girls to cry.

A classic film about small town Tejas, the good thing about  The Last Picture Show was it afforded the opportunity to view Cybill Shepherd buck nekkid.  

This is just like billiards and drag racing on ESPN. It's an interesting side dish because the main course isn't ready.  :

1.  Voice mail to the boss saying I wont be in.....EVER

2.  Change the logo and colors to really irritate the crap out of board rats.

3.  Robert E. Lee

4.  Whatever the boys on the block want (as is customary)

5.  I'd try to add another player to the field, ensuring I get called for illegal substitution and getting backed up 15 yards. Then I would have one of my players either jump offsides or commit a facemask so we're backed up even farther. Don't mess with tradition. 8)

When you have the talent and skill, you can overcome penalties. We, unfortunately, do not have that luxury.

Ladies...that's why God made Beef O'Brady's, Tampa Ale House, Elmers , etc.  Get out of the house once in a while.

Exactly why can't this game be played during the day? What if it's like 45 degrees that night?

Well...you could wear a sweatshirt.  

I dobut we'll see post-season play.

I honestly don't believe we'll beat either L'ville or UAB on the road. Memphis - apparently - was somewhat over rated, but the only nearly-certain wins I see now are Army & ECU.  

The Bulls - assuming a likely win - will benefit more than Pitt. Not that timing has anything to do with it, but the fact that it will be one more, and quite possibly critical, win.

As for Pitt...it's just another game for them.

Or maybe with the game on TV, why even go if you are a casual fan?

Soooo...do you think when we shift conferences that all these home games will be televised?

Memphis & Pitt...bigger draws than Southern Miss? I don't know...the push on Army is that it's homecoming. I don't know what the magic formula is to get the lower bowl to sell out.  

to be very good at our level of talent we need to play close to error/penalty free football or just smart football

That's it in a nutshell. Back when we were a 1A team masquerading as IAA, we could afford to rack up the penalty yardage and still win...because we were that much better than the opposition. Now, however, the competition is much more improved and we no longer enjoy  the luxury we once had, of being able to win in spite of penalty yardage.  8)

There was one thread (see 'IF you don't like speculation...) about usf going 10-1, undefeated in CUSA and on to a bowl... however, that needs to be revisited.

First, hanging 89 points on the board at TCU tells you something about both TCU and USF.

We lost to Southern Miss, which was not entirely unexpected, and TCU nearly lost to Army.  The TCU low-score close win over Army is much more alarming than us actually losing to Southern Miss.

Fortunately, we have Army & ECU here at RayJ, and unfortunately we have L'ville & UAB on the road.  I don't know what to think of Memphis & Cincy.

Personally, I wouldn't hoard vacation days in hopes of a bowl game this year.  8)

According to gousfbulls.com, that would be....A.J.Brant

After an impressive season on the practice field, he appears ready to contribute in the secondary…Heads into fall as one of the top four cornerbacks, perhaps as the backup to Mike Jenkins…Could also be a contributor on special teams.

Depends on who "we" is and what 'we' want to do.

Main Entry: 1cog

Pronunciation: 'käg

Function: noun

Etymology: Middle English cogge, of Scandinavian origin; akin to Norwegian kug cog

1 : a tooth on the rim of a wheel or gear

2 : a subordinate but vital person or part

- cogged  /'kägd/ adjective  

If you would look at the 2nd entry for cog you will understand what I mean. It's no fun trash talking when you have to explain everything.

Ok...one last chance...what is the relationship between a "cog" and a "latter" (I'm spotting you ten points on the assumption that you really mean "ladder")

Here's what you meant to say "you are just another rung on the ladder".

I agree that it's not much fun talking trash when you have to explain everything, but it's also not much fun when you have to decrypt a post.  Comprende, Jethro?

...consider it done... 8)

Well...you gotta figure that fine folks at Florida Tech aren't really blessed with a lot to cheer about.  As far as a chant goes, maybe they'd like something like this:

With both hands open, slap to both sides of the forehead and chant over and over:

"Oh God! Not Again!, Oh God! Not Again!"

...keep that up for, oh...I dunno...maybe a whole game.

Hey! Make it a contest...see if you can do it for a whole season!

Well...these guys don't just make it up as they go along.  The decision of what to carry is strictly a numbers function...what will the maximum amount of listeners tune into and how can I sell that time to advertisers?

There are a lot more Nole & Gator (to a lesser extent, 'Cane) fans in Tampa than there are Bulls fans.  We average about  +/-20K per home game, so that alone makes a statement of interest.  There isn't a pent up demand for Bulls football that warrants selling the advertising time to foot the bill.  

While there may be a handfull of us (board rats) who live and die by the Bulls,  we are not - by any stretch of the imagination - the lead dog in this community.  I know that there has been some sort of disconnect between DAE & USF going back many years (prior to our time with 1010).

Un uh.

1. No...It's scientifically impossible to win an infomercial.  

   The decision was made long ago, and November 2nd

   is just a formality.  

2. A pair of Nipponese imports.

3. Wrestling  

4. A Beagle named Daisy

5. The entire soundtrack to "Full Metal Jacket".

I do not want to be the one to squash a Bull tradition, God knows we have so few, but having heard the chant in person I am not inspired. I have heard it. I have seen it. I have even seen a BullBacker doing it, but I still cannot believe this lame chant still has life.

Please, let it die now for the praise and glory of the Bulls for our good and the good of all the fans.

...Then all you have to do is come up with a better one, until then...it's just gonna grow!  

It get bigger every week...you can't resist...you must succumb to the chant!  8)

Is that you, John Wayne? Is this me?
