That is an awesome display Velcro!  We are definitely getting some better exposure.

Yes.  There should be some Bullbackers at Elmer's.  I will also be at Capogna's Dugout in clearwater testing the waters for a possible new site with some other Bull fans.  

Good enough of a philosophy for me.  I'll take it!

Any idea how competetive BE soccer is going to be?  Is this young team going to be able to win a lot of games?

If the offense (Pat) comes to play this could be a shootout.  I hope our young secondary is up to the task.  

Honestly, if you were some "unbiased" expert from somewhere other than USF, would you project us going to a bowl.  We lost at home to Army, going to a bowl seems highly unlikely even if we do become eligible.

Cincy lost to Army and UAB so why would they be mentioned for a bowl?  I think if we win out we should be considered.  I understand cincy is in a better position than us but they haven't played us or UL yet.

Too bad that alumni game has to compete with the re-scheduled PITT game.  That would have probably been a good draw.

Yes.  Well, technically it's called the Pinellas County Chapter luncheon.  

The pinellas community luncheon has been set for Wed.

Dec. 8th.  It will be at the Hilton in downtown St. pete near the St. Pete campus.  $25 per person/$250 per table.  

WIN THE NEXT GAME. That should be our goal. In fact that should always be the goal of any athletic team. It's when you start taking games 3 and 4 at a time, is when you get in trouble.

That is how the team should be thinking Gary.  We, as fans, can look as far ahead as we want.

Sign me up Tim, I'm with you.  Lights and sirens all the way!

Are there going to be any watch parties in Tampa?

The bullbackers host a party in south tampa at Elmer's sports bar and grill at 5602 S. MacDill Ave.

student section looked awesome last night.  I was very happy to see those seats packed.  One day that will be a constant at RJS.

It's been mentioned before by the media and I have seen it every weekend, Sat and Sun.   Time management is getting grossely negligent.  Timeouts, getting out of bounds, etc. have been very horrible this year.  It seems to be an epidemic.

I am glad someone brought this thread back up.  I know this is college football and a lot of things can happen, but after last night I would say we are pretty much out of the hunt for a bowl game.  I mean, come on.  Either Ross is turning that program around or we are just a young, inconsistent team that will leave C-USA quietly and start making our mark in the BE.  

but there is noway that you dont hand the ball off to Hall more than we should have in the first half.  

And up until his unknown injury. I agree 100%.  He is our offense right now.

lost to Army at home during HC.  I can't believe we lost to Army at home during HC.  I can't believe we lost to Army at home during HC.  I can't believe we lost to Army at home during HC.  

Sorry, but that's all I can think about right now.  I feel like I am supposed to write this on the blackboard 50 -100 times.  The defense should be ashamed of themselves.  I hope they grow from this game.  

I should hope he was injured if he was not playing.  No reason not to have him in the game.  He is a stud.

i never had the sense we would win the game

Do you ever?

We made it a game in the second half.  They were doing a good job of handling us up until that point.  If we had that unlucky bounce of an interception after we recovered the fumble it could have been great momentum.  I know all the int's killed us but I think that was a big one.  We still had a chance.

First and goal at the two and we can't get 6, that was tough to swallow.  I don't think they owned us.  I think we gave them the game with a young team.  We did good to come back and make it a game only to give it away.  

Pat is doing fine for a sophomore.  We can't expect miracles.  Some bad throws, yeah.  But he needs to settle down a little bit on the slants.  throws them a little high instead of on the numbers.  He will be fine.  

by no means did they win that game.  we gave it too them (with a little help from the refs).  We shot ourselves in the foot again and it cost us the game.  

We get no home field love from these refs and it seems like we are being penalized a lot more than we deserve. Are we being punished for leaving this conference?  Sorry, very bitter right now and probably too much tailgating.
