FYI...EVENT IS DOWNTOWN AT THE STRAZ CENTER.

Thanks for sharing Slick.

Champs of the east with Ws against everyone. Come on uconn. You owe us after the 57 yarder from a few yrs ago. Win and I like our chances in the AAC.  Either way, gotta love the heart and execution of this team. Go Bulls

Great interview. Wish I could have seen him and Egbunu as vets together. 

FSU Game. Where are your seats?

Section and row please?

I still need to get tics. I'm a passionate fan with 2 others. Don't want to be isolated in seminole territory. 

FYI. I'm going but buying through the secondary market. Tickets in the same section(14,15.16)  are about 1/2 the $65 price USF was selling them for. 

Harlan pulled a McNeese State on this one.

BS 2005 Took a victory lap. Saw us play in I-AA transition, 2 yrs independent, and 2 yrs CUSA. 

 

Most excited for Demetrius Hill hitting the D-Line depth chart at  Bull position.  I was never really found of having a LB like Bullock with his hand in the dirt.  With a guy like Hill at WDE it's almost like the olden days when we had a solid pass rush and balanced attack.  Also excited to see Awoleke on the depth chart as I've made several posts about him in the past year, and he has a lot of talent and size.

 

What did you guys think?

Unless I'm reading this depth chart wrong. Bullock IS the starter at the "Bull" position.  Hill is the backup.

It was about 14 years ago that I met Brad's dad while working the information desk at the old Marshall Center. He introduced this sports nut to the drug known as thebullspen.  

So Brad, a big thanks to you and your dad. 

GO BULLS!!!

When Kayman scooped up the ball and housed it I had an out of body experience.

That day ND was out played and out coached. Even God's weather interruptions didn't hel. The only stupid was Kelly's poor behavior before and after the game. He's a Schiano like creep.

What's the buyout on the Wisconsin game?  I beginning to think that the return game never happens. 

UMass is another dud. The joys of scheduling. 

I couldn't care less about those amenities. I'm there to watch the game. If I wanted to watch tv and play on the internet I would have stayed home. 

A little late but here are my observations from our vantage point behind the endzone.

Passing Game

In the 7x7 I was able to watch qb reads on Flowers and Bench. I would say that they were both around 80% good reads.  In 11x11 I remember 6 of Flowers attempts.  I graded him 4-6. The 4 good reads were all check downs to a second or 3rd option when primary route was covered. 1 bad read was a lockdown on primary target and throw into only guy who was doubled covered, although the ball was completed, possible int when other guys were open. Other bad read was on roll out to the left after pressure he had chase whitehead open deep but put head down and ran. 

Overall, I saw very little attempt to stretch the field vertically. 1 incomplete pass from Flowers down the seem. Don't remember any downfield towards the sidelines throws above 10 yrds. 

In pass blocking Defense got the better of Oline. 

We do have some talent at WR and TE.  Clerveaux and Dillon both stand out for me. Tall guys that can move and present very visible targets for our qbs. Adams always a great short routes wr. Tyree McCants looked good. 

Running Game

 Offense really dominated run game for the most part. All 3 backs: mack, tice and johnson look good. Give these guys a little blocking and they will get the job done. Mack great at waiting for the hole and then accelerating for big yards. Tice and Johnson both looked quick too but a more powerful style of running. 

We scored at least 3 times on QB keepers. 

Defense

Team speed is back up to where it should be. Jimmy Bayes looked good at LB. Do not remember seeing Nate Godwin or Johnny Ward playing. Loss of Calloway will be big. Lacked good push up the middle, especially on running plays. Good pressure on qb during passing plays. 

Got the time and wheels so making the drive down from Brooksville.  I will post my .02 later tonight. 

Hopefully we will get some good 11 on 11 work. 

Any Bullspenners going to be able to make it out there to give us some insight?

Big time loss in Calloway. We just don't have the depth to take the loss of a starter at any position, let alone DT. I was beginning to think with Senat and Calloway we were going to have a pretty solid starting set of DTs, but in true USF fashion that is now out the window.  

I agree with smazza. Sure it will be good for med students to be closer to the teaching hospital, less time wasted on commuting. But the big winner is Vinik, who has donated the land (with a tax break given I presume) and in return his lands will be worth a lot more. Billionares do not become billionares by giving things away for nothing.

 

Loved D Jones.

 

Dear Jim,

 

Get someone to edit these articles before they are posted. Numerous mentions to a senior season that never happened.  Just another example of a USF team looking sloppy.

 

Numerous times he used the word "senior" where he should have used "final" in reference to a great season that DID happen. He mentions numerous times that DoJo left early ... just in case someone doesn't read the article and thinks Louk is going senile.

 

Trip you are correct in your explanation and nice use of all capitals in areas to emphasize this. So yes, Louk isn't going senile, but his article is just the latest example of someone not catching simple errors on the USF Athletics website.  Once again, another USF team looking sloppy.

Loved D Jones.

Going to need to drink lots of tequila tonight after the whooping I just watched. 

thanks skin. found one that works http://cricfree.tv/live/watch/south_florida_vs_cincinnati/61352

In Mexico, need help for a website to watch game online.

My go to site firstrowsports.eu does not have the game.  Can't use espn3 here, even with virtual ip through usa website the pop up gets tagged as a foreign ip.

Muchas gracias.

Longtime member of the board, but it has been quite awhile since I posted anything meaningful.

The overall feel of the board and Bulls Nation has been the same as a beach ball without air. A worthless piece of mierda. This type of attitude makes me feel terrible and wish I had the power to change it. 

I am in the middle of a 1 yr bicycle trip from the top of Alaska to the bottom of Argentina. Currently, I am in Mexico. I have watched all of our games this yr with the same fervor as I have done in person for so many years.  What I have seen has often made me cringe, probably more so because I am not in person and feel helpless. Today I saw more of the same; penalties, dropped passes, and missed blocks. But more important was a severe lack of an attitude to change what was happening. It is one thing to lose to a superior talent, but it is another to lose because of a lack of effort. 

Thankfully our Bulls came out of halftime with a focus to execute in a proper fashion. Was it pretty? of course not. Was it smooth? Most definitely not. But at the end of the day we won. And that is all that matters. 

Aa fanatics we must also look in the mirror. We aren't the prettiest job in the land, but we are far from the worst. In the past we have had an underdog spirit that was contagious. Let's regain this confidence and move forward into the future. A future where our offensive players truck the defense and our defense smears the opponent. 

Go Bulls.
