If FAU wins the aac tournament, and the aac is a one bid league, does that make the AAC a low major conference instead of a mid major? Is that the perception outside of the league? When was USF last part of a one bid league?

What’s the tiebreaker? They split head to head and both lost to USF. Memphis was 1-1 and SMU 0-1 against FAU but reading the tiebreaker, I don’t think Memphis’s win breaks the tie since SMU only played FAU once. unless I’m reading it wrong.

Lol I remember when USF students would have a pajama party for the 9pm hoops games and it would be packed. Where are the student organizers to market this all?? Heck there should be tents outside the YC waiting to get inside 

Amiropolis, Rahimopolis, Abdur-Rahimopolis? Where is the new Sheriff to get this started?

I could use the 5 together. Let me know what I need to do. Thanks!

If we don’t get Deion, I’m not going to be happy. Herman was my top choice. 

Ditto, and even if we get Deion,  FAU hit a home run and USF is at risk of being being passed by FAU.

Interested pm me details.

What I saw sitting behind the DBs at the game was none of them cared. They all just sat there. The coach was constantly drawing on the board and not one even paid attention. I never saw a coach speak to them only diagraming non stop and everyone staring off. No one seemed to care. The only passion I saw was when Hansford came over and called them out. None of them gave a crap then either.

Since you're on this board, just ask for a STM that will not be using their free tickets for the game and they can transfer the tickets to you.  It's all general admission so seat locations are not an issue.  Wish I could be there.

GO BULLS!

I am going and looking for 5 tickets for myself, wife and 3,4 & 7 year old kids. After a few days stuck in a hotel room after evacuating my kids have a lot of cheering energy to expend win or lose! If anyone has tickets they are giving away I’d appreciate it! Also when are they going to let us buy tickets?

dang ESPN plus is 9.99 a month now ...wasn't it 5.99 last year? i wonder if i can add it to my dis+ account for cheaper

I pay 13.99 per month plus tax for the Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ Bundle. It may be a dollar or two more for new subscriptions right now.

Two thoughts on all of this realignment:

1. is there potential for antitrust lawsuits as college football consolidates into fewer big time conferences?

2. Can USF afford to build new facilities (stadium, etc,) if they get left behind? Are we better planning everything as shovel ready for if we get called up? Or is it we can’t afford not to? Factoring in inflation, what kind of tv contract can we expect in a watered down AAC?

Where is everyone coming up with $100m per team for the Big Ten? They are around $50m now, I doubt it goes above $60m-$65m if that.

Rumors are that as of today it's $300 million.

The NFL pays less than $300m per team. I doubt it’s even $100m per team.

Wow, I see Demontrey Jacobs and Harris listed but no Donovan Jennings or Brad Cecil. 

Is our o-line supposed to be that good? I thought our QBs have struggled because the o-line sucks and they have to run for their lives.

I can and would be perfectly fine with it however they will find a way to continue to play regardless so no worries.

Wouldn’t be the same. Non conference vs conference title on the line.

Is our number inflated with student fees?

Don’t get regional cable networks up here so this will be a radio game for me. 

I’m getting it on MSG if you get that. 

Thanks Brad! Just moved back to Florida last week so this will be my first home game is a long time. I appreciate it!

Congratulations!

I actually have season tickets so would only need secondary if I do not make the cut or they cancel season tickets like UNC.

If only 10k fans allowed, do they allow students? All students, all season tickets or some mixture? How about the band?

I would think with most teams canceling their seasons that TV would want some decent games to broadcast. With fewer games and fans at games ratings should be high. Maybe an opportunity for us to cash in if we can play anyone from the P3?

I will be there. Staying closer to DC as we are making a family vacation out of the trip. I will most likely have an extra ticket in the USF section and an extra ticket for a tour of Annapolis including the Naval Academy (tour runs 10:30am - 12:45pm) if anyone is interested. I'll know by Tuesday night.

Heck yeah! The more USF going the better.  Not sure how much the tour cost is and what time. Hotels were around 300 to 400 a night in Annapolis except for the Crown Plaza which was around 180 a night. 

My wife, kids and I are doing the Annapolis tour which includes the Naval Academy. It runs from 10:30am - 12:45pm.

If slumming is all the rage and is successful I would love to hear some of the other success stories of DII coaches with no higher level coaching experience  going straight into FBS coordinator jobs and the average success rate.

These may be more one off successes but two high school head coaches to FBS OCs are Chad Morris (became Tulsa OC, now HC at Arkansas) and Gus Malzahn (Arkansas OC, now HC at Auburn).

Any word on Game One Ticket Count?

When you can't even sell out the lower bowl against a ranked Big Ten team that may have the best RB in the country, you can't complain about not being P5.
