Karter has recommitted to Calipari at Arkansas.

Not a good day for the ladies today, as they shot 4 over for the day, while SMU had a blistering -12 for the day and Tulsa shot -7, relegating us to 3rd place in the tournament.

Round 2 complete.  We have a 6-stroke lead going into the final round tomorrow.

The men's championship starts on the 19th over in Bellair at the Pelican Golf Club (formerly, Belleview Biltmore).

USF went from 3 strokes back after round 1 to a 9 stroke lead toward the end of round 2.

Melanie Green started the day on fire, with 5 consecutive birdies and followed with an eagle.

Hoping the "1%" is a typo...

People leave "the love of" out quite often.  Makes a big difference.

The atmosphere was great and the players were going after it.  The alumni game was a blast and I really liked the sideline MC that gave a running commentary, ribbing some players (get the oxygen ready) along with play-by-play.

I don't know if anyone kept notes on who didn't play but were dressed (if any).

I find it interesting that the nicer side of the stadium faces the practice fields instead of where those tents are.  Are people going to be walking and tailgating over there as well in order to see it?

I think that the Football Operations building that attaches to the south side of the field is what you are referring to. It would make sense that since all the lockers, weight, training, and meeting rooms will be there as it would have direct access to the fields and the IPF.

There were the Brian Gregory bobbleheads...

Stupid question OTD - I see refs at practice.  Who are these officials?  I wouldn't even know how to look that answer up.  Are these conference officials and this is what they do when they don't have games?  Are they local (HS) officials making money on the side?

I spoke with one today at a scrimmage and he indicated all refs used are college referees.  USF has an officials liaison, who brings officials needed for an event from all over the central Florida area.

CAG mentioned to a group of us today that they are looking at late Summer for the groundbreaking. I forgot to ask about final renderings...

I have no filters for spam and can't find where I deleted it and it isn't in my inbox. Got an invite to a scrimmage this Saturday so not going to the Spring Game but really can't figure out what's going in with emails.

How do we make this happen 4 real?

You start by picking an aircraft carrier that doesn't have its island on the approach or departure end of the flight deck.

This brings me back to Malique Ewin. Why did he not stay at USF? And why did he go to junior college instead of another 4-yr school? If he had a change of heart, and according to rules, the short transfer to USF was considered official, it would explain why he played at junior college. If his GPA was not high enough for USF, it could also explain why he went to junior college. So, if his reason had nothing to do with not wanting to play at USF, do we have a chance of picking him up again?

By the way, Malique won a ton of accolades this past year, including player of the year, all conference team, defensive player of the year, newcomer of the year, and more. Dude averaged 15 ppg, 9 rpg, and 3 bpg..... in 16 minutes of play per game.

Could be an issue with grades/academics.

Erik Jenkins has been a great hire by VPMK and is doing a superb job since being hired in 2019 and being promoted to Director of T&F last year.

By the way, Kayvon Webster posted this gem from the past, showing the speed of our players from the Big East days:

The OG has to teach them how it should be done.

Remember the newspapers? Not sure if they exist on campus anymore...

Also, during each opposing player introductions:

1. Big deal!

2. So what?!

3. Who cares?!

4 Get a job!

5. I could only remember 4...

Remember where Selton comes from and what the extra money would mean for his family back home.  For selfish reasons, I hope he stays.  However, I certainly would be happy for him if he decides to start making real money and benefit those he loves.
