    New home and home for MBB

    in USF South Florida Bulls Athletics

    Posted · Edited by achiever1911

    I don't frequent the UCif rivals board that often. Found this post on there which I thought was very interesting:

    I don't know if this is old news or not but UCF will be playing USF twice next season. They will open the renovated sun dome and then USF will come later and play at UCF

    I'm sure the game will be sold out for sure if there is any truth to this rumor. UCif will have 8k fans in the building! :roflmao:

    Grothe cut by Storm

    Grothe has landed on his feet...

    http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/bulls/content/grothe-orlando-qb-signs-predators

    Here's a transaction rich with irony: Former USF quarterback Matt Grothe, cut loose by the Tampa Bay Storm after playing sparingly this season, has signed with their Arena rival, the Orlando Predators.

    Bulls fans will remember that few enjoyed the USF-UCF rivalry as much as Grothe, who engineered

    and one complete rout, got poked "
    by UCF fans on Facebook and made clear his overall distaste for the Orlando school. And Grothe's pro career got its start -- albeit a short one -- in Orlando in 2010 with the UFL's Florida Tuskers.

    And to add to the nostalgia, Grothe was signed due to an injury to Predators backup Justin Roper, best known for throwing four touchdown passes for Oregon in the Ducks' drubbing of USF in the 2007 Sun Bowl.

    Orlando's first game with Grothe on roster is against the San Jose Sabercats, who have former Bulls receivers Huey Whittaker and Taurus Johnson on their roster. ...

    A positive meeting with Heath (confirmed)

    At last, they meet: Woolard, Heath talk

    Here's the coaching update from Friday's paper ...

    USF's search for its next basketball coach continues at the Final Four in Atlanta, where former Arkansas coach Stan Heath met Thursday with Bulls athletic director Doug Woolard.

    "We had a good meeting," said Heath, fired Monday by Arkansas despite a 20-win season and making the NCAA Tournament for the second year in a row. "We'll visit some more and have more dialogue in the next few days."

    If the Bulls are serious about offering Heath the job, the next step likely would be bringing him to Tampa to tour the campus and facilities and meet with school administrators. Asked if such plans had been made, Heath said "not at the moment."

    Heath, who said Thursday that he was "possibly" meeting with other schools in Atlanta, said he would have a better feel for his plans after "things clear up on my end." He has not been publicly linked to any other openings.

    Three of the four known candidates who have talked with Woolard  Winthrop coach Gregg Marshall, South Alabama coach John Pelphrey and former St. John’s coach Fran Fraschilla  have taken their names out of consideration since Sunday.

    The Bulls seek a replacement for Robert McCullum, who was fired March 9 after four seasons, including a 4-28 record in two seasons of Big East play. Woolard is not commenting on candidates during the hiring process.

    And one bonus note: I'm always curious to see how the South Florida vacancy is viewed nationally -- I tend to think of the current midmajor openings as largely unattractive ones, so I figure Kentucky, Michigan, Arkansas, Colorado and Iowa are seen as better jobs, but not much else. But check out this paragraph from Friday's Chicago Tribune, in a story about the slew of coaching vacancies:

    "Just six involve high-profile programsâ€â€Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan and Minnesotaâ€â€and the rest are at places like Chicago State, Georgia State, Hawaii, Iona, Quinnipiac, Radford and Southern Utah."

    Well. No love for the Bulls there, at least not the same love given to ... Radford (which got filled last week) or ... Southern Utah? Georgia State actually got Rod Barnes, a solid hire, but I think any job in the Big East is good enough to make it on a list of top openings right now ...

    I'm a bit surprised we haven't seen any other media outlets discovering who these other schools are that might be courting Stan Heath. Or at least no outlets that can be seen by the far-reaching eye of Google News ... I leave for the women's Final Four in Cleveland on Friday, so trying to track down this coach gets a little more challenging over the weekend ...

    Tim Hardaway

    NEW YORK (AP) -- Former NBA center John Amaechi, who disclosed last week he's gay, said anti-gay comments by another retired player "demonstrate the need to continue the conversation."

    Retired Miami Heat guard Tim Hardaway said on a radio show Wednesday that he hates gay people, then later apologized for his remarks.

    "I don't need Tim's comments to realize there's a problem," Amaechi told The Associated Press in a phone interview Thursday. "People said that I should just shut up and go away -- now they have to rethink that."

    Hardaway's comments were sparked by Amaechi's disclosure he's gay.

    "You know, I hate gay people, so I let it be known. I don't like gay people and I don't like to be around gay people," Hardaway said while a guest on Sports Talk 790 The Ticket in Miami. "I'm homophobic. I don't like it. It shouldn't be in the world or in the United States."

    The host asked Hardaway how he would interact with a gay teammate.

    "First of all, I wouldn't want him on my team. And second of all, if he was on my team, I would, you know, really distance myself from him because, uh, I don't think that is right. I don't think he should be in the locker room while we are in the locker room."

    If he did find out that a teammate was gay, Hardaway said he would ask for the player to be removed from the team.

    "Something has to give," Hardaway said. "If you have 12 other ballplayers in your locker room that's upset and can't concentrate and always worried about him in the locker room or on the court or whatever, it's going to be hard for your teammates to win and accept him as a teammate."

    Amaechi also detailed his life, in his autobiography Man in the Middle, which was released Wednesday. He hoped his coming out would be a catalyst for intelligent discourse.

    "His words pollute the atmosphere," Amaechi said. "It creates an atmosphere that allows young gays and lesbians to be harassed in school, creates an atmosphere where in 33 states you can lose your job, and where anti-gay and lesbian issues are used for political gain. It's an atmosphere that hurts all of us, not just gay people."

    Hardaway later apologized for the remarks during a telephone interview with Fox affiliate WSVN in Miami.

    "Yes, I regret it. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said I hate gay people or anything like that," he said. "That was my mistake."

    Hardaway has reportedly been removed from further league-related appearances.

    "It is inappropriate for him to be representing us given the disparity between his views and ours," NBA commissioner David Stern said in a statement to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

    "Famously, they're saying in 2007 that homophobia is not an issue," Amaechi said. "While [Hardaway] is not a representative of the NBA or of straight men, there's no point pretending it's not an opinion that is out there."

    It's at least 10 years away for us, and that's if we start planning today.

    =/

    I hate the Glazers >:(

    From today's St. Pete. Times...

    Athletic director Doug Woolard is negotiating with the Tampa Sports Authority for a new lease agreement at Raymond James Stadium. A five-year renewal with a five-year option would leave open the possibility of USF opting out for an oncampus stadium in the next decade.

    I guess Jose's remarks paid off.
