  1. We could still squeeze out five more wins, but I'll be surprised if one is Memphis. At least UCiF looks winnable and I'd put Cuse down as winnable too. Flowers was pretty impressive on that drive. It has been a while since we came close to that effort. This team should keep improving as the season progresses, so I still have hope for a few good things. Just the thought of beating the gnats is worth a smile.

  2. I'm excited for this game because it will set my expectations for the rest of the season.    Winning and how we win will say a lot about this team.  I think next year we are more likely to get back to being a contender in the conference race, but there is still a chance this team squeaks into a bowl and after the last few seasons that will generate plenty of excitement.   Otherwise, I can happily contemplate who our next coach will be.     

     

    Makes me laugh remembering all the people complaining that CJL could "only" get us to a bowl game.   "Only" a bowl game would be pretty nice right now.  Too bad we can't also get back to 4-0 with no games on the schedule...  that was too sweet!

  3. Coach Tags started out with over 35,000 fans at McNeese State and instead of building on that, he and his crew have decimated the fan support he started with.  Disappointment runs in both directions.  I don't have a problem with people who refuse to spend 3-6 hours on the garbage being presented on RayJay's field.  It's up to the USF Athletic Department and  coaches to draw people to their product.  They have failed and are failing, as usual.

     

    What really concerns me is the offensive system he wants to run.  It just doesn't appear to be a fun system to watch.  So he really needs to WIN with it.  Winning is always fun to watch.  But if I have to watch a game in which we lose, I'd rather it be a 51 - 48 shoot out as opposed to what we watched last night.  I'm not hating on CWT, but that pound the rock system better be a winning system.

     

    Agreed, there is NOTHING entertaining about this team.  Even the home game they won against Cincy was a painful watch from 18 rows up.

    The on-side kick at the end of the game was pretty cool and it even worked! There were a lot of great defensive plays and most of the game was fairly close. Field position, stupid mistakes and penalties kept the Bulls from pulling this one out. Just hitting the two field goal attempts would have changed the entire nature of the game. It was sad that we seem to have lost our classic fumble forward play and I have yet to see a voodoo play this season.

  4. The Cards are going to the ACC, so them falling to a team that is staying, even the gnats, is better for the AAC which includes us. The rise of the gnats could be laying the foundation for a rivalry that has interest beyond I-4. Once the bus gets rolling we could have a real war.

    It will be much more fun beating good UCF teams, but I'm not holding my breath on this year. Maybe if Louisville comes out flat, we have a chance next week, but UCF will be pumped for our game and right now they have a better team.

  5. 1. Fat boys up front...the speed thing ain't panning out. Maybe when you've got a fine-tuned, hitting on all cylinders, custom ALL pieces in place offense, then you can go for lighter and faster. Until then, grande boys who opted for football since the sumo program was axed due to title IX.

    2. JUCO...nothing wrong with that. 

    3. Shoot for a goal of one penalty per quarter (which would be down from tonight's count).  B)

    And here I was thinking you would just start executing the under performers as an example to the rest of the team. Do you have silver bullets in that nice gold firearm you carry?

  6. We are in a similar situation to where Stan Heath started with basketball. All the coach can do is to continue to develop the players while he works to bring in players that best fit his system. While there are all kinds of questions concerning the abilities of the current players their biggest problem is that they still don't fully know the new systems. Even as bad as things look this team can take some quantum leaps by just learning to better execute the system. While it may be a reach, there is still hope of finding a W or a couple W's.

    Oh and just to be clear, Stan has not yet arrived. While things are certainly looking up let's see if he can do something with the seemingly nice talent he has been able to land and sustain it for more than one "flash in the pan" season.
