Amarri Jackson had a good showing, as did Edwards.
I think he looked pretty darn good last night. I think the past year playing football again has helped his hands/technique and he is ready to become the play maker we all thought he was going to become after the Louisville game.
The way he was looking to get the YAC reminded me of Deandrew for a second and then I was sad because I still miss him.
-
It was his own personal show for the first 10 minutes of the game. His name was still echoing when they had to announce it again. Slowed down a bit but had a solid game.
-
They were wearing Big East stuff for all that matters.

Good turnout and my MVP goes to whomever has been selling season tickets. Very few out there to choose from at the moment. My loss but I am glad to see that things are really picking up in the sales offices.

Ill second that . . . .
PJ will win this job :'( I think the two INTs just doomed Grothe's USF career. It seems like he has to be perfect to win the job, but the other two just have to remain above the totally crappy line. I would like to take this opportunity to remind CJL that Mr Grothe is a redshirt freshman going into his second year like CH and desrves some slack too.
I'm not really sure what I saw tonight. I need to watch the replay and see some stats but I am pretty sure that Mike Jenkins rocks.

"You're probably not going to see much. Our summers are every bit as big if not bigger than our spring."
WHY BOTHER
KINDA TAKES THE FUN OUT OF IT
Yeah Leavitt is really hyping the game. Gotta go to see Grothe in person.
"Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi Matt Grothe. You're my only hope."

After peeking at Bretts rosters, I can make my real pick. This information is so valuable that "preferred players" have been camping outside the Labyrinth for weeks, but now I am going to give it to you for free!! This info is so powerful it can move the line on the game in 20 minutes . . . . .
My gold standard lock of the spring: Green wins 17 -3
When, not if, my pick makes you money you will know that I am the real deal. In the Fall just call 1-866-UA-SUCKA for more free information that the pros know wil win . . . . .

Maybe not so much, but with the new haircut he looks much less like a 70's porn star and more like Norm MacDonald.

There Is No Joy In Splitsville

They seemed like just a couple of wacky, zany, cuckoo, crazy kids in love, bound together by a mutual zest for life and, of course, the elixir of $350 million.
And now, a romance seemingly made in more legal documents than the deed restrictions for a Westchase Quonset Hut has gone kaputski. Say it ain't so.
Alas, the former Widow Culverhouse, Joy McCann Culverhouse, 86, has filed for divorce from her second squeeze, former University of South Florida muckety muck, that young pup Dr. Robert Daugherty, 72.
Geez, talk about robbing the AARP!
This has to be the Brad and Jen split of the varicose vein set.
Who knows what the reasons are for the breakup of the union between these two scamps, but you could make a case that the Widow Culverhouse has had a more unfortunate marital track record than the Bucs history under her very tardy husband.
Making Sure
Ah yes, we all remember Hugh Culverhouse - an ATM attached to a nose.
You'll also recall the tremendous attendance at Culverhouse's funeral in 1994, mostly from people who wanted to make sure.
It was shortly after this dreadful man went to that perpetual fourth-and-long in the sky that the Widow Culverhouse learned her very belated and quite dead husband had been doing to her what he had been doing to beleaguered Bucs fans for years.
Not only did the Widow Culverhouse discover her now overdue husband had tried to stiff her out of inheriting his vast estate, but that he had been a philanderer of Clinton-esque proportions with dalliances ranging from Susan Brinkley, the wife of David Brinkley, to cocktail waitresses and a local Tampa society swell.
Just how a guy who looked like a cross between a melted candle and sasquatch was such a stud muffin is a greater mystery than "The Da Vinci Code." But then again, having a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars can work wonders in turning one into the Beefcake Boy of Palma Ceia.
Off The Clock
It was right about here Tampa learned an interesting lesson - and so did an awful lot of lawyers.
It was this: Hell hath no fury like a Widow Culverhouse scorned who has just discovered that not only was her very overdue husband a miserable waste of flesh, but he was a real so-and-so, too.
It took awhile, but eventually this old, feisty woman prevailed in challenging her somewhat off-the-clock husband's will.
In time, the Widow Culverhouse won her rightful due, as well as control of the estate's charitable foundation.
Who knows why marriages go off track?
The initial paperwork in the Widow Culverhouse-Daugherty breakup simply notes the marriage is "irretrievably broken."
It's probably pretty safe to assume the marriage didn't hit the rocks because the credit cards were maxed out.
Forgive an idle, presumptuous guess, but after spending 52 years of her life putting up with a man who in the end had no more regard for her than he did for Doug Williams, and after fighting so hard to be treated fairly in court, the Widow Culverhouse found herself at a place in her life where she simply is not to be trifled with.
And maybe there's this, too: Even at 86, you're never too young to pursue happiness.
But it's just a guess.
I hope they are well, and the USF checks still flow.

Why can't I vote for the real for the winners Saturday: The fans. Its our only football for months. The real choices should be green, white, the fans and the Glazers (who will profit the most).

Busy day for news ...
Tuesdays are always a busy day as I put together notes for my weekly USF notebook -- this week, that means writing about USF's newest men's basketball player, two potential additions for Jose Fernandez's women's team, the latest on Solomon Jones' pro aspirations and troubles for men's tennis.
Then Tuesday's football practice brought news about Carlton Hill and concerns about his academic situation. Coach Jim Leavitt acknowledged the possibility that Hill won't be available for the Bulls this fall, and that might help explain why he's been talking so much about Hill's challengers, Pat Julmiste and Matt Grothe, in the past few weeks.
You understand how seriously USF's coaches are taking Hill's academic problems when you see them hold him out of practice as often as they have this spring. This is an important time to learn his offense, work with an offensive line that will have three new starters and establish himself as a team leader. And in his absence, both Julmiste and Grothe have taken advantage of the extra reps in practice, playing well enough that both are making compelling arguments to be USF's starter this fall.

QB prospect held out for grade woes
By GREG AUMAN, Times Staff Writer
Published April 12, 2006
TAMPA - USF coaches have been worried enough about quarterback Carlton Hill's academic status that they've held him out of more than half of spring drills to focus on his grades.
The same problems could keep him off the field this fall.
Coach Jim Leavitt, preparing for his team's spring game Saturday, said Tuesday that Hill, anointed the starter entering spring, won't play if he cannot perform in the classroom well enough.
"He's getting his school in order," said Leavitt, who practiced without Hill much of the past three weeks. "It hurts him (on the field). But my concern is to make sure he's got his focus on his academics. If he doesn't make grades, it won't matter anyway. He'll have to redshirt next year."
With Hill gone much of this spring, the Bulls have been pleased by the progress shown by senior Pat Julmiste, the starter most of the past two seasons, and especially redshirt freshman Matt Grothe.
"Pat's the only one who's won a game and been a starter for us, and you can never discount that," Leavitt said. "Matt Grothe's doing very well. He's really competing. The strongest thing I can say about (Grothe) is he's really getting a shot at starting for us. There's no question about that. But so's Carlton, and so's Pat."
So while he's pleased to have three viable options at quarterback, he also enters Saturday's game - where all three will play, along with walk-on Anthony Severino - without a clear-cut starter.
"If you take Carlton out of the picture because of grades, you only have two in the hunt," said Leavitt, who has not allowed his quarterbacks to speak with the media this spring. "Matt maybe has done a few better things than Pat consistently. You have to remember Pat has started and won 11 or 12 games against some pretty good people."
Linebacker Stephen Nicholas, who bruised his knee in Saturday's scrimmage, will be held out of the spring game. Running back Ricky Ponton, who bruised his tailbone, could also sit out, leaving only walk-ons Walt Smith and Ben Williams at running back.

I guess those classes WERE more important than practice.
Also I have boldend the begining of the waffling. When Hill redshirts expect to see PJ again. My heart . . . . its the big one . . . .

All I got was a tassel when I graduated. Times have changed.
This board has got me seeing things . . . I thought I read:
"All I got was tasered when I graduated."
Just had to share that with the masses.

Great to hear the master plan got approved, that only took a single year. You know, even if it takes 10 years thats pretty darn good in USF time. Historically it took 10 years to re-seed the fields.

I remember seeing Woolard unviel plans, but has there been any word on when the project will begin? I did a quick search and wasn't able to find anything.
Thanks in advance.
I guess this is what I was thinking of when I posted. Its just a long term plan and what got approved was a feasability study. Sorry.
Stepping up and into the Big EastThe athletic plan was partially approved by the Board of Trustees on Thursday.
By Chris Gardner
Staff Writer
February 18, 2005
"Why not USF?" Doug Woolard, USF athletics director, asked the Board of Trustees yesterday. "Why can't we have the best athletic department in the Big East?"
That is what Woolard said to the BOT as he laid out the master plan Thursday for the future of USF's athletic facilities. The plan, called the Athletic Land Use Plan, would first realign the "athletics district" in the southeast corner of campus. As it is now, the land allocated to Campus Recreation (such as the intramural fields) and the land used by athletics make a sort of checkerboard. The plan would reorganize the Campus Recreation land into more of a block and place it closer to the residence halls, and would group the athletics land together in the southeast corner of campus.
While lobbying for the plan, Woolard also laid out the Athletics Department's overall plans for the future.
He showed the BOT slides of facilities at other schools nationwide.
"Pictures are indeed worth a thousand words," Woolard said.
He then showed USF facilities in an attempt to demonstrate the need for renovations throughout the athletics district.
Woolard's presentation included a hefty list of facilities he wants to build in the "athletic district" in the coming years, one of which is a new softball stadium.
"We have a perennially ranked softball team that plays in, really honestly, one of the poorest facilities in Division-I athletics," Woolard said.
A new soccer stadium and a new practice field for soccer were also on the list.
"Our soccer field, which takes place inside the track, isn't even the right width or length," Woolard said.
A renovated Sun Dome arena was also on the list.
"The Sun Dome is a tired facility that needs renovation," Woolard said.
A renovated baseball stadium, new men's and women's basketball practice facilities, a new football practice complex, a new tennis complex and a new artificial surface surrounded by a 400-meter track were also on the list.
The BOT conceptually approved the Athletic Land Use Plan, which gives the Athletics Department the go ahead to do internal feasibility analyses and begin fundraising.
Theoretically, costs will be enumerated in the feasibility analyses, as will the cost of facility maintenance. Following the construction of the new athletics training facility in 2003, the maintenance costs were higher than anticipated and a 58-cent increase in the flat athletic fee paid by students each semester was deemed necessary and passed by the BOT.
The fee came as a surprise to students, who thought the facility's costs had already been covered.

I hope you are right about this next year (2006) I can't see an eight win season unless something changes on offense and I have to look at the inability to change these last three years as a stable trend. Throwing to the TE and running the QB more is not a panacea for our ills.
Anyway I see some clear wins (McNeese St., FIU, UConn, Rutgers and Syracuse) some clear losses (Louisville and W. Virginia) and some maybes (Cincinnati, UCF, Kansas, N. Carolina and Pitt). I guess it could get to eight with some momentum.
I completely agree with your excitement about 2007, thats why I mentioned the importance of using this year to prepare for a strong year. I was already looking at it myself, even if not so completely as you, and I can see a Big East title and all that comes with it in 2007. HUGE OPPORTUNITY!! Gotta get the offense on track and two QB's some work THIS year. The defense will always be good enough to win with THE Jim and Wally Show.
I already ache for Kravitz, but I am confident about that side of the ball. Too much determination on the coaching staff and Florida speed on the field to decline too much.
Anyway thanks for your opinions, I always enjoy your posts.

sbien - glad to see your input, you always have know what recruits/players to watch.
How do you see the upcoming year breaking down? I am hoping for a 6 win year, which I don't think is all bad if USF positions itself for a strong 2007 campaign. Please let me know what you think.
-
I agree with E.T.
You saw Leavitt stick with PJ last year after giving him the early hook in game 1 versus PSU. I think he is convinced that he needs to stick with one guy to keep his confidence up and his nerves calmed down. Who that one guy will be . . . . well I bet its PJ again.
(Anyone see the Leavitt show last year where CH said he was looking forward to winning multiple Heismans? The guy can't even win the starting job in an offense that needs a new QB and he is talking Heismans. I still chuckle about that.)

I am afraid that it is a few things keeping people so quiet.
The first thing is that the reporting has been so good this year that there isn't a whole lot to speculate about. God help us all, we know that the QB situation is still up in the air. We know that the d-line is very thin, the o-line is young and the LB's we have are good but the back-ups are unknown. The masses are well informed and dare I say sated.
Second goes hand in hand with the first: We know what we have. There are no great recruits that have come in this year and we are dying to get a look at in the spring game. I'm not saying they are not a good class its just that there are no big names or flashy players that are new.
Personaly, I am afraid that the offense will be the same (minus Hall that could be wishful thinking) and the defense got a bit worse this offseason (Kravitz and D-Line). I also know that the 2006 schedule is harder than the 2005 and all that has my excitement level just about the Ho-Hum level. The pesimists have to be well below that mark.
I may be well off the mark here but it may be a case of if you don't have anything good to say then don't say anything at all.

I am pretty sure thats the one I will post . . . .
Couldn't find a big scanner, but I scanned these in tonight to hold you over. Will go to Kinkos tommorrow.

Like I have said all along, CJL will start PJ this fall I only hope that this competition has done him some good. He looked . . . better . . . yeah better yesterday than he did all last year. He had two GREAT passes with touch on them and everything.
