  1. Hasn't Leavitt made this clear all summer?  I do believe he said that all things being equal, Julmiste would start.  Since then he has not indicated that Grothe has surpassed him.  

    That's the way I have been reading it.  these next two games will be the tryouts for the starting position for the rest of the season.

    Good job getting DW on the Edge. What does Marq think of the offense and PJ vs MG?

  2. I am in need of a reconstruction, I graduated from USF and cannot afford one but I do not blame them. In fact I am indebted to them for allowing me to go into debt to reach my BA degree even though I am not using it.

    What would be enough? The newest hip threads, a car sound system and some tunes and some bling so they can score Sherriff style off the field? $400/week? $1,000/week?

    Who is more valuable a straight A student with no problems who plays womens golf in font of nobody or a stud QB from Miami who is highly touted but is smoking his way to Pearl CC? Are they paid the same? I say the lady is far more vaulable and neither is paid anything other than thier schooling expenses. If they have kids or other responsibilities, than that is what they are, thier responsibilities. They are either getting an education or getting training for the 1:1000 shot at becoming a pro athelte and that is enough.

    Sorry if you do not feel the same, but take a student loan and then tell me how valuable free education is to you.

    ***edited due to drunkenness - my apologies.

  3. #$&* NO!! This is the craziest argument I have ever heard. If you pay football players you have to pay womens shotput players. They are paid enough in scholarships, living expenses and on the job training. Its the worst thing that could happen to college athletics.

    I would rather see no scholarship teams competeing. KILL AGENTS!! KILL CHEATS!! Somebody help me sober up by tommorrow.

  4. LOL you got me all excited and I go to the make a gift button and then . . . . . .

    Its almost laughable.

  5. Im sure your issue lies with the independent contractor that assembled and delivered the paper. The same guys that stick 10 ad supplements in one paper and jumble up Sundays paper beyond recognition.

    Thats what you get when you eliminate FT employees just to make sure you don't have to offer them benefits or a decnt wage. Why pay a living wage when you can get the dregs of society to stand in medians risking life and limb to deliver papers for $30 a day.

    A salute to the pro-union St Petersburg Times for their stand on this issue if you will!!

  6. Bulls aspire to leave a mark

       USF's second season in the Big East should be an easier one, if only because the Bulls get four games at home and three on the road, as opposed to the opposite last season.

    USF's second season in the Big East should be an easier one, if only because the Bulls get four games at home and three on the road, as opposed to the opposite last season. Trips to Cincinnati and Louisville are nothing new, going back to USF's Conference USA days, and the Bulls can check off a complete tour of the league when they visit West Virginia in the last week of the season. With two teams in the national spotlight, the Big East has a chance to improve its national standing, a turnaround that began with West Virginia's win against Georgia in the Sugar Bowl last year.

    TEAMS TO BEAT

    Whether it's Louisville and West Virginia or West Virginia and Louisville, there's little doubt as to the top tier entering 2006.

    West Virginia went undefeated in league play last season and returns two sensational sophomores in quarterback Pat White and running back Steve Slaton. The biggest hurdle in the Mountaineers' path to a repeat? Their Nov. 2 game with Louisville is in Kentucky, where the Cardinals have been particularly dominant.

    The Cardinals, last year's preseason media pick to win the league, are touting two Heisman Trophy candidates in quarterback Brian Brohm and running back Michael Bush.

    MUST-SEE TV

    No regular-season Big East game will have more buildup this fall - or more on the line - than Nov. 2, a Thursday night, when Louisville hosts West Virginia before a national ESPN audience.

    The schools played a triple-overtime thriller last year, with West Virginia prevailing 46-44 after Slaton's sixth touchdown - all after halftime. Expect a big game from Bush, who had 159 yards and four touchdowns last season and won't want to be upstaged on his home field.

    BOWLING MADNESS

    Trying to figure out the Big East's complicated agreements with six postseason bowls? You're not the only one.

    The league champion is guaranteed a spot in a BCS bowl, though with no specific ties to any game in particular. Because Notre Dame is part of the league's bowl agreements, Big East officials will hope that the Irish can earn an at-large BCS berth, so as not to take a slot away from a conference team.

    The next-best Big East team will go to either the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville or Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas - the two bowls will each host two Big East schools (or Notre Dame) in the next four years.

    Next would be the Meineke Car Care Bowl in Charlotte, where USF played last year, but the bowl is allowed to take Navy instead if it is bowl-eligible.

    After that are two first-year bowls - the Birmingham Bowl and the International Bowl in Toronto - played on Dec. 23 and Jan. 6, respectively, and the Big East's final bowl slot is with the Texas Bowl on Dec. 28.

    SUNSHINE CONFERENCE?

    As USF enters its second season in the Big East, its league rivals continue to recruit Florida heavily, with a combined 108 players on rosters from state high schools.

    Team Floridians

    Louisville 25

    Rutgers 24

    Pittsburgh 21

    West Virginia 18

    Team Floridians

    Connecticut 14

    Cincinnati 4

    Syracuse 2

    SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD ONE

    Best name on a Big East roster? At first, we liked Connecticut special-teams coordinator Lyndon Johnson. And it's hard to argue with pesky Louisville freshman linebacker Rodney Gnat, but at 225 pounds, he's hardly aptly named. Our pick has to be Cincinnati running back Miles Davis ... yes, he's a smooth runner ... some big records in his sights ... a little early to be trumpeting his accomplishments.

    COMING IN APRIL

    The Big East did not have a player selected in the first two rounds of the NFL draft in April, the first time the league didn't have a first-rounder since 1994.

    It's a safe bet that Bush will get the conference back in the first round next spring. Five other players who could make the first round (* denotes underclassman):

    Player Pos. Team

    Brian Brohm QB Louisville*

    Brian Leonard RB Rutgers

    Darrelle Revis CB Pittsburgh*

    H.B. Blades LB Pittsburgh

    Clark Harris TE Rutgers

    FIND THE PATSIES

    Which Big East team has the most aggressive nonconference schedule? By a landslide, it's Cincinnati, though the bold tactic could ultimately keep the Bearcats out of a bowl.

    Cincinnati's five non-league opponents had a combined record of 42-18 last year, and the Bearcats have a 15-day stretch in September in which they go to Ohio State, then Virginia Tech, then play host to Miami (Ohio).

    Which team has the biggest cakewalk? Our vote goes to West Virginia, which won't face a I-A team that had a winning record last season.

    Every Big East school is facing at least two non-conference opponents from BCS leagues; Louisville and Syracuse face three.

    TEAM OPP. REC. Comment

    Cincinnati 42-18 Easily toughest in the league

    Pittsburgh 33-26 Opener with Virginia is huge

    USF 30-26 Had Penn State, Miami in '05

    Syracuse 24-32 No I-AA game; well, Illinois

    W. Virginia 24-32 In-state bout against Marshall

    Connecticut 24-32 Faces both Army and Navy

    Rutgers 23-33 Navy only oppo- nent above .500

    Louisville 21-35 Kudos for Miami; little else
