Hey redbird. Hope you're enjoying that Florida weather. Normal is under a blizzard warning for late tonight through tomorrow morning. Can't wait....NOT! Can't wait to get down to Tampa for a few pleasant days over the holidays. Normal

LOL still. The coaches said AFTER Vero Beach that Eveld knew the offense better than Gunsby. Again I say, do you want a true frosh QB who does not know the offense well playing at this point in the season? That is either crazy or hilarious. :D I have chosen the second option just to be nice. Normal

LOL :D :D :D :D Now we are calling for a kid who does not know the plays to be our savior QB. This place gets better all the time. No need to shell out coin to visit a comedy club. Thanks. This thread is a classic. :D Normal

Stanford or Louisville. He is a better fit for these schools than us anyway. We should concentrate on Godfrey. Normal

3 years from now... the vols ar big time they cant beat usc smazza ;D

I still miss Ian's dad who used to post on this board. :'( Really good man. Ian was special the way he battled illness and injury to be a Bull. Good Panhandle people. Normal

Bleacher: Having a basketball facility is certainly part 'keeping up with the Jones' but you have to remember that the guys on the team work on their games year round. If a player wants to shoot some hoops or work on ballhandling drills at say 10:00 on a Tuesday morning, he may not be able to at USF because the Dome is being set up for a trade show and the Corral is scheduled for some other team. A facility dedicated to basketball is all hoops 24/7. It makes a big difference. Normal

Mike has to: coach the basketball team to an undefeated season win the Heisman Trophy end world hunger cure all forms of cancer and get smazza to use capital letters and punctuation. Then, I might be satisfied. Normal

Oh....I thought you had become a vet Velcro, and you were taking care of board members' pets. I was a little worried about the ones you 'fixed again.' ;D ;D ;D Normal

Randy: Good picture of Heath. It looks like he is about to ***** slap that official. ;D Normal

Mike: Michigan likes Beilein and Kruger. What worries me is if either WV or UNLV open up, those might be the jobs Heath would want. It would be nice if DW could get Heath wrapped up today. But if I were Heath, I would play the field some; at least through this weekend. Normal

Tony: Done. We'll trade autographed copies. Call me. DH

Omni: You're the one that pointed out that all these coaches have agents. It's possible Woolard contacted Heath's agent. It's also possible that Woolard is vetting Heath by talking with coaches and ADs first before he makes contact. At the surface level, where all of us who post on this board reside, Heath does look like a great fit. I would be happy with him. But I still trust Woolard to hire the best coach possible. Normal

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D The FAMU left fielder must be a transfer. His name; Stanley GNAT. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Normal

Randy: Losing does not make the program a mess. Losing is part of the challenge. In basketball, someone has to lose. It's that simple...there are no ties. Saying the program is a mess goes beyond the last few years and even decades. Every other program in the Big East has hoops tradition that goes back to the 40's and 50's...we didn't even exist back then. Why is it so hard to see the potential in USF for you? Basketball is a sport where it only takes a couple of key guys and some lucky breaks to turn things around. Our program is not a 'mess.' A mess is when there is no talent on the roster and a scandal surrounds the program. Trust me our program is no mess. Did we need to make a change in leadership so that we could win more games....absolutely and we are in that process. USF hoops will be a better product and soon I guarantee it. Calling us a mess is merely applying the same unoriginal mentality that reporters and so called sages wrote over and over again about Big East football two years ago. I think it is funny that you attacked McCullom all season long and now that he is fired you're going after the program. Maybe all year long you should have been attacking the program, not the poor sot that had to coach this messy program. Or better yet, why don't you take a vacation from attacking anything USF. What a concept. Normal

Wish I could be there. Really enjoyed the long phone conversations with TG as he was writing the book. What memories. Normal

So surfer and Mid-Atlantic, do you think USF basketball is a 'mess'? I don't. So what if a couple of low watt dudes decided that they didn't have enough Enzyte on their shelves to take us to the next level. Our situation is not dire and it's not a mess. Do we have some catching up to do with a bunch of schools that have had basketball tradition even before our university was founded? Sure, but that does not make us a mess. When the new coach is hired, if he can keep all the current players on roster and sign the 6 8 guy from HCC, he will have a serviceable team....by far not a mess. I agree much more with Coach Calhoun. USF has a lot of potential. marshall and pelphrey have said what McCullom voiced...the challenge is too big for them. I trust Mr. Woolard to find a guy who will relish the challenge. No, we are not a mess. fennelly is just fennelly.....a geek columnist who has a forum to vent against athletes and athletics. He, like some who post on this board, are best ignored. Normal

Dang....I hate the Giants' jerseys. I get jerseys made of Bulls players in the pros, even when they switch teams. I don't really like the Chiefs jersey that much. I might just wait out the Giants year and see what Kawicka does next. I need to get a Thanksgiving Cowboys Henry jersey and a Frank Davis jersey. Hopefully JR sticks with the Falcons and Andre makes the main roster in Denver. And then there is Snake. Could be an expensive season. Normal

I'm liking Stan Heath if he is interested. That would be a nice coup for us. Normal

I agree hightech, that was an unnecessary low blow. We have more season ticket holders than 60% of D-1 schools. It's that kind of perception we still need to overcome. Normal

USF Grad X 3 1981 1986 1996 Any questions? Normal

He probably did call Lee Roy but remember, Lee Roy wasn't answering his phone calls back then. ;D : Normal

I can just imagine what your filthy Taiwan tainted mind was thinking that it was HoopsBull. ;D ;D ;D Normal

The signing period is the same. The best players out there are ones like Bozeman that signed in November and ask for their release when the coach they signed with gets fired. The paper up here said a kid from Indiana State asked for his release and got it. Too bad he is a 6' 3" 2 guard. There may be some good transfers from other D-1 schools, but they would not be eligible to play until 2008-9. The new coach will have to make due. I want him on the trail of some players for the early signing period in November. Normal
