I dream of a day when I have to worry about unfavorable seeding in the college football playoffs, as of this moment every single team we play seems to be an unfavorable matchup

If Brett is breaking the story it has to be bad for us in some way, I’m just not sure what it is yet

But many franchises have a bad first 20 something movies before really hitting their stride

I laughed

I don’t know who the coach is but I support this idea #fireeverybody

I don’t think we should be competing in any sport that tries to measure things in metric, it sounds like a gateway to socialism.

I don’t know what’s taking academics so long, even with all the focus of the administration. We have completely ignored athletics and the men’s teams have been at an AAU level for years.

I’ll take it

Stop trying to threadjack, this is dedicated to doom and gloom and my hyperbolic musings This is actually great news and I am happy to hear the counter point to USF ennui.

Tom Hanks is a national treasure

Except this is based on incidents per 100,000 and there are plenty of much bigger cities not on the list (including New York, la, Philadelphia and us) while having plenty of smaller cities listed.

That’s awesome so this group sounds like it has an actual chance to flourish.

Oh so if they go to a four year college then they have to stay for three years? If so that’s not that bad I just assumed they could be one and dones since baseball let’s you draft 12 year olds.

Thanks for the recap and it sounds like we are trending upward, if they develop too quickly then they most likely get drafted though, right?

I do not follow the baseball program other than on here. So is the program fledgling like has been claimed or is it up and coming? I know baseball isn’t quite football or basketball and knocking off the number 11 can happen even by a not so great team but either way it sounds pretty awesome and its nice to have a reason to cheer. If we miracle our way to a UF upset I’m burning every couch in a 20 miles radius and probably will not about anything else to anyone I see in Gator gear for the rest of my life. So I know this isn’t WV hillbilly level celebration but what exactly does it mean?

Sounds better than a conference made up of the most violent cities in America and who’s “destination” city is one that can best be described as America’s largest outside toilet. You had me at no UCF. The most dangerous cities in America, ranked The violent crime rate in the U.S. declined 0.2 percent from 2016 to 2017, the first decline...

If they forgot about us I think we would have had more players than we got from them knowing about us.

@Triple Bi think people actually did look at it as an investment and the return looks increasingly less likely, the financials are a mess, the restructuring too frequent, the leadership team inexperienced, no path to revenue that’s been communicated and no transparency on what’s ever going on. What you really want them to do is not look at it as an investment at all and yolo their money on a stock that’s been shorted by all the the smart money and wallstreetbets would be embarrassed of your loss porn posts on.

He is definitely directionally correct now he just needs to expand it by any means necessary and get over the hump of winning some of these marquee matchups. Playing and beating P5 teams is our only path to relevance and by even engaging in the AAC match ups we have already lost.

If they just went to 11 teams instead of arbitrarily stopping at 4 we would have just as many as everyone else

The numbers do not support this reasoning at all. There used to be a greater thirst for the product, greater ticket sales, greater merchandising dollars and overall greater money coming in without even accounting for inflationary value (it is 50 percent in that time period in cast you are wondering, which makes sense when you look at the expense growth) what has changed is what we are selling and our inability to generate new fans. The market is never wrong and if it is telling you that what you are selling does not work then it is on you to change what your product is and not expect the market to change their tastes. Our entire budget now made up of athletic fees and subsidies with a burden to the few remaining fans that continue to support our failed leadership, while they make no effort to capture a greater market share by making a drastic change to their failed approach. Do your job and right the ship as your failure has nothing to do with the fact that you are luckily enough some people are willing to give their hard earned discretionary spending to your continued failings. The Titanic did not sink because it didn't have enough first class passengers it sunk because the crew that was tasked with navigating the ship decided to hit an iceberg, at least they had the decency to not continually ask for money to cover their failings as it inevitably sunk anyway. Let's say I wire $20,000,000 to MK today, what do you think honestly changes that will increase revenue going forward? My guess is that they would just pay back the school for the huge deficit they have been running at and not a **** thing because if you actually have an idea you start on it and if it is actually a good idea the money follows with it incrementally.

I couldn’t agree more, the issue isn’t unknown’s fault fault for still being an unknown a year in, as he didn’t hire himself. Each coach since CJL has had a singular season to write home about and if everything goes entirely swimmingly we would get one whole good season out of CJS as well. We need a home run at some point off the bat and this feels more like a bunt, which occasionally can turn into a home run but it’s not very likely. Our fans are atrophying, our good will has burned to the ground, we can’t renovate a locker room much less build a practice facility and we overall make me sad. If there is ever a force ranking of athletic directors our VP would probably find himself firmly below those a level down on the org chart and he will have earned it. If we do not want to compete at this level then let’s just be honest and either quit or stop asking for money because even the lottery knows it has to pay off sometimes.

Suing his brother most likely, Dave Chappell is my favorite Gallagher though and he seems just as reasonable as the Rock

If we want to stick to Steve’s genre the Hulk went here and I’m sure he has a discount for being tarnished, one of the most expensive brand ambassadors that has no connection to USF may be just a bit out of reach.

I think this is fair enough, I’m just ready to start seeing it and we had a better chance of demonstrating that at the end of last season than we do in the start of this season. Some improvement in year one would have went a long way in creating good will for year two but I worry we are in for more excuses in year two than we will see wins, which at some point has to be hard for everyone to swallow but I’ve seen people already pave the way to year four of failure (which means you think a lot less about CJS than I do).
