;DFire the special teams coach ;D

I have mentioned this before.  We will remain a mid major school until spending on programs increase.

From Equity in Athletics web site. Spending on the football programs (rounded).

Syracuse     $15,008,000

Pitt              $12,087,000

WV             $11,328,000

UConn        $10,433,000

Rutgers       $10,667,000

Louisville     $8,988,000

Cincy          $7,078,000

USF            $5,378,000

We have a long way to go.

Face it; we are a mid major school.  Recruiting therefore reflects that.  One year we have a running back and no QB.  This year we have a QB but no K and RB.  Next year will be something else and on and on.  The model to follow to get out of that mid major cycle is Louisville and to an extent Rutgers.  Without a full commitment $$ from the school we are going no where, and if we make the commitment now it will take time.  It took Louisville about 5 years.

I will continue to purchase season tickets as I have since day one, but .500 seasons (prediction) are getting old.  Go to this site and look at expenditures and revenues.

The special team coach sucks.  Terrible recruiting and decisions about players.  I can think of at least 2 games that we might have won.  Who is the special teams coach?

Rick Brown and about half of the Ledger sports writers picked UCF to win on saturday's paper

Did not make the game.  Choosing in stead to go fishing with the family since my daughter (who I have not seen in 6 months) is in from London and desperately wanted to go out on the water (cant get trout, snapper and grouper in the UK).  Anyway, how was the pre game tailgate?  

PS

She will be eating fish tomorrow – good day on the water.

WE NEED A RUNNING GAME

I will purchase one.  How may I order one.

Why did the band play to the visitor’s side?  I do not recall this happening before.  The side with the team is the home side and bands play to that side.  Not to mention big money alum sit there.

Students were great - excellent turnout.  Everyone in our section noticed and made positive comments.

What is up with the colors this year?  The uni are a lighter green and now these chairs.  What are the school colors or should I ask, what shade of green is it.  Hunter or Kelly green.

ET I have written emails to Brown and Perez (no relation) about the same thing.  I even stopped the paper at home and subscribed to the trib in retribution.  After about a year, the wife wanted the paper back so she could read more about local stories.  I now subscribe to two newspapers, the tribune and you know who.  I read the trib and wife the ledger.

Let me know when you get back to town

Oh by the way I am on Eagle Lake

Well floks here is your update.

It is Saturday Night in Polk County and I STILL DO NOT HAVE MY TICKETS.  :-[

Cannot attend next Thursday as I have a prior committment.

Hope I have my tickets by then!

Tybull my tickets and DVD arrived in Bartow Saturday.  DVD was great I plan to attend thursday.

"This is the youngest team I've had since our first year," Leavitt continued. "There's a lot of competition everywhere."

That is twice I've seen that quote from JL.  I'm concerned we may not have enough experiance this year.  Is JL paving or letting us know we may have a bad season?

No tickets in Polk County.  I've called twice to check and I get "the computer is down". >

Section 214 - we hoist someone (light) and do push-ups for every score

I think it's great.  That Bull better come on the field with HORNS.

I made it.

I made the first game and had to home before the second.  I'm sorry I missed the second game.  Looks like my hometown girl did well (Britta)
