I can't knock on UCF for what they are building, it sure does look crappy now but from what I've read it is going to be a real nice place. Bleachers are just one part of the story, they are building a whole entertainment venue around it with restaurants, and shops. I think most of us would be just as excited if something like that was going up in our campus.

There were Gators everywhere. They were even selling UF Championship banners along Bayshore. Freaking annoying.

wow.

That's great. Maybe he can talk 'em into changing a few of our 3* to 4* or 5* so we can lose them to other schools.

That would only work if he goes to a Prep school, if he goes to a CC those years will count against his eligibility.

Recap: -Everyone talked about their plans for Gasparilla -Mentioned how the coaching shuffle is not really going to affect recruiting. But just to be safe Wally B. visited OL Lawrence McCoy in Valdosta, Ga. His commit still stands. -As we all know R. Marve is a long shot - Alton Voss might not be academically eligible - We will offer more to make up for recruits that might not qualify - TE Kevenski McGee** has USF as his top choice. - Talked about that GA recruit that would have committed to USF last weekend but got a last minute call from Auburn telling him that they "might have a spot" for him. And that's all I remember.

And for that we need our alumni, especially does bragging about having lunch in Beverly Hills, to donate some serious money. Not one time donations, but generous yearly donations.

Was it an error or did we move up now that Claude Davis and Butler are 3***?

Indeed. SNL couldn't script it any better.

I don't mean to sound like Smazza, but how is a non-BCS school two years removed from going 0-17 having the same recruiting year as us? Is it because their new facilities? Is it because they have a coach that was hired by Notre Dame? What is it? We are doing great but I didn't expect for UCF to do as good as us.

TN has plenty of support already, we need you in Auburn!

I can't wait till WE play Auburn next year.

And who said we wouldn't? Who wouldn't want those attendance numbers for USF games? :-?

Of those 67K in Tampa how many were GB fans? And of those 55K in GB how many were Buc fans?

TIVO, what a great little invention.

Bonne annee from Paris even over here i had to get my message board fix hope u are all enjoying all the bowl games sorry there is no punctuation marks but they use a weird keyboard and is not even qwerty and the letters are all over the place

Seriously, are guys making all this crap up? Is Holtz that stupid? Feel good story? How about Rutgers?

Also, we need to have some sort of fundraising drive for this board. I was on some serious withdrawal the whole afternoon. How much will it cost to get the necessary bandwidth or w/e is that is causing the crashing fixed? If we propose to raise a specific amount by a certain date I think people would be willing to throw down some money. I know there is a paypal link somewhere to donate but that is just sitting there. just a thought.

Amazing how after just two years some of those Top 10 wins seem insignificant now.

UCLA is ahead of us in the coaches poll by 8 points. So, them losing and us winning can only help us. But will FSU pass us now? At 7-6? Doubt it. They will be ranked in the preseason polls though.

High School or College, the band sounded pretty good during the game. They were there, I watched the game. I think a couple of school songs like "The Bull", plus their own songs is better than the ZERO school songs we would get if the HOT doesn't make it. When you don't have a great budget you shouldn't dismiss things so easily w/o exploring them.

why not get a local (from Auburn) high school band like FSU did for their NC State game?

Quick, somebody post the picture of the very "masculine" Knight prancing around with his cape after the USF game.

what an idiot. So we beat two Top 10 BE teams in back to back years and we still deserve to be in C-USA? wtf?
