Good read on the timeline of events for the Pac-12 with some anonymous "true" insiders. What stood out is the Pac-12 had a few times to save itself but priced itself to high during media negotiations, USC blocking expansion with the Big 12 to then leave soon after and the Apple deal having an out clause after 2 years if things didn't work out Inside the Pac-12 collapse: Four surprising moments that crushed the conference WWW.LATIMES.COM How did the Pac-12 die? These surprising decisions by USC, Oregon, Washington and...

While I agree with the (hopefully) easy and descent path to some titles, we should never be comfortable with our current state of the football program or with this new league. We have shown glimpses of our potential from an on the field perspective and in the stands with some descent numbers in attendance. We have a lot of work to but, again, we should never feel complacent with our current situation. Let's have fun with the bigger chick but, let's ditch her when the hot one comes along.

I read (quickly) through his Twitter feed and didn’t see anything bad, negative or argumentative. He’s showing support for his colleague and our school. No need to criticize him for these things or tell him he doesn’t know about running a NCAA team(in the case football). At the end of the day, at its basic level, all college sports are the same thing, motivate young athletes to perform their best on and off the field

Given the fact that student athletes can profit from their likeness, would we consider redirecting potential stadium funds to "pay" for 4 star players to come play for USF? If we view USF as a brand, increasing the performance level of our team will enhance our brand and could potentially generate additional funds while still playing at Raymond James and focusing on sell outs (WVU). In this scenario I'm assuming we are selected for the Big12

Why would the BIG12 commit the same mistake again with BYU regarding television rights? This is a short term fix and not a very will thought out one. It will come back to bite them in the ass.

Are we sure Brett is not our biggest football rival?

I for one agree with this, what does UCF have that puts it miles ahead of USF? both programs attract a large audience when they are doing good, and when they are not, no one pays attention to them. UCF right now is on the upswing at the right time, it's luck. If UCF does get picked, so be it. Although I won't be able to talk about competitive USF football anymore, USF has other great sports to support and more importantly, we continue on the right path to AAU with a big endowment and research programs. Also, count me in as someone that never understood the forced rivalry with UCF. Of all the schools that are rumored to leave, Cinci is the one that irks me the most. They've been with us since the C-USA days and (supposedly) are getting ready to surpass us, just like Louisville did with the ACC.

I have way more hate for PITT than FSU...I want FSU to destroy PITT and their band wagon fans.

To see Pitt playing in the ACC against FSU in prime time...someone please wake me up from the **** nightmare of a team and conference!!!

right back at you buddy, oh yeah, your crowd was talking a lot of smack until we handed your ass and everyone left, that's your student section. Next time they'll learn NOT to come to the game to save face!

Yeah because, all us dorks posting here are making USF vs UCF a HUGE rivalry! :

I one of those defending it why it's not, what am I suppose to do? Let people on this board tell me I'm suppose to hate UCF? Again, this thread is about a supposed rivalry with UCF, it's not a rivalry thread that you would read on a UF vs FSU or Miami vs FSU.

that's the point girl, they will HATE us.... a rivalry is borderline hatred towards a different team!

I'm starting a new topic on this because: a) We are playing louisville I'm tired of UCF and others making this into a UCF "rivalry" thread. Now, my purpose of this thread, IF we beat louisville they will end up hating us that much more. We, knocked them out of national title contention and if we take this basketball game they are NIT bound and missing the Big East tourny! that's a rivalry!!!

Just because "people", aka posters on this board, are looking foward to this game doesn't mean everyone is. The game that probably is being cirlced is the Pitt game, with their top 10 recruiting class and Wanstatt (sp?) coaching they might come in needing to win this game.
