  1. We will have played 1 game in 34 days prior to going into Rutgers. That really scares me in terms of being rusty and not getting playing time. Snaps and plays in practice only go so far.
  2. TV or no TV, BE champ or no BE champ, Bowl eligible or no Bowl eligible.... If the game starts before 6 pm - we draw less than 20K. If the game starts after 6pm - we draw 20K to 30K if we are very lucky. We need this to be a night game to get ANY kind of crowd.
  3. If this is Dec. 3, ESPN better not throw money at the BE and move the game to 11am or noon because of the championship games and basketball that night on TV. This game has to be played at night so we can get a decent crowd.
  4. The TSA is against this policy.  The NFL has mandated these pat downs and the Glazer's contract states that the TSA is responsible for all security manpower and security costs.  I believe in other cities the team is paying the extra cost.  The Glazers are being totally unreasonable in this case as they should be paying for this unexpected cost.  No one could have seen this coming when they were negotiating with the TSA. They are grossing well over $6 million per game and they can't come up with $10,000 to cover something that came out of left field.
  5. Okay, here's the photo. Look up at the banners on the dome ring - USF is between Seton Hall and Syracuse.
  6. My camera sucks, but I did take a picture that is fairly dark. I'll see if I can lighten it up a bit. Tell me how to post it.
  7. Went to Notre Dame this weekend for the football game. Saturday morning I went to their open basketball practice and when I looked up at the various banners hanging from the Joyce Center roof, there it was.... A brand spanking new "South Florida" in green and gold! It was awsome to see it hanging there.
  8. Was at Champs International Mall last night. They have a batch of new Champs "knock off" shirts in with new designs. About 6 different styles for USF - also have heavy duty hooded sweatshirts with just USF on the front in both green and gray. Then went to Sports Fanatic at Westshore. Huge selection of USF t-shrits, golf shirts, license plates, glasses, trailer hitch stuff, etc. I was surprised at the extensive variety.
  9. But stay away from the security guards that will have the projector and screen surrounded.
  10. So are the players allowed to climb the wall and go into the student section to celebrate with them?
  11. Even better is that the BCS computer rankings use Sagarin's ELO-CHESS ranking where we are #14 and UL is #20! ELO-CHESS has us ranked higher than schools like Tennessee, Boston College, Wisconsin, Texas Tech & UCLA - not bad company to be in! Also, according to Sagarin, we should favored by 15 over Pitt.
  12. We appear 1 time on the Big East national TV schedule. There are 57 games listed. That means out of 114 team appearances on national TV because of BE scheduling, they gave us 1 appearance. They wanted us for the TV market so bad. Does this not suck? http://bigeast.collegesports.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/100405aac.html
  13. At the beginning of the season, I think we all (maybe secretly) agreed that through the WVU game, a 2-5 record was a foregone conclusion. It's great that we are now talking about being 5-2 or 4-3 at that point with very winnable games left after that.
  14. Can we win 4 out these 6 games? Would put us at 7-4 overall, 5-2 BE. That would be a very respectable (and unexpected) season.
  15. According to Sagarin, if the games were held today, the spreads would be: USF -4 over Pitt WVU -2 over USF USF -4 over Rutgers USF -3 over Syracuse USF -13 over Cinci USF -3 over UConn
  16. I don't understand why they don't want to take the game plan money. To be on 360, they have to have cameras at the game - correct? So why not put it on GP and take our money?
  17. I remember watching Shawn King and the Bucs get pummeled by the Eagles on New Years Eve - in a bar in Ybor City during the Outback Bowl Parade and it was absolutley freezing.
  18. UCLA vs USF even more interesting! http://www.collegefootballnews.com/2005/Bowls/Bowl_Projections.htm
  19. Instead of making a general announcement and placing a warning on the jumbotron, they actually had the cameras on the lined up cops smiling and played the cops theme. It was almost as if they were setting up what then occured.
  20. NFL on Sunday. Bowls and TV are treating Monday 1/2 like it was New Year's Day.
  21. And they call themselves the "Band of the Hour" whatever that means. Not of the century, decade, year, month or even day...but hour - I don't get why that's a positive thing.
