  1. Still available. If anyone is interested let me know.
  2. I have 4 football season tickets available. The tickets are in the club level with cushioned seats in section 238, row W. They're 2 seats from the aisle closest to the 20 yard line and just under the overhang of the upper deck, so if it rains you stay dry. These are priced at $275 per ticket (slightly under face value just to round the number off). I covered the donation fee - you just pay the face value of the tickets. Send me a PM if you're interested.
  3. Thanks Brad for reminding me how old I'm getting! I can't believe it's already been 10 years.
  4. Brighthouse is known to throttle, so this could be part of the reason. Most likely the reason is because of speeds. FiOS is wayyyy better quality than Brighthouse. When I had Brighthouse I was promised 10Mbps, and never got the full 10. Verizon beings the fiber optic cable straight to your house. Bright house uses fiber optic up as far as the neighborhood/community area(sometimes further) and from there they use copper wire to people's homes. Copper is much cheaper and this was what was used mainly. It costs Verizon a lot of money to being the fiber optic cable to your house. With Verizon, I was promised 15Mbps and got 22-24Mbps regularly. I upgraded recently to 50Mbps and have gotten 56-58Mbps plenty of times. There was even an article that came out that shows FiOS is known for having faster speeds than promised. Brighthouse says that you can get up to those speeds, but it might not happen often, if at all. That being said, I would switch to Google Fiber in a heartbeat. I wish it would come to Tampa. Yeah I fully agree with what you're saying. I'm an electrical engineer and computer nerd. I've had FiOS for about 7 years now and have the 50/25 service. What I was referring to though is on a FiOS connection for both scenarios, I logged in with a Brighthouse login and then later with a FiOS login. The stream quality using the FiOS login was better than it was with the BH login. So what I'm saying is that maybe ESPN actually throttles their stream from their servers based on who your ISP is. Maybe the ISPs delegate to ESPN on what bandwidth to allow their customers to use.
  5. I've watched several games previously via ESPN3 on our FiOS internet connection at home and the picture quality was actually really good. This is just speculation but something I noticed once... It's possible that depending on which ISP account you use to log into ESPN3 might determine on the streaming quality you get. During one game I used a Brighthouse login and the picture quality was decent, but not very good. I then logged out and logged back in with my FiOS login and the picture quality improved drastically. So it's possible that different ISPs might tell ESPN to throttle the stream to preserve some bandwidth and not on others. Just an observation I made on one occasion, so who knows...
  6. It think if White isn't any good we're screwed.
  7. LOL, yes. But it's not exactly time-sensitive information.
  8. Got the word that the food is some kind of BBQ and it's a cash bar. So BYOD.
  9. I'd probably stay away from putting conference mates on the boards unless you're wanting to repaint the boards every other year.
  10. Sorry, I'm a little late on the response here. Yes, they were "hand" painted using stencils (made out of contact paper) and spray paint. I've described my method in a thread in the tailgating forum section. If you can't find it let me know. If you have any other questions fire away, I'm glad to help.
  11. How many of you that answered Grothe have seen Blackwell play too? I'm guessing not many.
  12. My friend just sent me this pic from the beach: Some of these would go really well with it: http://thebullspen.com/index.php/topic/90796-usf-is-big-time/
  13. Wasn't most or all of the money used for the renovations raised prior to them starting?
  14. That's what I did. You can also pop out the video into a smaller window for watching at work
  15. It's working for me but as Triple B said, the audio and video aren't synced. I didn't need to do any signing in or anything either.
  16. Some of you might not have heard or others forgot, but Ray Jay is supposed to be getting some upgrades this year. They're supposed to be putting in new jumbotrons and replacing the sound system among other things. I know this doesn't have much to do with the OCS topic but I thought I'd throw that out there...
  17. I noticed the SunTrust Building downtown was lit up green and gold after the game tonight. Have they been doing that all season? It's nice to see community support like that!
  18. This statement could be read in so many different ways. What does "committed to the Big East" mean? Committed until a better offer comes along? This is just typical president speak. What, are they going to say they're not committed?
  19. Hopefully it's a full size bus and not a short bus!
  20. Finishline.com has USF TShirts for $10 with free shipping. Link: http://www.finishlin...Count|1/Ntt-dw3 Use coupon code FALLFS12 for free shipping. I'm pretty sure you can't check out with Paypal to use the free shipping code.
  21. Enough with the pissing contests!! If you want to wear a bag on your head, go ahead. You have every right to do so and it doesn't make you any less of a fan. The product on the field is a disgrace and as a fan you show your displeasure in any way you see fit (obviously within reason). If someone wants to rent a plane with a "Fire Holtz" banner on it, then go ahead, that's your right. End of story....
  22. I made them. I think there's a thread in the Tailgating forum where I explained how I made and painted them. If you can't find it let me know and I'll see if I can find it.
  23. I laughed when I read this in the paper today. I said this exact thing to the people around me during the game. And look what happened...
  24. We were planning on going but waiting to see how we did so far in the season. Good thing the Miami game was later in the season. We're definitely not going now! This team isn't worth our gas money let alone a hotel and game tickets.
