  1. I just completed this quiz. My Score 13/100 My Time 282 seconds  
  2. Anyone remember the era of the "3 wise men?" One poster under 3 handles just riling everyone up during some of the Leavitt years.
  3. Our D will still struggle next season. Additional to the positions Cuban mentioned above, I'd love to see some additional LBers & CBs.
  4. Taggart's best class was his first, with Mack, Johnson, Flowers et al. They got worse from there. I contend that Taggart's last class, which had ton of attrition, kicked off our lack of depth spiral. Strong's lack of recruiting solidified this.
  5. The buy out in your article is described in the contract that's subject to public record via our athletics department. Charlie Strong's negotiated buy-out was a little over $3M. It's highly probable that the remaining amount of Scott's buy-out is detailed in a contract with the USF Foundation. This fundraising arm is a direct service organization to USF, but it is not subject to the Fl public records law. I speculate that Scott's buyout is also in the millions range.
  6. We've watched some poor FB for a good part of the last decade. Tailgating, the Herd of Thunder, and my love for USF keep me coming back.
  7. Our W/L record under Scott has been poor, no doubt. I'm not sure I see enough positives in Scott's game management beyond some better play calling from his coordinators. Our lack of defense I chalk up to still having subpart depth. That still falls on Scott in year 3. I wanted him to succeed here. I'm not seeing enough to merit retaining him for a 4th year. I'm also not certain of anyone else out there capable to righting this USF FB ship.
  8. Butehorn had no issues beating USF, while he was head at FGCU. Maybe he forgot he's now the head at USF because that trend seems to have continued.
  9. We need more season ticket holders, boosters, and outside money following to Athletics. It shouldn't matter whether we're in the Big East or AAC. Hopeful that the FB wins come this season. We've got competent leadership, synergy, and some USF Athletics that needs some loving renumeration.
  10. Actually, I think that was Baker. Tough to hear. We don't have a dedicated TBT beat writer, so tough to get accustomed to things like vocal cadences. At least TDS covers USF pretty well for little to no pay.
  11. Bummed that Pinder, Jr. is an academic casualty. Hope he gets that in order. We're in dire need on that DL.
  12. We speculate Timmy was ok with it, based on his responses at media days. His transfer indicates otherwise. I'm ok with Marsh and Brown as backups. We can also tap into the transfer portal to bring someone else in with a little more experience. I'm curious where McClain winds up. I wish nothing but the best for him.
  13. OL & DL remain a concern for me. I'm still not convinced that the collective experience @ OL is as solid as hyped. We go, as the trench monsters go.
  14. Fowler Ave's Q&A acknowledges the membership money gray area and flat out indicates that membership is not tax deductible as Fowler Ave is not set up as a nonprofit.
  15. Yes, things like depreciation, business losses, etc., things related to the for profit business. For profit businesses are not in the donation business. Monies provided the Fowler Avenue "collective" cannot be claimed as a donation, like it can to the Bulls Club.
  16. I'm not a tax expert, but a typical business is not set up as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
  17. One key difference is that a portion of donations to the Bulls Club are tax deductible, since it's a nonprofit. Money provided to Fowler Avenue cannot be claimed as tax deductible in the same way. The Bulls Club retains that advantage.
  18. Pres Law is hyper connected amongst the political hoi-paloy in Tally. That can only help drum up more greenbacks for the next fiscal year.
  19. We got Jonathan Taylor'd to be more precise. That Wisky Oline was no joke either.
  20. I actually like the design, and you can't beat a $5 shirt.
