Although, if I were advertising that Powerade was having a huge special on their product, and not to ever buy Gatorade because money from their sales goes back to UF, I'm pretty sure Brad would be all right with it.
Buy Powerade! Make a conscience effort to never drink Gatorade or date a girl from that lowly institution.
Converting women from there to see the wrong of their ways is like missionary work. It's not easy, but it's rewarding.

If nothing else, it's more constructive feedback on how to further his career. There is no reason he shouldn't be asking for it.

It's going to change no matter what 8-)!
Hopefully it changes in a positive manner.

Don't worry, come the time where it's only basketball season I'll start to fade away again. Don't get me wrong, I hope the USF BB team wins. But I hate basketball. Alot.

I guarentee the profile of the guy is one of these three:
- 30+ year old NFL nerd who has 40 fantasy football teams and thinks Tony Romo is great one week and is not the answer the next.
- 17 year old kid hoping to make an impact on the internet with his sportswriting.
- My Mother - Seriously I think she would probably have known more about both teams than that guy did.
I don't mind that he picked against us, but that reads like anus.
Fantasy football nerds would know about Grothe. To do well in fantasy, you have to keep an eye on what players are putting up statistical points. For example, astute fantasy owners noticed that by midseason, Marion Barber III had more points than the starter Jones. That's a great undrafted FA pickup.
How does this apply to college bowl projections for a fantasy nerd? He's going to scrape some analysis straight from the statistical production of players on both sides. In fact, that might be ALL he does. Either way, that would call attention to Grothe, Williams, etc.
-
By their rules, do you have to be a true freshman, or can you be redshirt? Grothe isn't a true freshman, after all.
-
shows you that espn is a joke.
there are probably almost 100 d'1 schools that wish they were FSU or Miami.
and both will probably win their bowl games
While espn still may be a joke....the number 5 spot is usually reserved for the underachieving team or the team that choked the most during a given week.
Didn't they put the oregon-ou officiating in that spot? Or was that just an honorable mention that week? But yes, the #5 is always a 1 week appearance of a choke job. UM and FSU are great examples this year.

POOR fellow will fail like coker
I don't know about that. It IS true that he was the only person that enjoyed consistent success, even under Coker. If he can get himself an offensive coordinator kinda like spurrier got himself a defensive coordinator at UF, then you never know. I'm not holding my breath though. Hell, I'm not even cheering for him. Unless he's playing UF or FSU, that is.

Does disliking the sport of basketball in general earn me a spot on the dark side?
-
I just don't believe USF is the right university for Vic.
Maybe you misunderstood his question ..... WHY do you think USF is NOT the right university for him?
Even I could answer this better than him, even if I had to make something up:
1. Nearly all of his friends are attending a different university.
2. He really likes a specific coach.
3. He grew up watching and aspiring to play for another program.
4. He's a small town type of kid that might not want to go to a huge school.
5. He's in the mafia, he's a communist, he's evil, or has some other similarly awful reason for disliking USF.
-
Shannon gets a better OC by alot, or Miami should have kept Coker. This does nothing by itself. It's a safe hire, but how about the school put the coach in a position for success now that they've made it? That seems to be a foreign concept to big time football lately.
-
I would not take the 'bama job. It's a bad move.
Are you kidding? Mike Freakin' Shula won 11 games with an SEC schedule while having limited scholarships. Imagine what a real coach could do.
Oh yeah, and Alabama probably doubles his salary.
Not to humiliate you too badly or anything, but you just proved his point. Mike Freakin' Schula won 11 games with an (overrated) SEC schedule while having limited scholarships. Mike Schula got FIRED for that.
-
Listing the coaches that turned down the Bama job
"Jim Leavitt from South Florida, atleast the U was turned down by Rutgers but Alabama was turned down by South Florida, Hey what does that tell you Alabama, maybe you want to call Mike Price" Jim Rome
It's not what's wrong with Alabama.
It's whats right with South Florida.
It's both. Alabame proved that 1) boosters run the program and 2) they they suck at it.
-
UF might just be crying over how their performances didn't jump them into #2, but the president has a point. The reason a playoff is used in almost every other sport is that the teams that have proven they're good across a season have had a chance to gel. Should the 1 loss team that plays OSU pull the upset, we'll have too many 1 loss teams for comfort.
Nobody argues against the playoff system in other sports. Even if a playoff system also doesn't necessarily crown the best team, what it DOES do is give everyone within a reasonable range a CHANCE.
-
The number 1 thing that can be said about Leavitt's loyalty to the program is that he is still here.
I honestly expect either Shannon to step up at Miami. I'd also like to see Schula get a new job right away. Alabama boosters just dropped a 100 pound plate on the football team's foot. Actually, that's how the program got into trouble in the first place. Nobody has beaten Bama more than its boosters. Way to ruin tradition...
-
No self respecting coach would go there after schula was fired. Schula wasn't even given a teeny, tiny chance to overcome major scholarship depletion before the boosters roasted him alive.
That administration mad an awful decision and they might just pay dearly for it. I hope they rot along with their historic pride. This is coming from someone who kinda liked bama prior to now, too.
-
I'm on. Now you guys have to deal with my flagrantly annoying prescence on multiple internet sites. Good job.

I have to disagree a bit with what the writer considers important. Specifically-- winning our bwl game does not validate anything, especially if it is against a freaking (and no I didn't swear) CUSA team.
If we get lucky and play Texas Tech in the Texas Bowl-- that opponent would be a strong enough challenge to say -- yes we have arrived. Now don't get me wrong-- beating ECU or whatever CUSA team is guaranteed situation. But in the eyes of the rest of the world, beating a team from that particular conference is meaningless. It doesn't do anything short of fueling the fire for those who like to talk about how the Big East schedules OOC chumps and not real tests.
Anyway-- it's nice to have a writeup like this. I just don't think it was really thought out very well.
And as for the person who asserts the Bulls are #2 in the state--- well-- perhaps from a strict record-wise perspective. But I think we would be lucky to win a game against either FSU or Miami still at this point. To me-- until we beat them, we can't say we are above them or their equals. If we won the Big East this year-- OK-- THAT would have convinced me that we may have leapfrogged the FSU/Miami guys as that is the main benchmark I can feel would have equated to a field win. Your argument has merit but I'm just not quite ready to believe we have gotten that far.
Come on now. Miami lost to Virginia and a bunch of 20-30 ranked teams. FSU copied that trend with a horrible loss to NC State. It's going a little far to say we'd be LUCKY to win against those schools. If either of them played at RJS this year, USF would have won. On the road, it's more iffy, and I'd say they'd have won. We're not a good road team. On a neutral field, I'd have to say we're slight favorites this year.
Remember, that's this year and as far as history is concerned, this year only. It's a great opportunity for USF, because we're rising at a time where they aren't 10-2 or better. However, those schools still have a lot of money and brand name power. Miami is a coach away from being a major pain in the ass again, and they'll probably find that coach.

From Yahoo.com ;D
3rd-10, WVU35 2:02 K. Dorsey intercepted P. White for 9 yards
It was actually the Burger King. He ran it back, too.
-
this whole **** thing just concerns me...
are you kidding?
like leavitt is the greatest coach ever and he couldnt be replaced
there are dozens of coaches that can take usf to BE title much faster than leavitt
Even if there are a couple better coaches, bringing in a new person with a new system seldom brings success "faster". I'd get rid of Leavitt...if Bill Belichick decided he wanted to coach the rest of his career at USF.
-
yes because the second youtake anyone for granted, they beat you
Unless they're Duke in football. Point taken though. It's a bowl game, so our players show up to play, hopefully.
-
USF is 8-4 in a BCS conference. Miami is a mess and exerts extreme pressure, evidenced by firing a national champion coach inside 5 years.
Still, I'd take it over Bama. Schula actually repaired that program pretty well considering the scholarship woes he started with. His reward was to get canned. Realistically, schools like Miami and NC State could look at Schula. My guess is that the Canes go for a strong NFL assistant though. Looking at trends such as USC and Notre Dame, that seems to be the hot move lately.
-
Tonights game showed how far the BE really has to go. The BE has 3 top teams that have really pretty offenses but no defense what so ever. The SEC is built off of good defesnes and would shut down one dimensional team like WVU or Rugters THIS YEAR.
Too bad the SEC teams mostly lack any offense whatsoever. Rutgers has a good D too, they really hampered UL in the 2nd half. I'm not convinced at all that UF would beat them (or louisville) on a neutral field. I doubt either team would put up more than 20 or so.
Wvu is particularly one dimensional. If they are to ever run the table completely, Pat White is going to have to be come a better passer. If troy smith could do it, perhaps white can too.

Computers GIGO (garbage in garbage out)
how does saggarin justify pitt 6 spots ahead of usf we beat them and they lost to uconn?
his system is flawed. probably comes out in the wash
Colley has the best computer ranking system. Even nicer, you can actually see all inputs he uses.
We may have boys on our flag team...

Weak. Maybe he was just crying because it was his last game. Judging by his play, he won't see the NFL, unless he switches positions and has a good go at it. Julmiste shed a tear or two at his last home game too I believe.
Ideally, the guy would come out and help coach the young QB as much as possible, but I don't feel he was bringing his team down, unless he was moaning about the pain constantly and badgering teammates out of focus. I didn't see that.
