  1. ugh. :-/ We're spoiled with all these night games.
  2. Do you think this was planned?  If so "Brilliant"!!!!!!!! It was very much planned. I take it as a compliment that they threw USF in there as well at the end considering how we handed it to UL last year. Certainly well thought out at the Big East HQ.
  3. Pretty smart of the Big East to back load the schedules. It's paying off with exposure.
  4. I emailed about 10 people within the athletics dept, with the request that if I didnt send it to the correct person, to please forward it to that person(s). I pasted them a link to the main board, to this post specifically, and the image of the finished product. Hopefully I can get some feedback from SOMEBODY... Yea, you'll get a cease and desist letter from the university for using their logos.
  5. The worst part about that whole story is that you had to watch the Cincy game! :-/
  6. GO BULLS! I'm Lovin' it! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
  7. I beg to differ. We had NO run game at Kansas. We have some run game now. I think Ponton will have a decent day. Certainly a different team with him in the mix. Bulls win!
  8. Who exactly is saying we will win against Pitt? Pitt is on fire right now, whoever is saying that has yet to see them play. I say we win at Cincy easy. We will play well. ON the other hand, it will take a near perfect game AT HOME to beat Pitt.
  9. That's during the USF v. Cinnci game. The 21st is Saturday. The football game is Sunday, the 22d.
  10. October 21st University of Florida 9:30 I guess those are all night games?
  11. Congrats! Looks like you're putting in some work. USF takes on UF this weekend - When and where? guess I could probably look on your website...
  12. GREAT defensive play on that last pass. The FAU player was in the end zone and the ball was right to him. Defender made a great play and swatted the ball away. Awesome. 3000 fans, lol. It was like watching a high school game.
  13. All the big football schools in Florida are recognized. USF, UF, UM & FSU. Very nice.
  14. http://www.theledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061018/NEWS/610180376/1002/SPORTS By Patrick Zier Ledger Correspondent TAMPA -- There is no question that Lake Gibson's Matt Grothe has triggered a revival of South Florida's passing attack. But as the Bulls prepare for Sunday night's nationally televised game at Cincinnati, the contribution being made by Grothe's receivers must also be acknowledged. In fact, it is safe to say that no part of this team has improved more than the receiver corps, which performed poorly through much of 2005. In part, that was due to the often erratic passing of quarterback Pat Julmiste, but the receivers contributed their own miscues; dropped balls, poorly run routes, confusion over assignments. Numbers, and particularly the numbers being put up by the receivers, document this. After seven games a year ago, the Bulls had one receiver with 10 or more catches, Jackie Chambers, who had 14 for 193 yards. This year six players, Ian Randolph, Taurus Johnson, Marcus Edwards, Amarri Jackson, S.J. Green and Amp Hill all have 10 or more catches and Randolph, Johnson, Edwards and Jackson all have more yards than Chambers and Green has gained 190. Jackson, perhaps the most explosive of the group, admits the receivers left something to be desired a year ago and were determined to improve. He backs away from criticizing Julmiste, as do his teammates, but many neutral observers felt Julmiste lacked a feel for the passing game. "We can't judge how balls are thrown," Jackson said. "We just have to make plays." Jackson does say the receivers dropped far too many passes a year ago. "That's due to a lack of concentration, a lack of hand-eye coordination, and we spent a lot of time in the off-season working on that," Jackson commented. And he indicates that in 2005, at least some of the time, the receivers might have been worrying more about where the defenders were than concentrating on making the catch. "You can't worry about being hit, you have to go get the ball," Jackson said. "We want to complement the running game, bring some balance to the offense." Jackson also credits the South Florida defense for making the receivers better. "Every day in practice, the corners we play against are as good or better than anybody we play," Jackson said. "That gets us ready for Saturday. "As a group, we want to get to a point where we're on a pedastal, where we can be the strong point of the offense," Jackson said.
  15. http://www.heraldtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061018/COLUMNIST15/610180640 The University of South Florida linebacker corps was built to handle more than screen passes, four receiver sets and whatever else an opposing offense can conjure up. This group, rated the best in the Big East Conference before the season began, will even attempt on-the-field healing. Patrick St. Louis, the Bulls' weakside linebacker, likes to think he is playing with a preacher and a snake. It's an odd combination that comes in handy on the field, he says. St. Louis never played with a middle linebacker quite like Ben Moffitt, who quit football as a high school junior to find God. Moffitt said God led him back into the game because it gave him a platform to speak from. "If you hurt your finger in a game Ben will grab it and ask that you let him pray for it right on the spot," St. Louis said. Though he may possess a Sunday pulpit personality, when it comes to football Moffitt isn't afraid to vent his anger. "He is relentless and is always ready to jump in your face," St. Louis said. "He will tell you what to do and he doesn't care who you are. If you are out of line, he will get in your face. ... I don't bother him. I just let Ben be Ben." Strong side linebacker Stephen Nicholas, a Butkus Award candidate and the best NFL prospect of the three, has a dual personality born out of his passion for football. "He is two people," St. Louis said. "You've got one guy at practice and one in a game. "The one at practice is a hard worker who works on fundamentals and is doing everything right. In the game, you get a snake. In a game, Stephen will find some way to come out of anything to make a tackle. The snake is everywhere." Nicholas got the first interception of his career last week against North Carolina, which was the first pick by a USF linebacker in three years. Earlier this season, he came out of nowhere to block a field goal attempt against Rutgers, which gave the Bulls a chance to win the game. Nicholas is often compared to Bulls head coach Jim Leavitt because he is very guarded about what he says and doesn't want to tip off an opponent. Though Moffitt is a junior playing with two seniors, he is considered the father of the group. He got married when he was a 17-year-old senior at South Sumter High and has two children. "There was a (interception) curse on the linebackers and I think it's broken now," Moffitt said. "I was excited and happy for Stephen and believe I will get (an interception) now. It feels great to be the middle linebacker between them. "You couldn't ask for two better guys on and off the field. I feel like they are my brothers. They are quick and have great instincts for the ball. The notoriety our group gets makes you feel good, but it's not something we talk about." St. Louis says he doesn't see any egos when he looks at Moffitt and Nicholas. "This is a team sport and we always make sure we take care of our team," St. Louis said. "For us, it's not about trying to make 20 tackles a game. We don't try to highlight ourselves. We try to highlight our team." After graduation Moffitt wants to become a preacher or get into coaching.No surprise there.
