Ours are. Hence the success of the program.

Godspeed

Football and women's basketball

The more I think about this game the more important I think it is to win it. With all the attention our scheduling is getting recently I believe winning this game sends a clear message to recruits and the teams we're scheduling that we mean business. We should have all the advantages of preparation heading in as well. We know their game plan. With Hornibrook transfering and Doak Walker winner Jonathan Taylor in their backfield it's a pretty safe bet to say stopping the run is paramount. It's redemption time for CCS and Brian Jean-Mary. Was last season an aberration or foreshadowing of we should expect during this tenure? It's time to put up or shut up. On the offensive side there isn't much tape to go off of to prepare for Kerwin Bell's schemes. I'm sure the talent level here is going to allow him to do things that he wasn't able to do at Valdosta St. or JU. Will we continue middling success or finally get some momentum and steam back into the program?

Reminds me of Jameer Nelson.

Michigan,Ohio State, Texas (womp), and maybe Oklahoma, USC, and LSU. Ole Miss and Tennessee would probably draw well too.

Obviously. My point was that if at the end of the year we are undefeated or have one loss then we need to have as good a OOC schedule as we can get. Who knows if this system can be crashed? Unlike UCF, we need to put ourselves in the best scheduling position possible in case it does happen. Prepare for success. Replacing FCS games with historically good teams from lesser conferences is a great step towards that imo. Look at the two years we currently have a FCS team on our schedule. 2019: Wisconsin, GT, BYU, S. Carolina St & 2021: NC St., UF, BYU, FAMU. Replacing SCST and FAMU with App St. or Troy doesn't look like a big deal on the surface but it would have a huge impact on s.o.s.

If you're trying to earn respect a Troy or App St in place of a FCS team is the way to go. Most people in the know understand how tough those programs are. We've handled the option pretty well recently vs GT and Navy. Tulane is a hybrid offense and more of an aberration imo. Army has built a solid program and is a name that will draw. WVU was the greatest rival we've had in many people's opinions. Some great history there. ISU is honestly just a personal thing as I have a lot of family in IA and some are ISU grads. As far as the 2 for 1s? Can't you say the same thing about Bama, UF, UM, and Louisville? Regional matchups will draw and if you're recruiting local shouldn't you want to schedule the best regional programs? Regional round trips also excites your fan base. We have been historically bad against both the run and the B10. Ray Rice, Melvin Gordon, Tony Hunt ect still give me nightmares.

I'd like to see 2 for 1s with LSU, UGA, FSU, Clemson. Home and aways with WVU, Iowa St, App St, Army, Troy.

Great break down Bully!

I have 5 season tickets, you? I created this user name in 2003. Not sure what your point is criticizing it? When you create one click bait title after the next without any worthwhile or meaningful content inside what do you expect besides backlash. Just because you hope or wish this series with Bama will lead to better recruits doesn't make it fact. And it doesn't make anybody a Debbie downer for pointing it out. Trust me, we all wish the roster was full of 5* recruits and the stands were full to the brim. It takes a lot more than speaking it into existence unfortunately. There you have the attention you so desperately crave.

You are without a doubt the click bait king. Not a compliment btw.

This would be better than last years fiasco but still a step or two below Birmingham.

Anybody else notice USF WBB wished Kit a happy birthday on social media yesterday and then pulled the posts?

When it translates to more than just regional burnouts year after year is when it will become very cool news for USF.

Good guess. Hope you're right!

I think that SEC invite is finally headed our way!

Wow. That is disheartening. The narrative changes a bit now imo. That's at least four players transferring out and one maybe walking away altogether since right before the start of last season. Including one of the programs all time best. I'm not sure what all that does or doesn't mean but it's certainly worth noting.

It seems to have gone under the radar.

Apparently Rader is leaving too. Thought she'd have made a bigger impact last season. Especially with all the injuries. With Henshaw, the emergence of Leverett, and hopefully a healthy Jordao we still have some good bigs but this hurts the depth a little. So Laska and Ferreira graduate, Radar leaves school early, and Makaela Kestner and Janeta Rozentale both transfer. With what looks to be a team with a lot less depth next year we can't afford any injuries or we'll be in a similar or worse position as this year.

I was front row at her last college game, unfortunately. Happened right in front of me and I knew immediately it was bad. Really wish that wasn't my last memory of Kit in green and gold. I'll miss her and her fiery demeanor. Wish her all the best.

So disappointing. This program never seems to win when it matters. I'll never understand how having team USA's head coach doesn't translate into more on field national success.

I gladly jumped in on this.

Open up against S. Carolina in the Tally region.
