  1. Keyword "like". At a cost of $410 million Euros, yikes.
  2. When is the draft? Is it a live draft or is it done on line?
  3. I've never booed a player on one of "my teams".  Nothing good can come from it.
  4. We are in good shape with the 2 print media ... would like more TV coverage ... and talk radio is like message boards ... True, the print media does a good job. Thats the rub, we are in a TV driven world. I'm usually the first person stirring in my neighborhood and of the closest 20 houses to mine, 4 get a newspaper delivered. Most get their news and sports from the tv and therefore get little or no coverage of the Bulls into their homes.
  5. Win games, get Top 25 votes (i.e. Rutgers), get the local media talking about you, get the public talking about you...and you won't have to give away tickets. They are slowly(apparently too slow for some) getting there.
  6. When he does start talking about them, he'll say something to the effect that he has been, "On them since day one, when no one else would talk about them. You people don't listen, I'm all over them". Sadly, he lives in the Bay Area and you can probably count the Bulls games he's attended (or even watched on TV from start to finish) on one hand. If I were on the radio in this area, I would do my damndest to learn everything there is to know about the local Div 1, BCS Conference football (and basketball) team. Instead, he chooses not to talk about them and uses the coach being upset at the media three weeks ago as an excuse. Both lazy and sad at the same time.
  7. He was also whining about the Bulls not making players available for him to talk to. I think they told him that he could come to the weekly media event and talk to them. He said something to the effect of "I have better things to do than go to their media events. As long as they won't let us talk to the players, I will not talk about the team". Arrogant ass. Too lazy to drive to campus and do a little work.
  8. They're saying he will be back for their WVU game on ESPN this morning.
  9. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Mike Bianchi Leavitt should love series; USF owns UCF Published September 17, 2006 What a total and complete waste of time. What an absolutely awful atmosphere. Why would anybody want to keep this unimportant nonrivalry alive? Seriously, who needs a ranting, chanting crowd of nearly 50,000 to watch two state teams only 90 miles apart? Who needs a nail-biting, heart-palpitating, up-and-down, back-and-forth game? Who needs all the emotion and all the commotion coming down to the final, frenetic 30 seconds with UCF on USF's 10-yard line on fourth down with a chance to win the game? Who needs the bands blaring, the coaches swearing, the fans caring? Who needs USF players high-stepping over to their thousands of devoted, delirious fans and UCF players hang-dogging into a sad, somber locker room after the most devastating loss of Coach George O'Leary's tenure? "This one hurts a lot more than getting beat 42-nothing by Florida," UCF quarterback Steven Moffett said after his team's 24-17 loss to USF. "This was a game we wanted to win badly. This one went down to the wire. This one was for bragging rights." Hopefully, USF Coach Jim Leavitt took notice. Hopefully, he now understands why USF-UCF is better for his program than USF-Wofford. Leavitt is the one who, for some unknown reason, wants to end this budding, brewing, young rivalry. That seems awfully strange, considering how badly he wanted to win it. Leavitt wanted to win so desperately, he actually resorted to reading a copy of an Orlando Sentinel column to fire up his team. That's right, Leavitt, whose team is rife with academic casualties and drug suspensions, didn't take kindly to a column written Friday by yours truly in which USF was called a "renegade" program. "We're not a bunch of renegades," Leavitt said. ". . . I'm disappointed in some of the things I read in the Orlando paper, and our guys took offense to it. I promise you that [column] helped us." There you have it. Don't hang this one on O'Leary, the million-dollar coach; hang it on the 50-cent mug shot in the paper. My shoulders are wide. I can handle the burden of blame. I know the Knights got outcoached and outplayed. I know one of UCF's best players, running back Kevin Smith, was suspended from the game for missing curfew. I know UCF's defense got torched yet again -- this time for 433 yards. I know Moffett completed only 19 of 44 passes, threw two interceptions and was sacked three times. But this one's on me, fellas. If you're handing out condemnation, give me two helpings. And as long as we know Leavitt is a regular reader of the Sentinel, can we ask you one question, Jimbo: WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO END THIS SERIES? Why would you want to stop playing a team you own? If UCF couldn't beat USF on Saturday, you wonder whether it ever will happen. UCF had an announced crowd of 46,708 on its side; and it would have been significantly larger if USF had brought all its academic nonqualifiers. UCF had a senior quarterback; USF had a freshman. For UCF, there are no answers today -- only questions: Didn't O'Leary used to coach defense? Wasn't he once the defensive coordinator of an NFL team? Aren't there four coaches on UCF's coaching staff who used to be defensive coordinators at other schools? Then how can USF freshman Matt Grothe pass for 302 yards and three touchdowns and run for 73 more? How can UCF allow USF to drive 90 yards late in the fourth quarter for the winning touchdown? How can UCF's defense be so consistently bad? Where's the toughness? Where's the nastiness? It's one thing for UCF to be badly outplayed by the University of Florida, a program that has been around for 100 years. It's quite another for the Golden Knights to have to live with knowing they are clearly behind a USF program that is in a better conference, has better players -- and is only 10 years old. The atmosphere was electric Saturday. The fans were incredible. But the reality was harsh. Mike Bianchi can be reached at mbianchi@orlandosentinel.com.
  10. I can see radio broadcasters being homers. They are trying to describe a game to people who can't see it and getting excited is fine by me. However, the in-house PA guy does not need to be a cheerleader, we have those on the sidelines. Just tell me who caught the ball, who made the tackle and if there was a flag on the play.
  11. Once again the fans come in last place. The almighty TV dollar = weekday neutral site = no fans.
  12. Bulls football is NOT the NBA. Porter's cheesy cheerleading throughout the game is embarrassing. "LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE BULLS DEEEEEEFENSE" Ugh. I have the utmost confidence in the Bulls fans to know when to crank up the noise. I don't need PP to tell me it is third and long.
