So what's the status of tailgating officially, does anyone know?? What time can we get there, what lots are available, and how much is parking?

USF 28-13 225 M. Edwards

hurrikeg party, great idea

i thought it was supposed to be here and gone by thursday anyways...

what's on saturday?

I figured now would be a good time to post this based on that growing thread about having to play the a-holes to the east. Does anyone remember the t-shirt that some of those idiots were wearing that said sucks with our "U"?? I was thinking we could brainstorm and come up with something more creative for this year for us to wear at their sh**hole stadium. I was thinking maybe something involving that jousting stick going limp. Let the ideas begin....

in the highlight film, how come this kid is always throwing on the run?? I sense another pat julmiste; smazza is right about this one.

He's going to NC State :-?

He did not have his mom call, the coaches tried to contact his mom about where he was and she flipped. It's because of what she said to the media that he's not going back to nebraska. This kid's a stud, we would be lucky to have him. P.S. That SEC school thing is b.s. because i know they've contacted teams from other conferences

^^Exactly^^ and right now Callahan is being difficult in releasing him

Smazz, have no fear, THEY ARE INTERESTED! For political reasons, however, they can't say they are

Let's just say I have an inside connection, but Rod Smith was contacted and wanted Beck a lot. This whole USF is not interested is crap, where did Brett get that from?

lol, i was thinking the same thing. "UCF is awfully good..." that's laughable

I'm just glad it doesn't say Dolphins on it. Just curious, do you have any reason to hate the bucs or is it just a jealousy thing?

Pittsburgh has a couple of picks coming up, I bet he'll end up there

I'll puke if that happens... :-X my gut says he'll go to pittsburgh

is it me, or have the teams the past few years (with next year's squad included) looked completely different every season??

has Andre going #129 overall in the fourth round to pittsburgh. do you guys really think he'll go that low?? The OU/OC/FTU WR Marshall, which I believe 'Dre had more receiving yards that game, is projected as going in the third round #85 overall to KC. Thoughts?

I sincerely doubt the sheriff will be eating any BS crow served to him from a Gayturd; he'd be more likely to kill himself. If you had a real team playing you in the final four, instead of "Gift" Mason, i think Florida's results in the tourney would have been a little different. Oh, and go F yourself stupid Gayturd

Marks!! ;D

Maybe as big of a fool as you look coming back to a USF board a day after your team wins a championship. Congrats you pompous @$$hole, just watch out for us in football. We'll have our day against the Gators in due time...

That, combined with your signature, just furthers the point that you are a moron.

Dunno if this has been addressed yet, but the new website is up and looks pretty good

I'm probably breaking rules doing this, but think of it as a gift to my fellow Bulls: "Bullet Head, Snake, and Father Ben form Talented Trio" Which feels better -- blasting a seven-point buck or belting a five-star back? "That's a tough one," says University of South Florida middle linebacker Ben Moffitt, who has experienced both. "I love the feeling of making a good goal-line stand. But, I don't know, shooting a buck kind of lasts a little bit longer." Credit Mike Carlson/Icon SMI South Florida's "Snake" is primed for a big season. Big Mr. Moffitt plans to give lots of ball carriers that deer-in-the-headlights look this season. He anchors coach Jim Leavitt's 4-3 defense and represents a third of what promises to be a dynamic linebacking crew, one that returns intact for a second straight season. It might be the best in the Big East. On Moffitt's left is an NFL-caliber pass rusher in Stephen Nicholas. On his right is hard-hitting Patrick St. Louis. The three native Floridians recently gathered for a group phone interview -- and they weren't shy about answering questions such as, "Who's the best team in the Big East?" "I mean, we are," Nicholas said. "We are. I always feel we're the best team." OK, who has the best linebackers? "The South Florida Bulls," St. Louis said. "The University of South Florida Bulls." That remains to be seen, as the Big East is stocked with quality linebackers. But this much is certain: Nobody has 'backers with better nicknames. St. Louis goes by "Bullet Head." "Stephen Nicholas says my head is shaped like a bullet," St. Louis said. Nicholas has been called "Snake" since his freshman year when linebackers coach Wally Burnham noticed how easily he eluded blockers in drills. "He said, 'You just wiggle back through there, don't you?'" Nicholas said. "Then [ex-teammate] Maurice Jones started saying it, and then it got real big and here I am: Snake." Moffitt goes by "Father Ben," because he is married with two children: son Trevor, 3, and daughter Rylan, 1. "I was married in high school at 17 and had my first kid at 18," Moffitt says when asked what it's like to be a father. "I've gotten used to it. It's part of your life. Other people work and have kids." “ If he's not one of the better linebackers in the country this season, I'll be shocked. There's not a real weakness there. † South Florida coach Jim Leavitt on Stephen Nicholas St. Louis and Nicholas are seniors, while Moffitt is a redshirt junior. The three rolled up 265 tackles and 12½ sacks last season, helping USF to finish third in the Big East in total defense in its first year in the league. Moffitt was third in the conference in tackles, St. Louis seventh and Nicholas 14th. Nicholas and Moffitt combined for 30½ tackles for loss last season, and Nicholas registered seven sacks. Stylewise, they are quite different. Nicholas (6-foot-3, 225 pounds) is the stud, edge rusher. He was ready to leave for the NFL this spring until he was told he'd likely be chosen around the fourth round. "I'm not a fourth-round pick," he says. It's hard to miss Nicholas. He plays with white socks pulled to his knees and usually spends a lot of quality time with the quarterback. "If he's not one of the better linebackers in the country this season, I'll be shocked," Leavitt said. "There's not a real weakness there." St. Louis recounted an amazing play Nicholas made last season, against UConn, when he was cut by a running back but crawled on all fours to sack the quarterback. "Stephen Nicholas crabbed all the way there," St. Louis said. The 6-1, 220-pound St. Louis is the heavy hitter. Moffitt calls him a "heat-seeking missile." St. Louis made a game-changing hit against Louisville last season, forcing a Michael Bush fumble in South Florida's 45-14 romp. "I tell him all the time, 'Hey, make something happen!'" Nicholas said. "Well, he met [bush] in the hole and hit him there. That got me real excited. I liked that." Moffitt (6-2, 235) calls the signals and blows up running plays. He's always around the ball. All three of them are. It has become a competition to see who gets there first, though it'll be a bigger challenge this year because some quality defensive linemen -- the guys who tie up blockers -- have graduated. Moffitt forced four fumbles last season. He brings serious pop to the line of scrimmage. You might even say he brings the wood, seeing as his body is sculpted from years of moving trees. "My father has a tree business," Moffitt said. "I've grown up with cutting trees and tree removal and all that stuff. It's pretty hard work, very physical work." All that strength transferred to the weight room, where Moffitt set a record for the school's linebackers, squatting 10 repetitions of 480 pounds. He has tied the clean-and-jerk record of 365 pounds and now is shooting for 370. "I had it on my shoulder and missed it," he said. "I'm going to get it one day." Father Ben acknowledges that he, Bullet Head and Snake have different styles. But, he says, "I think we're a lot alike in some of the stuff we do."

Funny stuff right there ET!! ;D
