Mission9

First, I take the full blame for feeling the need to give our new friend a little background for perspective. Now, please tell me you were talking about Knight. If you meant the guy I referenced who was on the radio, that would be news.

The absolute worst perpetrator was a guy on the radio who railed against anyone wearing an opposing team's jersey to any of the local professional team's games yet always took dumps on the local university.

No need to be sorry. The point of this whole thread is what I hope you understand. For the entire history of the program, most of the local media has been indifferent at best about the program when not dismissing or disparaging it. When we call them out on it, they get defensive and say that we want homers covering the program. This of course totally ignores the fact that most of us are very critical of the program ourselves, do not care for homers, and just want fair coverage .

Welcome. Wish we still could have FlowerPower9 on the roster again.

Thank you for that. I know many are not as old as I am and do not remember when Houston and SMU were big time SWC teams and do not know the history of Tulane being in the SEC. The old Tulane stadium was even large enough to host Super Bowls IV, VI, IX.

Too funny. Actually, you probably have more options than most, if I am correct. Not only have you been on a second account for years, you also have an account which was made to keep that miserable Eagle in Yune off of our board. Both moves greatly appreciated.

Most of it is not a surprise at all except maybe the fact that even Jerry Jones does not own his "World". Obviously, the Bucs technically do not own Raymond James. If the taxpayers had not voted to build. it, my guess is the Bucs may have moved (Orlando?) and USF would be still playing in the old Tampa Stadium.

Ponderous.

I have not listened to their show in years. Ponderous at best.

I was indifferent to amused at first but your point reminded me just how great this is. I wonder what of all those clowns and miscreants who defended DUImig and 620 in general have to say now. I have been reminded how they drove a very good guy off of this board in their cowardly defense of a station and personality who mocked all of us on a regular basis.

His hatred for USF was so unabashed that had he known it would happen just after his death I will bet he would have fought harder to stay alive longer.

I am unsure as to why you brought up points 1 to 3 as I had already conceded that those certainly may work out for you. Keep in mind, any point about USF building a stadium is not a criticism of UCF. You pretty much had to build a stadium. USF does not. In keeping with my anti-debt position when future earnings, fan support, and conference affiliation are precarious at best, why build a second rate stadium while playing in a second rate conference if you do not HAVE to? While UCF fans have to be given credit for being excited for playing in and winning in the AAC, most USF fans can be front running phonies and do not care if the Bulls win the AAC or not. The fans want sizzle in the steak like Alabama and Florida. You cannot and will not get those teams to show up to a 30K bleacher filled boondoggle on Fowler Ave but you can get them to come to Raymond James. Different fanbases, different circumstances. Just an added comment, it is amusing that Pitt, Miami, and even USC do not suffer any criticism at all for playing in stadiums which have NFL games but Temple and USF do. Must be Pee 5 privilege.

Ok, I knew there had to be a comment from you but I am a little underwhelmed. I thought that you would point out the absurdity of seeing "exciting" next to "AAC" in the heading. That said, I will have to see if this app is worthwhile.

It seems to me, if UCF fan wants to say that the stadium gives them a boost of pride, school spirit, or a better gameday atmosphere, most here would have no problem with that opinion. On the other hand, to say that UCF is making money hand over fist, or better yet, that USF should build their own stadium so that we can reap the benefits of all of the cash than an "OCS" would bring is a bogus opinion. The numbers do not lie. If getting to a so called Power Conference is the main goal, I would argue that Raymond James is more power conference worthy than any OCS that USF could build right now. There is a guy on the radio who pounds the statement "Debt is dumb" on a daily basis. If USF is stuck in AAC purgatory, I would have to say debt on a mini , bleacher filled stadium would be dumb since we do not have to build one at this time.
