Ok, I will say it. "Joey Knight will destroy us!"

Did his last name give it away?

Which team do you think has the higher payroll?

I guess I should have not assumed that you had seen his commentary about it being a great thing.

I see what you are saying. Too funny. Bianchi would disagree, of course.

I am on the next one now regarding just how much I am willing to cough up. I wish I could qualify my answers. If it is a fine stadium which is well built and I am comfortable, 25 bucks. If it is a tin can of a place, 5 bucks.

So, I am doing it now. I have gotten to the question regarding expectations of ticket prices. The question is weighted since it states that the on campus stadium will have "improved game day experience and amenities". Even without that promise, is there really anyone who does not expect prices to go up? If they could keep similar prices for individual tickets , I would still expect the donor levels to increase in cost .

You are right about this. In fact, I believe he was one of the main reasons that the Big East took a chance on USF.

I think you misunderstand. I was initially agreeing with you, just stating that there were circumstances which led to the money issues and that it wasn't just the money issues alone which led to the shutdown. Ultimately, is was a good thing for their program. I have no love for UAB. I feel that their AD back in the beginning of our program was behind keeping us out of CUSA football for awhile despite the fact that USF was a charter member. I just hate to see things like that debacle occur.

You can believe anything you want to. I know the history and the truth. I am not the only one. I am not anywhere near a fan of that program . I would rather that they fail on their own and not because of old grudges from Bear Bryant Jr. and Co.

I think the the shut down of the UAB program had more to due with the University of Alabama trustees who had some old scores to settle. Even so, it seems the results are the same as you mentioned about waking up the boosters.

Cannot argue with the cavernous stadium. I was responding to the remarks about the atmosphere. I assumed you meant the fan involvement or excitement.

USF football was still in recovery from the Skippy Poo doldrums. Would have been the same if there was an on campus stadium.
