At least we're not MAC, or now CUSA

Oddly enough, per the conference press release only Tulsa and Tulane do not have guaranteed opponents. Thought that was a little strange. That said, I hope they don't schedule the guaranteed teams to play in the final week.

Any idea who the schmuck was who interrupted MK with that question?

This would be extremely similar to the Buccaneers pulling Bruce Arians out of retirement and building a staff, with the goal to retire and hand off to a new HC on staff and keep staff together. Hiring CJL would also do wonders to establish the OCS.

Yes, I saw Wawa ads on the ends of the court at the basketball game against UTampa on Tuesday.

I like this friend of USF teminology. I attended for 2 years, and then transferred to Saint Leo.

The man has the Iconic U and RayJay tattooed on his back. Hardly embarassed. I wish the folks who give players crap for saying something other than their university would really find other things that interest them. He's not...

The Big Storm Brewery locations in Odessa (Pasco), Clearwater, and Orlando are taking donations:

You also have to think the our game was a full day earlier, and ECU had to fly in. Airports were closed with no idea when they would reopen.

Brandon/Riverview here. Lots of tree debris in roadways, some pooling water in the usual places. We didn't lose power at my place, but there are many places nearby that did. Traffic signals along 301 from Bloomingdale to Rhodine are mostly out. My thoughts go out to the folks in the Fort Myers/Naples/Punta Gorda/Port Charlotte area down south. Some of the footage I've seen is devastating.

You don't need to be "traditional". To my knowledge, HOT does have the shakos (or "funny hats" as you call them). Theyre not the only marching band to don baseball caps in uniform.

Next Monday is probably likely. I know ESPN can enact a 6 day window in some cases, but usually that's not until later in the season I think.

Just trying make conversation. Sorry that you don't appreciate it.

I know this is long term planning, but once we have our wonderful OCS, lets say ESPN came calling to host Gameday on campus. What are some locations you'd think would be great sites?

Is there a link available or a promo code for these tickets? I had some friends ask me about this game and I want to pass along the info. Ticketmaster doesn't show them actively.

I think I also read somewhere that UCLA follows a quarterly schedule, and not semesters, so classes are just starting up this week.

I found this article from a few years ago. It states "Conference referees call intraconference games, but two teams playing an out-of-conference matchup decide who will supply the officials by agreeing on a contract before the game — in most cases, the onus lies on the road team to supply the referees." Column | NCAA’s conference-affiliated referee system must go - The Pitt News Nobody wins when poor officiating decides a thrilling sporting event, and fans come away underwhelmed. Staff writer Griffin Floyd argues the NCAA should reduce... The following article was tagged in the above one, and makes a lot of sense. OOC games should really have neutral refs. To avoid conflicts of interest, time has come for neutral referees at nonconference games - CBSSports.com The practice of visiting teams 'bringing' officials to other campuses has not stood the test of time

Not that this is an excuse for anything, but the game for UCLA yesterday started at a very non-traditional west coast kickoff time of 11am Pacific/2pm Eastern.

Physicality, focus, be competitive.

If you're talking about the helmet stripes, I think they're gold foil.

Strictly hypothetical, because I want to see more of this season play out before siding one way or another on CJS, but what about Ed Orgeron?

Wouldn't surprise me to see this happen. It's not like the university doesn't have any DSO's already. The operations of the Yuengling Center is already a DSO. https://www.usf.edu/business-finance/purchasing/resources/dso.aspx
