Cornada

Kind of reminds me of "Last Call" where we've been striking out all night and so we throw on or beer glasses and settle for the fugly one and hope the glasses don't fall off.

D@mn.  I enjoyed JR's posts.  My condolences go out to his family.  RIP.

Would Coach Jose F. succeed as a MBB coach?  Would his philosophy work?

Yeah, Hanks is good and is loaning us the space but it is not Hanks BBQ. 

Bobby is on site by now and will be camping out all night smoking da meat.  

What you get for $15 dollars would cost you 2 to 3 times that in a good BBQ restaurant.

Hope some of you can make it.

A good friend of mine is holding a charity BBQ this Saturday for Operation Helping Hand.   OHH helps wounded servicemen/veterans and their families.  It is from 11 am to 3 pm, next to Hanks BBQ on Dale Mabry (see flyer for more details).  If you're in the mood for some good BBQ, please come by and get satiated while you support a great charity.  I'll be helping out, please say hi to me if you come by (ask for Chris, I'll be wearing a USF hat).

For more info on the charity, please go to: operationhelpinghandtampa.com

This message is Brad approved (I got his blessing before posting).

Thanks!!

Ahhhh, the annual offseason optimism. We all have it to some degree. There's nothing really tangible to create it, but hope does spring eternal. I bet we'll have some when we hire a basketball coach, too.

USF is like daylight savings versus daylight standard times.  We "Spring" forward with optimism in the off season and then we "Fall Back" for standard time when reality hits during the season.

Just wait until next year....

Concessions prices were way down especially when compared to places like RayJay. And I believe they've still made large profits on concessions

More concessions are sold when the prices are low...resulting in happy sport fans and good profits for the concessioner.

I'll need to know where every dollar goes before I can support.

Wow.  Glad I'm not a Ravens fan.

I was also guessing WVU 2007.  Greatest college football event of my life.  Gonna be hard to beat, but I bullieve it will happen someday.

Hope I live to see it.  I only have 20-25 years of football watching left in me.

Awesome 

I haven't done a lot of research because I struggle with supporting NIL on top of supporting the school (infrastructure) programs.  If/when I do, I would expect full financial disclosure from the NIL foundation.  For example, how much are the "administrative" fees, how much did they receive and how much goes out and to who.

Glad I spent the weekend in the woods.  It was a much better investment of my spare time.

There's a "First Look" Event for the IPF tomorrow night too.

Why are we never the "other" team in the last 5 minutes of games like this.  Never.

Because We Are USF and that's what we do (in all Men's sports anyway).

Who are these guys?  They can play.  

Wait Until Next Year

I appreciate a player for the time their contributions and keep it moving. I don't have time to be all bitter and angry when a player leaves. I definitely don't have time to crap on a player's on field achievements b/c he left the team either. Many fans  done quit on this team and always have something negative to say about USF. Yet you get mad when a player wants to move on? Too many of you guys need to get out of your feelings period. When a player leaves us, I get excited b/c a better player may or will come along. The portal taketh and the portal giveth. This is entertainment to me...nothing else. If I want to be a poo-butt, miserable and complain all day then I won't even bother coming to this blog. I have plenty of  **** happening in real life to be "feeling some type of way" about and even then I don't bother complaining. It takes way too much energy to be so **** negative. 

Just because a player quits, and I call him a quitter doesn't mean I'm angry.  Sometimes a cigar is a cigar.

Because there is likely more to it, and humans are complex beings.  Deciding from afar that a person you have never once spoken to is a quitter is going to often be an incorrect conclusion, unless the player takes of his jersey and walks off the field in the middle of a game.

He didn't play the last two games.  That's a quitter in my book (unless he was injured or he broke some team rule).

Hopefully Weaver won’t sit out any games to ponder his future next season. 

There may be more to it, but from my perspective it appears that he's a quitter, so why do we want him back?

Not saying it's good or bad, but we sure do get a lot of our coaches from the FAU pipeline.
