  1. Triple B mentioned it earlier, but youth sports hurts our attendance for noon games. Our program is only 20 years old. A majority of our fan base has young kids. Chances are that if you are a college sports fan, your kids are involved in youth sports. You can't blame a parent for choosing their kid's game over a Bulls game. I texted 6 of my buddies to see if they were going to the game Saturday, and they all had the same response: kids have games. The only reason I went with the family is because my kids games were cancelled due to field conditions. If the games were still on, I would have been at their games and missed homecoming. You also have to take into account that people can now follow both....watch your kids game in person and follow the Bulls game on a smart phone. It makes the decision that much easier. People also forget that USF lost a ton of casual fans after a demotion to the AAC. It sucks to admit, but it's true. In the Big East, the locals felt as if USF was in the big leagues. USF pushed the BCS inclusion in everything they printed. People were excited that USF had joined the league that Miami and Va Tech had just exited. I think we lost a lot of those casual fans that would show up for a USF vs. Cuse, Ville, WVU. ECU and the AAC doesn't have that same draw. Finally, I think the hurricane did stop some travel of people from the east coast as well. It was a perfect storm of suck and the students didn't make up for it. Some of them didn't want to sit in the heat, some probably have Saturday jobs, and some may have gone home to be with family during the storm. All we can do is move on and try to improve. Go Bulls!
  2. http://nationalchamps.net/Helmet_Project/ I think this guy is a little behind on recent USF changes, but the history is there.
  3. usf changed the athletic logo to robo goat just before football started playing games
  4. Dodd has a love affair with UCF. Not sure why. Most everyone else has USF higher than UCF at this point.
  5. this seems to go along with the 'war on i4' announcement. not sure either school would go for the 'war on i4' if there was a possibility of leaving the other in the dust. i think we are both in or both out.
  6. I think WKU put up a few yards and points on Allen's D as well.
  7. FSU has been playing football for 70 years UF has been playing football for 100+ years. USF has been a school for 60 years. These things take time.
  8. If things go really well for USF and it looks like a repeat of last week for FSU: Dejav
  9. Never really had to use it before, but would like to use an apple tv to get college gameday Saturday morning while tailgating. Thanks
  10. So going back a few years...what would the standings be?
  11. is there wifi in the parking lot? lot 6?
  12. Coaching: Even. Jimbo Fisher has won a national championship, but Taggart is building an AAC power. Not really the same, but okay.
  13. will never forget that first big east game
  14. http://www.thedailystampede.com/2016/9/14/12894754/usf--big-xii-conference-presentation-materials-released-judy-genshaft-mark-harlan see the slides
  15. Years ago USF had a watch party at the Sun Dome for a game like this. Maybe they could have one at the baseball stadium.
  16. Played 19 years of football. 18 different helmets used.
  17. Justin Hue ‏@CincyBeerGuru 2h2 hours ago Justin Hue Retweeted J Memphis and UCF fans duking it out for "Most Offended" award for being left out of Big 12 convo.
