    Why as BULLS fans do we knock the AAC

    in USF South Florida Bulls Athletics

    Posted

    I remember a school from Florida with very little football success that joined a no name/startup football conference and went on to do quite well. Oh yeah that was MIAMI and though I was young you didn’t hear how they were in a bad conference. UM just went out and destroyed everyone and everything in their way. In the CJL era we had the swagger both from the player and the fan base.

     

    We need to get it back and this time keep it.

    Easy answer. USF was in a better house from a national peception wise when the BIG EAST was in BCS. Cincy, UConn, and USF should be the only ones upset about the conference because all three schools got downgraded by birth of the P5. USF had their chance but they blew it. Was it firing Leavitt that blew it? We will never know. With that said. I think the AAC is the best non P5 conference. We are lucky to have it right now as we could be in the Sun Belt or C-USA. The AAC did beat BIG 12 champ last year in BCS bowl. The AAC did win the mens and womens hoops national title. To me, the AAC is underrated. The national peception just thinks we are no good, but I will argue that the AAC has been and will be one of the top hoops conferences. 

    And all in 2 short years in the national view of things even though we are the BE with a face lift we are a NEW conference. The national media, who are we kidding ESPN/ABC will have no option but to start to recognize the AAC more and more if as a conference and a school we start to win more and more.

    Regardless of your personal feelings of where you think we "should" be USF is in the AAC which may not be the best but then again it’s not the worse conference we as fans should embrace OUR conference instead of knocking it.

     

     

    It’s like saying your home is nice but you knock it because it’s not in Avila so it stinks. Sure a home in Avila is a goal but will you say to your friends my home is ok for the area but it’s no Avila? Hell no you go out work your ass off to improve both your current home and putting yourself in the best situation to get that home in Avila when the opportunity arises.

     

     

    I’m just sick of hearing BULLS fans saying this year’s class is good for being in the AAC but boy we need to be in the BIG12 or ACC. Simple fact is we are not in the B12 or ACC just as teams in those conferences are not in the PAC12, SEC, or the B10 and in the same way some teams in the CUSA, MAC, MWC, and Sunbelt want to be in the AAC.

     

     

     

    I don’t recall hearing USF fans ***** and complain (other than Smazza because he complains just to complain) when we got into CUSA or when we arrived to the Big East. We’re happy to first be in a conference with bowl ties and then a BCS conference.

     

     

    We should embrace where we are and work our tails off to get where we want to be.

    USF vs the college sports world.

    Athletic Players - Leavitt v. Holtz/Taggert

    The biggest difference between the players we had under Leavitt to those of Holtz (I'm not going to say CWT yet) is CJL's players had a chip on their shoulders and had a us against the world mentality. Under Holtz it was totally different the players under him seemed to feel the arrived and the world (college football) owed them respect rather than earning it. Yet I'm a little bias to CJL.

     

     

     

    We need to get back to the "F" the world mentality which I think we could be on the way back to. GO BULLS :iconic_u_black: 

     

    Let no man forget how menacing we are, we are BULLS! Do you know what's waiting beyond that field? Immortality! Take it! It's yours!
