Please don't quote Lemming, it'll kill any credibility you have

You'll be posting here tomorrow at about this time, right?  

May as well let another set of rumors swirl regarding transfers.  He would be a great talent at USF, but I don't think the baggage is worth it.

Lynn is tough.  They pretty much took it to UT as well.

I did it for him

Borders Leads Tampa to Victory Over #8 Florida Southern

Lakeland, Fla. – Mark Borders scored a team-high 23 points as the University of Tampa (11-2, 2-0) men’s basketball team posted a 65-54 road victory over eighth-ranked Florida Southern (9-3, 1-1).

Tampa led for all 40 minutes of the game as Chris Evans scored 17 points in the first-half to help the Spartans to a 33-19 halftime lead. Evans finished with 20 points and 12 rebounds along with three blocked shots. Borders, the Sunshine State Conference leader in assists, led the Spartans with seven.

The Spartans shot 40.0 percent from the field and held the Moccasins to a 30.8 percent mark. Tampa’s defense also held Florida Southern’s leading scorer Michael Simms to two points. Tampa also outrebounded Florida Southern 40-31.

Tampa is back in action on Saturday as it hosts Lynn at 4:00 pm.

Just for you, ET  ;D

MikeG,

It's common knowledge that Bowden does everything he can to NOT start a freshman at QB.  His goal, and how they got through the dynasty years, was to get a cycle where the first start for a QB was their redshirt Jr year.  You must be mixing up coaches in this.

I knew about this like 4 days ago.

We aren't getting him if that is what your hoping for. I'm not sure he's any better than Hill or Grothe or some other guy we have in the first place.

Do we want a guy who is afraid of the competition that lies in front of him anyway? He'd have to earn it here just like anyone else. "You will be my starter" tall tales are more of a Tallahassee specialty.

You mean Gainseville, right?  Bowden doesn't use that line.  That was how Ron Zook was pulling in the recruits.  For what it's worth, Spurrier and Meyer don't use that line, either.

If I remember right, the SEC (and other big conferences) have transfer rules where you must sit 2 years instead of 1 if you transfer within the conference, so Shaeffer would still have to sit another year at UF.

Not only will FSU be ranked, but I bet they inflate that ranking a little bit to something like #20. This even though you can't really say the 'Noles were the better team against Virginia Tech.

Umm....did you watch that game?  FSU was up 27-3 in the 4th quarter, absolutely dominated the Hokies.  

As long as there aren't any political roadblocks keeping Leavitt from doing what he needs to win (not being allowed to decide if assistants get hired or fired, etc,) I just don't see him leaving.

Not only is this his baby, his baby is right on the verge of growing up and doing big things.  I don't see him leaving after putting in all that hard work, just when it's about to go prime time.

Seeing how KSt is willing to offer Leavitt 3x's the amount he's making at USF, and how he has ties to KSt, it makes a lot of sense.

Took a real quick glance, so I may have missed it posted elsewhere.

Rumor is if Leavitt leaves for KSt, Jimbo Fisher will take the USF job.

Big East winner automatically gets in.  This possibly could change in a few years, but not now.  Move on to something more believable.

Triple, I had only read the first post when I replied.  After that is when I read the rest, my bad.

As for everyone else, I'm in grad school at USF right now.  I've seen both ends of it.  I've seen now how the administration handles the undergrad and graduate programs.  They don't care about the undergrad at all.  They put all their resources into the grad programs.  The profs don't care to teach an undergrad class, it's a necessary evil to them that just gets in their way.  And in doing so, they treat undergrad as such, and do not put their attention towards it, further diluting the undergrad education.  I completely agree that an education is what you take out of it, but there has to be some level of education to take before you can do such.

But hey, way to go in just assuming I "didn't get into" the school.

As for the topic at hand....no need to change the name.  USF is becoming a well-known "name" school nationally thanks to a) the football team being in the Big East, and the graduate programs turning USF into a top-notch research institution.

Oh, and one other thing, I wouldn't fit in with the Oracle.  That paper blows, and is WAY too left of me.

(oh I'm gonna take it on the chin on this one...)

No offense, but USF doesn't necessarily offer the most well-rounded, quality education out there in terms of undergrad.

Now if you want to talk about graduate programs, that's completely different.

Women's soccer.  Tampa absolutely pounded the Mocs.  FSC only had 1 shot on goal all game.  

Sorry, had to get this in before we get railed in bball  ;D

Not in the conference title hunt?  Who's gonna beat them on their side?  Miami?  Virginia?  They've already taken down arguably the best on that side in Georgia Tech.  The only team with a shot of knocking them off in the ACC is FSU.  Right now VT would probably be the best bet of any team to beat USC, although I doubt they'll get a shot since Texas won't be dropped if they run the table.

This is the reason why I read blowout all over this game.  Miami will absolutely stack the box and stuff Hall and force Julmiste to win it for USF.  I don't think he can against an athletic back-4 of Miami and their cover-2 system.

Read the Whit Watson blog on the Sun Sports site.  XL needs to get motivated both in the classroom and on the sidelines if he ever wants to be a collegiate QB anywhere.

I'm not worried about current IDs.  I'm wondering if they actually match the pictures to the person.  I know they scan, but word was they were in such a hurry to deal with the masses that they just grabbed and scanned, never really looking at the pics.  

Are IDs looked at closely?

I'm just counting down the days till FSC gets whipped at Pepin stadium to #4 Tampa in women's soccer.  That's a stud team that is definitely national championship caliber this year  ;D
