  1. Anybody know roughly the time they are supposed to be doing their walk through on Friday? Will be eating lunch near stadium after Graceland and thought we may be able to see them walk in.
  2. "Horns > Spear" With an FSU spear breaking in half over Bull's Horns. "Hey Indians, you thought a bird with actual teeth was bad last week, wait till you meet a shark with horns" Love the "Fear The Gore" "Frenchy, meet Bullshark" With image of their QB surrounded by Bullsharks "Silly Indians, You can't swim with the sharks" Bullshark image.
  3. Was waiting for gameweek to bring Jimbo's bulletin board material up. If you remember from the Summer of 2009 Jimbo Fisher (assistant to Bobby at the time) told reporters that USF coming up to Doak and playing FSU for the first time was going to be like the Super Bowl for them. Later that Summer at an alumni event with the coaches, I asked Jim Leavitt if he was aware of Jimbo's comments. He said he did hear that and something to the affect that the whole locker room was well aware of it. Well, we all know how our 2009 Super Bowl turned out. I remember before going up to the game trying to find inflatable Lombardi trophies to take to the game. Fast forward to Spring of 2016 and Jimbo did a "Oh No He Didn't" remark. When asked about the FSU-USF game, the dang Super Bowl reference came up again. http://www.tampabay.com/sports/college/jimbo-fisher-talks-fsu-football-schedule-dalvin-cook-and-usfs-super-bowl/2278608 Much like in 2009 with Leavitt, I had a chance to talk one on one with Taggart this Summer about the history of Jimbo's comments and how Leavitt and the team was well aware of it. His reply was "Well, we are just going to have to win the Super Bowl, then". Someone please start a sign idea thread for Saturday's game as it is our "Super Bowl" Dag Gummit.
  4. Probably installing all new lights for television. 1K and 4K cameras work best with a specific color and illumination. They did same thing for newly renovated Dolphins stadium this year.
  5. Current roster shows only 3 QBs and no Selvie......did he land somewhere else?
  6. Did not know that. Any type of contract or just at the camp? Half way down in the pictures with Manning and Syracuse QB: http://www.newsday.com/sports/football/giants/new-york-giants-otas-2016-pictures-1.11832187
  7. I saw from the USF Equipment pictures that we are wearing the dark green tops. Does this mean we won a coin toss last Thursday during the introduction conference or was it decided some other way? Does this also mean our sideline is on the West Side near our seats and in the shade most of the game if the roof is open? We know helmet/pant combination (have not seen a spinning Bull player with total uniform yet)?
  8. Sunday Night Hotel: Two Rooms at Loew's Miami Beach (Team Hotel and site of Sunday Afternoon Pep Rally), Live an hour North but did not want to drive back and forth for events. Last time I stayed at team hotel was Auburn and that worked out nicely. Tailgate: Shooting for the small W2 lot closest to the stadium on West Side at 8AM opening.
  9. check the parking maps again...outdoor parking on east and west sides...will be getting there early to set up in W1 or W2 or W3
  10. The alumni event was nice but then 99.9999 percent Kentucky fans at the arena. We are back to being a football school though....right?
  11. Since we actually have a legitimate shot at beating them next year. The question is how do we keep it a home crowd unlike how it was last time at RayJay. The other exciting thought is that if both teams are undefeated going in.......this may be our first shot at GameDay being at RayJay.
  12. Corner of Gemini and Libra is where Bulls Outfitters had an incredible tailgate 2 years ago with large Rocky inflated right at the corner. Looks like it is red lot B11 on that map right across from the water tower. This would be a great place to meet up again this year as there is a large grass area in front to throw footballs and such.I plan on having my smaller 8ft Rocky inflated along with Sat TV hookup. Probably getting there by 4PM (dang Thanksgiving...wish they kept this on Friday). Look for a white SUV and an inflated Rocky The Bull.
  13. Yes we have, but only once.....we beat FAU at home on Thursday well before the famed "ESPN - Erin Andrews - Insert Another Sideline Blonde Curse" ever started.
  14. Watching the game after getting back from Wisconsin a day late due to the controller issue, I confirmed a lot of things that I saw from the stands: Referee Issues: Play 1: Pass Interference - See picture above, I could tell he raked his right arm from the opposite corner of the stands. ESPN announcers agreed and the picture above is proof. Maybe a bang-bang but refs seemed to see all the other interference called on us. Play 2: Our left DE, I believe, is clearly held right out in the open where they eventually completed a 15 yd pass. ESPN announcers clearly saw it and agreed. Play 3: Fumble recovery of Gordon at end of the first half. The Bulls player that recovered the ball had his right knee on top of the Wisconsin players leg. The whistle was never blown the entire time until the head ref saw our player already running 5 yds down the field and then you heard the whistles.....what the heck is up with that. Play 4: On the "fake" clear out fair catch by Wisconsin, he started to run with the ball after the whistle. A couple hours later a similar thing happened in the FSU game where they ran after the fair catch. We were yelling from the stands that it was a penalty. It was flagged at FSU as a 5 yard delay of game. With all this, we catch the ball and not lateral to a defender for the second week in a row and not fumble at the 10, we probably have a good shot. At least definitely a better game despite the refs.
  15. How sad...4-5 years ago, we would have been the easy favorites over Maryland, especially early in the season.
  16. Before yesterday, the State of Florida only had two teams reach a top two ranking in the history of the BCS. Miami still has a chance to make it four teams this year. Like FSU is this week, USF was also ranked #1 in the computer poll back then - for less than 5 days (Ohio State was #2 in computer, #1 BCS).
  17. I remember how everyone use to rag on him for the late hits and dropped ints while he was here. He also had a lot of ints and defended passes as well and we would give anything to have him in the secondary the last two years.
  18. Just an FYI....unless you are a camper, everything I saw was that lots open 4 hrs prior to kickoff which would be 11AM. Sounds like you will have a pre-tailgate for two hours in the Walmart lot.....coming down around 11AM from Palm Beach County and plan on heading over to your West lots. Look for the tallest flagpole (28ft) in all of the land with both the Bulls and Bucs flags flying. 561 out.
  19. Would love to know what he gets for that. One time payout.....100K, 500K? Residuals per run of it?
  20. There will be anywhere from 4 to 8 in our group (Live down here and have same lower level Bulls sideline seats I did 2 years ago thru Alumni here). Looking for another (harder this time) win so we can clean up on some UA game-worn victory swag. Son needs the other side of the U for a pair of UA gloves.
  21. Off the field: - What is up with FSU ladies and the cowboy boots. I know they like to wear the hats but the boots and a sun dress? Only a very very small percentage of these girls can pull that look off. Most around the tailgates agreed with a laughing response. Don't get me started on some of them wearing the Pocahantas outfit too...eeegad. - Big time atmosphere: Blimp with live shots, banner planes, crazy traffic getting in but I new it was a bad scene at the first sight of all the FSU tailgate tents in our donor lots South of the stadium. Way too many sold out to their fans. The only good thing that comes out of this besides taking a lot of their money is this was a perfect example of our location being perfect. When we come close to a following like that, we will not struggle with home support due to being another 2+ hours farther out than Gainesville. - Be nice to Native American Weekend in Tampa Bay?: Both Noles and Skins win. Why couldn't MLB just schedule the Cleveland Indians to play the Rays and make it a trifecta...geesh. (Blackhawks want to break the lockout and come down too....would have been worth their while). On the field: Key negative events during game: 1- Slipping on 1st kickoff left ball short and returnable for huge return with drive resulting in 7 pts. 2- No booth review on short pass where ball tip was trapped on ground. Announcing booth got it, BE replay booth did not. Blocked punt 2 plays later. 3- No booth review on long pass where ball was not under control until foot was out of bounds. Announcing booth got it, BE replay booth did not. Play actually started with a delay of game that was not flagged. Resulting drive led to 3 pts. How would it be tolerated if the EJ fumble was never reviewed....expecting a BE inquiry response. 4- Hootie finally got pegged in the head by the 2nd contestant. 5- Interception before half that led to FSU getting another 3 pts. 6- Allowing backup to try and make a play and not hand off. Immediately led to 7 pts. 7- BJ did some type of sprinkler dance pose with his right hand behind helmet as he ran into the endzone....refs let it slide...maybe as a makeup call. Poor James Wilder Jr. - Not a very good welcome back to Tampa for him. Bulls D destroyed him every time he got the ball (pass or run). He looked unstoppable vs Clemson in 2nd half. He looked very weak and small for our game. O'Leary got pummeled too but he made a lot of catches...why r we not covering him...he made like 3 catches in a row to set up field goal. Play with same intensity the rest of the year and we win a majority of the games.
  22. ACC on the field and BigEast in the replay booth ....which is ridiculous as we have such a bad history of being jobbed by the booth.....I am assuming we can request a formal explanation from BE on what they were thinking on the two non-reviewed plays.
  23. If we played the first four games like we did Sat. Night, we are easily 4-1 right now.
  24. Clock was definitely at zero for at least a full second Saw that too but forgot about it with the play ..... Have to check to see. That was the same play that the Big East Replay Officials did not stop with FSU receiver bobbling the ball with a foot out of bounds. I thought that was a different play. It was 3rd and 10 and they hit a pass up the middle on it. Nope....same play....EJ in shot gun....play clock at 00 on ESPN screen (auto appears when less the 5 secs left, I believe). Center snapped, EJ stayed in pocket and let it rip. Watched it late last night after driving back from Tampa to the 561....I could be wrong but pretty sure on this one. Anyways, it was just crap that the BE officials stop the game for I believe the Hopkins 10yd catch for a first down in the first half but do not for a 40+ yd critical play in the second half.
  25. Clock was definitely at zero for at least a full second Saw that too but forgot about it with the play ..... Have to check to see. That was the same play that the Big East Replay Officials did not stop with FSU receiver bobbling the ball with a foot out of bounds. I went frame by frame and play clock went to 00 for almost a half second before center snapped. Then for them not to review the play after they had no problem reviewing our receiver on the sideline for only a 10 yard catch. Cost us 3 points there. Definitely need an answer from Big East. Prior to that, there was the other FSU drop that replay clearly showed tip of the ball trapped on ground. That was when Skip was asking side judge where the heck was the review. Then he laughed realizing Big East was controlling the replay. Someone please bring the crap up during radio show or with Greg Auman. How would FSU fans be today if the EJ fumble was never reviewed and that cost them another 3 pts.....ridiculous especially when ESPN announcers continue to joke about the no review 5 plays later.
