    UCF has a very impressive 2024 recruiting class. Out of 17 commits, they have 9 four stars and their class is ranked in the top 30 in the country. They had 9 four star recruits in total from 2017 to 2023. Only Texas Tech has a better class than them at this point.

    The main reason I don't want an early bowl game (Dec. 16th for example) is that it robs the team of additional practice time. The later the date, the better for trying to improve and potentially add a few wrinkles to the offense. It would be awesome for the players if they got to go to Hawaii. What an awesome reward, especially for the guys that stuck through the dark ages.

    Miami, Army, Navy, and, to a much lesser extent, UTSA would be one of our better home slates in quite sometime.

    28 Turnovers?!?! 28 Fouls?!?! 26 Point Win....Insane. These ladies have some work to do, but definitely have the talent to do it.

    I'm going to say that they don't win the conference title. If they beat Tulane on the road, they will lose to SMU in the title game. I still think USF can spring the upset.

    Just curious as to what metric(s) you are rating UTSA the best team in the conference? SMU is by far and away the best team in the conference on paper with a FPI of #22 and a SP+ of 28. UTSA is #57 and #48 respectively. In fact, their numbers are more in line with Memphis (#55/#60). Memphis has a better offense, UTSA a better defense. UTSA's best win on the season was against a 6-4 Texas State by 7 points. Don't get me wrong, we aren't at their level, but I don't know that they are world beaters. If 4-6 Army can beat them on the road (Army lost to UMASS and beat Holy Cross by 3), so can we.

    UTSA has feasted on the bottom of the conference. I'm not saying they aren't good, but they haven't played a team with a winning record in the AAC. If the defense from Temple shows up along with the offense from Memphis, we win this one on the road. I won't be disappointed if we lose but I am preparing for the one USF upset of the season.

    Anyone know our record at home all-time under a Waxing Gibbous moon?

    Current forecast predicts a high of 80 and low of 60, absolutely glorious weather!

    I broke down and dropped $100 on USF to cover. I'm envisioning a performance like we saw against Rice.

    You are so big on her and I'm not saying that she isn't good, but Carla should be starting and the first two games have shown that. She provides the energy and spark that this team needs.

    Voorhees is no joke! Really hard to stop.
  13. BullyPulpit
    We have made JV teams look like varsity in the past. We are winning how we should be, which is refreshing. Just enjoy it!
  14. BullyPulpit
    Realistically, we shouldn't be worse than 8-3. .500 overall is a very reasonable goal for this squad given the schedule.
  15. BullyPulpit
    I love the energy that she brings to the floor, but she just needs to learn how to control it a bit more. I think she will continue to grow and improve and be a team leader by her Senior season. 10 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals and a block in just 14 minutes of playing time is impressive. Her one blemish was the bad pass.
  16. BullyPulpit
    Can still win, but likely won't cover.
  17. BullyPulpit
    Temple isn't that bad. That is the point. Their strength, passing game, is our weakness. They are 3-4 with their starting QB healthy and he hit his stride the last two games. They have UTSA all they could handle. If USF can get it to an early lead I like our chances to win by double-digits, but that hasn't been the case of late.
  18. BullyPulpit
    I'm a bit worried about this one. Temple was without their starting QB, EJ Warner, against SMU and North Texas, two games that they got destroyed in. Last week, Warner returned against Navy and threw for 400 yards and 4 TDs. In his last two games against Navy and UTSA, Warner has thrown for 876 yards, 9 TDs, and 2 INTs. They only lost to UTSA by 15 and they were only down by 8 with 6.5 minutes left in the game. They can't run the ball worth a ****, but that actually helps them against us. Temple is 3-4 with Warner as a starter. We should beat them and ESPN's predictor says that we should actually be 9 point favorites, but I am not certain about this one.

    Played something like 13 players. Definitely our deepest team ever. Really liked what I saw with the exception of about 4 minutes in the 4th quarter, but that's a good lesson to learn. Going to be a fun season.
  20. BullyPulpit
    Totally dominated FAU. Played Memphis close this past week on the road, so definitely winnable. Also played close with SMU 2-1, so anything can happen if the Bulls get hot and play up to their capabilities.
  21. BullyPulpit
    They typically are decent, but they struggled a little bit early on against 3 good teams (Iowa, Air Force, and James Madison). They were 6-6 last year and 11-3 in 2021. Not world-beaters, but UCONN did well to almost beat them.
  22. BullyPulpit
    In 2018, there were just 24 coaches making $4 million + per season. In 5 short seasons since, that number has ballooned to 51. Saban's salary has gone up $3.1 million per year in that time. Great time to be a college football head coach!
  23. BullyPulpit
    You nailed it. Until we are guaranteed a seat at the big boy table, we are going to churn through coaches either through successes (CAG?) or failures (CJS, CCS). CAG has no allegiance to USF. As a competitor he is naturally going to want to show that he can coach at the highest levels of college football. Maybe his sense of loyalty gets us an extra year or two, but he will ultimately get an offer that is just too good to refuse.
  24. BullyPulpit
    Given CAG's attitude and what he is trying to build here, I am glad to jettison any recruit that isn't willing to keep their word. One high 3 star or even a 4 star is not going to be such a difference maker for this team. We just need to continue to build and trust the process.
  25. BullyPulpit
    UCONN's QB, Roberson, a Penn State Transfer, has started to show signs of developing into a solid player. They gave Utah State all they could handle last week. We need to play well to beat them but if we can't handle the UCONN's of the world, we are definitely not ready for a bowl game.
