Unintelligibull

Most of the kids grew up with parents such as myself who graduated UF or FSU. They grew up with them as Gator or Noles fans. Now that our kids are Bulls I'd like to think we parents converted to Bulls fans like me, and "we" will soon be the word. We've made incredible strides with few steps back. I expect this to continue and soon we'll be one of the "Big Four".

Too bad we can't trade like the pros. We're loaded at QB! If Leavitt can figure a way to stagger his corp of QBs the way UM did during its heyday we could be another QB university. All UM's great QBs started for no more than two years. They either red shirted or sat a year or both. I suspect he may have told that to Hill and Grothe. We're looking to at least five years of great QBs right now.

This is great news! Read all about it. http://bulls.tbo.com/bulls/MGB2ZF07LAE.html

USFbull83 stole my idea. That's gotta be there. The crowd will go wild every time! This is tradition!!!

I haven't written him off yet. A chance to be a real star in the Big East with max minutes on an up and coming team will keep us in strong contention.

This is great news and might even get Brumbaugh more serious about us!

That was a fair assessment. Can't really argue with their points. I think regardless of who are QB will be, our offense will improve as we're stronger in every position.

Any ink is good ink.

Has all the tools and the heart and confidence. A little more consistency and he'll make the big time. Looking forward to seeing USF under his name when they give his stats on an NBA telecast.

Competition for talent in our state is very keen. It is tough to compete with the "Big 3" but I feel if we keep taking the positive steps we've been taking, we will be one of the "Big 4". This years class looks extremely promising after a good year last year. Remember, at least seven Bulls have played in the NFL. I don't know if any of the "Big Guys" could have said that after their program was just eight years old.

What did he say? If he didn't get picked by the 5th he become a Bull? Nothing personal but I hope his stock drops just enough.

Not sure what the criteria is. We beat #1 Tulane once and lost to them twice in extra innings. We sweep #7 seed UF at home. One team in the bracket has a losing record. I don't get it. We are better than at least half the teams in the tourny. I guess a few more wins next year and we're in.

Being competitive with a couple of upsets. A trip to the post season tourny would be a great first BE season. I think we recruited some good talent that will fit Mac's style.

Sure a winning season and a bowl bid would be great and is realistic but more than anything, I'd love to see us give UM a run for their money and maybe even sneak out with a victory. They are not what they used to be. How good can Kyle Wright be if he couldn't beat out the very overrated Brock Berlin? A solid performance by us and catching UM off a little and this will be better than beating Pitt at Pitt.

I don't think so. Last year we recruited fairly well (Andre Hall and some very good freshman like Payton, Verpael, etc.). This year's class was one of the best we've had in a while. If there is any real problem it will be what to do with a wealth of talented QB prospects. It may not be reflected in our first years record in the Big East but we have a legit shot at going over .500 and an invitation to a bowl. That's not regression.

Like I posted before, it's tough to draw in a big city. Particularly if you compete with the NFL. Few big cities have well attended college football programs. I believe there is a strong fan base. Unfortunately not enough show up on Saturdays. It took UM many years of winning before they started to get good attendance. They still only sell out a few games a year. Jim is on the right track. We will be one of the 20 most dangerous teams sooner than later. Win at the top level and they will come! We'll win at least six games next season, probably seven or more. Good start in the BCS race.

Check out his won-loss record while at LMC. THIS GUY IS A WINNER! We'll be happy to use JUCO players that will bring us above .500 and beyond. Top talent rarely lasts longer than two years at the college level. Good pick!!

Are the USF section tix on sale yet? If so, how can I buy some?

8-7; 11-5!! This sweep coupled with the great series vs #1 Tulane gives us great momemtum toward the CWS! All we need to do is maintain this great play and were in!

Coach signed a couple of academic challenges but it seems he has a way with the kids. He dealt beautifully with Leather when his frustration got the better of him. I think he has the respect of his players and recruits.

Coach Leavitt, Doug Woolard and company are doing it the right way. Taking the right steps at the right time. The new fitness facility is a great addition. Tradition takes time. Improvement in all sports programs helps speed up the process. This is clearly happening. The one issue that all big city college football teams face is establishing a large local fan base. With the exception of UCLA and USC, most other big cities (including Miami) have a tough time filling the stands for college football. UF and FSU can fill it because they're the only game in town and there isn't much else to do in those small cities. Heck, the Dolphins can't sell out. We have to accept the fact (as does UM) that the stands won't always be packed. That doesn't mean we won't gain national attention and have a top rated team. Leavitt has laid the foundation for that and it will be sooner than later.

Like USFMikeB, I follow them all but pay most attention to football, mens and woman's BB, baseball, softball, and tennis the most. All seem to be moving forward.

Just read this on the GoBulls sight. Mc may be putting together a pretty competitive team at just the right time. USF Basketball Signs 6-9 Power Forward (April 28, 2005) Tampa, Fla. -- Brandon Stores, a 6-9, 220-pound power forward at Cincinnati Christian Center Academy, has signed a national letter of intent to play for the University of South Florida, USF head coach Robert McCullum announced today. Stores averaged 19.5 points, 12.7 rebounds and 5.2 blocks in his 2004-05 season, helping Christian Center Academy to a 30-4 record and a second place finish in the National Prep School Tournament. In addition to playing for the Pittsburgh Jots AAU Team, Stores was the MVP for the Western Pennsylvania All-Stars in a game with the Eastern USA All-Stars. Prior to playing for Christian Center Academy, Stores attended Warren G. Harding High School in Warren, Ohio. Georgia, New Mexico State, Providence and Temple had also recruited Stores. He joins Davis Sills, a 6-1 guard, Chris Howard, a 6-2 guard, Zaronn Cann, a 6-6 forward and McHugh Mattis, a 6-6 guard/forward in USF’s 2005 Recruiting Class.

Andre could possibly have 500 yards heading into Miami. He'll be on everyone's watch list. We also could possibly be at least 3-1 by that time and be in some polls. Both sides of the ball will be better than last year which could very easilty have been 7-4 except for a few melt downs.

I'm a UF alum but my son is a freshman at USF. It was easy for me to change allegiance. USF is a great school and getting greater in all ways. USF reminds me a lot of UF when I attended. It had good sports programs that were improving. USF is ahead of where UF was in my day. UF made it to the top but needs to get rid of that 1996 National Champ license plate. They're living in the past. Simply put, I'm a Gator alum but a Bulls fan.
