We struggled to beat a **** Will Muschamp South Carolina team.

I'm fine with winning the AAC and the peach bowl

I see we brought the burial ground from the SunDome to the Ice Palace for one night

He's got a depleted roster and is in his second year. He's not going anywhere.

Even if they can do him, a NC State or other p5 program would jump all over him

Oh Snap! We just got Stuben'd!

Do you know how many posts there on this site mentioning how UF was dodging us and it turns out we did the delaying?

I come from a family of Gata's so I usually mention that we were the ones that actually delayed the game, but the idea of the Gata's being evil usually wins out and the false narrative carries.

He was fired at USF because of someone's self inflated opinion of USF basketball ...

That's your opinion. He sucked after 7 years. I wasn't calling for his head at the time, but just looking back his last two seasons were insanely bad. 

COA was clearly a poor choice after the Massiello debacle, and I certainly appreciate his runs, but he had plenty of time to build, and it wasn't anywhere near being a good program.

no one is asking for great. We're just asking for better than 6-26 in conference during years 6 and 7.

I know this is just a jounalist's point of view (which I agree with actually), but the funny thing is we had a relatively (by our standards) coach that had a young nucleus of pretty good talent in place with Heath. Then Judy got impatient. We wasted at least 3 seasons with Antigua. More than likely it will take another 3 to 4 with the new hire for this team to even become respectable. So, we lose at least 7 years to get back to where we were. 

Firing Heath was the dumbest move ever. Let's just hope we find  a solid BB coach that can get us moving forward. 

As bad as the program was, and as great as the NCAA wins were, Heath won 6 conference games his last two years here and had 2 winning seasons out of 7.

He was the solution, but neither was COA. Hopefully all the NCAA stuff doesn't scare good candidates away, but I'd give Murray a shot.

I say screw basketball, we'all never be consistently good and we'll never make money off of it. Go bare bones (ala TCU) and throw money at football

Ticket prices are $175 and 250.  I'd be shocked if we sold 2000 through the school. We'd get a bunch there on secondhand markets.

I was at the Outback bowl with my dad (he's a Gator) yesterday. Face on an upper bowl was $80 plus fees. Bowl prices have gotten insane. (We paid $125 a piece on the street for club level)

Not to be that guy, but they're going to sell more TB hosting the Nat'l Championship papers than Bulls beat muschamp papers.

He's gone. 

Just throw the money into the football program. Why sipher away from something our fanbase cares about?

Do you have links to these attendance figures?  I was at Notre Dame and it was not 10k.  I think it might have been a very respectable 2k.  I'm doubtful about FSU and Auburn numbers as well.

People have been complaining about attendance forever and I find it interesting that it Big East numbers keep inflating.

We will have about 2K at the game which was probably what we brought last time.

FSU was around 10k but yeah, no shot at those numbers at Auburn and Notre Dame

We'all be lucky to have 3,000 there which might be more than South Carolina 

It's a trend around college football (and sports as a whole) that has hurt the smaller programs more. People can watch Every sporting event they want on TV, and it hurts attendance.

Not sure we'll ever be where we were 8 years ago consistently.

UCF smack side. FSU fans helped, important to keep it up without them on the schedule.

Was told by someone that the number was around 1500 sold. Has anyone heard otherwise?

Bull94 wants everyone to ignore the facts surrounding the shake-up and makeup of his team/program at Texas and look and see that they were 7-2 in conference before he got there.

Great guy. Great coach. Hopefully he can keep the train rolling.

I was told Bowl ticket sales are extremely slow. These usually are big ways to boost that.

Best hire in program history. Mark my words.

Texas had #2 class and then 2 top 25 classes before he got there. no way should he lose to kansas in his 3rd year

Go back and look at how many of those kids are still on campus before posting ing ignorant things like this.

So we can go 8-5 every year?

Im not saying Strong couldnt be good but I would be careful touting his credentials on paper as a reason why.  Hurtt brought most of that talent to Louisville including Teddy.  Hurtt was a shady recruiter who had the S Florida ties not Strong.  And you and i could recruit players to an Urban Meyer coached team.

Texas has a lot of talent that he recruited they'll be very good next year.

Bridgewater decommitted from Miami when Shannon was fired.  Not because Strong has some magical recruiting ability.

So Strong was average before bridgewater at Louisville and left when Bridgewater left.  Terrible without Bridgewater at Texas.

Not that glowing imo.

Geez. He took over a really bad Louisville team and went to a BCS bowl with them. Bridgewater wasn't the only player on those teams.

Texas was in bad shape when he got there. No one wanted that  Job because the shape it was in. The majority of this years starters were freshmen and sophomores. Herman got some great young talent, and had Herman not been out there I'd bet he would have got another year at Texas.

He'd thrive here.
