  1. Not having a running game hurts. Not having a reliable kicker hurts. CJL threw the "coaches under the bus" because he did not want to tell the truth. He did not want everyone to know that his crappy kicker cannot kick a 20 yard field goal. So yes the kicker cost us in the Kansas game. The kicking game in general cost us this passed week. We NEED a running game next to GROTHE and a kicking game to help out the "BEND but don't BREAK" defense. These two things and we would be 5-0 and ranked. Simple as that. Now we will struggle just to be bowl eligible.
  2. That is excellent. All the fans saw it on Saturday! About time Jim came around.
  3. Unfortunately, from what I have read and what CJL has said, it seems as if he is healthy Pat Julmiste will start. From this fans stand point there is no question who the better QB is, but I don't make those decisions?
  4. They have not gone on sale yet  :-/! Incorrect!  They went on sale a few weeks ago (1 800-GoBulls)....$30.00 ea. they will be mailed out as soon as USF receives them from UCF. I know message boarders think they know everythig, but they don't. I just bought my season tickets July 28th and inquired about the UCF game. I was told it will not go on sale until mid to late August. Just want to put you on.
  5. If Julmiste is the worst QB in division I college FB as all the prognosticators say what does that say about the rest that they cannot beat him out?
  6. Correct me if I am wrong, but a college graduate usually needs to get a JOB and establish themselves before they can consider buying season tickets. This is my first year as a season ticket holder. I am a graduate of the Class of '03, but I went on to law school and now I am FINALLY in a position where I could buy season tickets. I think that this is the case for many recent graduates; need to start a family/career/finish schooling before buying those tix. Season tickets start at just $119. If what you say is on the mark...then the classes of 01, '02 and '03 aren't exactly knocking the doors down either. Remember  to buy season tickets you also must give a donation.  Also, let's presume that those people might want a companion ticket.  SO, double that cost, add a $100 donation, and then you're getting the effect.  Now, tell someone that's making say $40k, with a car payment, insurance, apartment, utilities, and entertainment and misc. living expenses to insure they carve out roughly $350 plus service charges, and tax.  Bring your total to over $375 minimum for what's undoubtly the worst seats in the house.  That's a car payment, a rent payment, etc.  That's a person that's roughly making $1,200 every two weeks and the expenses I mentioned above, presuming they try to live comfortably, will be minimally $1,800, before weekly entertainment, groceries, gas, clothes, etc. It isn't that easy.  Oh, and don't forget your alumni association dues, and....it all adds up. The 119 tickets are in the endzone and do not require a donation. 2 cost me 244 out the door and that is a much better situation than paying for 2 tickets every week. Season tickets will always be a better seat that walk up tickets. They want season ticket holders and therefore they will make it more appealing. Have your facts right before you start spewing nonsense.
  7. It is shameful that potentially the second best team in the Big East could end up in the Bowl formerly known as Houston. I do not believe that was the vision Mr. Tranghese had.
  8. If we played anything other than man I must have missed it (I don't miss many things when it comes to basketball). I went to that game not as a homer or a hater, but an alumni concerned for the future of my basketball team. I know a thing or two about basketball and I saw none of that. If Capko was under the hoop that is because Wallace #2 (the man he was guarding) was there also. Believe me it was not by design. Anyway, do you really think having the shortest guy on your team that actually plays underneath the hoop is a sound defensive strategy? McCullum is a good man. He gets his players to play hard. He is a mediocre basketball coach. If not mediocre, at least inconsistent. Do not forget that this very team lost to the likes of Florida International, Bethune Cookman, Rutgers, Providence, and Texas A&M Corpus Christi. Just because they beat GU does not override that they lost to Bethune Cookman. Please take note that before Saturday the biggest victory was against Stetson.
  9. It is not about the talent it is about the coaching. I went to the Georgetown game and saw 7 guys beat that team in spite of their coach. Our offense was stagnant to say the least. Not once did I see great ball or player movement within that offense. On defense they played man-to-man for 40 minutes. That is why our opponentt found it so easy to score on out of bounds plays. Also, that victory is tainted by the fact Georgetown played their worst game of the season. They missed at least 6 layups from their backdoor cuts. Yes, coach has the young men playing hard on defense, but there was no discipline from what I saw. Also, offensive sets did not exist.
  10. With that said I think this thread should be shut down.
  11. 79 is about right. The participant school gets a bigger chunk, but for the most part it is split evenly. That is why Notre Dame has the most sweetheart of all deals. They do not have to split with anyone.
  12. UCF will not get any more than the 22,000 fans they get right now by having an OCS. Money from football comes from bowl games. Bowl game money comes from the BCS. We, unlike those crap programs you are fawning over have the opportunity to bring that money into our program now and in the future. With that added revenue USF will do the right thing as they always have. USF is doing it the right way, FAU and UCF are doing it the poor man's way.
  13. You're right it is about the coaches. Yet, you do not object to USF not fighting the good fight to keep Leavitt? :-[
  14. Are you crazy??? You do not find a coach like Leavitt every day. You never let a great coach go. Ask Florida if they could do it all over again if Spurrier would still be their coach. Now, if you do not mind your school's football program being crap for the next ten years Leavitt is not important. If you want to continue on the road to greatness you have to keep him.
  15. I hate to say this, but you are wrong. Since we would be in a tie (even though we beat them head to head), the bowl selection committee would most likely take the team that "travels best." That as we all know would be the ranked Loservillers. That is why this bowl system blows. Give me a playoff anyday. Keep in mind USF is setting itself up to be done in by the "elitist cocktail party" called the bowl system if it does not win out.
  16. For the Bulls game against Cincinnati Saturday, November 19, please select the following: 1) The winner 2) The final score 3) Bulls total offensive yards 4) Bulls leading receiver 1. USF 2. 27-16 3. 367 4. Jackson
  17. How can the score against your "biggest rival" go: L 7-27 L 3-20 L 21-26 Last time I checked you had to win some to be considered someone's rival.
  18. Maybe LAST year with Louisville and Cincinnati CUSA was as good as the BIG EAST without Miami ans VA Tech, but this year the BIG EAST has CUSA's best football program in Louisville and its best up and comer in USF.
  19. When did UCF suddenly learn how to win. They might as well be like a Div. I-AA school. FAMU would give them a run for their money in most seasons.
