  1. Good for him! Great attitude and this was a great look at the daily struggle an injury can cause. Can't wait until he can return and I can swear at him again from my easy chair!
  2. I have been trying to keep in mind that this is essentially correct. I remember thinking, "I love the guy but he really isn't an X's and O's coach". We had some doozy OC's also. But he was a builder. He built not only the program, but had an uncanny talent for taking low star players and developing them to stars. Your last sentence pretty well summed it up.
  3. It probably should mean more to me, but I'm looking at this conference. Granted, we haven't won the conference. But to me? Big whoop. I'm one of those that won't buy a lotto ticket until it is some ungodly amount. I'm looking to play in the big leagues. I want USF to win every game, but I probably will be more excited to beat Wisconsin and GT than if we win the conference. And, I always get excited to beat UCiF. So, I watch to see my team do well against anyone, but, no. Beating SMU or Tulsa or Gaither high school doesn't do it for me.
  4. We could win the championship of this crappy conference year in and year out and no one would notice. Beat the big boys and you get their attention. Getting stuck in this conference is like we've been told to sit with the others on the couch.
  5. I think you might have hit on something. You are asking for measurable metrics and others seem to be offering context. You reject or devalue the context. I think we are caught in a loop
  6. I realize that the Spring Game's rules precluded a look at our special teams (especially FG kicking, punting). Does anyone have any insight as to how our ST's are looking?
  7. Sure. Give us something that was as meaningful. Whatcha got?
  8. That is a lucid, intelligent, well thought-out objection. Overruled.
  9. 65 donors 163% of 40 Goal. $5,344.00 raised Project ends on April 04, 2019
  10. The IPF benefits all sports: The indoor practice field space will provide each field sport – baseball, softball, soccer and track programs – a safe place to practice in the event of inclement weather. The increase in sports medicine space will allow USF to enhance the care and rehabilitation of all student-athletes and return them to competition faster following injury. That hadn't occurred to me. Even if football isn't your #1 sport, donating will benefit your favorite.
  11. Donated to the IPF. We are currently at 33% of the goal
  12. I think that this keynote address should have taken place. I think that USF was initially right. Just as I would if it were UCF. If there is any environment where censorship should be discouraged, it is the university environment. We are supposed to teach critical thinking. I guess that's an outdated idea when others determines which opinions you need to hear. There seems to be two different camps regarding foreign relations. First, eschew any attempt at public communication (or no communication at all). Meeting in public with an enemy is seen as conferring prestige since we are so superior that even meeting with a US official gives the impression that the enemy is legitimate enough to warrant our attention. It boosts their power and diminishes ours. Second is the attitude that we should maintain communication and even meet with our enemy in public in order to work on solutions. It's the old Vito Genevese principle "Keep your friends close; your enemies closer". The first position, in my opinion, is foolish. It is ego driven; the holder of this opinion is putting him/herself first. It also may reveal the fear that people are too stupid and can't be trusted with the facts when not delivered by American media. The second position puts the pursuit of peace and cooperation ahead of pride.
  13. Indeed. I guess posting your university pictures on a USF fan board and expecting any other reaction is strong. Tell me, if I went over to UCiF's board and posted a collage of our faux "National Championship" - how would that be received? Would you all play along with us (you know, like you do with your 90 year old Grandpa who thinks he is talking to General Sherman)? Because that is what your fanbase expects of the rest of the world. Knights, the football world laughed at the UCF delusion and continue to do so. "We want 'Bama!" ****, don't do that stuff! We never studied mass hysteria in my branch of Psychology, but you guys may be a classic example. With no regard for dignity, UCiF lays an adolescent claim to a National Championship and actually expects the world to believe them. That is an effect of studying in the land of make believe. Oh, wait, I get it. You guys "identify" as a championship team, so all others must accommodate the lie. Snowflake mentality. A champion is a champion and no attempt at justification is warranted. It was proven on the field. Keep the photographic pollution off these boards and we will try very hard to ignore your fans. There are a few Knights that regularly post on these boards and they are cool. Read their posts. Analyze them. Practice acting. Act like you have class, poise, and are not on unfamiliar ground when your team achieves success (I didn't say when YOU achieve success because you are not out of the field, but through referent power, you claim to have the same attributes and own part of the victory).
  14. Structure? Methodology? Chronological sequence? What exactly do you need help with?
  15. Good God, I hope we haven't driven away the new member!
  16. Dave? Dave? ...Dave's not here! No, man. THIS is Dave! Open up, the cops are coming.
  17. Yeah, great news! I hope he comes back better than ever. I love overcomers! And I would like him at the helm when we beat them this year.
  18. OK, so you want to take these one at a time. Let's do fired.
  19. How many people in these pictures were either fired, resigned, sued, arrested, investigated, jailed (coming), or failed to graduate?
  20. Basketball Jones! Basketball Jones! I got a basketball Jones, oh baby, oooh! Cheech and Chong classic. Basketball Jones Welcome to the board
