  1. I thought the same thing. I expected a sweep or reverse with him but the edges must not have been available.
  2. I would have these guys running until they puke. Maybe the penalties would decrease
  3. I think we need the drama. Can't just win outright - need to comeback. Not good on old hearts!
  4. I remember the kicking game before Bonani. This is starting to look like those years.
  5. It promotes accountability. Taking money earmarked for students and building with it is to violate the funding priorities in the budget. I worked in government and always hated how we needed to line item even the smallest things in the budget (since I figured it was just one pot of money anyway) but came to realize that it was about accountability to the taxpayers and using the money only for which it was approved.
  6. Duh...must be the medicine! Thanks for the catch and please use the second one.
  7. Nice game. And, oh, I just pulled a wedgie out with that hand...
  8. Every game should matter to every player. But that is not what we are talking about. Fans and sports writers. That is what we are talking about.
  9. 0-12, 0-17 64-12 Yes, gag material from then to now.
  10. Sure wish we played UF and FSU this year. That would have certainly helped as we would spank both of them. At this point, we have to start with a UCiF game victory and work up from there.
  11. It's not the students. You could have a wall to wall student section and that would only be ~15k, IIRC. The rest of the stadium would look very red. The culture is changing. Older people? Mostly Yankees who eschew any college sports and will not sit in 100 degrees for anything. Younger people? Even at the game (outside of the student section) head down, texting, Facebooking, selfies, etc. Attention span is shot. We need to consistently offer big name wins. Older fans (and sports writers) might remember declaring USF the new Cinderella, only to have USF lose to a lesser opponent and making them look like fools. Some are gunshy to climb on the wagon at this point. We have to prove ourselves all over again. And, dare I say - a lot of fans don't even know what conference we are in, so a conference championship will not draw them in. A win that has the sportsworld buzzing will get their attention. But this is a tough market. Just ask the Rays.
  12. 1) USF2) 45 - 173) BB4) Salomon5) 540 I'm not always right, but I've never been wrong
  13. Yes, I forgot about that. Well, I'm not resistant to change, as I really embraced the new U logos when they came out. But we settled on a winner on the academic side and I see no reason to cartoon it up. You are right but I still hate it (stomps foot).
  14. I was really hoping this was a joke when I opened the thread. I'm with MikeG. We were always the Brahman type bulls until we weren't. We were always green and gold until we now aren't. I actually hate this change and see no reason for it. Opposite of standardization. The non-Merrill Lynch logos generated in this thread are much better. Don't fix what ain't broke.
