Stever Dummy barely graduated from high school so take whatever he says with a grain of salt. Dummy is famous for not doing his homework and relying on secondhand information as his "well-placed sources". Dummy is just not very smart.

Looks like Hitt and O'Liar hired themselves a "yes" man...as their Athletic director.

see ya in the Plains of Alabama.... I heard Auburn is a good trip and experience...from a couple of my ucf buddie who went up a few years ago.

Hanging out with these guys is never a good thing.... Those dudes look like the redneck militia at the Renaissance fair... Actually they look more like a bigger version of The Village People, not that there is anything wrong with that....

Ahh, ok, I did indeed miss your point.  My apologies. Who wants to start photoshopping bottles of Jack Daniels into Smith's hands?  ;D I don't even know how to make fun of Kansas....so I might have to do some post game photoshop on Keith Smith, or whatever his name is to bide the time ;^)

Hanging out with these guys is never a good thing....

We know the answers to these questions: Got BCS? Got Scoreboard? Got a winning record?

Yes, but when you apply that rule only to UCF players and leave the other rumors and innuendo about other schools, players, and coaches... well, they can just kiss my big Bull ass. Screw them.  They get whatever comes to them. Missed my point: we should adopt this rule for only USF players. Anything that we can dig on UCF, UL etc...is fair game in my opinion. Hypocrtical....**** straight....but I only care about our Bulls.

they have a good rule on the ucf site: "Do not post unsubstantiated rumors about players, coaches, etc. If you have a link to a news story, that is one thing. But if you have heard something 'from a friend of a friend,' this is not the website to post innuendo and rumor. Those posts will be removed." Couldn't agree with it more....and hopefully all the usf boards on the 'net adopt a similar policy. Some of our 'fans' are not making our coaches job any easier.

What the heck are you talking about? They gave up one play. Walker was a tough assignment. Big kid, with good wheels and a senior. This kid had offers to play at Miami back when they were good, but wanted to stay close to home in Orlando. Jenkins and Williams had a heck of game. The safeties were caught out of position in the first half b/c UCF had their running game going and had our safeties biting on the play action. After halftime, USF made the right adjustments and things got better. I would be more concerned about our beat up DL, if you want to b!tch about something.

You know O'Liar is beggining to feel the pressure when he starts knocking his players in public. See bold print below. Notice how he refuses to give any credit....which means he knows that he got out coached and out talented. Link: South Florida sacks UCF BY JOHN DENTON FLORIDA TODAY First, Mike Walker's right hand went into the air, signifying he was behind the defense and open in the end zone for the potential game-tying touchdown. Soon a second hand followed, only this time it was palms up and tinged with disgust. When University of Central Florida quarterback Steven Moffett was hit from behind with 22 seconds remaining Saturday, the University of Central Florida missed out on a golden opportunity to tie the game and instead had to settle for a dispiriting 24-17 loss to rival South Florida. A Citrus Bowl crowd of 46,708 -- third-largest in UCF history -- saw the Golden Knights methodically drive the length of the field in the final two minutes only to be stopped on fourth-and-five from the 9. Walker, who had 12 catches for 133 yards in the game, got behind USF cornerback Mike Jenkins, but the ball never came after Moffett was plowed under by the Bulls' Chris Robinson. UCF coach George O'Leary was more disappointed that the ball wasn't delivered on time than the protection breaking down. "It's wide-open and (Moffett) is sitting there pumping the ball," O'Leary said. "The tight end lost his protection. (Walker) was wide open . . . one more second and if that ball's gone . . . this is a great game to coach." UCF (1-2) was forced to scramble in the final minutes after Bulls quarterback Matt Grothe threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to Ean Randolph with 3:20 remaining. Making matters worse for UCF was the fact that USF pulled off the winning score on a third-and-14 situation. "This is the best feeling in the world," said Grothe, who passed for 302 yards, ran for 73 more yards and accounted for three scores. "Maybe this will finally shut some of these fans up." The two schools met Saturday for just the second time, and already the series is filled with acrimony. They will play again in 2007 and '08, but only because Conference USA forced the Bulls (3-0) to continue the series as part of their exit agreement. USF has made no secret it has little desire to continue playing UCF in the future. Coach Jim Leavitt, architect of USF's swift rise to prominence, said his team took offense to being labeled "renegades" in the days leading up to the game. USF suspended three players before the season because of drug problems and also had nine recruits who were academic nonqualifiers. "Sometimes they take a lot of hits, which is unfair," Leavitt said of his players. "I wish the truth would always be told about our players. I'm tired of people attacking our guys. . . . They're not a bunch of renegades." O'Leary's frustration stemmed from a UCF defense that continues to be a sore spot that undermines an efficient offense. UCF's secondary was tricked on a 31-yard reverse pass early in the fourth quarter that put USF up 17-10. UCF tied the game at 17-all when Blake Carter returned a blocked punt 31 yards for a touchdown. It was redemption for Carter, who roughed the punter in the first half and cost UCF some valuable field position. USF won the game in the fourth quarter by driving 90 yards in nine plays. Grothe, who led USF to a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter last week against Florida International, set up the game-winning pass beautifully by holding UCF safety Sha' Reff Rashad in the middle of the field. The Lakeland native then hit a streaking Randolph on the backside for the game-winning points with 3:20 to play. "We had some situations where kids have to make plays. Safeties have to play with their eyes," O'Leary said. "A couple of those balls looked like they were punted. The safety has to be a factor on those plays." UCF was without standout tailback Kevin Smith, suspended for one game for what O'Leary termed "a violation of team rules." His backup, Jason Peters, ran for 98 yards. Moffett struggled with his accuracy most of the day, completing just 19 of 44. He was intercepted twice, UCF's first turnovers of the season, and he was sacked three times. The one that will stay with him for the next 10 days -- UCF next hosts Southern Miss on Sept. 26 -- will be the final play when he had Walker open. "It looked like Mike got behind them, but when I got ready to throw the ball I got hit," said Moffett, who fumbled on the play. "I didn't see the guy coming from behind, and he stripped the ball from me. It was there, and if I would have had one more second, I might have been able to get the ball out there to Mike."

There could have been another 4 or 5K fans at the game with a 6 or 7PM kickoff. I know many folks....myself included....who would have gone with a later kickoff. Heat issues aside, both fanbases are young and have Saturday morning family activities that take priority. That is why it's puzzling when GOL said that "fans will get used to it, they need to make it a priority to come out for noontime games". Say what? BTW....you guys should have sold your naming right to Hawaiian Tropics b/c your new stadium has no cover.... OUCH!!!

Even over the past week, "names" being thrown out by the Tampa Media on Leavitt include: "King James" Killjoy "Head Grinch" Somethings in the water (remember Leavitt's 27 sec press conference 2 weeks ago?). Considering all of USF's off-the-field problems over the past 2-3 years, multiple-multiple player arrests, having NINE Football recruits not even qualify, etc...if one runs a program like that (especially in FLA), what else would you expect from the media? Someone at USF needs to read a "self-help" book. KL Go phuck yourself....

I've been slowly converting my tapes into DVD... I'll let you know when I have the game on DVD after the game... Cb

Using your logic the only stories you'd ever read about USF Football would involve puppies and kittens. Just because he isnt smiling doesnt mean it shouldnt be reported. I am not talking about a story.....but unflattering images. What other point is there to publishing such an image other to make derisive comments?

good point steve... perhaps an even better question: why would a site that supports USF publish such an image? Especially now when CJL is under such scrutiny?

I get CSTV through Direct TV....maybe we can work a DVD exchange.... I have last year's game if your interested in high comedy....

GREAT story....and not one gratuitous mention of three players being suspended ;^)

josh smiley turned some heads early in Fall camp but got hurt which will likely force him to redshirt. Nothing serious but all the coaches love his motor. LaBrandon Glover is taking a redshirt, although there was talk early in camp that he was lining up with the second team. Andrew Ketchel was billed as one of the best TE in Florida last year and is taking a redshirt as well. How is Devon doing for Coach Strock? Is he redshirting as well?

15,000?  ;D Some USF fans didn't think your crowd last week was even close to 15,000 at home! 15,000? To a road game for USF? Ok. Time to take your pills. KL I think it's time KL was sent to the sandbox...

when did cfn.com switch over to Scout? I hate the new layout....

Among the notables who made the team was offensive lineman Frank Davis. If and when he takes the field, many will consider him the first pure Panamanian to play in the NFL. Davis grew up in Panama City, played a little club football and went to the University of South Florida. But his strength and hunger were enough for him to beat out Fred Matua, who blocked for three Heisman Trophy winners at Southern Cal. Marinelli said Davis caught the coaches off-guard with how quickly he picked up the offense. "All he's done is work and improve and knock people down," Marinelli said. "The best way to say it is that he's knocked people on their back." http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060903/SPORTS01/609030586/-1/BUSINESS07

Despite sad ending, Reed's comeback was inspirational Monday, September 04, 2006 Maybe it was a tear, maybe a bead of sweat. Whatever it was that rolled down J.R. Reed's face in the moments following the Eagles' 20-17 loss to the New York Jets Friday night, it was apropos. For more than a month, Reed played his heart out in his comeback attempt from a career-threatening peroneal nerve injury, trying to win back his spot as a backup safety and kickoff return specialist. Now, with the preseason over, the decision was completely out of his hands. Final cuts were coming in around 18 hours. He had done all he could do. "It was a challenge," the proud player said. "They told me I couldn't do it. I did what I did. ... I just thank God I had the opportunity to get back, because I wasn't given a chance. But I'm back, as far as I know. "If I get cut tomorrow, I get cut tomorrow. But I did what I could." He did a whole lot more than that. Reed inspired a team, inspired a city. He had everyone on his side almost from the moment he impaled his left leg on a fence he was trying to hurdle near his home in Tampa, Fla., less than a month after Super Bowl XXXIX. Doctors told him to forget playing again. Reed never took their advice, although he did wisely complete work on his college degree last season, which was spent entirely on the non-football injured reserve list. His spirited and often effective play with the help of a special brace that's been tweaked tens of dozens of times had been the most uplifting story of training camp. Until the call came on a rainy and miserable Saturday afternoon. Reed was out of work. The Eagles did not keep five safeties, as most people expected, choosing to load up instead on both lines. "We're not down on J.R. at all," general manager Tom Heckert explained. "It was just a matter of, do we keep five safeties? It was going to be tough for us to do that. Even if you kept five, how do you keep all five of those active if J.R. was going to be the guy that's going to be the kick returner? "So now, in the situation where we've only kept four, we think it opens up another spot for somebody else. We'll see what happens down the road, but we still think J.R. can play for us." Reed on Friday night had that gallows look about him, and for good reason. He did not have a particularly good game, failing to get cleanly through a huge hole created by a textbook wedge on a third-quarter kickoff return and dropping an interception in the end zone that would have prevented three points in the fourth quarter. Had he been a fraction of a second quicker, he might still be running. Heck, maybe there's still room for him with the Eagles or some other team in the near future, as Heckert clearly implied on Saturday. But for now, Reed is unemployed. For a young player who once showed so much promise as a rookie, it is a genuine tragedy. Yet it would have been a whole lot worse had Reed limped away without trying. Whether he makes it back or not, he brought to his teammates and to the city a message of indomitable human spirit, something that can never be broken by any NFL roster rules. The feeling here is that we haven't seen or heard the last of J.R. Reed.
