A conference is only as good as the teams in the conference. So without a marquee team that travels in droves in non-P5 conference do you really think we are going to beat out P5 schools for bowl games? Hopefully next time we are fortunate enough to have a bowl game against a P5 schools are fans can be motivated to actually get excited about the game. These things matter if we are going to build a bigtime program some folks believe we are entitled to have just b/c we play in Florida and can roll a few footballs on to the field.

love this band. good call bw...

Not worth it Greg.... BW lives in his own reality that's separate from the logical world. So did he leave? Kind of seems like my reality is actually....you know.... REAL!!!!! Not saying anyone was really wrong to report what they did, but they definitely missed the story. It's kind of the problem inherent in the 24/7 news cycle. Half the the stuff isn't true because no one has time to verify stories any more. Nature of the beast. Greg is usually better than most but the pay sites are rife with scuttlebutt and inaccurate info. It was one of the pay sites that broke the story and the same site that reported that he was staying. This was ultimately confirmed by USF. Things changed b/c that same site reported that they were hearing rumors that this wasn't done and UM was still trying to hire him. 24 hours later Scott was a Cane. Seems to me that the pay site got it right.

you do realize it's a completely different coaching staff and they're bringing in a pretty good class, right? There's nothing wrong with being excited. He said they "have to work" to complete in the SEC. Is he supposed to say "I know we're gonna suck and we'll never compete in the SEC but I came here anyway." ? UK has a new coach? And Staff? That's news to me./sarc/ I'm good with him being excited, but not thrilled about him calling out USF as being upset, and giggling about it. But, there were a few idiot USF fans on his Twitter, and he's enjoying what could be his moment in the sun. Read Kemp's interview. Much more mature. Badet acts like the world wanted him, and says he runs a sub 4.4. We'll see. Again, he's a high school kid, so I don't care about the double negatives or the over boasting. Guess the tone just annoyed me...but I'm over it. I laughed at the comment that he ran a 4.37... There are only a handful of NFL players that can go sub 4.4 nevermind 4.37. I would be embarrassed if I was that UK reporter to actually report unchallenged that unreal 40 time.

Wow! USFFreak lives! Greta to hear from you! Bringing Leavitt back is an interesting idea....but it will never happen. Nor is it the only way to cleanup this mess. I just remember folks wanting to run him out of town before Paul Miller's lying a$$ ever stepped on campus....so I am not sure how or why things would change. Unless of course we think that USF will suddenly learn not to take their program for granted or realize that we are not entitled to anything.....especially as a program less than 20 years old.

Mitchell is a TERRIBLE punt returner.

That should have been a penalty on Miami and clearly caused the interception. Bullsh1t call that UM got away with.

A dedicated beat writer would help...

+100 **** recruiting guys. Of course...if it was sped up it would all be relative...right? Unless they specifically only sped up Stevens play.... LOL

Some of you guys need to remember how recruiting works. We have had kids who turned out to be GREAT BULLS who initially talked down the university and program. We have kids who turned out to be GREAT BULLS despite being committed to other higher prestige programs just hours before National Signing Day. We have also had kids that said all the right things through the recruiting process and screwed us at the last minute. If you keep in mind that these players are typically 17 years old and not used to having a microphone being stuck in their face...AND...most importantly don't view it as their responsibility to lift this program to the next level......only then will you truly understand what the recruiting process is all about. I hope Fraser sticks but not going to bash him for looking at all his options. I just laugh b/c some of you guys bellyache about the "no-names" we are recruiting yet go ballistic when those "no names" our coaching staff discovered start getting other offers. If anything else that means our staff knows what they are doing in evaluating talent. Grow up....

Sending the healing vibes your way ET. Get well soon....we have a heck of a football season coming up!

How about the BE commish? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpAZYWEbgxM John Boy looks like he has lost some weight....

So in other words, they don't have enough fans...something that most UCiF fans seem to forget. What I find interesting is that they only have 15K season tickets. Throw in on average 10K students and their they are theoretically at 25K fans per game, of which only 15K are ticket paying customers. They claim to have an average attendance of nearly 40K fans/game. This would mean that they would have a "walk up" crowd of 15K per game. Really? Don't think so, and all the pictures the Orlando Sentinel showing large sections at BHNS with empty seats confirms this. BTW, O'Leary has an incentive in his contract based on avg attendance and season tix. That is why they changed frrom reporting actual butts in the seats to tickets distributed. I laugh b/c they used to bust on USF and other schools for doing the same things.

...not only do they lose to a bad ECU team but they watch USF dismantle FSU on national TV. The same FSU program they once modeled themselves after...well that was before they became the halfway house for slow, poorly coached tweeners. The funny thing is that they cannot afford to buy out O'Liar. They better be careful or the bank may foreclose on the TinCan if they don't figure out how to get paying customers to fill rthe seats to watch Division I-AA football. Couldn't happen to a better fanbase....we may never see Knightlife and company again. LOL Everything is coming to fruition just like USF fans predicted 10 years ago...

No real description for this one, other than it's not surprising...

Did you know that O'Liar coached at Notre Dame?

O'Liar was also a Knight of the Round Table, before his lance went limp....

Let's not forget that he was an original cast member on Lost......

O'Liar begging USF for one more game

an advanced google search shows that O'Liar is being really modest about his accomplishments: He was an original member of the Jackson 5 until a resume gaffe got him kicked out of the family: Famous NASA Astronaut before he was kicked out for lying on his employment form: Al Gore stole his Noble Peace Prize George W, wasn't the first Bush to steal an election as this picture shows that he was Ronald Reagan's real Vice President selection Just as talented on the screen as he is in concert, Georgie had a very successful acting career until he took his method acting too far in True Lies Not that there is "anything wrong with that", but did you know that O'Liar was the original member of the Village People? Before the Jackson 5 & The Village People, George honed his skills with a 4 man quartet from Liverpool, England. **** that Yoko! As we all heard today, "they just don't get it", O'Liar has a long tradition as a tactful peacemaker and relentless negotiator as shown in the picture of the Yalta Conference Just because....
