Bulls On Parade

Snapdragon Stadium last year was $310 million and capacity is 35,000 also.  I think what we are getting is going to be comparable. 

Sounds about right for two 6-6 teams.

I wish somehow we could get the Copper Top back or add a similar college feel sports bar  it near the OCS. We need a good dive bar type sports bar near the stadium with good and afford able food and beverages to pregame or watch the games at if people can't get one of the 35,000 tickets. A little dissapointed in the rendorings, but still excited we are finally get our own stadium.

There is some land at corner Fowler and 50th that looks big enough to develop for that...could then walk to stadium via Sycamore.  

Alot of time till build starts so finished product could be better than what we see now. 

I'd just prefer to see they build a tad bigger so we have room to grow like high 30s or 40k.  Expanding will be costly cheaper to just build extra size now.

If the orientation of stadium is east west seems the south side would have some shade especially upper portion of stadium. 

We have like one 12pm game a year it seems not a huge deal.

Most are 330pm or 7pm games. 

Looks awesome. Only knock is the metal supports....they could later enclose that area like FSU did for Doak. 

Curious what the capacity is, hopefully 35k to 38k...that be perfect size for now.

But not as cruel because you’ll only have to wait until tomorrow for the real deal!

I'll be ready at 7am. 

Goodluck to any in our secondary trying to transfer from the 130th ranked passing defense. 

Hopefully CAG can snag some secondary talent from portal but more importantly HS.

Exactly would shade be great - yes. The number of FL stadiums without shade who still play every week? People need to stop acting like they can’t build it without shade. If it isn’t in the budget it isn’t. 

Especially when you consider that many of the games we play are 3:30pm or later...we have maybe one 12pm home game a year it seems. 

Not sure if Syracuse fans are thrilled but I like it...good bowl game matchup vs a p5 team and Syracuse goes down to South Florida not bad for both sides I think.

 I expect FSU and Clemson to be getting out of the ACC asap.

Yep this definitely bumped up the timetable for leaving the ACC. 

Grier went to Arkansas 

For any normal year here .500 should be the baseline. I'd give it a C...but I graded on a curve given how horrible we have been for 3+ years...this team only knew losing. 

So B for this year from me.

Originally I wanted USF vs UCF in the Gasparilla bowl. The more I think about it, I would rather the team travel and play anyone else.

Yea for me Its not so much playing UCF its I don't want them at Ray Jay I want them to travel.

Given the talent Golesh had and teams we played I think a B+.  Few we really looked bad in...particularly FAU.

It's a good foundation to build upon. 

We always play UCF close even during Scott years and Golesh is light years better than Scott. 

That said I'd prefer an ACC team like BC or Cuse. 

I'd like to see us play an ACC team.

BC or Syracuse...could see either not getting up to play USF in a bowl helping our chances some. 

That was most fun I've had at Ray Jay since the last year with Flowers.

It was nice to see us bring A game all game. 

A glimpse of things to come again.

How’s that second part looking so far?

Per Rivals best G5 class...number 54 that's solid. 

Hopefully we can land a few more good recruits and lock it down. 

Given the defense and talent we had 6 and 6 is a solid first year for Golesh. 

Things still available that can be done.

1. Win a bowl game end year with a winning record. 

2. Secure best G5 recruiting class. 

Future is bright for the Bulls.

By far our most complete game to date. 

Pretty solid game by both sides of the ball. Keep it up and bury them.

Please lets close out the regular season well tonight. A win would take alot of good momentum into off season.  

Offense can't have another 3 quarters of silence type game.

 Imagine if we had a defense.

We would have won vs UAB and WKU and Memphis most likely. 

Defense has to be Priority one this off-season with Golesh. 

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my fellow USF fans. 

Hope you get chance to spend time with your

I agree that a major issue on offense is the run offense design. We are just running straight into the line and getting into 3rd downs over and over.

 

Agree...we gotta be more creative with the run plays.
