  1. Gregory just needs more practice time and games to figure out how these pieces fit together. Having Covid put a pause to the season really hurt. There were some very winnable games that got cancelled.
  2. Hope the players can use the rest of this season as a development year, and use it as a spring board for next season.
  3. He has done a fantastic job with scheduling! Over the next 7 years we have home games against Florida, Alabama, Notre Dame, Miami, Louisville, BYU, North Carolina State and Boise State. Nobody in the G5 can match that home schedule.
  4. He's hired a coordinator from one of the premier football programs in the country, has an elite women's basketball program, has the best non-conference home schedule of any G5 school, and APR scores at an all-time high. Men's basketball is turning a corner and we just need to give Scott time to recruit and get in his guys. If we can live through Holtz and Antigua then we can live through this.
  5. No because sports is different than the rest of life.
  6. I'm just trying to be positive. I understand the frustration - losing is never fun. But if our leaders fail I want to know we at least gave them our full support.
  7. Why would you expect Tchewa to hand the ball well? He's a 7 footer who plays down low and thought he played pretty good yesterday. And go easy on Yetna - he is 15 months removed from major knee surgery. We knew it would be a longer road to recovery from him to get back to 100%. You guys have unrealistic expectations. Finishing at 10-10 would be a good year from what this team has had to go through, and the limited time Gregory has had to get the team to gel.
  8. The Tampa Bay area has 3.1M people. With everything USF has provided the community, Hillsborough County should add to the sales tax, or tax the rich, to help fund budget shortfalls for USF - like the College of Education and have a carve out for an IPF.
  9. I think people are just tired of all the bashing of the athletic department and the people pouring their professional lives into it. We are just fans but this is their career. Why go to a message board and listen to people complain and bash people - if you are a true fan then you should support your school and teams in good times and bad. I'd rather have a message board with only a few people that all agree in supporting our student-athletes and those who have chosen to call USF their professional homes.
  10. MK was given a mess to deal with and with a limited budget. He has done an awesome job with scheduling for the football program, the women's basketball program is as strong as ever, he hired a coordinator from one of the best football programs in the country and APR's are at all-time high. People bought in too hard to the Big 4 concept back in 2007 and its left alot of the flaky fanbase disillusioned and when it couldn't be sustained people jumped on some other bandwagon. USF can get to that level again but need the fans to show their support even in down times. MK will get us there, we just need to give him time - 3 years is nothing in the grand scheme of things and what he has done under the current set of circumstances is nothing short of amazing!
  11. I think we should all be happy that we are having a soccer season. Cincinnati dropped their program.
  12. The pandemic creates a throwaway year. This year doesn't count for any of our coaches.
  13. Unless you are promoting someone who has been on the staff, you have to let the new coach an opportunity to install his system with his players. Seeing a team take a step back or two isn't unusual. We really need everyone to manage their expectations better.
  14. It goes beyond just how many wins, but the context behind those wins and those losses. Having seen the mess that the basketball program has been I think that MK gives him alot of rope. Gregory has changed the culture of the program and the eventually Gregory will get us into the NCAAT. IMO MK should extend him.
  15. Why does that matter? I am not arguing with you, just not sure why it would matter then. In his second season after taking over for Antigua he got players to come here and he led them to a post-season championship. Last season he was just unlucky with the Yetna injury, and everyone should get a free pass this season due to the pandemic.
  16. The CBI championship should be proof that he can win here. 24 wins is not a fluke.
  17. He has just been unlucky that's all. The offense wasn't good the last two games because we have faced two tough defenses after being off for a month. We do have a really good offense but there hasn't been time to get all the new pieces to gel with the pandemic.
  18. I know most of our major sports (football, men's basketball, baseball, men's soccer) are in a down cycle but believe that Kelly has hired and retained the right people for those programs to be successful. We just need to be patient and continue to support them.
