    I stand corrected. Didn't know that and forgot Temple affiliated with the MAC for football.

    Nah, ND, Navy and Temple--Army's CUSA.

    Not sure... I remember there being buzzing about it when I was there, but I think they will be doing most stuff with the start of the 2006-2007 school year, since I believe the University began with the school year in the fall of '56. In other anniversary news, this coming year will also be SuperBull X, the tenth football homecoming and football season. (and of course, 40 years of the great University of Maryland, Baltimore County!)

    And USF playing in Detroit would be optimistic--Motor City had no obligation to pick up a Big East team with fewer than 7 wins. They could have still taken Memphis and left us sitting home.

    Regionally, no. Charlotte is in the South. the mid-Atlantic region is roughly Northern VA (DC Suburbs and such) through about mid-Jersey, encompassing parts of VA, DC, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.

    If so, those same folks should e-mail back and say thanks. Why only e-mail when you have something to complain about?

    I was surprised at the Buckhead in that they played Bulls on Parade at one point during the night and there were very few of us going crazy over it... we as a whole should have some love for that song!

    Thanks for the heads up... I was watching ATH and PTI on ESPNews anyway... for some reason I thought there was a chance they might say a word about us.

    Yeah, but consider the alternative. :-) It interests me in that bowl games make for strange bedfellows... I was cheering like hell for the same Mountaineers I was trashing a month ago.

    I'm well aware TBDBITL is The Ohio State. Texas' walking--er--marching band doesn't impress me much. I was giving different examples, but kept Tennessee as the constant because of the poster to whom I was making the point. And as was said above, to RockyTop--Yup! Band geek (I prefer band dork, but I won't split hairs) and proud of it!

    I'd like to see a bowl come into being somewhere in the mid-Atlantic... M&T Bank Stadium or Lincoln Financial, for instance. It would be ideal for an ACC/Big East matchup and still very doable for the Big Ten, MAC, or even SEC. As it stands, the bowl we just came from is the farthest north of any on the Eastern Seaboard.
  12. 80mins
    Yes, RockyTop, we know. They're not the Pride of the Southland. And they're not TBDBITL. And you know what else? our football team's not Tennessee (this past year not withstanding). And we're not Texas. But the HOT did pretty **** good, certainly won halftime and the whole daggone game this past weekend, and as one of their biggest "constructive criticizers", I'm proud to say that MY band (in the "my team" sense) is coming into its own as a college marching band in its 6th year of existence.

    1. I'd go back for USF, and if USF were to not go anywhere, I may go anyway if it's a matchup worth saying 2. I think it depends. Outside of the BCS, we've really only got two other concrete bowl game options: Insight and Gator. So if we have a decidedly better season (let's say, 9-3) and Gator Bowl gives us the shaft (and honestly, Insight would be foolish to invite us at this juncture, I don't think we're ready to travel in huge numbers cross country) and MCC gives us the bid, I think we'd be glad to show up. But if it were another situation like this year, I'm not sure as many of us would "settle" for this bowl; it would show no progress whatsoever.

    Rooting for West Virginia. Doesn't save the fact that the BE is the worst BCS conference, but at least saves a little face. That being said, T-Man, you acted like it was an unreasonable question... being a fan of a Big East team doesn't make one a fan of the Big East. Especially considering it's also a "given" that one should hate Florida... why not root for an enemy of an enemy?

    Shoop--someone neds to give you a job! :-)

    I think the main reason it's a point of pride is because it's got the "#1" attached to it. we can be in the top 5, top 10, top 20, top 50 of other things, but number one is number one. And as I started above, transferring is not necessarily a bad thing.
  17. 80mins
    being #1 transfer is certainly a positive--it means that when people choose to switch universities, it's to USF they choose to come. This means either that they screwed up or didn't fit elsewhere, but just as likely it means that our standards are high enough that people start elsewhere to get credits and GPA up and transfer in. It runs in direct opposition to the thought that we're a second choice university--on the contrary, it's more of a "final answer".

    Maybe that's his mommy? ???
  19. 80mins
    Not only should we have gone for it REGARDLESS, but lest we forget we missed our last FG attempt. We'd've looked like twice the fool had we given up and still remained scoreless.
  20. 80mins
    Was that intended as a Salute Your Shorts reference?
  21. 80mins
    Someone in my section quipped afater that line, "That's why I go to NC State"
  22. 80mins
    Nice Shoop. NICE. I was saying to a friend of mine that those panthers were hott looking... woulda looked even better as Eagles, but hey, they'll do.
  23. 80mins
    SC, I may just see you there. I'm over in Greensboro and definitely intend to hit the Chapel Hill game next year.
  24. 80mins
    Yeah, those panthers were awesome.
  25. 80mins
    Yeah, the first down annoyed me as wel. I did hear the announcer attempt it once, he left a space and then said "first down" later when he didn't get the response he was looking for. Clearly, though, he was leaning red, given the fact that he still stated it in their format, stating another "Wolfpack/Bulls _______" for a first down response, vs. a "First Down, _______" for a BULLS! response.
