He doesn't... and lack of tradition is no excuse for lack of focus, pride and just doing it the right way. All of these kids have been in marching band before... most of them in good HS programs or they wouldn't have been able to get into the USF school of music... They know what's required. You dont have to be in the SoM to be in the marching band. Hell, you dont have to be a student at USF. You can enroll as a "Non-Degree Seeking Student" at USF and take the class. You don't even have to enroll, you just don't get paid. Do they still offer a stipend? Heck, there wasn't even an audition. Yes... they get a stipend. $200 first year member $500 returning member $600 leadership member The money really isnt worth the time they put in....Two-Three 3 hour practices during the week, plus giving up a half-dozen Saturdays during the semester. Nobody is doing it for the money.

HOT, just like the rest of the athletic program, lacks in tradition. 3 (or 4) directors in 16 years....Kinda makes it hard to establish much of anything. The first director, Sid Haton came from Oregon and recognized what a college marching band should be. The 2nd director, Michael Robinson and his #1 guy Steve Visnage came with more of a drum corps/competitive marching mentality. Hopefully, Dr. McCutcheon has a little better of an idea of what a college marching band should be...

Yep. South Freaking Florida. The school that has never done anything other than get ranked #2 and promptly fall flat on their faces. No national titles. No conference titles. A couple of wins in mediocre bowl games. Some of you need should learn to recognize the difference between what we think the program/want the program to be and what it is. Reality is that USF did something no other program has ever done - been successful within 10 years. It might take another 10, or 20 years to get to the level where we all want and think they should be at. The national powerhouses in the country - Florida, Florida State, Michigan, Ohio State, USC, Miami, Texas - took time to devolop as programs. Right now USF is not a major national powerhouse. Time to be realistic and appreciate USF for what it is, not what we want it to be. That might just be the most asinine post I've ever read on this forum and I've read/wrote some doozies. If you want to appreciate home losses, losing to FCS schools, constantly being at the bottom of the conference.......have at it. That's a $hit sandwich I won't bite into but you obviously think is tasty enough to continue to consume. You want to appreciate less than mediocrity, good on you, but don't ask me to join your "I'm happy to be a loser" club. Reality is what you make of it not what people like you say that it is and our Bulls football team does not have to be this friggin poor on the field. That's JMHO but hey I'm glad theres someone out there who can appreciate where we currently are at. I definately dont like it. But, ******** and moaning like a bunch of spoiled little girls about everyfuckingthing that happens gets you what? Hurt feelings? A stiff **** cause you cried the loudest on a message board? Reality is a mother ******, and it sucks a lot of the time and reality is USF has been fortunate to be so successfull in the "early years" of the program and there will be bad times, just like now. I would be the guy beating his chest scraming USF WILL EAT YOUR CHILDREN is USF has done a **** thing, but they haven't. Until then, we, as a fanbase need to drop the enitilement issues that we, as a fanbase have suffered from for far too long. And................followed up by an equally asinine post. Dude, you should have stopped at the first one. Now I just envision you in your boxers, with bed head, punching your keyboard like its your little brother after he got into your private drawer. How often do you envision dudes in their underwear?

Oh yeah, your a donkey Aww....You call people names. How cute! It was in reply to your asinine (apparently the word of the week) comment about "South freaking Florida." Just trying to shed some realism on what South Florida is, not what you want it to be.

USF has traditions.....Everyone is just too drunk to remember them. Well, except for this -

Hahahahahahahahaha....Bringing back the old school

@fauxtoddfitch is pretty funny too.... Faux Todd Fitchâ€@FauxToddFitch Great progress out of Daniels this week in practice, he did hit the broad side of a barn, a big step forward #USF #onestepatatime Faux Todd Fitchâ€@FauxToddFitch We are going full green uniforms this Saturday so no one sees us sneaking out at half time #USF #camo Faux Todd Fitchâ€@FauxToddFitch Coach Cosh locked himself in his office again, took 3 bottles of rum, a curling iron, and a light bright, must be game planning #USF Faux Todd Fitchâ€@FauxToddFitch I should probably sell my tickets to this #USF game, make a quick buck...oh wait, gotta coach....crap Faux Todd Fitchâ€@FauxToddFitch Cosh is working on defensive schemes using finger paints he stole from Pizzo Elementary School #USF Faux Todd Fitchâ€@FauxToddFitch Just think, we are now less successful than ECU, have a great day Faux Todd Fitchâ€@FauxToddFitch You all complain about my screen and bubble calls, so we did 12 straight runs, what more do you guys want? #USF Faux Todd Fitchâ€@FauxToddFitch I'm really pleased with the effort from our guys, takes talent to lay an egg like that #USF

It's a shame that someone write a nice piece about their feelings about the game and the same trolls nitpick and **** all over it.

Quit being a debbie downer.

Half a handle of Soco and a 6-pack of woodchuck did the trick at the UTC game.

I'm a few sections over, and I think 125 is a myth. I just see people sitting on their asses, just like every other section in the stadium.

The only problem with that, is that we'd be relying on BJ Daniels. Oof.

Of course we don't, now, but if we end up with one soon, he may actually be a possibility. And if somehow Skip coaches his heinie off and they sniff a BE title?

Hopefully not all white....the blood stains will be way too obvious.

One can only hope USF wins just to watch the boards melt down Chernobyl style.

Did you feel the same way going into Notre Dame last year? Against a coach that beat the piss out of USF in the Big East?

1) FSU 2) 23-20 3) BJ Daniels 4) Hopkins 5) 399

Instead of the No-Name Defense, USF has the "No-Game Defense"

Dude, we are not looking down the barrel, we have the pin pulled and is resting firmly against our ballzack I hope we win on Saturday just for the mindfuck that will ensue on the boards here. I wouldn't even know how to react :roflmao: May be worse than a lose..... At least we saw that coming..... Lose to Ball State and beat FSU.... this place will melt the server down.... :roflmao: That is USF Football. Win when you should'nt. Lose when you should win.

It will probably be the Bucs outlined logo in white and the USF logo/Bulls painted inside of the white. That's what they've done in the past.

He's on the Board of Trustees at Florida State. Ain't gonna happen. And yeah, they tear thru the Big East (the games that count) and make a bowl with a winning record....I'd call that salvaged.
