  1. If Da Prato is the reason we return kicks from 3 yards deep in the end zone, then I like him as a special teams coach. Otherwise...
  2. Yeah, that. I don't like 3 runs there, especially the last one must have been 3rd and 8 or longer? You are surrendering the outcome to your sieve defense. I'd like to see the offense attempt to convert, but not by way of freshman qb improvisation if the call was rpo. Let's dial up a pass.
  3. I fully expected to compete despite this horrible season, yes. I think the game was winnable with the ball and the lead in the last 3 minutes. The situation was mishandled. Others may be pissed, I am not.
  4. You are conceding ground there a bit, i want to meet you in the middle. but i don't think as a coach you put that burden on your freshman qb. I am not going to criticise coaching throughout, but that moment with the game condensed is crucial. I don't know who called the plays on the last possession, but that was uninspiring. S/T looked good for whatever that's worth.
  5. i mean play to win, not not to lose, you know what i mean. don't be coy
  6. Fear. A culture of fear and inadequacy cost us the UF game. Can't blame the bad snap and the botched hold in the UF game on the coaching. That was just inherent fear of success. Someone used the word turtle tonight in another thread, It's that 100%. we are turtles.
  7. give your players a chance on the last possession. he gone
  8. Whatever took place prior to that point in time is irrelevant. The most likely outcome after running Battie 3 times there is to bleed the clock down to 3 minutes with a 1 point lead. Do we like our chances in that scenario? No. We do not. Playing scared is bad business.
  9. whomever made the decision to run Battie 3 times after the last turnover is a loser. get him out of here with an express ticket. do not pass go
  10. The win-loss record is not a factor at all, for me. When I donate my time, money, and energy, I need to see/feel some sort of reciprocation from this program in the form of passion for my alma mater. Don't see it, the trade-off is broken.
  11. Last time I jumped, i had no lapse in my season tickets because leadership stepped up and made a coaching change at the end of that season. I was back in the stands patiently supporting a 2-10 team the following season. Here again, I will respond the same way.... if leadership is shown, I will come back. Until then, I will sit out; its the only card I can play. Last night, Strong showed me he is not a Bull (anymore, if ever).
  12. ..two scores. punt resulted in a touchback, no less.
  13. Tonight brought me right back here to the last time I jumped ship. Holtz was gone 2 weeks later. For Strong, it was the punt on 4th and 1 at mid-field down 2 scores in the 4th quarter. As was the case with Holtz, whether its incompetence, self-doubt, or apathy, or all of the above, I can't support a program that doesn't make an attempt to compete.
  14. 1) WR 2) Accuracy in the pocket. 3) Telegraphs passes. 4) Beer 5) 63
  15. GT will beat Clemson, 30-28, on their way to 3-1 and propel undefeated USF into AP Top 25.
  16. Yeah, he certainly did, but at some point, when you see that we are still scoring just as many(more) points as last year, don't you have to make a correction to your voting? Realize that the loss of Q has been mitigated, admit your oversight, and restore our ranking? If we put another 40 point W up, on B1G, no less, I would think a conscientious voter in tune with actual events would have to do that.
  17. Final rankings for 2017: USF 21 Boise St 22 Preseason rankings for 2018: USF NR Boise St 22 We finished 2017 strong, reloaded all skill positions on offense. Is it the loss of Hector/Senat?
  18. The CFP chairman was not the AD at South Carolina; I doubt anyone on that committee even watched our bowl last year. Really though, Mama, I don't expect this game to change the committee's perception of USF much. The main point of my post was to inform Bulls fans that the pot is sweetened just a little bit with this bowl. We have an opportunity to bruise the pride of another high and mighty P5 and the CFPC chairman with a win. We can't make them respect us, but we can make them lose to us. That is satisfying.
  19. I realize this year's rankings are done, but the committee is not going away. He chaired last year, he could chair next year as well. Regardless, a win against an opponent aligned with the committee that snubbed us is gravy.
  20. ... is Kirby Hocutt, the CFP Committee Chairman. Will make a bowl victory even sweeter considering the disinterest shown toward USF by that bunch. This match up should allow him to gain some familiarity with our program to share with the rest of the CFPC, which they undoubtedly lack up to this point.
  21. We arrived late for the St. Petersburg Bowl. Spent about 15 minutes in the seats sold to us by the University and then watched the remainder of the game from the Everglades Brewhouse. Definitely not the bowl experience we've grown to love and expect, but at least our streak is still intact.
  22. That link was posted in the "Bowl Game - Military" thread yesterday. Here is another article that counters Beck's statement: https://www.thedailystampede.com/2017/11/29/16717748/bowlgazing-where-the-bulls-might-play
