I can concur with all of this.  I had a great time, but the fan experience points @79 Bull stated about the band location (should have had the bands in the endzones), the cell signal, the parking operations/logistics. Stadium audio was awful too, being limited to just some speakers around the tiny video board.

One note that I ran into that maybe some of you also did, but I had my tickets in my Apple wallet and upon arrival to the gate the attendant was very confused and looked for the barcode.  Apple wallet tickets usually dont have barcodes.  It took a good couple minutes until a supervisor with another scanning device figured it out and we were let in.

All in all, the game was great but the fan experience could have been a little better.

A

We had zero problems driving in and parking. Zero problems with tickets. Zero problem getting back out after the game.
Something people need to understand is the bowl is put on by the Orange Bowl Committee, not FAU. I don’t know if the sound problem is normal or not. Concessions sucked.

Who knows. He could also not be able to coach while getting buyout money or he would forfeit it.

Why is he getting buyout money? Fired for sucking maybe? I’ll stay with IF he was a good coach then he would be coaching.

Where did you see 20 million? I'm seeing 3.2. Still insane for a guy who hasn't played a snap yet

Beats me. But, ok. $3.2mil vs $800k?

Well his average recruiting is still better #11 class than Sunbelt Billy's #15 at Florida, got  ny6 win, and  he won a lot more games in his first two years than Napier. They hired a worse  offensive minded version of Dan Mullen when they hired Napier.

Napier

Mullens

 

Doesn’t mean he can coach. If so, he would be.

I think he stays atleast 1 more year. After that, if he has the type of year I suspect he will. He could be offered life changing money. You have to take that, if USF NIL cant come close to his best NIL offer. 

I saw something today that Arch Manning made $20mil as a backup and Broc Purdy made $879,000 as a starting NFL qb.

They did not give the coaches or players the praise they deserved. I bet Mullen is mad he didn't go for the USF job seeing Golesh a first year head coach dominate an ACC team in a bowl game in year one. My friends and family that are gators alumni already want Golesh and Brown to come to Gvegas. I laughed and said JEff Scott and Gerry Bo are available.

Mullen has a job only running his mouth for a reason.

On the outside he probably regrets getting that on video, but on the inside he knows it's going to attract real competitors that love to whoop that ass win!

So far, I don’t think he makes any comments that he regrets. I remember when he said something about “stomping on their throats”

Kinda the “Be who you say you are” mantra.

Stadium was okay, felt close to the field which was cool…but logistically this place sucks. The parking lot across the stadium had non existent tailgating due to the fact that a tent behind your vehicle would stop the flow of traffic. There were literally 3 places to buy beer in the stadium, 2 of which were beer carts that were emptied by the 1st quarter. The Jumbotron looked like a 32” tv. No cup holders. The bleachers/metal stands were actually somewhat of a positive as they became noise makers when stomping. 
 

But good win. Good crowd. Great month for the team.

 

In lot 6 they let everyone set up any way we wanted. @FazaUSF, @___ Eats It, and several others had their tents/tailgate set up with plenty of room. 
I was surprised that the stadium capacity was 30,000. Seemed bigger. Seats were fine. Video and audio were horrible. Running out of concessions is ridiculous. Otherwise it was probably my best experience of all the bowl games to dates.

If you would’ve told me at the start of this season that I’d legit get bored watching USF blow out a bowl-eligible Power 5 team, I’d have asked you to pass me whatever you’re smoking.

 

Great win and great season! Surpassed even the wildest expectations.

I tried to stop yelling in the 4th qtr. It didn’t work. Legit have no voice this morning.

put it in the trophy case

in all fairness they didnt have a qb

Neither did WKU in their game. Syracuse had their freshman qb that threw a couple of good balls, they just didn’t want him injured.

Mine says the video is private. Nothing there.

I’m surprised at Levy’s strength. She moved a couple of girls yesterday with a strong elbow.

What is this GAMEDAY in December all about?

Everything is a matter of perspective, so enjoy the progress.

And miss an opportunity to attempt to crap on USF? Will probably never happen.

Here are the ones I have. If you'd like to pick up a pair respond here and I'll PM you with my address. 

PSA - A little super glue on the seams will help keep them from shredding and around the bottom will keep them from walking up the shaft.

Read somewhere Del Rio is not playing either.

And they will get out of the GoR how?

Useless information question - How is it that Academy players can enter the portal? I thought they were committed to a given time of service.

I would love it if everyone forgot to schedule ND.

I wonder how many sellouts ND creates when they’re on the road.

The Bad - I don't feel we played well this year at all. I feel we have had maybe 1 or 2 complete games. The rest of the games either the offense played well and the defense sucked or vice versa. 

The Good -

1.  #17 in offense

2. Top 10 in TFLs and improved in all defensive statistics

3. We still went 6-6 playing badly. Just imagine when we start playing well?

Top 10 in TFL’s and #128 in total defense. That’s BAD.

Imagine trying to schedule each season with no conference affiliation across each of your sports. 

What he said was to eliminate football conferences. Keep all other sports in their respective conference. Then make football more regional. He’s saying football pays for most of it anyway, so cut down the travel expenses and time away from school.

Probably wouldn't happen because I believe I heard him say something about the P5s sharing revenue and then sharing with the athletes. Some will never share. But I like the concept overall. Unfortunately we'd be in the lower 64.

Agree. I don’t see any scenario where the P2 shares anything with the P3. Although it was interesting that he kept throwing the PAC12 back out there.  Kinda got the feeling he wasn’t crazy about the move.

Don’t remember his name, but the RB for Tech was Jamie Byrd’s cousin.

I try not to listen to Chip Kelly.  Should I make an exception on this one?

I think it’s a bit radical, but it also makes sense.

Del Rio Wilson is out.

 

You're getting our 3rd string QB (Davis).  Our old OC just left the job.

I expect much Wildcat too

WKU did ok yesterday with a 3rd string QB.

Right behind you in G.  Seats 13-14.  I'll be at the WBB game on Wed then driving over to Boca to meet my daughter for the Bowl game.  Staying at the Fairfield Inn on Airport Rd.  Probably gonna find myself in a Hard Rock at some point! 

There are 6 of us. I think we have 13-18. I’ll be the one in green and white pants.

GO BULLS!
