And remember, "priority" means who's giving the most that day. Has nothing to do with how much you've given for the last 25+ years.

All of these acc teams thinking they are better than the other acc teams should join the pac2 and find out their true value.

Why does that scenario sound so familiar?

If we have sold out in 2027 with 10K on a waiting list ... I don't see why we would wait.

I can remember when the Bucs had a 10 year waiting list. This year I could buy tickets on Groupon.

Why would expansion be a waste?

Expansion, in time, would not. Needing to in one year would.

I keep wondering if we are lucky enough to get an invite to a new conference before the groundbreaking if they don't bump up capacity before it is too late. Nothing dramatic, maybe just get it into the low 40s. (I agree, building then adding on right away seems like a bad plan)

Yea, I can't imagine not planning the infrastructure to at least go from 35k to 45k+.

maybe they can begin expanding in 2028.

Just my 2¢, but that would be an incredible waste of money.

Thanks for this take. I take some of these losses too hard sometimes particularly when I see the talent the team has but still manages to surprise. Last years team while their 3 pt shooting was held more at bay was really offensively hard to watch in general. So fair point.

Losing because of missed free throws is my only complaint. I don't care how bad the officiating was, or one sided the calls were. Our inability to be even close to average lost the game. 9 of 19 = 47.4%

i think it was that many safeties if my memory serves me correctly.I think some of the older guys are going to transfer out after spring game and game.

I knew it had something to do with db’s. But with 5 of them in the game I thought the comment was odd.

IIRC Golesh came in last year and said something like it was a sin to have that many db’s. I think it was 17? We’re now at 22? Not complaining, just asking.

College Football Playoff Payouts 2023-2024

How much do teams make for the College Football Playoff? We've got the 2023-24 revenue distribution plan plus payouts from past years.

I guess AI thinks SMU is two different schools. One in the SWC and one in the American Conference. BRILLIANT!

That is one unhappy coach. Unhappy with a lot of his team.

One issue I had last night was not taking opportunities to draw fouls on them. I don’t know how many times they had a Charlotte girl in the air and sidestep them. 

NOT the playoffs, but, Michael Penix will be in the MLK Day parade in Dade City on 1/13/24 at 10am.

I feel they need to start over and make these players earn their starting spots.

Every year at every position. Are there guys starting at #1 on the depth chart? Absolutely. But I hope no position is guaranteed based off the prior year, or class. If a freshman is the best, play him. Any decent coach then has at least a year to find or coach up the next guy. 

When was the last time USF MBB was favored over a conference opponent?

Can get legally get offers if he is not in the portal? Isn't that tampering? The whole portal stuff  combined with nil is ruining college football more and more each year. So much shady stuff going on. Coaches recruit use nil money then claim they don't pay players to come there. 

There are no rules against talking to a favorite uncle, cousin, best friend, etc. People at UF knew Etienne was going to Georgia two weeks before he entered the portal.

I'm talking his hypothetical question of Carter or Archie transferring  out if they didn't want to sit behind Brown next year or the future.

Brown If he wanted to would find offers.

I would bet a dollar to a donut that Brown already has other offers.

Depends . Archie hasn't really shown much here at coastal or usf because he has been behind studs and has limited experience. Carter we will have to see . Both have limited playing time and haven't shown a lot to move to a better program. Carter was a high 3 star so he could probably find a spot easier.

Archie had some decent offers out of high school, including Michigan. Can also throw a 93mph fastball. But agree, hasn't shown much.

They should because chances are if Brown has a good year in 24, he will be elsewhere in 25.

Chances and NIL are the portal problem. Now, if the NCAA goes back to the "must sit out a year" format, I think, would solve a lot of these problems. I can only think of one guy that transferred knowing he would have to sit, and IMO that was mostly a daddy spite thing. 

Plug-n-play vs build-n-nurture. The NIL SUCKS! Think about all of the discussions since NIL. If a coach goes out and recruits his ass off, signs "his guys," coaches'em up to be really good players, he has no idea how long they'll play for him.

So why not just live in the portal? Bad attitudes? New systems? Who cares? Just win.

Is Izzy Carter and/or Bryce Archie going continue to sit behind Byrum Brown?

What the heck is going on with all these common sense posts? Don’t y’all know it’s either doom and gloom or peaches and cream? Jeeze!

The more I see and read about all the crap going on in college football the more I like the idea of separating football from all other sports. Portal opens the day after the championship game and closes on Feb. 15th. And again the day of the last spring game for one week. Have two signing days. Maybe Feb. 28th and 2 weeks after the last spring game.

His father doesn't think he's a 2nd stringer.

His father may be right. IMO your backup QB should be able to manage the game and protect the ball. Timmy McCain’t has a hard time with that.
