    Gettings posts pulled will make it take that much longer to hit 500 pages.

    Very disappointed.

     

    We don't just want quantity .... also striving for quality ..... kinda.

     

    link?

     

     

    Here's a demonstration of the quality we're striving for:

     

     

     

     

    As someone who likes to stop and poop in Naples before getting onto Alligator Alley, he's right.

     

    Do you have a particular favorite restroom, or do you stop at random ones along the way.  I find Cracker Barrell restrooms are typically convenient to a highway drive and clean and comfortable.

    Sounds like another solid thread topic for JTrue to sponsor.

     

  2.  

    I hadn't realized that the Orlando market also included Daytona and Melborne.

     

    Tampa-St Pete Makes sense as they are actually close to each other.  We should get Ft. Myers wrapped in with us too, if they get Daytona and Melbourne.  Though, we'd still be 11th even with Ft. Myers/Naples

  3.  

    Commuter school definitely has a negative connotation to many.  

     

     

    Whether or not people use it indenting to be negative does not change the fact that it's negative.  Given USF's policy that all (almost all, I know there are loop holes) incoming freshman have to live on campus eliminates the tag altogether.  The campus atmosphere and students coming to class from on campus or apartments adjoining campus has increased exponentially from even 10-15 years ago.

     

    USF used to be a commuter school.  It's just not anymore.

     

    What are the graduation rates? Compared to non-'commuter' schools?

     

     

    I do not know and I don't think it matters.

     

    It's a perception of negativity.  Reality doesn't matter.

  5. Here is how the divisions stack up based on two year average of the Sagarin Poll

    On average over the last two years the east division has been about 10 ranking spots better than the west division, which is actually pretty even in my book.

     

    Note: Sagarin includes FCS teams in his rankings, hence they go above 128.

     

    Edit to add: this conference is terrible...  USF isn't making it better...

  6. Woulard getting his waiver would be best case scenario.  It would give him three years to play 3 seasons.  If he doesn't get the waiver he sits out and only has 2 years to play.

     

    If he gets it, I don't think he should necessarily be the starter because he hasn't been here very long, but we'd be able to work him into some game action to get him ready for next year.

     

    That said, no waiver and he will be leading the scout team.  It could only help the defense.

  7. But Kinnan isn't coaching; he's a consultant. The combo of Hope/Reeves will be the third offensive coordinator we've had in Taggart's tenure at USF. I'm just not convinced that Consultant Kinnan can have as much impact. With Taggart retaining the play-calling, I'm just sure how different things will be this upcoming season. I sure hope I'm proved wrong.

     

    I think Kinnan would carry more weight than a typical consultant.  Taggart trusts Kinnan 100 percent and will allow him to make changes where necessary.  Where as a guy like Hope may want to change something and Taggart will need to be sold on it.
