  1. To my knowledge, the Rays are the only pro team that actually does an official thing with USF. That game in August where you get those USF themed TB rays caps (very cool by the way). I don't know what the logistics of it are. It may just be an alumni group thing, but it is something. Maybe that can grow into something more.
  2. In recent past years, these 3 ingredients would be a guarantee for us to come out and lay a very ugly egg. But I feel much better about this team and this coaching staff.
  3. I want to believe that. Probably no such thing as a guarantee. My guess is the big 12 cited that as a reason for not calling us up last time. Still a gamble, but it worked for the city of st. Pete way back when they built a baseball stadium without a team. USF is too great of a university to not have an on campus stadium, though. The stadium + AAU is huge game changer for our university.
  4. yes. I guess they were really 4 year "promises."
  5. I'm so old, I can remember when multi-year contracts meant that you put in the work 4 years in exchange for tuition, books, room and board, meals, nutrition specialist, training program, personal trainer, occasional per diem money, pride in your chosen school, and eventually a degree. Not intended to place blame on anyone for what college sports has turned into...its all about the $$$. Just doesn't seem the same now when players chase the money like pros (and coaches do, too). I root for the name on the front of the jersey. Sad to hear CY doesn't want to play for USF anymore.
  6. Yeah, this is a big deal for tailgating, and I hope its not overlooked. People are gonna have to pee. I've been at other campuses where some of the buildings are left open for restroom use, but the restrooms were completely abused and trashed. We don't want that. But having ample porta pottys available is probably the best thing about tailgating at ray jay.
  7. Thanks. Nice stuff they have out there. Lots of Tampa Bay stuff. Also noted that sales of this hat (and all the other USF themed stuff) have a portion of the $ going to the Fowler Avenue Collective. I may pick one of these up.
  8. Cool hat. EDGE with SOUTH FLORIDA . What's the story behind that? Is that this year's FB "slogan?" I haven't seen that one yet.
  9. What a joke. Call their bluff and let the sec and big 10 break away to their own league. In 2 years, we can ask “ how’s that workin out for ya?”
  10. Yes. We really needed the professional looking "office memo" with AAC letterhead to provide just a date with no other details. Classy.
  11. This NET system sucks. As far as I can tell, its just a bunch of circular references. Just like the football rankings, it all depends on where you are (and your opponents are) rated before the season even begins.
  12. Good thing we got out of there with a win. A loss there would’ve tanked us in these net ratings. Close one.
  13. A whopping 2 teams from the AAC in the bracket prediction.
  14. It's turning into a pro league, but it's more like major league baseball than the NFL. At least the NFL has things in place like salary caps to keep parity in the league. College football is turning more into the major league baseball model where the more money you have, the better team you can buy...and any new player that has great success at a lower level team is sure to be gone (off to one of the rich teams) the following year.
  15. Just win the conference. Everything will fall into place. Preseason polls are dogshit.
  16. Hmmmmm. Maybe it was NOT having an "on campus stadium" that caused the night life to move so far off campus.
  17. This was all back in my day, too. I think the rising popularity of Ybor city at the time ruined it. We used to hang out at these places around campus, and then everybody started going to ybor.
  18. Ranking teams before the season begins is a big part of the college football problem. Basketball, too.
  19. If this P2 breakaway thing happens and they "professionalize," then it won't be the end of college football, it will be the beginning of a junior pro league, and the only resemblance of college football that remains will be the teams who are left out. If this happens, the players on these p2 teams will have as much connection with the universities they represent as a pro-sports player has connections with the city he plays in. Just another pro league. Probably just the thing needed to cause the whole thing to implode and we can get back to the good old-fashioned regional conferences and fun rivalries.
  20. Nice mugshot. I think that should be the pic they use in the dictionary for "Philly Fan". But seriously, I clicked it and listened to the entire story. Sounds to me like this was at a Phillies game, and the family he puked on was also Phillies fans. ??? Also, at the end when the on-location reporter suggests that the Phillies provide complimentary tickets to the victims and a limo ride?? That's a really nice idea, but your job as a reporter is to report the news, all the news, and nothing but the news--not to inject your opinion about how this should be handled. And based on my experience, Philly fans are the worst by far.
  21. A home and home GT series would be great...but a home and home with any ACC team would be fun. I would love to have ND here. Purdue (my dad went there). Mich St. or Michigan would be fun, too.
