Was trying to remember the last time I walked out of Raymond James Stadium with a smile on my face and my head held high. It was September 24th, 2011--that's the last time our beloved Bulls have won at home. It was a 54-24 waxing of UTEP (yes, I had to look it up--it's been so long). When was the last time we beat a conference foe at home, you ask? For that, you'd have to go back to the Wednesday night Rutgers game on November 3rd, 2010. Yes, 2010. Wow. That's pretty bad.
I don't know about you guys, and of course I want a Big East championship, but if I can't have that--I just hope we can will all of our home games. I hate walking out of the stadium a loser. Last year was so heartbreaking and we should have won every one of those games. Cincinnatti, Louisville, Miami, WVU--we were in every one of those games until the 4th quarter where we found a way to lose.
The best part about college football to me is the home game experience. The anticipation, the tailgate, the home crowd and the victory celebration.
There is no reason any of those teams on our home schedule should beat us at home if we bring our A game and a home crowd.
Let's get back to winning our home games like we used to back in the day!
GO BULLS!
