i was listening to him on sirius radio after the win in morgantown and he was talking us up for a long time. he was talking about how young and talented we are and with Grothe for 3 more years we have a very bright future. i happened to agree with most of his statements  

Wow a lot of you have an interesting take on the national exposure. It seems to me it tells everyone around the nation that we have top notch coaching so if we get to the top 25 next year the nation will have more respect for us. USF fans know he’s not leaving and I’m sure our coaches that talk to the recruits every week say the same thing. I believe those jobs (Bama and UM) aren’t that attractive for the reasons ESPN states.

As for USF coverage, JimUSFSIG is perfect in his assessment.

To notch coaching. Top notch facilities. One of the best young QBs in the nation. National exposure in the New Big East. A realistic opportunity to break out any given year as the program is on the rise. Looks like a very attractive place for a recruit to go.

Maybe I need to take off my green and gold shades but it’s hard because the future is so bright! ;D (Corny joke… I know)

also when rutgers gets in the top 10 it will knock wv out

it is too hard really know what is going to happen far down the road but next year i think we will have a really good team. the offense will continue to come together especially the oline and running game. our defense will be better than this year as long as some of these young guys can step in and play well at linbacker.

i dont care what he looks llke, im really ****** pissed

well, i guess we aren't going to "take a step to the next level" since C420 loves the reefer

i was so mad over the carlton hill news (and my bio and physics test next week) but watching that highlight just made my day. btw i would def buy a copy too.

well just south of those fields is going to be a pond. why don't we hold off on building it and put the stadium there. to me it just seems there are a lot of things that could be moved in order to put the stadium on campus.

I don’t understand why we just don’t stick it at the corner of East Holly and Maple. It is right next to the athletic district and is literally across the street from both greek village and the dorms. That would definitely get the students to the games. On the master plan i believe there is supposed to be four fields put there (no demolition = easier construction). Now i have never heard anybody suggest it so there must be some reason it wouldn’t work but i don’t know why. Also what do most of you want the stadium (if we ever get one) to look like?

Here is why we should continue the UCF – USF series. It is a rivalry. I don’t care if we are better. Most USF students have a lot of UCF friends and vice versa. They will gladly make the trip and we will too. Plus if it is a fairly entertaining game then what does that mean, say it with me, higher attendance. Isn’t that what we all want?

“he is not in class of wv and louisville coachesâ€Â

I thought Alabama, Michigan State, and Kstate all wanted him. He has stated he wants to stay here (and took less money to do so) and has done a wonderful job with the team so I don’t see him getting the boot at any point.

I agree with most of you about us getting better and hopefully win the BE championship a few times as we continue to improve and become part of the “big 4â€Â.  We’ll stay in the Big East as the conference is going to get a lot better in the next few years. The one thing I don’t think will happen is the on campus stadium. Yes it would be great to have one and I used to be all for it but after working out the numbers it straight up doesn’t make sense for the near future. USF is going to continue to build their graduate programs, research park, and pump as much money as they can into undergrad needs. Check out

to see how we are spending out next $1.5 billion. It would cost between 50 and 70 million for a descent stadium like UCF and UL have. That is with capacity well under 50,000 and it not being that great of a stadium. If you want something like Ray Jay… keep dreaming because that cost about 170 million for construction. Now we could raise money through donations, corporate sponsors, charge the students like they are doing for the new Marshall center, ticket and merchandise sales but that is a lot of money to raise. Plus ray jay is a big attraction to a lot of recruits that see how much nicer a stadium we play in than other schools play in. Add on the fact that the Sun Dome needs huge upgrades!!! I say use some of the school’s money to completely redo the dome. Sell the naming rights to a local company and put 10 to 15 million to replace all the seats and make in the interior nicer, and please completely redo the outside. Just cover the whole thing so I don’t have to look at that hideous thing when I walk to class. Basically do a better version of what U of L did in 1984 for Freedom Hall.
