Thats a good point. The 2 big teams louisville and ucf eill take huge steps backwars with both qbs going first round and charlie strong leaving. Who are the favorites for next year? Louisville got called up to the majors.

Judy is a phenomenal university president. The reality is that she has bigger things to worry about than athletics. The major boosters and donors will select the next AD.

Thanks for the clarification. Definitely appreciated.

If the article is accurate about what? There is not one specific piece of info in that article, other than USF supposedly receiving a letter of inquiry "soon." Nothing at all to suggest what, if anything, is alleged, or how valid it is. Nothing at all. A Google search for "NCAA letter of inquiry" turns up lots and lots of results from recent years - some wound up being major stuff, but most were pretty minor, nothing worth freaking out about. And several amounted to basically nothing. There is still no reason to freak out at all, more info is needed to make a judgment. I'll be more specific, replace, "If the VD5 article is accurate" with "if USF gets a letter of inquiry from the NCAA as mentioned in the VD5 article." I don't care about the kids dad, what he said or did based on how little I know now. I do care that if USF get the letter from the NCAA, then they have already done some investigation and feels there is something wrong. Can further investigation clear USF from wrongdoing, yes. Could a potential violation be minor, yes. Too soon to tell. But don't think that the letter is the start of the process, if we get a letter, the process started a while back. If we are to believe USF's rebuttal, then no letter is expected.

So now the story is LITERALLY just "bitter dad says unspecified, supposedly bad things about university that rejected his son." Someone let me know when there's some real info out there. The whole thing is ridiculous. The "article" has a damning title, but absolutely no substance. Why was it posted it in the first place?

The article was just updated with the following: Note: USF Athletics responded to a previous version of this story with "We have no expectation of a Letter of Inquiry." That sentence of the story has been removed.

Paul Wulff? Todd Sturdy?

To be competitive it must.

One would hope that his budget increased for both positions so he can hire upgrades...

Nice.

It's every man for himself in this new AAC conference. The worst our conference mates look, the better for us!

100% agree. There's no harm in announcing it. So what if it takes 10 years to raise the funds? At least get the ball rolling and give the fan base something to work towards and look forward to. I would donate money (albeit a small amount) the day they start fundraising.

Is ESPN3 unwatchable for you guys? I have FiOS in Tampa and it is freezing every minute or so. Quality is terrible. This happened for the first couple of games too. Internet speeds are fast as usual, so that's not the issue.

La Flama Blanca. /end of nickname discussion

Let me get this straight: I live in Tampa and have Verizon Fios, so does that mean ESPN3 will be blacked out for me because it's being aired on BHSN? Can anyone confirm that this is accurate?

When does this match up end? Seems like the longest "week" ever...

1st and second string qb cant play if you bring in the emergency QB they may be referring to using this for backup kicking specialists-- not sure either way, I don't see BJ needing to worry about how much playing time he gets in the first year They can be holders. That's why the special teams. Not sure if that would apply if they wanted to stick him in as a returner. Probably hasn't come up since they changed that rule. The Third Quarterback can only play kicker, punter or holder, along with qb, after playing his first play as a qb only ... If the Third Quarterback comes in during the first three periods, the other two are ineligible for the rest of the game. If he enters in th fourth period or later, the other two could come back in. What BJ's flexibility may allow the 49ers to do is not have a Third Quarterback. They could have him on the 45 man game day roster as an emergency rb, wr, or qb. This rule changed a couple of years ago. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/07/22/nfl-drops-third-quarterback-rule-46-active-players-on-game-day/

STAMPEDE! We're getting our butts kicked now! http://capitalonebowl.com/#/standings/rocky-the-bull

As stated on http://www.usf.edu/about-usf/index.aspx

Hopefully we're still practicing at that point.

Who did I miss? Last I checked we were at 13. We're at 13 ... maybe there's a double secret commitment that only he knows about. He may be taking into account Bench.

Looks good.

Because Maryland, Rutgers, Pitt, and Syracuse football have been so good.

The best games on our schedule may never be played again: Miami, Louisville, Rutgers, and Cinci and UConn most likely. We have Tulane and ECU to look forward to.
