Not sure why I got the downvote @DC Last week I brought it up and only posted a couple pics to see if the board wanted this to continue, those that took the time to read and respond had no issue with it. So going off the feedback from last week, I went ahead and made one for GT. 

 

 

Remove the post.

It doesn't matter to me. But for those who don't like it, why don't you just NOT click on the link....its kind of that simple. I do not see any derogatory remarks when the photos are posted, and most of the photos are pretty clean cut, in addition to being photos that have already been posted online. And no, these female are not "teens" but legal adults in these photos. If the female fans on this board want to make a similar post with men in it then go ahead. I have a daughter and she is beautiful. I already know that men and hell even some women may find her attractive...and its simply part of the game of life. I have no vote in this topic. 

The women in those threads have not consented to being objectified. 

To add: I look at it like a 3rd NFL preseason game. You want to see how the team comes out in the 3rd quarter and makes adjustments.

At least until late in the 3rd quarter, even if we're up by 4 touchdowns. In-game reps are invaluable.

The Big East days were fun because we had some good conference mates with at least 1 in contention for the BCS championship game most years. Now, OOC P5 games are only ones that I look forward to. I couldn’t care less about the conference games, including UCF.

Of most concern is FAMU being consistently higher each year. Their annual enrollment is a fraction of USF.

Build the OCS!

What breaks ground first: USF OCS or a Rays stadium in Ybor?

I say OCS (because the Rays stadium won’t be built). 

Who is Alex McGough?

I have no knowledge of this situation, but here is a NCAA bylaw that seems relevant:

 

14.4.3.1.6

Football student-athletes who do not earn 9-semester/8-quarter hours during the fall term and fail to earn the eligibility point may not be eligible to compete during the first four games during the next season

All football student-athletes

Solid work. Sounds like this may be what happened.

If JK were even halfway decent at his job he would have provided this information in a written story. Instead, he spends a few minutes texting his sources and sends out a tweet. Very lazy from the dedicated beat reporter.

Is Joey truly hearing something different, or is it typical lazy reporting from him?

I like the design.  I am far removed from the Tampa area, but from reading comments on here and following the Tampa sports scene it is going to be very difficult to get residents to take on any of the debt to build an on campus stadium for USF. It will have to be 100%, or close to it, booster/alumni funded. 

You can thank the billionaire Glazers for that. Residents don't want any more of their tax dollars going towards stadiums (good luck Rays).

Can the TBT send him to cover something else already? He’s trying to hang on CWT nuts like he’s a sack wrinkle. They could easily bring in Joey Johnston or given Thor a shot. Hell bring back the big shot Jeff O. Almost anybody, even some of the mentally unstable drunken panhandlers in the area, could do a better job at covering our athletic department.

Jeff Odom is the worst. No thanks.

Thanks for the heads up! I renewed this morning and was given the option to pick up the jersey at a (complimentary) basketball game. Very cool perk indeed 

How? I still don't have the option to renew.

Joey Knight is trash. Wish we had a Bianchi covering the program. 

This is truly a bittersweet memory for me. It was, by far, the single greatest USF home game I’ve attended. But on the other hand, I know we’ll likely never see a crowd and fan support like that again (barring inclusion in the P5 which is a long shot).

USF up to 140 from 159! UCF dropped 5 spots from 171 to 176...

UCF is even below FIT (#151).

Joey did a fine job. He was asked to cover a lot more - focus on USF football dropped so hard for him to have the same level of attention Greg had.

This group busted on him for the wrong reasons. Fan support/attendance is news worthy and every beat reporter in America would include it if they had access.

Appreciate his hard work and wish him the best.

Joey clearly hates his job. He has no interest in covering USF. Here's hoping that he gets replaced.

USF has not done well west of the Mississippi, squeaking out only 1 win on a prayer of a chance vs UNR.  I was at that game and the USF fans went nuts at the end.  

USF has won at UNT, Houston, TCU, SMU, and Tulsa as well.

Selmon's on Boy Scout is the one to go to. Great crowd, and the restaurant offers good deals on food during the game.

also kinda looks like a mini baylor

Looks bigger, but their stadium seats 45K. Right in the middle of the 40-50K projection for the USF stadium. Love that they included an overhang.

The only remotely feasible reason for USF initiating the move would be to avoid going against the FSU-Bama broadcast that could potentially hurt the butts in seats. In all our existence, I'm sure there were plenty of marquis matchups that our home opener went against but never affected our start time. Until something more definitive comes out, JK's statement is the best reason we have. 

I think that is the most plausible reason. While it's unfortunate that we have to pander to FSU fans, it's the reality we face.

The bigger issue is that we need to seriously increase the quality of our schedule. Week 1, Tulsa plays OK State, and Temple plays Notre Dame. We need to consistently secure marquee week 1 match ups like that. The Notre Dame opener in 2011 was a fantastic way to start the season.
