My ire is apparently misguided ... Per JK, "Honestly, we don't know the logic behind the shift from a conventional 7 p.m. kickoff, only that it's TV's call."

Just another reason to ******* hate ESPN ...

We are the first ESPN3 game of the day. There are 7 games after ours that kickoff between 6 and 8pm (http://www.espn.com/college-football/schedule). I don't buy the "blame ESPN" argument. Athletics had to have a say in this.

Stoney Brook at 4pm. Odd figured that would be 7pm for sure.

I'm guessing that they are testing a new start time for the annual cupcake game in an effort to boost attendance. No other reason to not have this game at 7pm. It's not on TV, and the weather will still be hot at 4pm (or worse: thunderstorms).

When does the vote take place?

after one year on a 5 year deal...seems they're taking contract advice from woolard 

 

They know he's gone the first year they win 8+ games, so they probably increased the buyout. The problem is: will he ever win 8+ there?

Best of luck to the newest Colt!

Hopefully the next coach values him because Pagano is gone after this year. 

Another one off the board. This is getting bad.

Honest question, does anyone really care about the overall trophy thing? 

Nope. Just want to win a conference title. Couldn't care less who we beat along the way.

I agree it's been good, and Ken is a obviously a great coach.  However, I would think that the best softball players in the country would want to play for the coach of team USA.  I don't know why it hasn't translated.

AAC.

Decided to commit today after all, and chooses UF

 

Not surprised. They're desperate.

Too bad Masiello didn't get his degree. We probably would be in better shape under him. This hire could not have been worse.

Maybe not. Manhattan was 13-18 last year, and currently 5-9.

Odom is a hack. Just follow his twitter and you'll see his hot takes and fan confrontations. The university deserves an actual professional journalist who respects the programs.

So we are doubling are spending on football in 2 years from $3 mill to $6 mill?

Strong's UT contract, Taggart's buyout, and Skip coming off the books definitely help.

What would be bigger for the program, a Heisman winner or a conference championship and NY6 bowl win?

Heisman for the long term prestige. That would put Q and USF in elite company. 

First time we've experienced this and it's definitely a lot different than when a coach is fired. Players aren't bitter at the school and for the most part are happy for the coach.

USF is a great situation for any candidate. They step into a 10 win team returning a ton of offense. Charlie would be smart to reconsider. 

I think the timing is actually for the best. We'll have a loaded offense next year for the new coach which will help ease him in, and add a boost to recruiting. If Willie left after next year the new coach may have struggled in 2018. 

I think Oregon overplayed their hand. Is Taggart really a better option than Helfrich?

The Tony Dungy thing still bothers me. I am sure it is not rational.

Agreed. On one hand Dungy advocates for USF and was actively working for them to get a Big12 invite, but on the other he is actively advocating for another program to hire away USF's coach. Never liked Dungy; thought he was a fraud. This further cements my belief.

Why tf is Troy ranked. That is absolutely ridiculous. 

Joey Knight must really hate his job. He really goes out of his way to denigrate USF. He should move on to cover something that he actually cares about; it would be best for him and the university. https://twitter.com/tbtimes_bulls/status/797813376948772865

If Leavitt were still here, would USF be in the same position they are in presently? I think we'd still be in the AAC, and probably have the same record this year. The only difference is that we wouldn't have been so down from 2011-2014.

USF DOesnt deserve to be ranked yet

We are right where we belong, but no 3 loss team deserves to be ranked at this point (FSU). If we win convincingly at Memphis we'll get in.
