too bad 30,000 didn't rush the field instead of 30 or 40...

the Bulls longest winning streak? Can't remember if was 10 -11 ???

speaking of slamming the attendance it may be a good idea to bring up the police brutality that will drive the fans away TSA rules or nnot!!!

I'm with you..... I've got a hunch that the Bulls are going to pull this one off ..

no harm intended, just thought it was funny how you stood up to them.... ;D

you da man, was reading your posts on the My- yammii board,, you sure do like kicking hornets nest thats for sure ;D You remind me of my brother the time when we came up on a huge wasp nest along the road, (10in-12in wide) and he desides to take em on so to speak,,, he got within two to three feet away from it so as not to miss hitting the nest with a rock...he got the nest alrigth it was a bulls- eye but he couldn't outrun them little boogers as they came after him. ;D ;D ;D Just in case, you may consider having some crow recipes on hand if the Bulls lose don't ya know :D

Josh Newburg,, as I read on one of the post,,, said that the Bulls coaches are only looking hard at 4 or so of the recruits that were at the game..that would make me think they're after some really big fish this year.

ROME= The bigest joke ,also the biggest butt kisser he likes to talk the smack on the waves but when not hiding behind the mike he's an real panty waisted, foggy brained, nerd. I could care less what he thinks of football period... he makes Lee Corso look like the biggest sports hero of all time. >

Don't forget to add Chad Simpson to the list...

Louisville fans were posting messages on USFNation.com, the Bulls' Scout.com affiliate website, congratulating USF on the win. A Penn State fan thanked the Bulls for validating PSU's win over South Florida earlier this season. Fans from West Virginia chimed in. Miami fans posted notes saying how much they were looking forward to playing the Bulls next week. And my favorite - a random Cal Bears fan posted a note with the heading, "Who ARE you guys???" Who are they, indeed. To recap, from the blog entry in this space a mere 24 hours before this historic win: the Bulls of the University of South Florida, a program whose storied history goes all the way back to, umm, 1997, were the 9th-best rushing team in the nation entering the weekend. USF had the 5th-best passing defense, the 8th-best total defense, and the 17th-best scoring defense in all the land - and all of that was before they held the high-flying Cardinal offense to 104 rushing yards and 14 points on Saturday. Andre Hall, the best running back in the state, did his part with 83 rushing yards and two touchdowns, but it was the previously unheralded Amarri Jackson who will be dancing through Bobby Petrino's nightmares for the next several weeks. Jackson, a 6-5 sophomore from Riverview High School in Sarasota, ran for two touchdowns on reverses and passed for another, not to mention a 57 yard catch-and-run on the Bulls' second play of the game that set up Hall's first TD. In three prior games this season, Jackson had totaled 3 receptions for 15 yards. Hello, big time. The night before the game, we had Josh Newberg, the administrator of USFNation.com, as a guest on Sports Talk Live. Josh and I traded e-mail before and after the show, and he allowed as how his appearance on Sun Sports would be great press for the Bulls. Josh, I think your football team took care of the press. And even though I completely blindsided you by asking you to pick the winner, you're welcome. Hey, making the guests and analysts look smart is part of my job description. It was USF's first win over a ranked opponent in six tries, it stopped Louisville's nine game winning streak, and it all came in the first ever Big East game for the Bulls. Biggest win in school history? Duh. Perhaps even more importantly for the University of South Florida, the win over Louisville lifts the program a full notch higher than UCF, Florida International, and Florida Atlantic in the race to be included in conversation with the Big Three of Florida, Florida State, and Miami. We often field e-mails from fans of the Other Four, asking us why we don't bring more coverage of their teams during our Chevy Tailgate Saturday block of programming. Officially, there are three answers we give them, having to do with the following factors: -Our contractual agreements with Florida and FSU, -The contractual agreements between those other schools, their respective conferences, and competing networks, -And the laws of supply and demand with our viewers and advertisers. Unofficially, my answer has always been, "Just win, baby." Win meaningful games, force yourself into the discussion, and we'll be more than happy to give you the love you deserve. Just win. We don't discriminate, and there's no agenda. It's not about money, or contracts, or broadcast rights. It's about winning. That's my answer, anyway. Congratulations, Bulls. You just won. Welcome to the show. http://southflorida.scout.com/2/443951.html

And everyone wonders why we can't fill the stadium!

(kinda long) Weis uses play called by 10-year-old boy dying of inoperable brain tumor By TOM COYNE, AP Sports Writer September 25, 2005 SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -- Charlie Weis doesn't usually let anyone else call plays on offense. He made an exception for 10-year-old Montana Mazurkiewicz. The Notre Dame coach met last week with Montana, who had been told by doctors weeks earlier that there was nothing more they could do to stop the spread of his inoperable brain tumor. ``He was a big Notre Dame fan in general, but football especially,'' said his mother, Cathy Mazurkiewicz. ADVERTISEMENT Weis showed up at the Mazurkiewicz home in Mishawaka, just east of South Bend, and talked with Montana about his tumor and about Weis' 10-year-old daughter, Hannah, who has global development delay, a rare disorder similar to autism. He told Montana about some pranks he played on Joe Montana -- whom Montana was named after -- while they were roommates at Notre Dame. ``I gave him a chance to hammer me on the Michigan State loss, which he did very well. He reminded me of my son,'' said Weis, whose son, Charlie Jr., is 12 years old. Weis said the meeting was touching. ``He told me about his love for Notre Dame football and how he just wanted to make it through this game this week,'' Weis said. ``He just wanted to be able to live through this game because he knew he wasn't going to live very much longer.'' As Weis talked to the boy, Cathy Mazurkiewicz rubbed her son's shoulder trying to ease his pain. Weis said he could tell the boy was trying not to show he was in pain. His mother told Montana, who had just become paralyzed from the waist down a day earlier because of the tumor, to toss her a football Weis had given him. Montana tried to throw the football, put could barely lift it. So Weis climbed into the reclining chair with him and helped him complete the pass to his mother. Before leaving, Weis signed the football. ``He wrote, 'Live for today for tomorrow is always another day,''' Mazurkiewicz said. ``He told him: 'You can't worry about tomorrow. Just live today for everything it has and everything you can appreciate,'' she said. ``He said: 'If you're (in pain) today you might not necessarily be in pain tomorrow, or it might be worse. But there's always another day.'' Weis asked Montana if there was something he could do for him. He agreed to let Montana call the first play against Washington on Saturday. He called ``pass right.'' Montana never got to see the play. He died Friday at his home. Weis heard about the death and called Mazurkiewicz on Friday night to assure her he would still call Montana's play. ``He said, 'This game is for Montana, and the play still stands,''' she said. Weis said he told the team about the visit. He said it wasn't a ``Win one for the Gipper'' speech, because he doesn't believe in using individuals as inspiration. He just wanted the team to know people like Montana are out there. ``That they represent a lot of people that they don't even realize they're representing,'' Weis said. When the Irish started on their own 1-yard-line following a fumble recovery, Mazurkiewicz wasn't sure Notre Dame would be able to throw a pass. Weis was concerned about that, too. So was quarterback Brady Quinn. ``He said what are we going to do?'' Weis said. ``I said we have no choice. We're throwing it to the right.'' Weis called a play where most of the Irish went left, Quinn ran right and looked for tight end Anthony Fasano on the right. Mazurkiewicz watched with her family. ``I just closed my eyes. I thought, 'There's no way he's going to be able to make that pass. Not from where they're at. He's going to get sacked and Washington's going to get two points,''' she said. Fasano caught the pass and leapt over a defender for a 13-yard gain. ``It's almost like Montana was willing him to beat that defender and take it to the house,'' Weis said. Mazurkiewicz was happy. ``It was an amazing play. Montana would have been very pleased. I was very pleased,'' she said. ``I was just so overwhelmed. I couldn't watch much more.'' Weis called her again after the game, a 36-17 victory by the 13th-ranked Fighting Irish, and said he had a game ball signed by the team that he wanted to bring to the family on Sunday. ``He's a very neat man. Very compassionate,'' she said. ``I just thanked him for using that play, no matter the circumstances.''

As long as it's not Hawaii,,,just can't go that fer But did I hear you print New Years??? whew Now thats what I call being an opptimist

As long as it's not Hawaii,,,just can't go that fer

I don't care if the bulls play in the tiddy bowl as long as its a bowl

what will give the bulls respect woud be for the ville to beat the ever loving snot out of the tar babies and for the bulls to play the canes close....

And here I thought missouri was the speed capital of the world

Y'all knows he be talken about them there hurricanes

Were at the next level ya dumb yankee ;D Don't you know it's amazing how good coaching, is knowing when to call certain plays. Smith called plays that the birds defense gave him ( being in man to man ect)and the players carried it out. But the real thing is that he knows the Bulls weak (Julmiste for instance) and strong points and is able to reconize opposing teams weaknese etc and is using that to the Bulls advantage. That is what I call being a good coordinator. The man has done nothing but good but the second the the bulls lose a game or a player screws up a play then ROD SMITH and or Leavitt becomes the vocal point to the crybaby nit picking bunch that can't be satisfied by beating the 8th best team in the nation or the other two blow out wins Some of yuh are beginning to sound like the 4-0 nit fans that want joe pa fired for not winning big enough. >

Gotta add Carlton Williams stop of the lou Wr what would have been a sure td before the half ended.

aye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The man backs up his words and Elvis couldn't hang on for the ride GO BULLS!!!

Please explain if you will???
