  1. On the glass half-full viewpoint, what if BB enlisted Rosenhaus with the goal of helping him tap into marketing better in the Tampa market. Tampa is a huge market with a lot of possibilities. Don't discount that.
  2. For his sake and ours, I hope Coach Mohl gets the ship righted this year. A lot of positive things going on with Athletics this academic year, I'd love to be able to see baseball go on another run too.
  3. I won't be concerned about Byrum leaving because of this until we've been given a reason to worry. I'm going to enjoy the season with Byrum setting more records and hopefully leading us to a conference championship and (thus likely) playoff birth. He seems to legitimately love being at USF and until such time as his name goes into the portal, I'm not gonna lose sleep over it.
  4. Excuse me sir. 40 in one poll. Put some respek on their name
  5. John Daly never did. Something to admire for sure, the lack of concern for what other people think about his build or his style.
  6. What the is happening? What the is this life? Never thought I'd see the day.
  7. I mean, I said the same. Like MVS what are you doing nooooooooo
  8. The hint is that it was a win over a B1G team. Hence a B1G win and a B1G way to start the weekend.
  9. Gonna need @Gatorbull325 to weigh in with his thoughts on this one
  10. Had some money on that in the Hard Rock app. Double happy to see him score the TD (though would have much preferred it was also the first TD of the game and in the first quarter).
  11. One of the maddening things about CKE's tenure is that we've never been able to consistently put together a great offense. He always manages to find an ace to hold us down for 3-4 years, but the offense has always been inconsistent.
  12. Might have to make a day of it by hitting the spring game and then hopping over to watch the softball team play Wichita State. Assuming my daughter's softball team doesn't have any games that weekend.
  13. To be fair, if we had run a system that fit his skills he could have been. We just didn't have the talent for it yet in 2014 and the system switch in 2015 didn't align itself with his talents. Dude was no slouch at Western Kentucky.
  14. SEC doesn't need FSU or Clemson insofar as they already have a presence in both Florida and South Carolina. I think the appeal for the SEC adding those teams would be to keep them out of the B1G's hands. And the Big 12 nerds may not want to hear it, but FSU isn't gonna go to the Big 12 so they can make the same money as UCF. That's why all the hubbub in the first place. They're either going to the SEC or B1G or finding a common ground with the ACC to boost revenue and stay long-term (the least likely option of the 3 at this point).
  15. The threat of lawsuits over collusion are what I assume would keep them at bay. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Notre Dame's resources are far deeper than FSU's and if they thought there was active collusion to keep them out to push them into a conference, they'd no doubt sue every and anyone they had to.
  16. Correct. At some point (and we may already be getting close), the number of people using streaming apps will be higher than the number of people on cable. At that point it's going to be a matter of people actually paying for your streaming platform rather than being roped in by carriage fees on channels they don't watch.
  17. Is this standalone ESPN service going to include the conference networks that they currently have ownership of? If it includes ACC and SEC Networks than it may not be as damaging as the Big 12 shill seems to think. At least not much more than the streaming model will damage anybody else.
  18. As to the Notre Dame discourse, I think the only way a deserving ND gets squeezed out of the playoff is if there is a concerted, coordinated effort to sabotage their status as an independent in an effort to force them to join a conference. I imagine anyone involved with that effort would face some kind of severe financial blowback whenever that coordinated sabotage eventually becomes public knowledge (it always does at some point). With that in mind, I think there's zero chance they leave a deserving Notre Dame out of the playoff for a similar-in-record SEC or B1G team.
  19. I mean, they weren't stronger than the Pac 12 either, but Big 12 leadership played things smarter than the Pac 12 and we see how that ended up.
  20. Hitting 40 this year and there are times where I've gotta ice the knees after a 90-minute softball practice (and I'm coaching, not playing )
  21. Notre Dame to B1G makes a lot of sense to everyone outside of the fact that as an independent they make as much or more then most P5 schools in media revenue. Until there is financial incentive (i.e. the P2 squeezing them out in CFP revenue), they won't feel the need to join a conference because their name holds as much clout as it does
  22. Trying to push Notre Dame to give up their independence and join one of their conferences.
