I've always loved reading the Times, but I'll never pay for a subscription to them. Seeing the amount of exposure they give USF has been very disappointing over the last few years.
This should have 1000 Up votes. If you're not absolutely loving this season, and you're not 100% certain this team is improved and is probably best team USF has ever fielded just because you thought they HAD to win the conference for it to be successful, than I kinda feel bad for you.
Honestly, if CWT were to leave after next season, considering the season goes as expected, I think we would be able to pull someone in better than Butch at this point in his career.
Lol.... if you've been watching USF this season and think Mitchell Wilcox is the ONLY player with even potential for the NFL draft, you're going to very pleasantly surprised when you watch the draft over the next three years.
Not saying I don't have fun, not saying I don't think there are a lot of good tailgates at Ray Jay. I'm saying the atmosphere of having a majority of the student population on campus enjoying gameday is favorable to only the fans that drive 30 mins to the game. Disagree with me if you'd like.
And those 35k borderline students that don't go to games in college are very unlikely go to games in the future, losing thousands of potential alumni fans each year.
Young UCF/UF/FSU alumni go for the gameday experience and the atmosphere, not entirely for the game. I don't care how much fun your tailgate is, but it's not as fun as the ones On-Campus at the in-state schools.
The problem is not the students that go to the game. The problem is, the ones that don't go, are not involved with USF football AT ALL. Gameday on Fowler Avenue is barely any different than a Saturday in March, and that is a HUGE problem.
