After reading the ESPN article on WVU's Slaton and White, I noticed that USF's name was peppered throughout the comment section regarding how USF was LUCKY to win that game at WVU last year. I simply added that it was not luck, but the play of a strong defense coupled with our O taking advantage of the TOs. Some guy did make a valid point (as much as I want to disagree with him)........... "South Florida came to play that day and West Virginia didn't. Simple as that. South Florida played about as good as they could have on the road, and West Virginia thought they'd win by just jogging out onto the field. South Florida has pulled 2 major upsets in the past 2 years, but they've also had a few losses to less-than-good teams as well. Come on South Florida. Losing to Kansas who was 6-6 and 3-5 in the weak Big 12? Getting stomped by Cincy? (I know Cincy was pretty decent this year, but it's not like they were even flirting with the rankings. They weren't THAT good.) How about last year. Losing to friggin' Connecticut? Come on. Losing to a Pitt team that wasn't even in a bowl? Come on. Or getting blanked by NC State? BLANKED? Come ON. South Florida has pulled a few upsets, but that's exactly what they were. Upsets. We call them upsets because the team that's truly better didn't prevail. South Florida seems to be on the rise, which is good for the Big East, but let's not blow artificial smoke up their rear ends. South Florida is a decent team that could very well break into the rankings this year. Until that happens, though, I'd say Bull fans need to tone down the rhetoric. You have a decent team, but truly there's nothing to be cocky about. Try to at least break into the rankings or even finish 2nd in the Big East before you tell everybody how great your team is." http://myespn.go.com/conversation/story?id=2800705 He's right. If we want respect, we must beat marginal teams. But I think we already know this.
