Nice uniforms!

Been awhile since I’ve heard the “Over-rated!” chant. I could go a little longer before hearing it again.

One of the biggest issues and complaints that we receive on a per game basis is that there are people within both clubs who do not have access to be in there.

We did speak with the TSA prior to the UConn game and it was determined that the doors that are past the automatic Club Access sections were the areas that were the most prone to admitting patrons into the club who do not have the access to be there. The end result was what you saw Saturday evening in that those areas were not staffed and the doors were locked.

We want to be sure that we are protecting the investment of those who have made the additional gifts to the Bulls Club in order to have Club Access.

E.T., like you, I also sit in a non automatic club section, but make the additional gift to provide Club Access. I make it a point at every home game to take off my pass and go to club to see if I am asked to show my ticket. I'm not sure if there is a correlation or not, but I am asked more when I enter through the automatic club access sections (208-213 on the West and 233-238 on the East) than the sections where Club Access is not automatic to the tickets.

We will absolutely be reviewing this before the game versus Tulane on November 3rd.

So a question to those impacted by this locked door(s) (and for which the answers may be helpful in John's upcoming meeting). 

After hearing the reasoning given, are you okay with going into the club through a different door to assist in keeping the non-club members out?

Or do you think for your donation they should spend the money, staff the door, and just do their job of checking tickets?

There a lot of people with club access that walk pretty far up from the 100 sections.  How far are you being asked to walk across to other doors - from just one side of your rows to the others or do you have to go a couple sections over?

I know it’s taking longer for the lots to empty out. May have to break out the chairs next game.

Stay longer then.

That’s exactly what we do. We stand around and let everyone sit in line while we talk about the game.

Just saying it’s been longer each game and we should sit instead of stand.

That’s a good thing, right?

I know it’s taking longer for the lots to empty out. May have to break out the chairs next game.

Nothin’ to worry about there.

If I win, you will see a large donor come forward with about 25-50 million to the school donated only for an OCS.

If I win, it will be called Boomer Stadium.

Have we even ever have had a rival?

WVU Couchburners. Those were some fun games.

WVU never considered us their rival. As fun as those games were (and I went to every one of them both in Tampa and Morgantown), Pitt was their rival and really still is even though they live in different conferences now. 

I really wanted us to be rivals and I believe they only won one more game than us in the series, but it was clear they thought no more of us as a rival as anyone else in the Big East.

why shouldn't we?

Because right now they appear to be the better team.

With 4:03 left on the game USF had a 3.9% chance to win the game according to ESPN's game flow. Unbelievable comeback!

Would’ve loved to have had a screenshot of that and be able to post it in the locker room.

P.S. If Memphis can take down Central FL tomorrow, will we pass UCF in the polls?

That’s a great question, and it pains me to say we shouldn’t.

Can we get more Florida transfers? That’s the only downside to his success, we have to hear everyone describe him as a Florida transfer.

At this point our program needs P5 players not happy with their playing time to transfer.  

So hopefully every time they say that, some  talented P5 player is considering his options. 

Someday we may not rely on transfers,  but right now we do. 

A friend of mine texted the same during the game.  I missed it. 

GOOOOOLD!

I think Alfalfa may have beaten you to “it”.

Thanks - just put it on my phone!

Wait - LSU instructs their band not to play a certain song, and when they do they get fined?

Surely there’s a university employee somewhere in the chain that would be held accountable right?  

A fine seems like a strange consequence in this type of relationship. 

No more than saying, "United We Stand" means we don't usually get.....

Never mind.

GREEN!

I saw Stevie Ray Vaughn at Curtis Hixon back in the day and the only guy standing in the entire audience  is about 4 rows in front of me.  Hes not only standing up, he’s standing in his chair.  I finally get fed up and wad up my paper cup and throw and hit him mid back. He turns around and glares down at the guy behind him and he shrugs and says it wasn’t him. Then everyone says “Sit DOWN”. He does his tough guy glare at the crowd and then sits. Was that you? 

If it was the 1987 show with Gregg Allman, I was at that show as well. One of the best...

Thankfully I get the BTN channels as part of my sports package with Spectrum.  I went on last night to record the game and happened to catch a brief discussion on the matchup.

How bad of a person would I be to keep this 8pm info to myself and tell the rest of my tailgating crew that it's a 7pm game so I get a whole extra hour of tailgating?

If they don't break out the black unis for the ECU game, then I'm betting Strong's saving them for Black Friday.

Or you can go to the game. I hear the clarity is amazing in person - almost life like.

Of course that option might be a tad more than $9.99.
