  1. Yes - I remember and read the book. I think at the time of the book, at least one of the Buc victim’s family was not happy about it. Wonder if they are involved this time.
  2. Sad news. Read the article in the Times this morning. Obviously we don’t have all the details. How is a person who is reported missing and later found fully clothed with no ID floating in a waterway considered “not suspicious”? But probably none of our business anyway.
  3. So sorry to hear. Too young. You did a great service to him with your post. Very well done.
  4. I’ve already purchased tickets for the ECU game when I’m hoping they’ll be a Top 25 team again.
  5. Sorry but no big-name program or UCF. This needs to be a guaranteed win. No one outside USF would fault us for picking a lightweight to open a season in a new stadium, so let’s not do anything to screw it up ourselves. This has been waited on for too long and it has to be close to perfect to start the season off right and start a new era for our program (but I hope we start an era of winning more than losing sooner than that). I think about all the people who never went to a USF basketball game or followed college football that went to the inaugural game and suddenly were season ticket holders and remained so for very long. So yeah - I want to spend the game walking around or soaking in the scenery from my new season ticket seats, getting to know my new neighbors, and standing to cheer (a lot) when we score again and again. No drama - just a nice night in the new digs.
  6. A kid (yes a kid) walked up to my buddy as we were walking out of the stadium and offered him $40 for the bobble head. He had a shirt with QF on so there was obviously an attraction to it. But $40??!! If the kid had only approached us from the left instead of the right I would have been the one to go home being reimbursed for 2.5 of the beers I drank.
  7. I’m beginning to question my nickname. I served in the Navy as an electrician onboard Ballistic Missile “Boomer” submarines. But technically, the year of my birth is at the very end of the Boomer age so I guess I’m stuck with it!
  8. I just completed this quiz. My Score 0/100 My Time 4 seconds  
  9. By “the world” you mean future coaches you may want to lure someday. The problem is that recruits only have a few years of eligibility, and I can’t imagine a program having this much patience is attractive to them.
  10. So we shouldn’t be surprised because we were heavy underdogs in those games. But Coach, why are we still heavy underdogs?!
  11. I just have the little Honda Inverter Generator that I bring to tailgate. It’ll run some fans, a tv, and the fridge. I test it in June every year before football season so it’s ready for that and hurricanes. This year it ran rough and stalled. After a couple YouTube videos I cleaned my first carburetor!
  12. Lived in St. Pete for 35 years and have evacuated twice: Charley and Irma. Both times we went to our friend’s house in Lakeland. Both times it missed St. Pete and went through Lakeland where we lost power. This time we did absolutely every last thing to evacuate other than pack the car with suitcases and stuff we staged in the garage. Once we saw the first shift to the south, and another, and then the third, we called it off. Again, the house in Lakeland just got power back last night, and it never flickered here in St. Pete. But I’ll never get complacent. These things can wreak havoc, and did I mention my elevation is only 7 feet?
  13. Should be a good game now that the Cards have got the point spread out of the way.
  14. I hate that there a couple kids hanging their heads pretty low after that ending, but man - almost every other key player has to be feeling A LOT more confident about what they can do.
