  1.  

     

    Sadly there are absolute zero reasons to even think that USF might win another game.

    +1

     

    If White plays, and is decent, I think we cover. But a win, on the road, with UCF 6 days away, I think it is quite unlikely.  But...these kids now see a bowl as possible, so maybe they can pull it off.  Stranger things have happened in our 17+ years.

     

    What do you mean when you say now they have a bowl possibility?  A bowl has been a possibility since the season began.  It has only been less and less possible with each loss.  The possibility of a bowl has not been shown to be a motivator for this team so far.

  2. This is my least favorite game time, but let me focus on the positive:

     

    1 - Should be a little cooler so tailgating may actually be pleasant.

    2 - More apt to tailgate after the game (especially with a win) since it won't be too late at night

    3 - Since it will be Veterans/Military Appreciation Day they will either have the paratroopers landing on the field or a nice flyover that will be visible in the daylight.

     

    Anything else?

  3. The music and the other hype up antics are fine early and when the momentum is going our way. It was terrible when we gave up the lead in the fourth quarter and they're trying to get us to vote on the plays of the game (all from the first half) and trying to keep the crowd hyped up. I don't feel like singing and dancing when my team is giving up a 19 yard run on 1st and 30.

    Part of home field advantage should be don't fuel the hype/momentum of the other Team. I'm sure ECU fans enjoyed the fourth Qtr music more than we did.

     

    Positive energy is good when it doesn't look delusional.

     

    This is when I wish I personally knew a football player to get their side of this discussion.  I do know that I see the kick-off team swaying to the music before the kickoff even when we're down (at the start of the 2nd half - not just after we score).  I gotta believe our defense hears the music on third downs as well.  If you had it your way there would be no noise at all when we're down.  Heck - tell the cheerleaders to go home when we're down by more than two scores in the fourth quarter.

     

    Regardless, I've always thought that the music was for both the fans and the players, and especially the players when the fans are not there or if they're too quiet.

  4. It easy to look back now and say "yeah well what I would've done is..." 

    Back when this happened there was A LOT of anti-Leavitt feeling on this board because of the fact that his teams couldn't deliver down the stretch and also how some thought he had misused Mike Ford as he was the sole reason we won our bowl game against NIU that year.

    Now its clear that eventually recruiting really is the key to how successful our program can be, maybe had Leavitt had a couple of more recruting years with a BCS tag...

    But you gotta remember that he didn't get fired for "striking" Miller, but for forcing his coaches and players to change their story. Leavitt got canned for the cover-up more than the crime so he had to go.

    CJL was the father of this program and its a shame how his legacy ended around here, its going to take something BIG (opening of an OCS in 2018?) for USF and Leavitt to agree to some kind of public appearance or ceremony which kind of sucks because the man loved the school

     

    .

    That is never going to happen.  Nothing "BIG" enough will happen for him and/or the University to want to have all of it dug up and written about again prior to the "appearance or ceremony."  It won't be worth it.

  5. Game Day Desperation Sale!

     

    Four seats together:

    Section 113

    Row P

    Seats 17-20

    Home side of the stadium

     

    You don't have to pay the $1,000 donation required for this section!

     

    $500 for the four or $250 for a pair.

     

    I will be in Lot 7 no later than 5:30.  I also have a Lot 7 parking pass for sale so I could meet outside the stadium earlier if you want to include that as well ($100).

     

    PM me if interested.

  6. Just tuned into the Temple Vanderbilt game and noticed that Vanderbilt has "Anchor Down" on the back of their jerseys instead of names. They still have three timeouts. I'm confused - what am I missing?

    I do see that the letters are black on black jerseys. Is that the loophole?

  7. I believe you can get into the club with tickets in any section with at least a $1,000 donation to the Bulls club. The number of tickets that you can get Club access with the one $1,000 donation, I'm not sure.

    You can always look at the tickets I have for sale in a thread below, but they are not club access though. But they are on the Bulls side of the field so sun is at least at your back for most games.

    Otherwise give John Lewis a call to give you more info on what's available. 813-974-7492.
