I saw a tweet with his face on a locomotive plowing through snow that said "All Aboard the Taggart Train." Can't find it though.

Not quite what you're talking about but I did this one yesterday

This was my favorite. Found it at Target in Wesley Chapel.

Rob Higgins

He left a message with the Tennessee AD a couple weeks ago.

I don't know that he said it was great but I'd assuming what he's referencing is when Strong said a 9-2 season and losing to UCF was not a failure. http://www.tampabay.com/sports/college/Berth-in-conference-title-game-at-stake-Friday-for-USF-Bulls_162915451

FTFY

USF Team tells Coach Strong: "No kidding."

Yes

It's unfortunate to be on the wrong end of one of the greatest games of the year. While browsing reddit, I noticed that the USF-UCF post-game thread was the #9 trending story on the entire site with more than 1,800 comments. It's interesting to see the thoughts of the average college football fan. If nothing else, it looks like the game was great exposure for both teams. Here are some perspectives from college football fans on the CFB sub-reddit. The top-rated comments sorted by popularity are: https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/7fblau/postgame_thread_ucf_defeats_usf_4942/?st=jaffkbhe&sh=80bf2ec7 1. "What a ******* game" - A Wisconsin fan, 349 pts 2. "This is one of those great games that you want to watch from a neutral perspective but not for your own team. It’s also one of those even greater games where you still have a heart attack watching even though you don’t have a team in it." - An Oregon fan, 599 pts 3. "GAME OF THE YEAR" - A Michigan fan, 1841 pts 4. "Idk anything about cfb but that was very exciting" - A casual viewer, 1172 pts 5. "USF didn't lose this game. UCF just won it more" - An FSU fan, 1352 pts 6. "Quinton Flowers just had one of the greatest performances I've ever seen, and looked bored the whole time doing it." - Central Arkansas/Arkansas fan, 217 pts

And the team mantra — unspoken yet palpable — has been that nothing short of a title will suffice, despite Strong’s recent efforts to hedge that preseason message to his team. "You won nine games and you’re sitting here at 9-1," he told reporters Tuesday. "You’re going to lose to an undefeated team if you (lose today), so it’s not like you’re sitting there where you lost to a team that’s won five games. So it’s not a failure."

You mean like losing to Houston?

The only other 9-1 team is Memphis, so if we're not the worst, we're the best.

There's your first problem

I dunno -- I think Houston was pretty significant...

I must be missing something -- why would he be anticipating that? Is Willie Taggart going to interrupt the game WWE style by running through the tunnel, hit Sterling Gilbert over the head with a steel chair, give CCS a Stone Cold Stunner, and take over playcalling duties? Because that's what would need to happen for us to see the GCO on Friday...

Considering that Friday is the day that we get to see CSGs secret playbook, I think we're going to destroy them.

These announcers suck. Within the span of one play they say McCants blew a route (even though Tulsa had the ball) and called us Florida.

In our inaugural season, we averaged 34,000 spectators per game (vs 33,000 this year); we played Kentucky Wesleyan, Drake, Morehead State, Southern Illinois, Charleston Southern, Georgia Southern, and Davidson. Looks like our fanbase peaked in 1997 -- all downhill from there.
