I think, if you measure, the height of the rims will be 10 feet and the distance to the free throw line will be 15 feet.

I don't mind the Bulls playing in high school gyms, I just don't want to lose to high school teams.

Good with all that but heck no to 12 and 0. 

I'm all about the dream, but I think even Vladimir has taken the under on that.

They are as indicative as any other game of the season IMO. How good a team is is not determined from the result of a single game, but the culmination of the season and the visual and statistical growth that occurs throughout the year, hopefully resulting in increased program awareness and subsequent higher level recruiting.

Unless it's a playoff game, really can't agree with that all .......... now more than ever. A lot of time in bowls the teams are in two totally different "places", with ours being a perfect example, and the results usually show that.

In this new world of college football, in a lot of cases, coaches will more and more embrace the exhibition aspect of the bowl game to try and evaluate players to replace the ones leaving.

Exactly, e.g., our bowl experience with a mid-level ACC team vs. SMU's.

Have they tried joining the Canadian football league? They might find a future there

That would be cool. My favorite pro football league! If only they could get in.

Whoever thought  unc and Uva have more value to b1g or sec over FSU  should lose their twitter sports expert credentials.

Maybe FSU should just move on to the XFL/USFL.

The one I enjoyed most was Pitt in 2001.

The AAC is minor league college football. More often than not, they will lose their bowl games against P5 teams. It is what it is. 

While bowl games are not meaningless to the players playing or (usually) their fans, in the modern climate, most if not all of the games bear no relevance to how good the team was in the regular season or how good they may be in the coming year.  So I watch solely for entertainment and don't get too caught up in who beats who.

That said, I did enjoy the back-to-back outcome of games from Boca and Tampa.

General consensus is they're fine!  I am more interested in how this shakes out for USF.  

Just need to keep chanting that mantra to the B1G:  

"We're AAU! We're AAU!"

Timmy did make a pretty nice throw when he first came in ...... but he may be one of those that plays just well enough to get you beat.

He did however he kinda reminds of a player that will make some incredible highlights but follows them up with stupid decisions.  He gives me that  Jameis vibe, never really got any better, just kept doing the same stupid ****, always thinking he could pull a rabbit out of the hat.

Kind of seems like a recent tradition.  Every bowl game I watch has a former USF QB playing.  Right now watching Jordan McCloud in Military Bowl.  He goes from looking magnificent to awful in alternate plays.

Oops!

I gotta say, for a program that looked like it was dead and buried, any proof of life is welcome.  Perhaps CAG has pull the greatest turnaround since Lazarus.

Yeah, forget the Jim.  Can we get a TJ statue outside the OCS?

OK, so finally I understand my teenage daughter.

Wishing a real rager party Boca style to everyone tripping to the Roofclaim.com Bowl.

Good news for sure!  Hopefully your bride and mine will be healthy enough in 2024 to wheel our old asses into 2025!

Found this higher res version of the rendering on USF's site. It's starting to grow on me, after the initial shock of all the weird shapes has worn off. One thing is for sure that it makes oveido's stadium look like a disaster waiting to happen.

It's funny that many pages back someone complained about the "breaks" in the sections/end zones.  I do live in the desert, and it's not like Tampa, but Tampa can get hot.  They tore down parts of Sun Devil Stadium to get the "breaks" in the sections so that the bowl didn't get so hot.  Air/wind coming in, a little better...but when it's 118 it's 118. 

I think they should strike a sponsorship deal with MacDill and install these Big Ass Fans.

Being a USF/FSU alum, I expected this to be a battle of ugly and told my bride I didn't think FSU could find a way to be worse than the Bulls.  I was wrong, extremely so.

Today was a good day. I will never understand sports though.

It was interesting, to say the least.  When you have been watching USF Men's basketball as long as I have, you grow kind of accustomed to seeing weird things.  

I'll take it though.  Now build off of this.  Go Bulls!

Can we fund a separate entrance for fans of the opponent?  One with the path lined with pictures of destruction, death, dominance with vicious Bulls on either side attempting to gouge them?

I'll donate to that fund. 

Perhaps we can start with the entry road signage.

There are usually two meaningless things in planning most such public infrastructure projects:  Schedules and budgets.
