  1. I tend to agree, but I wish he could spend a little time in Arkansas before committing.
  2. Watched him play some this year and was impressed. Wouldn't mind seeing him in green, even slime.... Ditto from above. Would be nice to build a little more of the USF "family" in MBB.
  3. Things get better and worse every day, same as it always was. That said, I think the current state of college athletics blows.
  4. Ironically, I am a "Bad Bob" who fled to the hills of NC and thought I took my 50+ years of Bulls jinx with me. I will gladly let my title belt pass to you if you want it.
  5. I don't think the kid is eating Chipotle on your dollar, but I get your point and it is valid. I know a lot of fans are frustrated that players want more, more, more when they didn't have the same opportunities. Student/Athletes should be grateful for everything they get. Whether we like NIL or not, it's the current model and we can embrace it or complain. For me personally, I have grown to hate professional sports. I don't even enjoy watching it anymore. I like USF because I feel like the joy to play is pure. I look forward to showing up and cheering on the guys who put on that uniform and dive on the floor. Win or lose, I can respect that. Or you can pay Ben Simmons 200M to sit out because his feelings were hurt Everyone has to define what they think is right for them in their relationship with Bulls and donations. While I was a longtime donor and very active in USF athletics fundraising, between the changes in the college athletics landscape and my own late-life transition in finances and interests, my donation days are pretty much.... I will still support the University, but Bulls athletics is now just strictly a (hopefully) fun diversion.
  6. Yeah, I lost the game and just got it back in time to see how it finished. Good for a change. Go Bulls!
  7. Not much of an offensive explosion by the Bulls so far today.
  8. All except for the 4 Tigers who've entered the other end of that portal .... It may be telling when the coach's son is one of those hitting the portal. Or it just may be that he can read the writing on the wall. That would be an interesting conversation to overhear: "Son, I love you, but you got to move on...."
  9. Yeah, I remember when my soon-to-be bride left her position at USF and one of her possible opportunities was at Arkansas. I told her simply: "Darling, I love you and I would follow you a lot of places. Arkansas is not one of them." We didn't pursue that any further.
  10. Guess he’s not interested in any coaching. Maybe he knows whose next in line.
  11. Drove thru their campus on one of our vacations up in that area. Nice area. A little over an hour's drive north of me and they have recently opened a campus in my new hometown of Hickory. I went to their home opener last season. It was fun but now I'm holding out for them to play some games here (JK). They did for play men's basketball in Hickory. That didn't go so well as they lost to UNC Asheville. So they may not be back.
  12. Scott Kull - Robert D. Atkins ’65 Director of Athletics - Staff Directory WOFFORDTERRIERS.COM Scott Kull was named Wofford College director of athletics, effective April 1, 2024. Kull previously Moved on after a short stint in Charlotte.
  13. Here's an approximation on our funding compared to other schools in conference: NIL Collectives – American Athletic Conference Schools – Listing of all NIL Collectives & Revenue by School NIL-NCAA.COM I'm suspicious of how ECU is shown in the lead and how they may be compensating its players.
  14. Since we are playing this year in Boca, maybe we can get Syracuse to sub in for FAU. I'd trade an Owl for a squeezed Orange any time.
  15. @panchosanchez99 This is why I think they will go undefeated, but we need your magic in making it really happen Someday, someone will explain to me in simple terms even I can understand how this scientific good joo joo works. But hey, I'm all for it. 10-3. Go Bulls!
  16. There's friends, and then there's friends with benefits. Let's just hope it's the fans who reap the benefits this time.
  17. After back-to-back huge wins in the Boca Bowl and USF Spring Game, and our dominating championship in men's basketball, we're a shoo-in to any conference of our choosing.
  18. Very cool. But I am hoping this is just the first of many shining moments. Go Bulls!
  19. I left my heart (almost literally) in Austin circa 2021. Haven't been able to summon Bulls baseball enthusiasm since.
  20. Lets not throw stones, the American did not fare well either. Only because they didn't select the Regular Season Champion Bulls. The SEC, Big 12 and every other conference and team were clearly waaayyy overrated!
  21. I would expect anyone with his height an talent to test the waters and see if there is the fabled "Bigger Better Deal" available. I wish him the best no matter what he chooses to do. NOW STAY! Go Bulls!
  22. Said no one... I'm going to print one out on my 1-D Epson printer once I find 7'+ sheet of paper.
