Time to start coming out on the right side of the scoreboard. If the pitching holds up, we have a chance to get it going. Five games this week. We need to get most of them and get some confidence going.

As with football and basketball, "almost" is no longer good enough and cannot be the standard for USF.  I hope they can turn it on soon.  I am rooting for this staff to stick around and be the ones who build that success.

Go Bulls!

Went to NOLA a few years ago when Q and Angie were still playing. We had a good showing at that game, and had a good time.

Definitely going to Hattiesburg. Used to be stationed at Camp Shelby, and I’m currently in a distance learning program at Southern Miss. Call me crazy, but I like the Pine Belt.

May go to FAU - since I live in east Polk County, It’s only another hour away than from my regular drive to RayJay. We went to the bowl game, but my better half wasn’t impressed by the stadium.  Maybe John can get us some good seats for that game. Have a sister that lives near Charlotte, so I may go up there also. 

While this will be a good year for traveling to road games (especially since we’re winning again), I can’t wait for the eventual road game against Army. West Point has been on this retired Army officer’s bucket list for years. 

Great time to be a Bulls fan!

Go Bulls

In spite of the wistful Jason Isbell imagery, I would take a hot day in hades over Hattiesburg.

Charlotte is in my backyard and a definite.  Rounding up the troops now. Should have a good contingent.

Nola always tempting.  Checking the temperature of my more social-minded fellow alumnae and fans.

West Point, whenever, is a must.  Bucket list kind of trip.

All that said, pretty much any football road trip can be a blast. Just enjoy the journey.

Go Bulls!

What are you going to celebrate with? Keep those deliveries coming. 

Still trying to rearrange my schedule to get there.  I am pumped but still I'm hoping this is not a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Go Bulls!

I went to my first basketball game in December 1975.  We lost to Auburn by 1 point at Curtis Hixon Hall.  Followed this team for 48 years and now I'm almost in tears.

GO BULLS!

I and my entire high school basketball team were at that one. 

Only been waiting about 52 years.  I think we are ahead of schedule.  It has been a season for the ages but hopefully this is just the beginning.  

Go Golden Brahmans/Bulls!

Charlotte is away, no?

Yes, they messed that up.

Toughest game in conference may be @Tulane a week after Miami.

Will plan to be in Charlotte with a group of USF expats in GA/Carolinas region.

Also that Tulane game may be tough but it should be a fun road trip.

The good news is that I bought my ticket but can't go.  So the jinx will still be far away.

I totally agree that CAAR should be his authentic self and praise whomever he wishes.  Just to stir the pot, my guess is that many would be questioning him if he said Praise be to Allah or our Prophet Muhammad??

This could be good for us.  Might keep him out of the SEC and Big East anyway.

Does this mean we're only going to get a new schedule every four years?

Bring him back home.  Come on Bucs.

Looks like Chiefs may be in the running for Mike Evans, so MVS coming would be a fitting (and less expensive) swap if that occurs.  Would be fun to see him scoring again in Ray Jay.

Pretty sure they all did that but it just doesn’t stand out as much because very rarely do people say “I’d like to thank G-d for our ass kicking today marking our tenth of the season”

But in all fairness they probably should.

It's weird how these people don't know you exist until they want your staff.

Beating them handily to launch our best season run ever probably got their attention.

Not good thus far.  Let's hope baseball can overcome early season woes as did FB and MBB.

Amazing! Has engineering confirmed that good ol' "Sun Dome" can withstand three sell outs in a row?

Honestly, even if we don't make to the dance... because NET ratings and Memphis just collapsing;

 

I am just incredibly happy at what has already been accomplished. 

 

Anything after the regular season, is a big bonus for me!

While I generally agree with this sentiment, I am a little more worried about Memphis actually waking up and how that may affect us if they make a late run.

Bubble Watch 2024: Brace yourself for NCAA tournament drama - ESPN

The Bulls are ranked in the AP Top 25 for the first time in program history. They're also not (currently) in Bubble Watch. Two things can be true at once.

 

I think this is sad but true.  The good news is we finally have a team that I feel confident can beat anyone in the conference.

Go Bulls!  Let's go for a clean sweep.

In this age when all these funky metrics so outweigh head-to-head performance and the eye test, the bubble watch bites.

 Now we pretty much have to win every game.

I’m talking about the premature evaluations on the CAAR hire itself, which was stupid to do after 6 games. 

Because evaluating a hire should be done before the hire?

From past coaches and relationships I have learned you may not be able to clearly evaluate until after the divorce is final.

Had my ticket and was ready for the alumni pregame and this big game but now have a family funeral to attend.

Probably just as well, given my effect at the games I have attended over the past five decades.

Go Bulls!

I think they are only bypassing him because he won the Hugh Durham Coach of the Year Award last year.  There is Amir Abdur-Rahim fatigue.

No. Plus the next game at Charlotte will be tough. Lose that and our stay won’t be long in Top 25.

Finish strong win remaining three, get to AAC Championship Game and we may have a shot if we lose a close one there.

Otherwise is winning the Tournament 

Simple solution:
