Safe to say that I, and many others, totally disagree; however, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I'm pretty sure the Aggies have better games. -- Tracy Morgan, independent guy

Since they are all going to be pros anyhow I expect we'll see more free agency signings and, before long, late-season trades.

I don't think we could get a game with them on EA College Football.

I guess this must be what some are thinking but I think that is misguided. We aren't Notre Dame. As for comparing our 2021 schedule to New Mexico State's, while I don't think ours is anything to crow about, I also don't think it even a close call that ours is better theirs. I have read where some pundits have rated NMSU last in SOS.

I would add BYU to the relatively successful independents. But to be a successful independent it appears you need a pretty good backstop and built-in fan base, e.g.: Notre Dame -- Catholicism BYU -- Mormonism Army -- Americanism (other than the Navy, that is).

Assuming the world doesn't end and I'm still kickin', I got a room within staggering distance of the stadium. I figured I would need it regardless of the outcome.

Congrats to the women footballers. Hope all our men follow their example.

Thanks, this sounds like fun. The Hickory Bulls branch hopes to make it and look forward to seeing everyone. If you see what appears to be a USF Fathead moving through the crowd, don't be alarmed, it's just me.

Was watching bits of the Jets vs. Giants game replay last night. Do we still claim Mike White? He was a little up and down but showed some bright moments. Still remember going to his Bulls breakout game in Houston. Really thought we had something in him but that we wasted the opportunity. Hope he does well.

From what I saw of that game RA seemed to be developing a good connection with Justin Fields. That should bode very well for him. JF looks like he may already be ready to take over for Da Bears.

That bites. Hate to see that anytime but particularly in preseason.

Raleigh enacts a mask mandate to stop COVID spread | Raleigh News & Observer (newsobserver.com) Mask mandates and restrictions are picking up momentum. If you are coming from Florida, if past experience is any indication, by the time you get here you won't be allowed to be here.

Didn't see if anyone posted this but I thought this was an interesting and somewhat surprising take on Tokyo Olympics from Ken Eriksen. Once again raises the question of the proper balance in how society prioritizes major athletic competition. https://www.tampabay.com/sports/bulls/2021/08/13/usfs-ken-eriksen-i-question-whether-olympics-shouldve-been-staged/

You hanging' out in locker rooms again Rick?

All part of ESPN and Aresco's evil plan!

A key interception and fumble recovery in Winnipeg Blue Bombers win over Argos last night. Good job for the former Bull.

This question reminds me of the student-made parody film that was circulating when I started called Welcome to USF. Narrator: "How do I get accepted at USF? Take the I-75 exit at Fowler. You're accepted!" I had applied and planned to go to Alabama. My soon-to-be first ex-wife begged me not to go. Without applying, my best friend from high school and I showed up at USF class registration with my transcripts. And they replied something along the lines of: "If you can find some open classes, welcome aboard future donor." As a further trip down memory lane, my buddy and I moved into an 8x22-foot travel trailer we parked in a mobile home park near Florida and Fletcher. We split $45 a month in rent and about $75 a month in food and utilities. In those days we were on the quarter system at USF and I believe I never paid more for tuition than I did for books. From odd jobs I had saved the whopping sum of $7,000.00 as a college fund when I started. I worked my way through school with jobs as a haberdasher and newspaper reporter and when I graduated my college fund was about $7,500.00. Good times!

If we can keep someone upright who can throw it more to our guys than their guys I will be happy.

The Chanticleer is a proud and fierce rooster who dominates the barnyard. (I still think this whole thread is just an example of **** envy!)

Congratulations! Sometimes all it takes is a little nudge. I was the youngest of 8 children and the first to graduate from college. Once my siblings saw that even their idjit baby brother could do it, they all went and got their degrees.
