  1. I have gotten so perturbed this year with ESPN calling us UCF. So I called them after hearing it again at halftime and during the highlights after our bowl game and the highlights played during the other games. I forgot the guy’s name. It was not Joey Galloway or Jesse Palmer. I asked politely that he be informed of his mistake and if they could correct the highlights narrative. I was told that it would be passed on but not guaranteed that the highlights narrative will be corrected. But at least they know it was noticed.
  2. What I find amazing is that CCS never once even inferred that part of the problem was poor coaching and poor clock management on the last major drive. He threw his players under the bus.
  3. Yes he does need to go. The O line seems to get worse each game by not protecting QF and hardly no holes for the backs to run through. He hasn't taught the running backs that if there is not a hole to go around the pile instead of just running into it. If he'd watch other FBS games he could see what a wide variety of plays that other teams use and add some of them to the 6 plays in his play book. That is for starters. Then there is personnel usage or lack thereof. When has there been a designed play where the tight end blocks then releases and is passed to. As well as draws, screens, flea flickers, etc. He didn't have success at Texas with this type of plays and play calling, what makes you think it will be different here. He knew what worked for us last year so why not stick with it. It's the same offensive unit just minus 2 players. And this is just scratching the surface. Time management is just to long to get into now. Where is the CCS wide open offense from Louisville?
  4. My thoughts: Poor coaching in all 3 areas. Poor play calling on offense. Poor offensive coaching, ex. If running back is to go up middle but no hole, then he should go to outside. No killer instinct, say like Bama. We seem now to be playing to the level of our opponents instead of what we are capable of. Where is the offense that Strong ran when he was at Louisville. That was wide open, not this conservative crap. I'll take heat for this but Flowers is a heck of an athlete but a fair and inconsistent QB. If not for his running ability, he'd never be the starter. Tulane was a poor win and we deserve to drop in the rankings. At this point the way we're playing, we'll be beat by at least Houston and as much as I hate to say it, UCF. And Navy is another possibility. Something has to change quick if we're going to win the conference championship as predicted. That means better coaching overall and better execution on the field and a different mindset in the players to not give up or let up until the final buzzer sounds.
  5. "Sounded" is the key word. I don't have a problem with someone bettering themselves. Sincere is a whole different issue. How sincere and thankful was he to his players and coaching staff that they had to hear he was leaving on the local news instead of by him face to face? How sincere and thankful was he when, before meeting with our team and his staff, he had already placed calls to all the top rated recruits that were to come to USF to try and convince them to follow him to Oregon? Sorry but to me he was thinking of nobody but himself and showed his (and our) team, his staff, and us loyal USF fans just how INSINCERE he really is by his actions. His words mean nothing. His actions speak volumes. Having been a season ticket holder since 2001, I've paid my dues and only missed 2 games in that time. I've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. I was at all the firsts at Florida, FSU, Auburn, and Miami along with most bowl games. So I have the right to express my opinion, whether anyone agrees with me or not. Good riddance Willie and now we can take his knife out of our backs and get back to playing and winning our bowl game.
  6. You got to be kidding! The players and coaching staff found out CWT was leaving by hearing it on the news this AM. That should tell you that he was thinking of nobody but himself and never gave it a second thought. He apparently was forced to call a meeting at 1:30 PM to talk with the team and staff. That was a "no class move" Willie. Bye Bye.
  7. I agree whole heartedly. In the number of times I saw him in person at different functions, he never convinced me he was 100% in with and for USF. He said what was expected but his attitude was not the exuberance that Leavitt's had. You all can hate me if you want, but this is how I feel. I read the board a lot but very seldom post, and with this new like and dislike crap, I'll probably post less. I make no apologies for what I believe. Sorry we don't agree on this one BDYZR.
  8. And yes, it is a shame, after 4 years, that CWT doesn't know the correct name and spelling of the person's name the building his office is in was named after. I'm disappointed to say the least, that he would not know that.
  9. Hope your mis-spelling was a typo? If it wasn't for Selmon's vision, USF may never have had a football team. Therefore I support the idea of a statue. Good idea.
  10. I would not fire CWT, since he is a good recruiter, but his coaching and especially play calling skills leave a lot to be desired. The skill of most of his players make him look good in spite of himself. I am surprised there wasn't a news flash shortly after that post of his, that he broke his arm patting himself on the back. To me, his post seemed like nothing more than him saying, look at me and how good I am. The only class act in this thread is Lee Roy Selmon. The jury is still out on CWT.
  11. If we come out to make up for today's loss, we should win. Cincy is tied 10 - 10 at close to half against Miami of Ohio. Not impressed with Cincy so far. They are beatable. Should be a good trip for you Bourbon.
  12. I won't lie. I wasn't sure about Cuse the way they played FSU. Wasn't sure what was going to happen so I started with the hard stuff. By the time it was 17-0 my bourbon was going down as fast as I thought USF was. Thankfully we started scoring or I may have drank myself into a stupor.
  13. Agreed. Since AW has never took a live game day snap after 2 years, and after QF's performance this year, the logical choice is Flowers. He's got a lot of improving to do but we know what he can do in a game situation. We have no idea what the others can do yet.
  14. "It is better to be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt" - Abraham Lincoln. Are you part of CWT's staff and were you there first hand to hear his comments about not wanting to start White, who by the way touted White's praises and ability as to how much he was going to help the team before he even graduated HS? Do you know Bench personally and did you hear him tell you or someone else that he was not given a fair chance at the QB position and therefore a victim? Have you compared the total actual game playing time of all the QB's the first and second seasons that CWT and Bench were here to see exactly how much playing time each had each year? Did in fact Bench get equal playing time compared to White and Flowers to get to prove himself? If you have facts or hard evidence, give them to us, and not just your opinion. Why can't you either just wish Bench well in his endeavor or as the saying goes, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all". I wish him well in all that he does. As I said before, at least he is going to try, as opposed to not trying at all and then later wonder "what if".
