  1. Guess I made the photos too small. Will try to make them larger but keep the file sizes small enough to upload. I guess if you click on the image it makes it the right size?
  2. Hopefully these show up. Waited a couple of weeks before putting the Fathead on new paint. They recommended a month but couldn't wait that long. And even though they said not to put it on a textured wall well, again, I tried the small one first and it looked OK. You can see the ridges from the orange peel finish a bit, but doesn't ruin the overall effect. Still need to get up shelving to put the memorabilia on, but I'm liking it. The paint colors look better in person than the photos. This a bat we received at the dedication of the baseball stadium (along with my Hole in One ball) The big fathead with some signed stuff that has to go on shelves The one green wall with a smaller fathead (they give you 4 or 5 smaller ones on the sheet along with the large one)
  3. Isin't it a little scary though that we are having trouble snagging the talent right here in our backyard? Good pick up here though. Hopefully the drought is over and we p/u more commits The schools around his area are wondering the same thing. It happens all the time.
  4. When I picked out mine, I went with the standard. The other jacket was "better" but I thought the green wasn't quite as nice as the standard. Looked closer to USF green in my opinion. Pretty much only wear it to USF events.
  5. And even if you are registered that da#% app doesn't work for me. Keeps telling me my trial period is up. Tried calling BH and ESPN and can't get it straightened out.
  6. Don't we lose Barbosa and Stultz next year? Don't see anyone on the horizon to replace those guys unless a stud frosh comes in. Next year will prolly be not as good as this year. The position players may end up being better, but hard to replace those 2 pitchers.
  7. So I ask again. What's up with Barbosa? Is he hurt?
  8. That was some great pitching on both sides. That pitcher from Hofstra was just unbelievable. 340+ pitches in 24 hours. Ours were just a bit better. Great day for USF.
  9. Great win. Caught the last couple of innings on the BE link. I take back what I said about USF teams not coming up big in big spots. 2 wins today by both men's and women's teams. Wow. Just a great day for USF sports. Will be wonderful if the men can get by the Johnnies tomorrow.
  10. Is something wrong with Barbosa? I thought he would have pitched one of the games today? Have to admit we have been watching (either in person last night or tv today) softball and only been catching scores on baseball. Finally at home and saw that Stultz pitched game one and Gonzo going in the second game.
  11. I hope you are right, but it seems the people behind me sell their tickets any time there is a team that draws even reasonably well. I would bet my left nut that I'll have 'noles fans directly behind me that day/night.
  12. We really do come up small in big games, don't we? Tried watching but the feed just stopped for a minute at a time (at least seemed that way). Gave up in the 6th. From reading about the game I didn't miss much. On a good note, there does seem to be some talent among our freshmen. But losing Barbosa and Stultz, I just don't see where the pitching will come from next year.
  13. Absolutely horrible feed, but it at least lets you keep up with the score.
  14. Tried to send you a message from here and it said that theman123 couldn't receive any new messages. Really don't want to put my cell on here. I may just wait until tomorrow night and hope my wife is feeling better.
  15. June 14th for us. Was told we were 117th to choose. So there are priority members not interested in basketball as we are in the mid 200's for points. First time the priority points have had real meaning for us.
  16. What time do you plan on getting there? Thinking about 7:30.
  17. Using Groupon I bought 2 tix for $8. The Mrs is battling a bug so if anyone is interested in meeting at the game, you can get a ticket from me. A donation of $4 would be nice, but I'm not gonna sweat it.
  18. Only got to see them twice this year but very happy for them. A very gritty team. Only an outside chance we'll get to see them next weekend. That is disappointing.
  19. That means getting home around midnight. Just freaking wonderful.
  20. I've heard conflicting things about Lelo's recruiting. Heard from an area scout/agent that he never sees Lelo while he runs into coaches from UCF all the time. But someone close to him says he's rarely home because he is out recruiting. I'd be willing to bet he's here for at least one more year. Like Greg said, he just signed an extension. That alone should help recruiting. With having a former pro pitching coach on the staff, you would thing bringing pitchers in would be a breeze.
  21. We're planning on being there. Not sure which time I prefer. Coming from Wesley Chapel traffic would prolly be worse trying to get there anywhere near 5:00. Will not be able to make weekend games since the grandson's first birthday will be a 2 day event.
  22. If things stand as above and we play UConn, at least we have recently beaten them. Just seems like no USF team wins a game that the absolutely must win. Maybe these aren't really MUST win games since they are in the tourney. I know there was the play in game for mens round ball. And the soccer team made it to the elite 8. And the girls softball team isn't done yet. Maybe it just seems worse after losing 2 that we shoulda won.
  23. I like the way you think. Do you have any idea if these fatheads are "reusable", ie. once you put it up can it be taken down and reapplied? Thanks. Yuppers. http://www.fathead.com/faq/ They've got something called a street grip now, that's designed for concrete/ asphalt. It's permanent, but might do what you want. They also do foam-backed heads - if you ask them, they might do a foam backed Didn't see USF being available for the street grip. Looked through all the categories and the iconic U was the only USF gear that I found on their site. That's why I said call asn ask - I think they can do just about anythign as a custom quote. Well, if only I paid attention to what I was reading. Must be the paint fumes. The green wall got done yesterday and the gold walls are drying around me. Really look great as they dry. Pix or it didn't happen!!!!!!! You are assuming I know how to put a picture up on this new site. Notice the scoreboard by my name? I haven't been able to figure out how to put my pic of the ND game scoreboard up. Not sure how the colors would show up in a photo. Got the paint at home depot. Glidden supposedly has the "official colors" available. They may not be perfect but they are looking good.
  24. So instead of mounting it to the plywood you are suggesting the thicker styrofoam. Will the fathead adhere to that?
