    We need to win the conference and see how far we get in the tournament. We are really good fans, rooting for teams that have never actually won any championships, just have shown flashes. Sheriff, your thread positive, I clicked on it because I was happy to see it - and it's great. It then made me think how low our bar is.

    Open ended question based solely on your opinion.

    I only started following USF when the football program started. I have heard you guys wax poetic over the years so I would love to hear your take now.

    Do we have any interest in being in the Pac X? If UCONN and USF join we are both prior BCS schools. Might carry some weight.

    Got it. Thanks

    What's that body of water in the background?

    I am a little old to be tailgating outside a fraternity house.

    Peabody's is great but not really what I consider a college bar. Heck I still go there something and I am 100 years old. Personally, I think UF's offcampus situation sucks as well but mainly because things are old but it is still worlds ahead of USF. FSU has a lot going on, maybe too much. I have kids at both schools and it is interesting to compare. For example, when the hurricane was coming, FSU said they would have sandwichs and ice cream (lol, whatever) available if the dining hall close. UF told my daughter and 30,000 students to head over the the publix to stock up and good luck! I am paraphrasing.

    Yea, I think it can also host concerts and also reall make the homecoming parade kick ass. We used to attend parade every year when the kids were little and it was fun but it could really be special. I honestly think, a thriving night life, OCS and a few other things could really make USF a fantastic destination school with great academics. On the light rail topic. I brought my son to visit Rutgers a couple of years ago with my son. We were staying in NYC and we took a 1 hour train ride to New Brunswick. It was a HUGE plus for my alma mater. He wound up staying in florida but it was a tough decision. If we can get a light rail to downtown and or St Pete and or the beaches and wow that would be great for USF.

    Yea, way too spread out. A light rail would be a hug benefit to the area. A USF to channelside/downtown would even make me rethink how much USF's offcampus nightlife sucks.

    I hope you guys are right. Tampa has improved but was just in St Pete for first Friday and there was a very very good ACDC cover band playing for free in jannus landing, there was another band playing on Central. The restaurants were packed.

    That would be cool I guess but I am not a fan of paying for it either. That being said, downtown St Pete is lightyears ahead of where downtown Tampa is as far as nightlife. My big problem, perhaps my only problem with USF is that its off campus situation sucks. I realize that USF is not in a college town but there is ZERO night life activities off campus. We are forcing the students to get in a car to go to the stadium or to Ybor or wherever they go. It is not a walkable university and it should be. Maybe with the new stadium the area will pick up.

    So the top 50% with an AAC schedule is not bad.

    I wonder how many people understand that comment

    + OCS
  17. MMW
    Yes that is what I was trying to say.

    A closer comparison might be UCONN but they have a much higher profile stemming from their basketball program. What should we have done differently? Hire better? Invest in facilities sooner (including OCS). Sadly, the school we should have modelled after (or beaten to the punch) was UCF. We were highly critical at the time of the moves they were making, like the bounce house. We kind of scoffed at them. We were wrong. That being said it is never too late. If we have a great year and win the AAC and have an imminent shiny new stadium we might get lucky. Three years of that success with sell out crowds works for me.
  19. MMW
    I kind of feel like we do. Not for any reason other than we never have.
  20. MMW
    We would have to beat Alabama at home to reach 11 imo.

    "It's a fun fantasy" was my inner monologue to myself.
  22. MMW
    The Big10 would benefit from having a Florida team. It wouldn't be us but it's a fun fantasy.
  23. MMW
    Or we could just enjoy the games
  24. MMW
    I watched it from the Hooters on BBD. My wife was at the game. She was an alumni, I was not at the time.
  25. MMW
    Maybe the first year or two? If I recall we sold it the Sombrero in our debut.
