Bob Dylan was at the Sun Dome in either late 2010 or early 2011. I went to it with my dad some time during my sophomore year.

I think age and injury history played a role.

The amount of prospects that those schools lose will shock you... This year alone Miami had 5 signees taken in the first round (including compensation round). Florida had 6 signees taken in the first 104 picks. Thats not even counting the underclassmen such as Brian Johnson and Mike Zunino that will be leaving school early due to be taken in the first round. I know there are others too, but I don't feel like going back and looking right now. So no, the fact we had a couple signees taken in the draft is not an adequate excuse, despite what some on our board may believe.

He's a smart kid.

Lol OK.

Hey we'd be a 2 seed in the non existent NIT. Time to pop some bottles!!!! http://sebaseball.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1370631

Realistically, every year is difficult, but we should be making it regularly, not going on decade droughts. Exactly. I'd be thrilled to make it as often as teams like Stetson, JU, and FAU.

Longest NCAA drought in the state of Florida besides Florida A&M , UNF and FGCU. FGCU would have been an at large in 2010 but were not eligible for NCAA postseason due to reclassifying rules (moving up to d1). UNF also has only been d1 since 2005. Every other school in the state has been at least once in the past 3 seasons. We have not been in 10. Date of last regional appearance... Florida State: 2012 Florida: 2012 Miami: 2012 UCF: 2012 Bethune Cookman: 2012 Stetson: 2011 Jacksonville: 2011 FAU: 2010 FIU: 2010

Great pitching match up, but I'm not confident when it comes to our bats. They have the #9 team batting average in the nation, while we have the #131 ranked team batting average...Let's hope they can get hot at the right time. It'll be Tough against Ricketts though.

Just win, baby!

How many sat through the rain delay? I wish I could've made it out to Clearwater this week .

I really hate everything about our baseball program at this point besides that beautiful stadium. And I'm a "baseball guy" first and foremost so it hurts to say that.

He graduated before last basketball season even started. And I'd be shocked if he couldn't play overseas somewhere. That is, if he has the desire to do so.

Probably wouldn't have hosted, IMO.

We really need to close it out in game 1. Don't want to go to an elimination game on their home turf.

Hell no he doesn't. He hasn't for a couple years now. Forget competing against UF,fsu, and um, the major justification to get him out of her lies right up i4. Ucf is top 15 in the nation, and is playing rice today for the Cusa (#5conference) regular season title and a potential regional host spot. Meanwhile we're in the #13 conference trying to avoid getting swept by a team who is 150 in the rpi. Ucf is going to win this conference almost every year in baseball at this rate. And with teams like Houston coming in (solid history) it doesn't get any easier for our bulls. And outrunner every one loses recruits to the MLB...that can't even be factored in at all.

I believe the question was about softball. Obviously when you were a student you were one of those "pathetic" students out of the 45,000 that didnt go.

What's the rent on those anyway? I think he's talking about the empty lots on the corner of fowler/Bruce b downs that are designated for research park construction.

Understandable. Like I said, just curious on hearing someone else's view on it. My old roommate said the "would you call a country..." saying all the time so that's ingrained in my memory haha.

Can you explain something for me? Why do USF fraternities have such an issue with being called frats? I have friends in a few frats at USF that always correct me when I call it that. However, I have friends in frats at FSU, UF, and Alabama (places where Greek is on a whole other level) and they refer to them as Frats or don't correct me when I call it that. I brought up the USF people taking issue to being called frats and theyve just kind of laughed at it. I've heard the "country a..." stuff so don't go there. I just use it as a short cut sometimes. Like I said, I have plenty of friends in fraternities and sororities at USF, and am really just curious. No hate here.

Has anyone that's been on a tour/ in the know found out about student seating? Just curious.

The inside of the arena will be fantastic. The outside will still be a little ugly, IMO. You can only do so much to it structurally.

I went to the UCF game with some buddies yesterday....this is what I felt while watching the game: I hate Stan Heath. I hate USF marketing. I hate our lack of support. It made me sad to be jealous of UCF. I hope I'm not let down by the Sun Dome renovations, or by our "coaching decisions". It was a Saturday game at 5 pm against Old Dominion and the announced crowd was 4,000+, the student section was louder during break than ours has EVER been in my 3 years at USF. Fantastic chants. Oh, and the fans seated on the sidelines weren't 100 ******* years old, and were LOUD with their boos and getting on the refs. Doesn't matter because most of our fans would've stayed home saying "WHOS Old Dominion...they have a funny name we should win by 25". This is what 3 years of USF athletics has done to me- I don't know how some of you have survived this long. I feel like I need to run away as soon as I graduate, simply for health reasons.

I'm sure most USF fans would agree with you ... even the idiots ... but not sure why you felt the need to make that point. Because some of our fans are acting like tying a season series actually means squat. Calling a tournament appearance a moral victory? If anything WE are the ones claiming the moral victory in this thread.
