For me, its off to Kane's tomorrow to swap my ticket stubs for Muvico tickets. 

His hard work and Bulls reporting will be missed.  Never lacked for news reading his tweets/articles.  Buc fans are in for a real treat.

Temple 2014.  Maybe.

After this game I think we can beat UCF. 

Not ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever

gonna happen this year.  Can only hope to get more than zero points.  That's about it.

Yup. 

Only a 0-12 season can top this, I think.

Anybody for a top 3 list, or top 5?

That's what has me scratching my head over the years.  If a QB wants out of a program to get playing time, why not USF.  Easy to see this program needs a talented QB in the worst way.  If you can hit a receiver, have a little touch, dance a little, crap, you could be a star here.  We got some decent young men here but they are not the blue chip variety this program needs.  Need to win that QB lottery some day.  I believe in miracles.

 

Just realized Jameis Winston will be in his 3rd and 4th year as a starter when we have to play them. From the looks of his play last night, we will not have a chance against them.

 

I wish we could get a high profile QB to come here with the thought that he could single handedly turn our program around.

 

 

HARD TO BELIEVE WE HAVENT RECRUITED MULTIPLE TOP QBS IN LAST 5 YEARS

 

They've tried, they've even hooked a few, but they keep running away.  Goes without saying USF needs a blue chipper that plays like a blue chipper.  I believe in miracles.  You never know.

With all the bad things that happened in this game, one thing I remember vividly:  McNeese St. just looked a lot better than USF throughout most of the game.  CWT's worst nightmare?  Maybe so.  My worst nightmare is if last nights game wasn't a fluke.  And I got a feeling it wasn't.  They just flat out dominated the Bulls and that ain't good.

Bayes, once was a Rivals 250 athlete. Has dropped off list and went from #10 ATH nationally to NR now. I have screenshots of how I must be "misremembering"

Same for Bronson.  I have 2:05 p.m. (today) screenshot showing him ranked at #19 and now he is N/A.  Maybe the N/A is temporary, I don't know.

Get into one one of the big 5 conferences.  Multiple national championships in any major sport.  OCS.  No major sanctions.  Senior discounts for seasoned ducats.

Take him and hope for the best. Pretty sure he won't be seeing any SEC defenses in the Big East. As long as the kid has cleaned up his act, you never know what he can accomplish. Just because Mike Ford was a big bust transfer RB, doesn't mean this kid will be.

I enjoyed the game when Ford played.  He seemed to score a lot and in fact (if the Bulls' stat records are correct) he is 2nd in TD/Carries ratio at about 7% only behind Otis Dixon's ratio of about 12%.  I think Ford could have played more but the team had a ton of RB's during his tenure and  the off filed issues.  Bummer.  I'd take Blakely if he could score like Ford but hoping he wouldn't give the coach as much grief.

Overall considering the short time, coach WT did a great job.  Wished we had a couple other blue chippers.  Maybe next year.

On second thought I now change my opinion from B- to a solid A. 

Why?  Well, looking at this class not from a "star" view but from a "what did they earn" view then it clear this class shines.  The school had 19 players earning all state with 9 that made first team all-state.  This compares favorably with the best classes the school has ever had, if not the best.  Also CWT said he got the players he wanted.  So all things considered, I give class a solid A and hope all those H.S. accolades can translate into W's on the field in the coming years. 

I gleaned the all-state stats from the players bio's posted on gousfbulls.com

Best film I've seen of a Bull's RB since Andre Hall, and we all know what he did.

 

Mike Ford and Darrell Scott had some of the best Highlight Tapes of any RB in HS football history.  Look how that turned out.

 

I'm not saying Tice will not be great but lets not get too carried away based on HS film.

 

How bad the kids want to work to get better, how coachable are they, and grades are all huge stepping stones from HS to D-1

I'll get carried away if I want to.  But thanks for the advice anyway.

Count is 23 ... ?

Yes to this point.

Best film I've seen of a Bull's RB since Andre Hall, and we all know what he did.

For the FIRST time since 1997 I feel as a fan I've been stabbed in the back.  F-him. Hope he breaks the other leg.  That's my 2-cents and I'm sticking to it.

I don't know if it has been noted here or elsewhere, but as of at least 12-27-2012 AW has downgraded his interest in USF from High to Med per Scout.com.

No doubt about Coach T's intentions. Quote from the broadcast at about the 7:38 mark:

HOST: "Coach, a lot of coaches when they come into a new job they'll say, it's gonna take us 3-4 years to get up to snuff, to get our recruits in there. What's your time frame for USF?"

Coach Taggart: "Ah, NOW. (laughter) Right NOW! I didn't come here to wait 2 or 3 years to try to build a football team you know, we come to tryand do it now, you know. We're recruiting and we gotta do a great job at developing our players and holding everyone accountable to go out and do what we came here to do you know, and that's to win multiple championships in a first class manner. You know, so ah, I'm not a big fan of, 'oh we're gonna take this and that long,' you know. I don't think we do our kids any justice with that attitude, you know. We want to win a championship. Those kids came here to win championships, so, why not start now, you know. So that's our intention. And I can't tell you how long it's gonna be but we intend to do it NOW."

GO BULLS!!!

...brush their teeth and comb their hair...

I'm sold. Love that Leavitt type enthusiasm. I'm in for seasoned tix for the 17th straight year! Go BULLS.

That's unbelievable, talk about something to make a pecker wilt. Geez.

I'd feel more confident with Butch Davis as a new hire. Whatever. Good luck to the foot-Bulls.
