Pretty articulate group of linebackers.

Thanks for all this for sure. I just watched the Bullscast clip. I'm a couple of years removed from Florida, so maybe its due to the separation. But our coaches have such southern draw and pace to their accents. Definite off-season type observation!

Been there a handful of times. Enjoyed it overall, but was never my particular cup of tea. The first time I visited D.C., I immediately loved the city. Ultimately, I ended up living there. Same thing with southern California. Just spoke to me. Never felt the same during my visits to NYC. Though I can't exactly explain why. Though I grew up in North Dakota, snowboarding, snowmobiling, and ice fishing, living on the beach now, I refuse to ever return to a cold weather climate. My area of California is so similar to Tampa, but like every detail is similar but of higher quality. Like the weather. Just as sunny as Florida, but never with the suffocating humidity. The Gulf beaches may be generally more beautiful, but ours have much easier accessibility. I've become convinced that if one is required to live in the continental U.S., has a choice of where and is single and active - well, if that person chooses about anywhere other than southern California, they are doing it wrong. Same here. See above.

Agreed.

As an Eagles fan, and someone who has briefly met Nate Allen on a few occasions (a seemingly remarkably mature kid, btw), this headline was a surprise last night. Also, as an Eagles fan, Nate Allen has been woefully disappointing. We coulda had Earl Thomas!! Lol.

Good news. Also, anyone know anything about Barr's QB in his highlight video?

Agreed. The split between the P5 and Go5 is coming. USF will be fortunate to continue to call Ray Jay home when that happens. The conference and TV money won't be there to build and sustain an IPF or OCS. I'm not prone to pessimism I don't think, yet, this future is what I am beginning to fear will be reality

I'm an Eagles fan so I guess by nature I should be opposed to Belichick. But I'll tell you what: if I am the CEO of a multi-million dollar organization, I'm taking every advantage that I know you'll let me get away with, too

Question, and this seems as convenient and relevant a thread as any to ask it: Will the four year guaranteed scholarships change the limit of players that can be on scholarship during individual seasons? Let's say hypothetically, that a school grants 25 scholarships one year and none of the athletes pan out on the field, but all remain at the school. Do they all still count against the total number of scholarship athletes permitted on the roster? I imagine they would, right?

What happened to the Dwayne Lawson hype? Or is that completely unlikely now?

Great (rationale) post! Except we can also feild a fast defense like Leavitt did and hold teams to 25 points per game and just need 27 to win most. The leavitt formula was getting guys who could run fast and jump high, things you can't teach, and teaching them feild position and schemes, and just being able to coach up some fast over looked players, leavitt built something here. All we need is a coach that can effectively teach the game, and recruit fast players. FL is overflowing with these fast guys... we were considered one of the fastest defenses in the country under leavitt with mostly 2 star talent. He taught and motivated these guys to be in the right places at the right time and to hit hard. We just need the same on offense really, some really fast players, reinforce the fundamentals, keeping the eye on the ball, and an athletic QB. I don't have much of anything substantive to add, but I want to acknowledge how much I agree with this. Because I do!

Well, clearly, fix the offense. And our best opportunity to do that, IMO, is to find a stud JUCO QB this off-season, if one exists. If we are rolling with White next year, then CWT needs to swallow his pride, spread the guys out a bit and use short plays to get our playmakers in space. It's almost cliche because it seems the cover-all solution these days, but, if our offense could look as much like Chip Kelly's as it possibly can with the given talent, we'd be on the right track. I am not hopeful either of these scenarios come to fruition next year.

To give CWT a fair shake, I think we need to see his offense operate with a capable QB. On the other hand, if he can't get one here, then that's on him as well. So, to me, the victory that CWT needs to secure his job this off-season is a recruiting win at the QB position

#BasketballSchool !

Nate Allen helped make this Thanksgiving a happy one!

Does CWT treat RBs like he does QBs? I intended to pay more attention to that today but failed. Was Mack back in during the series after his big touchdown run? Because the same QB never seems to be in during the series after every successful passing drive.

It will be for me. lol

Once Athletics discovers how to do this with their money, I'll believe they can afford to pay CWT and another head coach.

Well, the Flyers game is about to start. Though, sadly, so far this season, they have mimicked USF's performances on days they've both played

Who gives a F? He is not here To your observation: You're right. Though we are still paying him as if he was. To your question: Me. A little.

Someone on twitter (one of you, maybe) just mentioned that La Tech is destroying WKU. And CSH is about bowl-eligible.

Pretty sure I've played high school basketball in front of bigger crowds in North Dakota then the one that remains in Tampa right now.

One positive, though its not a new observation: Our freshmen RBs are really talented

I have nothing insightful to add, but I want to join the cacophony of disappointment. This is really frustrating. Not today's game specifically, but this team in general.

I don't think the commentary here can be extrapolated to the entire fan base. I think its the nature of a message board to be a repository of negativity. It's a convenient place to vent.
