  1. Not me. I'm the first to criticize and say we are overhyped but stop going to extremes. I also don't think Holtz is right for us and never have but a loss to FSU doesn't signal the end of anything other than he end of the game. Teams retool all the time in college. Anything can happen year to year.
  2. And it's comments like this that makes Vegas rich and shows the extreme emotions of football fans.
  3. Nothing like a little optimism for a game that is still 10 days away
  4. I'm beginning to think they game isn't as sold out as they have as believe. Would like to know if it is officially a sell out or not. If they have tickets they should sell them because plenty of people want to go. I'm just saying when I bought my extra they gave me a choice of a ton of sections.
  5. You've got to use figures based on teams that will actually be in those respective conferences in 2014. You can't consider WVU in BE numbers but need to add Boise's. Pitt, Syracuse, UM and Va Tech's records go under the ACC. My numbers are based on that and I think I did the math right but please check. Based on your logic, your math is indeed correct. However, I dont think that is how it works lol. At least not imo. I dont believe BSU's bowl wins count for us, and I dont think Miami's count for ACC and WVU for B12. Pretty sure they are both Big East wins. I'm not talking about officially, I'm talking about perception wise. When you talk BE and ACC now, you need tobe looking at them in the current configuration. Pounding one's chest about the BE being 7-7 in BCS bowls when teams that won 4 of those bowls are no longer in the conference makes no sense. The only bling we currently have is a blue field so it's completely understandable why it's the Big 5 and not the Big 6. Ok I see your point BUT this perception was in place prior to all the movement. It isn't like this sentiment is new.
  6. You're not talking BCS bowls are you? Oh, I am sure that he was. Please arm yourself with facts sir, if you wish to enter here. Highest Winning Percentages By Conference Conference Percentage (Record) Mountain West .750 (3-1) Southeastern .696 (16-7) Western Athletic .667 (2-1) Pac-12 .611 (11-7) Big East .500 (7-7) Big Ten .480 (12-13) Big 12 .474 (9-10) Atlantic Coast .133 (2-13) Independents .000 (0-3) http://www.bcsfootba...tory?id=4819309 If you're going to arm yourself with facts, use the correct ones, please. While the Big East's winning percentage is .500, the actual record is 3-3 ... the ACC's winning percentage is .300 based on a record of 6-14. 50% compared to 30% is definitely better but hardly "destroying" .... especially when you consider that the ACC teams got into 3 times as many BCS games as the Big East teams did ... and when you factor in 2 MNC's, plus several more MNC game appearances, it doesn't take a MENSA member to see why the perception of the ACC is head and shoulders above the BE. Where are you getting your numbers from??? Your numbers are crazy off. The ACC IS 2-13 in BCS games and the Big East is 7-7. They only have played ONE more BCS game than the BE. How can you only be 3-3 when we go to a BCS game every year????
  7. True yet somehow the ACC is way better than us?? Our BCS record destroys the ACC record in those games. Not to mention what the BE does when they play them head to head. So why do we get crapped on and they don't get it nearly as bad as the BE does?
  8. I will so be there. Had that Road Trip on my calendar since we signed it years ago. It will be early in the year and optimism will be high.
  9. It's because we see the same thing every year. We don't win Big East games. The reaction is because what have they shown us to make us think this year will be any different?
  10. To follow-up the just sent me an email with instructions. I didn't get in the first sale for my extra 4 but I did now!
  11. CHECK YOR EMAIL!!!! You buy them through USF now not ticketmaster. They found out the password was comprimised. Just bought the extra 4 I needed. MAJOR KUDOS to USF for doing this and trying to serve our ticket base first. A++++
  12. Nobody is saying we are going to the OB or saying we deserve to go or that we are a top 25 team. It was SIMPLY pointing out what ONE college football expert thought. I don't think anybody started booking hotel rooms or anything. To ignore what Brad Edwards thinks is fine but those who want to - great. And to think posting it or talking about can "jinx" us is just flat out ridiculous. WE have NO CONTROL over how USF perfroms based on what we say or post.
  13. Have the Bowl Bound App. His week 3 projection has us in the Orange Bowl. I get it just win, too early, who cares, etc. just nice that he thinks as of now.... Now let's beat Rutgers and prove him right.
  14. Love it new year same topic. You can almost predict every week what it's going to be. And IF we lose Thursday we all know what threads are coming. I hope we win just so I don't have to see "those" threads. Still waiting for the "if we go 12-0" thread. You know what it probably was already out and I just missed it.
  15. Exactly what jinx busting wins has he done?? We still lose every Thursday under Holtz and we lose BE games. 5-7 last year. Don't really think he had shown he's good at things yet. Don't get me wrong I'm hoping he does this year. Just looking at things realistically.
  16. he is talking about a baby bjoun though. it is basically a strap that goes around you and the kid sits in it like a pouch. although i have never personally brought one in- i could have sworn i saw a few inside the stadium. good luck on bringing the kid. when they are that young it isn't too bad. it's more when they get to 12-24 months and don't want to sit still. Oh yeah that is fine just not the actual carrier. 2 yrs old is tough especially when they want to eat the popcorn people drop on the ground.
  17. You are fine with the bottles not an issue. The carrier is a No. We brought our son to his first game at 6 weeks old and they wouldn't let it in. They were nice and held it for us and luckily he slept on my wife most of the game. Way to start the kid young!!
