I see a design flaw there. Sure, you're pretty protected from stuff flying around, but sometimes the poop tends to get pretty deep here. I'd suggest some waders to pair with that for that total protection.

I wouldn't think we'd need a purpose-built LAX stadium, but the two articles I read (the previous one I posted and the Oracle one below) both say basically "Corbett Stadium until plans are made for an on-campus stadium for the team." OCS "for the team" doesn't exactly sound like they'll be playing at the football stadium. But, I sure hope that's the case. We definitely don't need to be splitting funding between two different stadiums. We need all the money going to the football OCS. I'm hoping it's a dual-use ruse to get funding, like Brad and MaltLiquorBull mentioned.

Ain't nobody got time for 4 dimensional chess or whatever USF is trying to pull off. We just need that (Football) OCS! We should be getting that B12 invite within the next 15 days, apparently. So, at least there's that. Maybe the lack of a women's LAX stadium is actually what was holding us up.

This is the one from Michigan. Built is 2017, apparently. Seats 2000. I'm pretty sure if USF is going all in on LAX (why?), then they'll build something like this or a cheaper version of it. Playing women's LAX in a 25-30k football OCS would look terrible. Kinda like us playing at RayJay right now. Friends and family of the players, the coaches, and a couple of homeless people who got confused and wandered in would be the crowd we'd pull.

Hmm. This article says they'll play in Corbett Stadium with future plans to move to "an" on-campus stadium. Pretty vague. Not "the" on-campus stadium, not "on-campus stadium shared with football." So, yeah, I dunno. False positive on this one, maybe.

I feel good about beating Tulane. UCF, as emotional as I would think that game would be to the players, I just don't have a comfort level that it'll come together. We've been getting better and better as a team, but there's just something about that game that worries me. As much as we'd like to beat them, I'm sure they don't want to get beat by us. With both teams playing hard, I'm just not sure we've got it. I hope we do, though.

Some schools have dynasty periods of winning. USF has mastered the dynasty period of losing in almost every sport. It's heartbreaking. But, there's always next year.

What a cutie.

I hope so. She deserves to play and can contribute anywhere. Either of those cities has a worrying amount of off-court distractions, though. Hopefully, she learned from the food truck fiasco.

So, you're saying we're in the top 10-15%? We're elite? Hell yeah!

Pouring some out for Winter. RIP Winter!

She was always very sweet to my kids and I. Anyone know if she got picked up by another WNBA team or if she's going to play overseas again? I hope she lands somewhere and has great success.

And that's supposed to come by end of November according to some source or other (can't keep track of who anymore).

This is true. Can't argue with that.

To be fair, the food truck was parked slightly off the street.

Thanks as always, Python!

Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

For me, it could be that USF up until pretty recently was thought of as a commuter school. When Betty Castor became Pres, she started making campus look a bit less like a prison from the 1950s, and with that we eventually got new dorms, a Greek row, parking garage, and some pretty major beautification to the grounds. To me, USF has changed a huge amount, and shook the commuter label, but maybe that old perception is still there? That we're not a "real" school with culture and traditions and campus life, etc. And so there's just not that emotional connection with the community, alums, etc. Or maybe the Tampa area is just not interested in a local university no matter what we do and students run away screaming once they get their degrees, never to look back again? It's a really interesting and weird problem to me. I have no answer.
