    We should have an entire toilet stall. But, a urinal at minimum.

    Not sure admin being chicken would really impact an announcement. If they're putting things together behind the scenes and there's nothing firm enough to announce yet, they kinda can't announce anything. Although, I suppose announcing that you are putting things together behind the scenes, are committed to an OCS, and want it by x year would be a huge step. And would make pro-OCS fans happy.

    I sure hope so. It'll soften the (impending) Houston game loss, make it nice and easy for the B12 to announce later this month that they're taking us and, most, importantly, it'll make me pretty happy!

    10-15k attendance and we will lose by at least 2 TDs.

    Hey, announcement's coming Homecoming week
  6. widerberg
    You gotta be kidding me. Wow. Cheated and still sucked. Just wow.

    Go Bulls!

    This would make me very happy.

    Well (straightening out my tinfoil hat), Homecoming is in November. So . . . if we announce OCS plans at Homecoming and B12 wanted a commitment/OCS, then that'll open the doors for them to extend an invite later that month. By the time we start playing in the B12, the OCS will be a year or two out from completion.

    No. Divisions would need to be geographic as much as possible to save on travel for not just football but all other sports.

    From these guys' mouths to god's ear. I don't know where they're getting their info, but if true then this makes my day. I can't imagine USF wouldn't sign because we're not ready, but maybe that's a polite way of saying the B12 wanted that OCS. Who knows. Let's just make it happen!

    I'm sure the probability is hovering around 100% on that. If we do actually get an OCS, I'm sure it'll be closer to beer budget than champagne, so there's guaranteed to be a faction that reminds us that it's a waste of money, it's not as posh as RayJay so we won't get good donors or recruits, it doesn't have Lazyboy recliners, whatever. I guess it's human nature. Hopefully, though, the thing won't move around and maybe it'll have a few water fountains so we won't have to argue about those things.

    Then let's save a bunch of money and just fold the football program. Since you say everything we all want can be accomplished by just going to basketball games on campus, what the heck do we need football for at all?
  15. widerberg
    I think you might be confusing "need" meaning we'd really like one for all of the reasons proponents have already listed and the literal "need" meaning that USF football will actually cease to exist without one. You seem smart enough to tell the difference between the two. Clearly, nobody is saying the world will come to an end without an OCS. But, we see exactly how far we've gotten without an OCS and playing in RJS. Whether relegation has come because we play in a red pro stadium, because we lose a lot, because casual fans will never accept USF, because of inept administrator, terrible luck, who knows. To me our slide and some way out of it is a totally different issue than wanting an OCS.

    I ran out of reactions, so I just want to say that I totally agree. For many of us (most of us?) alumni, campus is full of memories and there's a lot of emotion tied to it. Watching our school play football there, on campus, would be something really, really special. Taking my kids to WBB and MBB games over the years, I've been able to point out buildings I had courses in, tell stories of my time at USF in the actual places those stories happened, etc. That goes way beyond just showing up to watch 3 hours of football someplace.

    Tampa has been a very weird sports town until fairly recently. And USF hasn't gotten much respect locally, well, ever. It might be something that my kids or my kids' kids will have to correct. Until enough people age into being USF football fans based on going to games as a kid with their parents or grandparents and hearing about the Bulls all their lives, I don't know what we do except just keep playing and trying to win. I don't know that playing a couple of marquee games each year will really move the needle that much anyway, in terms of fanbase, unless we consistently win. At the end of the day, we're stuck dealing with what we've got.

    There's still a chance that we go to the B12 or somewhere better than the AAC, so that would solve the problem. On the other side of that coin is that if expansion keeps going and we end up with a P4 of superconferences that may or may not start their own league outside the NCAA, we're out anyway and none of this will matter. As a couple of others have said, I'm here to watch USF play football. If I'm here for USF, it doesn't really even matter who we play. Would I rather watch us play Alabama than Albany? Yeah, of course. But, it won't keep me from watching.
  19. widerberg
    Why would it be over? We played what were then the equivalent of P5 teams even before we got into the BE.

    Don't say the "i" word!

    Go Bulls!

    The UConn Huskies and the USF Bulls have scheduled a home-and-home football series for the 2023 and 2028 seasons, FBSchedules.com has learned. A copy of the contract for games with the University of South Florida was obtained from the University of Connecticut via a state Freedom of Information Act request. The contract was executed on May 25, 2021. From UConn, USF schedule home-and-home football series for 2023, 2028 The UConn Huskies and the USF Bulls have scheduled a home-and-home football series for the 2023 and 2028 seasons. If the contract was executed back in May, why no announcement? And an FOIA request uncovers it. Weird.

    It's rough remembering where we were and what's happened since.
  24. widerberg
    Because we're not an NFL team?

    The bones are good. You can skin the outer walls with all sorts of stuff, frosted glass paneling, etc. and you can design the heck out of the grounds around the stadium. We're on a budget here, but the design can roll in the brand all over the place.
