UF is 'too good' to even play us.  Even back in the day, they had to be threatened by the state legislature to play FSU when they weren't yet in the top tier.  I find it hard to believe that they in favor of elevating the status of any G5 team in FL, especially one in Tampa.

Agreed. I see no reason UF would support USF moving to the Big 12. Only downsides for the Gators, especially from a recruiting standpoint. Texas and OU would gain a stronger foothold for top tier talent in the state, which is of no benefit to the Gators.

Don't forget Sweet Lou Piniella, Tony LaRussa, and Channing Tatum.

Hulk Hogan, John Gruden, Tony Dungy, Derek Jeter, **** Vitale, John Cena...the list goes on.

Our group sets up in Lot 6. Excellent tailgate scene, no doubt. Prepaid parking passes are the way to go.

Congrats to B.J. He's living his dream and he is also getting reconnected with Coach Leavitt. 

We are no lock to beat McNeese, but come one UConn. 

I am extremely excited about Fox Sports 1 and hope it develops in to some good competition for ESPN. Looking at some of the personalities associated with the new network, it has the potential.

Well, its a movement in the right direction. At least we have one now. As the season pans out and some teams in the conference make some noise, ESPN might give that blog a little more attention.

Miami ticket is just terrible. Cute idea having a kid's drawing on there, but this is just embarrassing. 

Dont know exactly how much they would get for the naming rights to a college baseball or softball stadium, but worth a shot I guess. I think baseball should stay "Red McEwen Field."

It was only a matter of time until Bill got an AD offer. Congrats to him.

Good to see. I've never understood why they built the facility so far off of alumni drive...I guess to connect it to the President's House (Where Judy doesn't live).

Good. Keep this going and make it a tradition for the program.

There is no way they can use the northeast corner dubbed "The Meadows" for an OCS due to it being a part of the eco preserve, correct?

 

Somebody post up a map. What does this do to potential OCS locations?

 

Hopefully, the location south of the Dome is still it ...

 

I like that location, and if I remember correctly, a previous master plan has 2 parking garages running north-south along Maple to make up for the lost parking by building a stadium there. Although I like the location of where the current tennis facility is because it is close to the dorms, the south of the Sun Dome is the next best thing for an OCS.

 

Agree with Doug about the excitement surrounding the program and Coach T. Also glad to hear that an OCS is seriously considered and wont be a tin box like UCF but more in line with Minnesota's' (upscale). Not sure I agree with the "more access to the Championship game" Will be awful hard to go undefeated and hope for a top 4 ranking. Glad he is looking to beef up the OOC scheduling.

Looks Like Judy and Doug are happy with the conference and will take on more of a leadership role. (Good for some things, but not good if we are looking to get out)

I got more of a vibe that the AAC is where they are for now and they want to do the best they can while they're there, but at the same time if a power 5 conference comes calling we're bolting.

 

I got the same vibe.

Other than them not being green, not that bad. Better to have a simple design. Should have been green.

Perhaps Mitchell isnt what WIllie and staff are looking for. Hopefully Bench makes the right choice and chooses USF. 

FSU fans are a joke. They walk around thumping their chest like its the mid 90's again. NOT THAT GOOD.

Excellent news. It is important for us to keep playing FSU, UF, and UM.

Could have been worse I guess. Hopefully we wont be in this for very long...

One has to wonder if the lack of privacy screens on the border fences had any effect in the previous few seasons lack of success. As stated, it was pretty easy for someone to see right through the fence, which would be easy for a "spy" to pick up plays in practice.

Ive tried biting my tongue and giving Prado some time, but this is unacceptable. Im sick of seeing UF, FSU, and UM dominate baseball in the state of Florida. It's time for a coaching change. 

Next season cant come soon enough

Two bad turnovers
