It probably has to do with how competitive NAVY is in the Big East and whether their recruiting improves as a result. Army wasn't very competitive in C-USA. This. And of the three academies, Army has had the most problems fielding a competitive team. Because Army has the most stringent rules on its Cadets. Airforce can go to inactive reserve to try out for NFL, Navy has something similar. Army is a strict two year policy and even then they give you hell for getting out, recruits don't want to deal with that. I think BYU is waiting to see if the NBE TV Deal would benefit them more than their current deal would, if so I think they jump. The difference isn't that much and the Naval Academy has the lower acceptance rate. Its like 8% and I think The Point is like 13%.

The Scout article on Pierre when he was signed says he is a replacement for Scott at 4.4.speed, 205 lbs.

usf has never really had a lot of talent the best in our area have always gone to other schools the lack of talent has been a problem at usf Check the NFL rosters with former Bulls players. Philly, Cleveland, Cowboys, Giants, etc.. They are on a different level at the NFL and don't employ players with a "lack of talent". AFL and other leagues have Bulls playing on their teams.

Yeah...its on the main board.

USF has always had raw talent. What its continued to lack is discipline. These kids don't think sometimes or get too excited. But this year, the overall age of the team will hopefully mean that the team executes in a more consistent manner and turn overs are reduced along with penalties. I am quietly optimistic about both Phil Steele's and Athlon's prediction.

Not a bit surprised. He had dropped USF off his top 5 on the 20th and UF was number one.

I was digging around trying to find out what happened to the notion of having a real Rocky rumble down the sidelines like Ralphy at Colorado. http://www.tampabay.com/news/humaninterest/article968493.ece Mascot was too real to prowl the sidelines at USF football games Kevin Smetana, Times Staff Writer In Print: Sunday, January 18, 2009 Facebook 0 Email Share 0 [special to the Times] The Brahman bull was to charge out of the tunnel at USF football games. He’s now 1,200-pound Suva Wolfe at Auburn University. RIVERVIEW — He was supposed to be Rocky II, a hulking Brahman bull mascot prowling the sidelines during University of South Florida football games. But then he lost his mascot-in-waiting title, his name, and his cushy life at a local ranch. Rocky II is now Suva Wolfe, tipping the scales at 1,200 pounds and living on a hilltop pasture — at Auburn University. Suva, called the pick of the litter by a local rancher, was cut before ever hitting the field. Three other bulls picked to be USF mascots weren't so lucky. They'll likely end up on someone's dinner plate, if they haven't already. Riverview rancher Robert Newsome offered to donate a bull after USF alumnus John Massaro approached him several years ago. Massaro envisioned a live bull charging out of the tunnel on game days. "I think it would've built excitement for the school to have a real, live mascot on the field," said Massaro, an owner of several local Beef O' Brady's restaurants who pushed the idea for several years. Newsome and Massaro's plan was to take a 300-pound calf and get him used to being around people. When he reached 500 pounds, the bull would hit the field like Bevo, the University of Texas' Longhorn steer, or Ralphie, the American bison at the University of Colorado. In summer 2006, USF officials were close to approving the idea. Then the discussions between Massaro and USF's athletic department dragged out, and Rocky II and his three body doubles got too big. The talks ended before the 2007 football season — the same year that USF upset 17th-ranked Auburn on the road. "I had one bull picked out four times," Massaro said, noting that several local businesses had pledged thousands of dollars in products to maintain the bull. "That was the problem — we never were able to get the approval. I was always ready with a bull in line." USF assistant athletics director Chris Freet said only that "largely due to the liability issues related to having a live bull at Raymond James Stadium, USF athletics does not have any current or future plans for a live mascot at sporting events." Still, things could be worse for 2-year-old Suva Wolfe. Of the other three dethroned, would-be mascots, two were sold as commercial cattle and one was sold at market. Suva, whose first name is derived from his bloodline, would've made the best mascot of the four because of his calm temperament and superior quality, Newsome said. So rather than sell the bull to another rancher and not know his ultimate fate, Newsome shipped Suva to Auburn, where he serves as a beef cattle breeder at the JT Vaughn Large Animal Teaching Hospital. "I think he's quite happy," said Dwight Wolfe, a professor at the teaching hospital where veterinary students get hands-on training. Suva spends most his time in a pasture with a Brangus steer that was donated to the program after suffering a broken leg. Twice a year, for about 60 days at a time, Suva performs his breeding duties in an adjacent pasture. Wolfe, from whom Suva got his last name, said the bull "would make quite a showman" and would've loved it as USF's mascot. "He's structurally sound," Wolfe said. "To put it in athlete terms, his legs and his back are straight where they should be, and he has a proper amount of muscle everywhere he should have it." He's also got a lucky streak: Unlike his three counterparts and most breeder bulls, Suva likely won't see the slaughterhouse when his breeding days are over. "He's kind of special," Wolfe said. "We'll probably let him live his life out here."

I like the new logo, but didn't really see an issue with the old one. Bring it back every now and then now that the new logo is secure in everyone's minds. Plus it would be nice for us older fans and something new for younger ones.

I hope so. I Tweeted to that Miami reporter covers FSU, thanks for revving up all the USF fans and alumni, looking so forward to 9/29.

Yes, SB Nation is just like Bleacher Report, bloggers. But Voodoo Five isn't a bad blog. http://www.voodoofive.com/

If the #1 BE team couldn't beat the #2 BE team, odds are they wouldn't have had much of a chance in the playoff. If you're not going to play all the teams in your conference, I don't have a problem with a CCG, mainly because the all the CCG's will be a like a first round of the playoffs .... until 2 undefeated SEC teams go into their CG, it's a real close game and the brainwashed knuckleheads on the selection committee think both teams should go to the playoff. After being a Bulls fan if its one thing I learned is that its that a perceived lessor team can beat a perceived better team. A #4 ranked undefeated BE team could lose on the last play of the game to a #23 BE team. That would be enough to drop it out of going to the championship playoffs even though they MAY have done well. Who thought USF would go as far as it did in the NCAA Tournament last year?

You can view recruits on a US map on Rivals, which is pretty cool to get a sense of where schools get their players. http://rivals.yahoo.com/footballrecruiting/football/recruiting/recruit-search-results Choose, View All Results On Map and you can choose school, conference, year, etc..

Wonder if this will change if VH says yes. http://www.tampabay....mmit-bulls-2013 "Whitty and Ward were told that USF only intends to take three cornerbacks in its 2013 class, which would leave one spot available for Wharton standout Vernon Hargreaves III. It's a key position for USF's next recruiting class, with starter Kayvon Webster a senior this fall and a new generation of potential starters moving in with young players like Kenneth Durden and Chris Bivins." BTW, Hargeaves tweeted on the 20th that USF is not in his top 5, but still in consideration. Wonder if sanctions at Miami will make them drop off and USF move up. http://insider.espn....i-uf-leads-list The 5-foot-11, 185-pound cornerback tweeted: "Top 5 ) 1.Florida 2.Clemson 3.Vanderbilt 4.Miami 5.Notre Dame , USF is not in my top 5 but still considering!" "Yeah my list is in order," Hargreaves said. "I like all of those schools. I guess there is no definite reason I like all of them, I guess it's just where I feel like I have an opportunity to play and have a good time. I like the coaching staffs, the facilities and the players.

It probably has to do with how competitive NAVY is in the Big East and whether their recruiting improves as a result. Army wasn't very competitive in C-USA. This. And of the three academies, Army has had the most problems fielding a competitive team.

I like UA. They are the new Nike. I'd like to see a legacy uniform added though.

I am glad he didn't get to a Miss St home game because he sounds like he is into tradition. They may not have the best SEC team, but they have a lot of traditions on game day and a group of hard core fans.

I guess somewhere in this mess is a post that the Tweet has been deleted? http://tampabay.sbnation.com/south-florida-bulls/2012/7/22/3176193/usf-ncaa-violations Maybe USF Violations, Maybe Not? +1 A report from the Miami Herald suspects that USF could be facing possible NCAA violations, but that report was soon deleted off of Twitter. Do you want major updates to this story in your Facebook News Feed? Update Miami Herald Reporter Deletes USF Violations Tweet Earlier a story was written about the possibility of University of South Florida violations based around a tweet by the Miami Herald Florida State Seminoles writer Patrik Nohe, who mentioned that he was working on something big in regards to violations at USF. Since the article based around his tweet was published, the tweet has now been deleted off of Twitter. As with most things on the internet, once it's sent out or posted, it's there forever as evidenced by the screen grab above. It's possible Nohe wasn't supposed to reveal anything on the subject he was working on just yet, but the toothpaste is out of the container. For more on the , make sure to check out .

Patrick Nohe of the Miami Herald announced via Twitter on Sunday that he is going to be in Tampa this week working on a story that involves possible violations at South Florida. Nohe has been pretty quiet about what exactly those potential violations could entail, but it is something fans of the Bulls will want to keep an eye on. The Bulls men's basketball has been in trouble with the NCAA before, as the team faced a slew of violations under Stan Heath in 2009 when a strength coach violated NCAA rules in the courting of a transfer. The football team, however, has not faced any since joining the FBS in 2001. For more on the South Florida Bulls, make sure to check out Voodoo Five. Still not enough college football for you?

Traffic mentioned was from 2003. I plan on stopping in Saturday morning to see what's left. My bad. But it seems from the reports here, it sounds like they need a cop in the store.

I cleaned it up, its from Scout. Is that when he was in HS? I don't think he was on the radar in high school because all these offers were from this year. My bad. I don't know which Nate Willis he is on Max Preps, there are two. Unless they are both him one playing football the other basketball, in Fl and UT.

No one is a fan of thieves. But many of those same people could also wear this shirt.

LOL. Just keep in mind, it always ships with bugs and two patches will be coming like for all previous versions of this generation. For a first time though, one is with a bunch of uniform fixes and updates. So some are saying they have freezing. I haven't seen it. I've played countless games, in offline dynasty where people say they are having issues and I have none that are major so far. Another thing I do, when I am not wizzing through the weeks in the dynasty is stop off and visit my pals at UCF and make sure they have a loss for the week. LOL You can look at the credits and I counted 3 dozen people who worked on the game with UCF logos by their name. There were a few Bulls too, but a ton of UCF as expected.

I cooled down my week without family play style and am now down at #7 on the Season Showdown list of all PS3 players, lol. I have USF ranked #2 going into the Syracuse game in my offline dynasty after beating a #7 FSU and a ton of upsets. #2....sound familiar? BTW, when you play the Auburn game, they show their golden eagle flying in the stadium. Louisville has the coolest Big East Intro, their mascot parachutes in! They brought that code over from the Battlefield series and applied it to certain teams.

Or have your life ruined. Clay Matthews was a walk on and if he something like this and was just kicked out of school, he'd probably be digging ditches today. Correction: Ruin you own life. What criminal offense(s) did Clay Mathew commit? Flew over your head did it? My point is that walk ons can go on to be NFL greats, not that Clay Mathews has done anything. So many on here act like they have never committed any criminal offense (smoke pot, drive after 1 too many beers, cheat on their taxes, speed, etc) in their entire life, which I truly don't believe at all, much less at age 20 and are so harsh without knowing the entire situation or the person involved. I hope he walks on at UCF and wins the Heisman trophy. Then you all would be kicking yourselves for decades over that decision.

That is from the clear shield on that helmet OK, I now see the UA logo and how its a tab for the visor. But that underlying design appears to be the same pattern as on the WW helmet.

I only put up the past decade of Heisman. Corso came up with the "Speed State" but other states have players just as fast or faster. Florida has a huge population, much of it recently (past 40 years) transplanted from other states. DC/Maryland is another hotbed of football talent. Torrey Smith, Shawne Merriman, Vernon Davis, Darrius Heyward-Bey all from Maryland and extremely fast.
