Capital H

Just clinched president trophy with 10% of the season left. 

First Tampa sports team to finish with best record in the league, according to the broadcast. Surprised Storm never did it??

Stanley Cup or bust this year boys.

Price made some noise, 3-60. 

DJ lead the team in rushing but it was a paltry total, maybe 50 yards?

Orlando finally went down losing a close game.

Great season for this team, especially compared to the raging inferno of a dumpster fire it was two seasons ago.

That being said its obvious the optimism of some on this board; predicting winning out back in Feb, and this being the best team to put on the green and gold, was a bit overstated. 

Let's hope those comments come to fruition in 2020!

Can't make Charlie happy.

Didn't he blame the Tulane debacle on the uniforms? 

As long as he is getting 10+ touches a game label him TE for all I care.

DJ was second in carries again, but ripped off a 31 yarder and finished with 49 on the ground. He also had an 18-yard punt return but did muff one. 

Much more productive catching the ball, 6-73, second on the team for both catches and yards. 

Price was targeted once. He seems to have settled in as the #2 TE and more of a run blocker. 

Haven't seen any OL stats to grade Eatmon. 

Isn't our men's hockey team pretty good?

Is this Nationwide or just FL?

I owe a co-worker lunch and wouldn't mind going cheap(er)

Looks like Orlando is still unblemished. 

DJ took a backseat in the rotation but had a two point conversion throw. 

Also looks like Price was kept out of the box score, but all over the highlights in run and pass blocking.

If this team doesn't go bowling with a SR qb, a SR rb, and most (all?) Of the online coming back then USF will be hiring a new coach for 2020

Obviously Wisconsin and BYU are upgrades over UMASS and Illini but...

Honestly not a fan of the schedule especially the first 2/3 of it. Other than drawing UCONN before the cold sets in. A very early bye week right after a glorified bye week. A tricky non-conference game sandwiched between 3 conference road games. What is likely cross division 1A or 1B right before Cent Florida.

Very little opportunity to recover from the nagging injuries. Hopefully this can be offset by not having to leave Florida in the month of November.

At the end of the day hopefully the new OC has the offense humming day 1. I'm worried about bowl eligibility if they come out of the gates 3-3 (or worse ). 5-1 or 6-0 and the NY6 dreams get started

Houston and Cinci feel like locks.

I think one of: Cent, USF, Temple, or Memphis win the tourney.

Thus, 3 bids!

All that work  

All the work of actually cooking macaroni and real cheese from scratch!

I don't understand the diss.

Regardless of the product you are purchasing from Publix (I cited an example my 5 year old would eat), there is a markup. The markup has always been positioned based on quality (that box of kraft is the same everywhere) and service.

If they are eliminating the service aspect of their niche I have no reason to shop there. I will get my boxed staples from Walmart and source meats and veggies from other grocers. Luckily outside of Florida there is more diversity in this market!

All of the newer Publix have replaced registers with self serve kiosks. They still staff a lane or two here in the CLT area but are really forcing you to scan and bag yourself.

Obviously this goes against everything Publix brand represents, which is allegedly high customer service. Its why I could ignore paying $1.99 for a box of Kraft Mac n Cheese for the kids, when at Walmart it was $0.89. If I have to do all the work on top of the inflated prices? Piss off!

 Now he's playing his last games at a bad FCS school.

What are you talking about?

UNCC is on the same level as USF. Its a Group of 5 school in Division 1 FBS.

So your hate is based on a fundamental lack of the college football landscape...interesting.

Unlike some of the haters on this board I am wishing him success. When he wins the starting job I will catch the game against FAU uptown in the Queen City.

I was already planning on heading to the App State game on the road, just another incentive to get up there.

I hope its Blake, so we get another 12 opportunities for the coverage to show his dime piece GF.

Did you know she is a model AND a pro surfer???

I really hope some of the coaches push the limits of the unique rules...and the NFL takes close notes.

With the "onside kick" being a 4th and 10, teams could really do some damage with ball control, given the right offense. Get the ball first, go down the field and score, turn right back around and give an elite QB a 35-40% chance of keeping the ball for the entire quarter.

Who is going to create the DJ thread for the Orlando Apollos game?

I've thought this for a while.  I haven't seen anything (other than on here) to contradict that.

I don't think he did. The ONLY reason I say that is there was a game (either the bowl game or vs. the Cent Fl Golden Knights) where it was clear he wanted to be aggressive and Charlie quite demonstratively said no (this was all captured by the cameras). It was whatever game where USF got the ball with about 25 second left in the half around the 30. Gilbert pulled his hat down pretty angrily. 

I get that is one snapshot of one time management decision, but my guess is Strong influenced other conservative calls as well.

Only chance he touches the field is if Milton misses next season.

Milton is not playing in 2019. He was injured in late November and recovery from a typical knee injury is 9-12 months. He basically had his knee internally severed.

IF he ever sees the field again it will be 2020 or later.

Brandon Wimbush from Notre Dame.

Here is hoping he wins the job and puts up the same numbers Blake Barnett did!

Only if there are tons of sloots on the float.

So, I never have seen the play but assume it was pretty innocuous or we would have heard different from the Kanigit fans that venture to the board ....?

It was a play you see dozens if not hundreds of times in a season. A DB went to make a cut tackle. He just happened to make contact to a planted knee, while Milton was being tackled from behind. 

There is no blame on the play. Maybe on Milton for not sliding.

All we hear about in college sports these days is the "eye test" and my long-time USF basketball fan eyes respectfully disagree. These guys more than pass the eye test for me. You are right though, lots of teams to beat on the schedule before they earn the official title of best USF team ever. For me, though, they are the best in the past 30 years and I believe they will prove me right. We'll see...

I'm guessing you missed the 09-10 season or 11-12 season where USF won 20+ games in what was widely accepted as the best basketball conference in the nation?

Not trying to take away anything from this set of kids. Can't see them getting to that "pinnacle" this year. Maybe after another season or two? Win a mid-major tourney and get into the 2nd or 16? Bars fairly low.
