Bud, been trying to tell you that for weeks. There are so many other things to worry about. Things that really matter. Life's too short for all the angst over something like this. Get a strangle hold on the suck and hang on for dear life.

Last I heard UNC, Duke, Virginia, and Wake Forest are voting against UofL at the moment. One of those swings to Louisville, I think they are in. BC is still leading a group trying to block UConn. Also heard that word is UNC and UVa will bolt at the first offer, probably the Big Ten, if UofL comes in.

Yeah, but Jennifer won't be in the news speaking in tongues, handling snakes, and blaming the losses on those heathen devil worshipers.

That can't be right. What do those guys know about it?

We could have fired Skip weeks ago and we wouldn't have had any better of a shot at someone like Stoops ... I'm kind of surprised Stoops is going there where the potential for success doesn't seem quite as good as other openings ..... maybe he was looking for the challenge. Or to display his skills at a school not expected to be good, instead of failing like his brother did at Arizona, where expectations are a bit higher. If Mark goes 4-4 in the SEC East at UK and he'll be on everybody's short list the next season.

Why am I not surprised by that reaction?

Just proves that Doug is not the only AD using hallucinogens.

Senior night. Last tailgate of the season. Win, lose, or draw, always a sad time for me when the clock hits 0:00.

Takes post padding to a whole new level, doesn't it? Everyone has become smazza!! Steve, you must be proud.

Would love to join you, but are going straight to Nippert from here, Hamilton. Want to get decent parking and drag out the turkey salad sandwiches. From experience, I want to get in the stadium by no later than 6:15. It's hell getting around that place to the handicapped seating, and the HC seating is first come first serve. Sucks, but it is what it is.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is ******* cold out there and it's still in the 40s. That wind is nippy as hell. Guess I need to change into something other than shorts. GOLD!!!!!

Just remember when somebody teases you about being cold, remind them that it will be 80 when you step off the plane at home tomorrow.

GOLD

Don't worry, I've got mine. However, I forgot my USF flask. That's worse. Gotta have that schnapps and Baileys for the coco and coffee.

And this site has helped create friendships. Go BULLS !!! That is for sure.

I feel like Bull-By-Marriage, when he's standing at the top of 115 screaming DEFENSE all by himself. GOLD!!! GOLD!!! GOLD!!! GOLD!!! GOLD!!! GOLD!!! GOLD!!! Like the echo effect??

Me three. I've already talked to my rep about upgrading next year. In fact, I've already flagged the seats I want incase they open up.

Screw all this depression. It's GAMEDAY Goddamit!!! GREEN

Actually it will be more like a green Santa.

Sunny and breezy here at the moment. 44 degrees on the thermometer outside. Looks like the band of showers went through last night. The breeze is supposed to pick up after noon and be gusting around 20 mph at game time. It's got a bite to it right now. Temp is expected to be in the mid 30's by 7 pm. If you guys see a green "Nanook of the North" guiding a rolling sled around the stadium with another heavy bundled green person in it, that's me and Mrs. S.

I can't top that. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!

Rain supposed to be gone by noon, but game time temp to be in the mid 30's. Still plan on being at the stadium at 5. Probably will only have sandwiches, chips, coffee, and beer, instead of anything hot.

We're here. Rain expected Friday. Other than that, pretty mild weather considering what we expected.

You're wasting your time. I tried telling them that too. Please elaborate. Are you aware of another qb that USF is secretly or not so secretly recruiting? If so, please share. Simple search on Rivals.

+1. Gotta attack the ball of the glass. -2 Uptempo is more then just pushing the ball after rebounds. True uptempo actually starts with defense. When you had the speed advantage drastically in your favor last night that screams getting out and pressuring the ball. It doesn't have to be insane traps all over the place, but extending your defense to force the action. USF did that 1 time last night and got a steal that led to an and 1. Also playing uptempo gets guys like Victor Rudd, Brock, and Hawkins going on the offensive end by speeding them up. I know it works because Stan has done that before and admitted that was the reason. You can overcome the rebound disadvantage by forcing the other team into making more mistakes. Once again a known fact. Very true ... and after watching all 3 games this weekend they do push when they have a legit chance. Problem they had yesterday, and to a smaller degree against UCF, they had open shots/lay ups that just wouldn't fall at key points in the game. I have last night's game recorded. IF you do as well then go back and watch it again. All you would need is 1 hand with some fingers missing to count the times they actually got into real transition when they got the rebound. Either the PF would hold the ball to long allowing WMU to get down court to set up, or 4 guys would sprint down the court but the PG would casually jog to the offensive end. Once again allowing WMU to set up on defense. You are absolutely correct, Vega. Also, I noticed that they take a lot of shots without anyone below the rim to possibly grab the offensive rebound and they don't follow their shots very well. I know we are getting out muscled on the post, but some of the fundamentals of rebounding aren't being used consistently either. When you insist in running a perimeter offense, with no real size in the 4 and/or 5 position, that is what happens.
