Not bad at all. I like it.

It seemed the worse thing we could do was putting them in a 3rd and long situation. They converted those almost every time. I think Tim Wright just caught another one across the middle.

Its a good thing there isn't relegation in college football otherwise we would have been banished to C-USA, or worse. Actually there is relegation in college football, only it's called realignment.

1) For those not traveling to Reno, what are your pregame and game plans? Watch Party at Capogna's. 2) Will you make a road game this season? If so, which? Depends entirely on the health of my father, but we would like to make UofL, UC, and Miami. 3) With the Big East's Week One in the books, do you feel a Bulls BE Championship is now more likely or less likely? Less likely. 4) On this 15th anniversary of Bulls Football, what is one of your earliest - or favorite - memories of the program? Earliest? Rafael Williams off right tackle to score USF's very first touchdown. Duh!! Favorite? The the sack of Christian Ponder to end the last FSU chance in 2009. What a great day! 5) Best place to visit - Tamplona or Reno de Janeiro? Tampalona for the running of the War Flamingos.

Mrs. S and I will be there, coming from Citrus Park, mugs raised.

I was frustrated at times, but I'm never bored at any game. The 3rd quarter dragged, because the refs seemed unable to make a call without a 2 minute discussion involved and/or a review. 1st game kinks. Happens every year.

I'm not a jumper, but I did readjust my expectations some.

Not me. I'd never tell a penner he should not do what he feels necessary. Need a lift to the top?

Whatever makes you feel good. Go for it.

In every big from 2006 thru 2009, one name stands out. Nate Allen.

I quit watching ESPN non-game broadcasts years ago. Unless there is a game on, that I want to see, I go elsewhere for my sports news. So they can ignore us all they want, because I ignore them.

Wonder if they'll let us make the pirate ship look like a barn on USF game day? Come on College of Engineering.

That video still gives me chills.... Best game ever. Note. You do not see a red seat one, even in the overhead shots. When RayJay is full she's beautiful. The memories of that game still give me chills. Winning fills stadiums, not their location.

I'm more that certain, Holtz's comments were based on much more than that one play in a scrimmage.

The bulls in front of the Marshall center are Hereford, which is an English Bull The artist the University contracted out to build these statues was British... this is what happens when you hire people to make USF school spirit decisions that did not get their undergrad at USF. They're not Hereford Bulls. Look at these pictures: https://www.google.c...iw=1366&bih=612 Then compare to this: It has nothing to do with where the artist was from. You look at those statues, the one on the 2nd floor of the Marshall Center, and the one inside the Athletics lobby, and they are all similar to the Spanish Bull (I shouldn't have said common bull earlier). I was going off of an article I read a while back when we had our last mascot argument... the artist that designed the statues was quoted as saying that he got his inspiration from his native Hereford bulls... I really need to start saving this shiz to save me time looking for it again... i'm pretty sure that's a bunch of, yes wait for it, BULL!!!! Bubba, I don't doubt what you were told, but we raised Herefords (as well as Angus, Limosine, Holstein, Charolais, and mixes in between) when I was a kid. Those status are not of Herefords. They are of Fighting Bulls, an Iberian breed known for being aggressive, strong, and agile. They are bred specifically for fighting. I think the artist spoke of something he knew nothing about. He created the sculptures and came up with his muse after the fact. Believe me. I'm and old county boy. I know my Bull.

1) Favorite year of USF football? 2007 2) Greatest FG in USF history? Bonani to beat Kansas in 2008. 3) Greatest play in USF history? Grothe to Mitchell against WVU in 2007. 4) Attendance guess for opener? Actual 30,137 5) If you could only have 1 meal for a year, breakfast or dinner? Dinner

Requested mine a couple of hours ago. 18-21

2009. We were sitting at the top of the bottom bowl in the visitors section. Could not see the time clock, blocked by the upper section.

I was at the WKU game. The site lines suck. I've experienced better concession stands at high school games.

Yup. Call the ticket office.

No.

Wins and conference titles bring recruits. Not OCS's. Skip, as did Leavitt, feels that RJS is a value to recruiting over a tin can OCS. They do the recruiting. I figure they know more than me. Do it right, or don't do it at all.

Here is what he said at the Bulls Rally Saturday before last, same thing as the radio interview....
