The drugs comment was for Tiger, I think...and the news today is it was abuse of prescription drugs (blew a 0 for alcohol). Likely painkillers, and the report says he was asleep at the wheel when police found him. Imagine their surprise finding Tiger passed out. Someone has a story for life.

Tiger putting Jupiter on the map again. We're not EXACTLY neighbors, but this is a big story in the area. What a struggle in many facets of this life. Hopefully he pulls it together.

I was at a Cracker Barrel in N Carolina with my brother (a local). When I ordered unsweet tea, passed on the country ham and skipped the grits, my brother joked: "You trying to get us killed, bro??"

Here comes da judge (this will fly over the under 50 club). Hope it's a misunderstanding or something not too bad. Seems like a decent guy.

When Mark passed, that was the final prod. I saw him at the Miami Bowl for the last time, and he looked tired. Still had that great sense of humor, but clearly weary of the fight...but nothing could stop him from watching first hand our first bowl game in forever. Shortly after his passing, at 50 years old, I got the colonoscopy. No real issues, but also triggered my need for an endoscopy (which revealed a few other issues, now since under control). Your brother was a bull in every sense. Tough as nails, but also such a warm, welcoming guy. One game when we met him & others before a game, he asked us where we were sitting (we had ok seats, from StubHub). He said, "Dump 'em, come sit with us!" His seats were great, and the company of Mark & his wife was even better. I'll always think fondly of Mark, especially when I see the flying Jolly Roger. Mark was an amazing fan, but an even better father, husband & friend, who left a positive impact on so many. I think of you often, Bulls brother. Rest in Peace.

Thanks for sharing here, 3B.

I always sport a USF polo when I travel via plane, and over the years, the frequency of responses and "GO BULLS!!" has increased significantly. I think our brand is growing, and I'd encourage us all to "go green" any time you can. And give those friendly shout outs and grow that buzz. Time to get us to the next level. GO BULLS!

Price? A couple (maybe a 3rd couple) & I are contemplating AirBNB, so I'm not 100% sure what we're doing.

Or Florida. Or FSU. Or Miami. Or (fill in slew of colleges).

Lots of coaches with no control...clearly.

I'd forgotten about him during the draft. He & Dalvin Cook were one of the best RB duos in a long time at Miami Central. Now, undrafted, and apparently, not sought after. Kinda related, I thought Miami Central's C/G Mike Smith would be a stud at USF, but apparently he's off the team & doing who knows what.

We really should let due process work it's way out, and I'm hoping he's not guilty of the charges...because I hate that people go thru this (perps & victims). To those saying he's gone if he did it, not saying it's the same thing, but Chris Dunkley apparently beat the crap out of his girlfriend, and was eventually reinstated. But I think Strong has less tolerance than the last 2 coaches (not an insult to them...it's a relative term). Hate to lose a DE, but I don't think he was very productive in 2016. Time for others to step up and take his reps.

But good call of Amichi, as most local USF writers had him going undrafted.

Seriously, I thought you were being sarcastic, as that was so outlandish.

Being better than Woulard isn't a high bar. But being better than our starters for 2018? Bold. If even close to true, we should chase him hard. P.S. Props to calling Woulard underwhelming at a time when most (myself included) did not want to hear it.

What ever happened to Woulard? From the savior to our program ("just wait till he sits out a year! He's smoke Flowers, and we'll finally have a good QB"). Wish him well, but seems he just disappeared.

Heard some Canes alum talking at work today, and they said he was advised he wouldn't be the starter, so he's bolting. Not sure we need QBs...but you can never have too many. If he did come to USF, he'd sit out 2017 and join with Kean as a Sr & Chris O as a Jr...and he'd be a RS Fresh? Or RS Soph?

Wonder what they did to get dumped. Strong knows, so obviously (hopefully) it's nothing too serious, and we need a pretty clean program.

Same. It's WAY too early, but it looks like this team will have more talent than in the past few years. Now, can they play well together, and can we grow from there? Very encouraged.

Leaning toward making the trip, likely staying in FQ or CBD. As to tickets, will likely buy thru USF, but not sure when they are available & what the cost is. Likely headed up Wed, back Sunday, as my wife has never been to NOLA. Weather should be excellent.

The University of Syracuse? I hope Syracuse University doesn't mind losing a recruit to this rival school. How to young men goof up the school name they plan to attend? Odd.

ESPN #232. Impressive offer list. Not sure what has happened since, but worth a shot (filling the Childs schollie?).

It'd be hard to be worse, but the team COA put together lacked cohesion. It's going to be a struggle next season, but I like the direction Coach Gregory is taking.

And, Holston, don't you think? The main reason Holston might stay is that he's a senior (unless he'll graduate early, and grad transfer) and sitting means an extra year of college (and uncertainty). I'd imagine folks will make decisions soon, while options are available, unless they are waiting to see what holes open at other schools.
