It's sucks that we're 5-0, and possibly moving into the Top 25...yet I'm worried about playing 1-4 Tulsa, in OK (and I'm sure I'm not alone).

Anyone alive at the time remembers Jon Lejiste!

His hit on the FSU back early in our 17-7 win was the true catalyst and set the tone for the physical beating our D was going to put on Ponder & Co.

On the hit on the KR return guy, by Davis, I jumped out of my seat.  It was devastating.  Hope the KR is ok, but that was a true missile hit.

I was struggling to keep the game feed, and when I reloaded, saw Cronkrite running his 3rd TD.  I thought they were just showing the highlights, but then I noticed it was a bit different.  Was stunned to see he'd ripped off ANOTHER 75+ TD.  Surreal is the best way to put it.

Impressive day for the junior...his hard work is clearly paying off.

Mike Gillislee and Chris Rainey beg to differ.

Good point, but I'd put them at similar levels.

Louisville is the UConn of the ACC this year. Pitt was a pretty bad loss, and they are 1-2 in conference so far. I seriously doubt they challenge for anything other than a bowl bid of some sort, but it would be a nice W to have on the resume should they run the table somehow...

It's almost like Petrino got exposed, now that Lamar Jackson is gone.  But seriously, Ville looks HORRIBLE, but still should have beaten FSU.

He mentions that Crunk is a UF transfer because no way can a scrub school like us(f) have such a stud at running back. 

I know you're being sarcastic, but Marlon Mack was better than any Gator RB in the last decade.

Is there some reason they are “minute women...” Whops! Probably should not have gone there since there is a coach who is suspended for something similar...

Because they are petite.  It's pronounced "MY-noot women".

1) The winning team:  USF
2) The final score:  37-27
3) Bulls leading rusher:  Cronk
4) Bulls leading receiver:  St. Felix
5) Bulls total offensive yards (closest without going over):469

Adams left early.

No he didn't.  He was a transfer...only played 3 years.

CAREER RECEIVING YARDS

1. Andre Davis 2,136 2011-14

2. Rodney Adams 1,967 2014-16

3. Carlton Mitchell 1,648 2007-09

4. Dontavia Bogan 1,534 2007-10

5. Hugh Smith 1,523 1999-2002

6. Huey Whittaker 1,447 2001-03

7. Tyre McCants 1,441 2015-Present

#3 is a lock, and #1 is certainly reachable.  

Of course, St. Felix might shatter it in 3 years.

 OK guys so I was sitting in section 114 row 4 yesterday and I was standing for a couple plays in the very first series. Some  older Bull’s fan behind me (about 4 rows back) screamed “hey are you going to stand for the whole **** game.” I turned around looked at him and I thought what a **** BUT I sat down down .  But fortunately for me there about 20 other Bulls Fans that stood up in front of me on the next play when we were backed up in our own End-zone and we started screaming .  I then turned around and gave that guy the death stare. Man I don't get it. I don’t ever want to hear that crap again.  Hey Old alumn, if you don’t want to stand up and cheer get the hell out of the stands that’s my final word . Sick of this ****. I love my Bulls and those that were there, were a factor of noise. Rant over.

I'm over 50, and I've been experiencing the same thing for nearly a decade.  I try to respect that, but on 3rd down on D, I'm standing up, flapping the chair and screaming.  Learn to stand and make noise, and move to the upper deck.  

Again, I respect not standing all game, but on big plays, you should.  We don't have huge crowds, but when we get rowdy, we can affect the foe.  And THAT...is what fanatics should do.

Great post!

1) The winning team, ECU
2) The final score, 38-34
3) Bulls leading rusher, Cronkrite
4) Bulls leading receiver, St. Felix
5) Bulls total offensive yards (closest without going over), 469

This is more of my hedge, and to separate from the pack, but I was HOPING ECU would be coming off a physical beat down by VT, and limp into Ray Jay worn out.  But they are rested, had more time to study us, will play with emotion for Hurricane Florence victims...and of course, ECU HC Montgomery has to be stinging still over the pounding & rubbing it in my Taggart in 2016.

So, I'll be at the game...LOUD...and think if we play our game, we win big.  But if my fears above come to light, could be a tough night.

Many of us were busting on this guy....but never again. he showed toughness and heart and will win a few games this year.

He's had some TO's, but he's one of the TE's in conference.  The 2 INT's weren't really his fault, and made several clutch first down catches.  When I get to Ray Jay, his family sits 10 rows in front of me.  They show up big, with WILCOX on their shirts and are always loud & fun...and interact with fans.  Good people.  Easy to like the guy.

Does anyone else see a different Charlie Strong this year?  He seems happy and  motivated.  I wasn't 100% on the bandwagon last year, but with what I see in him now I'm all aboard.

completely agree!  He seems much more engaged.  Now the fan base & media need to step up.

Looking back on this...not much hoopla, but possibly a star in the making.

Pretty insulting stuff.  For those that don't know or need fodder other than our win, their students are known for getting mugged regularly ON THEIR OWN CAMPUS.

one of my GT grad co-workers posted on my FB, when I told her we beat them:  "Well, we're known to recruit more for academics than athleticism".  I'm sure the bulk of their players are in Mensa.

I gave her a very polite:  "Oh, brother.  Maybe you can move to the Ivy Leagues, and we'll take your ACC slot".

I honestly feel we can beat everybody on that schedule except GA and VA Tech. In a bowl game we might have a chance at Va tech and UGA b/c we will be more "seasoned" but I have faith that this team to win out. 

We'd beat VT before Clemson, the #2 team in the nation.

Im not sure if they have that bad a season. They have 7 "winnable" games left.  I don't have confidence they will beat Duke or Miami, but they have a chance. 

 

 

You're right...all 7 are winnable.  Pitt, Lville, UM and UNC are all showing weakness, too.

Obviously, I'd love it if GT ran the table (or at least the yellow teams).

To be honest, its wishful thinking. I would like for them to have some success to make our victory look better. 

Always, but they hit a buzz saw of Top 25 teams, and unless they stun 1-2, they may not bowl.

Ruggers 2007 is the obvious choice.  The blowout by Oregon at the Sun Bowl maybe ripped me the most as I watched it, as a 3rd string QB just gashed us.

One that stung a lot was the loss to UCF the year they beat Baylor.  Our team was garbage, but we STILL almost beat them to derail their season.

Others I hated losing a TON:  UM 6-3 in Ray Jay; the White Out at WVU (Pat's last game);  NC State shut out 14-0 in the Meineke Bowl, our first shut out.  Of course, losing to UCF last year was painful, but we were 10+ pt dogs on the road, and we witnessed the best indy performance by a USF player ever, as Flowers threw > 500 & fan for 100.  It was a great way to end his career in Florida, even if we lost.

Those hurt, but the many awesome wins (WVU a few times, Aub, Clem, ND, USCe, TT, FSU, UM) outweigh the losses.  Heck, we survived Holtz...may be never dip like that again.

Whats sad is that they really aren't a bad team. I think they should win at least 7 or 8 games. 

they will NOT win 7-8 games.  They play 4 Top 25 teams, as well as some other decent foes.  They'll be lucky to win 6, unless they tighten up quickly.

I bet GT will be like last year. They remind me so much of Navy when Navy was ranked. GT has such a tough schedule. They might make a bowl, if they play well.

there are 4 almost sure losses:  the 4 ranked teams.  The rest could go either way.  I'd guess they go 5-7.

Looks like it's on Comcast, but I'd have to subscribe to BTN.  Would be cool if there's a watch party in Palm Beach (or even Broward).

This was fun to spend some time looking thru.  Those whiney dudes blame the targeting calls and coaching decisions.  The reality:  USF made the plays in the 4th; GT did not.  We also goofed that 4th & goal call in the first half AND just missed St. Felix for an easy 40 yard TD. 

Moving on.
