Love what Battie brings to this team. Reminds me a lot of Lindsey Lamar who played here about a decade ago.. 

I think Lindsay was a little faster but not as shifty

I don’t think they subbed much outside of Lofton - so you’ll have two guys penciled in for next year out of 5 - Hall at right guard and Lofton probably at center. Then you have the two P5 transfers in Perkins and Bailey, along with Kilfoyl and Best. We’ll be OK.

I guess we can add Blanchard He got some good playing time last year at tackle  not long enough to play there but could slide in the middle 

Couldn't tell if we did some subing but it doesn't make me feel too good about next year with losing 4 of those guys while starting a new qb ( I think it's a chance Gary comes back as he has not helped his NFL stock yet)

and I think the coaches know that now. While I love Mangham, I think Brian and Dukes are better.

I need to rewatch Batties long run where he got caught.  I didn't think the DB got him cause of his angle, Shocked me he got caught

This is why everyone blame John McNamara and not Bill Buckner, right?

Should bucker been playing with the bumm leg?  A healthy first baseman would easily fielded Mookie Wilsons ground ball.  Being a huge Mets fan at the time I'm glad McNamara was an idiot

While I feel better about our future tonight end of the day the loss has to be hung on the coach.  It always need to fall on the leader for any failer.  Tobight we lost by not talent but mental failure.  That is on the leader

UL offense may be slightly better then UF  but there D is not on the same planet

a couple of things   I think a couple of times we got away from the run when we should have stuck with it   and end of the day choking like we did is a reflextion of the coach.    All and all we will not face a team as good as UF the rest of the year so it should end up a geed season

N/A

Thats a coach I would love to play for.   His energy is infectious

Soil testing rigs are at the stadium site.  This is is moving fast.

Those renderings are  from Bueller who is an architect.  He does alot of these type of things on Tampabayskyscrapercity.  Check it out it's pretty cool with his ideas all around Tampa as well as the future skyline

I feel so guilty. The thousands of dollars I sent to USF athletics this year could have went to charities I had to donate to a little less this year since I went over board to USF.  I have no idea how they will ever fund these pie in the sky projects to watch the **** they put on the fields and courts

I thought I read a while ago the the trails/parkland by where the stadium is planned cannot be ripped up for some weird reason.  It was designed by some famous land architect too>    I really liked that area but I'm all for the trade off

They have 6,400 on campus, but then they list 3,756 as "affiliate housing". Affiliate housing looks like its off campus apartments that require you to be a UCF student.

UF looks like they have 7,500 on campus and FSU has 6400. So us having 7000 is right in line with all the other big state schools.

I wish the MOSI site would be developed like College town up in Tally.  That place is sweet

At UCF , 15% of the students live in college-owned, -operated or -affiliated housing and 85% of students live off campus. UCF has 61,500 total students at the  main campus · Academic Health Sciences Campus · UCF Downtown · Rosen College of Hospitality ...

I can't find an exact number, but I'm guessing they do not have 7000 students living "on campus"

I could be wrong but I think I've heard they have 10K on campus

So what does this all have to do with USF playing BYU in football?

I'm an Irish Catholic and Like ND just because of that but when I go to Mass I don't see nearly as many people as I used too. While it makes me sad that religion is not what it used to be, it really shocks me that ND still has the power they do in media rights

@Cubanbull, I know you know MB.  It's clear after a few minutes on twitter, our new wave of fans don't:

So....

Marquel Blackwell was a four-year standout quarterback for USF who still holds several school passing records, including 9,108 career yards from 1999-2002.

Blackwell’s other program passing records include: career completions (795), season completions (258, 2001), game completions (37, twice in 2001), career attempts (1,417), season attempts (456) and game attempts (65, 2001), season 200-yard games (10, 2001) and career 200-yard games (23).

Blackwell’s passing yards per game average (262.0, 2001) is still atop the all-time USF season chart and he ranks second behind only Quinton Flowers with 67 career passing touchdowns.  Blackwell is USF’s career leader in plays (1,819) and shares the record with Matt Grothe for plays in a game with 76 (2001).

While leading the Bulls, Blackwell compiled a 30-12 record and led USF to its first nine-win season in 2002 while serving as one of the team's four captains. He finished his collegiate career with 10,343 total yards, which rank fourth in USF history, and his 87 touchdowns responsible for are the second-most on the Bulls’ career chart.

 

Newer fans like to rank the QBs with MG and QF switching it up at 1 and 2, then BJ 3 and MB 4.  I don't enter those arguments, but MB is a Top Two for me, and I have often considered him the best.  I'm willing to debate him and QF.

But that is for another thread.

Sorry mods.
 

I think MB is the GOAT     He did not have the talent around him like Q did.  The only real stud was D Rube ( Maybe Hughy W)  on that team. ( I still can't understand how D Rube didn't have a pro career, Will never forget his Pitt game with I believe  he had a bad hammy. He was better then Antonio Bryant) Q had so many weapons around him that the defense  had to worry about all the other studs.

Just some math   20,000 tix at an ave of $35 is $4,200,000 for 6 games  That is probably conservative      

Parking-5,000 cars at $20 is $600,000 for 6 games and thats probably conservative so lets round up to $5,000,000

Not having a financial calculator available but roughly for bonding $200,000,000 the annual  payment is around $7,000,000

I'm sure between concessions, advertising, naming rights and other events we can come up with the extra $2,000,000

If we can get an MLS team (screw Sternberg) and/or the USFL team (if the league makes it)  then we will be printing money

And three directly across the street from that one.  So definitely some options for out of town vistors.

 

and soon to be the Yuengling hotel with beer taps in the wall.     Think about a game day. Ordering a Pub Chicken tender sub and drinking the draft from your hotel room, then going to the beer garden for a few, then start tailgating under the trees across the street from the OCS

So with the news of the Big 10 shutting out ESPN make ESPN overpay for Pac 12?  and then make Pac 12 grab some Big 12 teams?     HMMMM very interesting

Breaking out a Rush song  Great job

I can really see in 10 years the ACC having our old BEAST breathren and us (minus Slutgers)    USF, Louisville, Cinci. WV and Pitt

Can you imagine if Gillum won the governorship. He would spend the whole state budget on drugs and his own personal gain before he would spend his life in jail
