Does "golf center" for them translate into "American football stadium?"

In the end, someone will have been remotely on track all along and will come in boasting they are the source and the omniscient one, and will demand their internet cookie. And like a classroom full of students with their heads down doing busywork while a teacher cracks a what-he-but-no-one-else-thinks-is-funny joke, no one will notice or care. And someone will probably post like-being-the-smartest-retard.jpg.

the article was cool until that stupid predictions section...

first banner up there is UCF. 6th one looks like Houston, 9th one looks like Memphis (with the tiger jumping over the "M"). I know the WVU one is gone, I hope they threw out the Syracuse and Pitt ones too.

This is BillReef being BillReef. If he is challenged on anything he goes into obnoxious tantrum mode. He's pretty unbearable IMO. I'm sure more kicking and screaming will commence after this post. guess i didn't know it was someone with a name change or something. good to know i guess?

post it up if u can. i wanna fb it

guys who cares? this stuff is gonna play out one way or another. you guys are getting way too defensive with your "stances"...even if it plays out how people predict, no one is gonna care that you were the "one who called it" and no one is going to give you a cookie when you said "i told you so." this IS all just hearsay and message board fodder.

western equivalent of pinstripe and belk bowls. just mid tier stuff they can rotate SDSU, boise, texas teams into, just as they do with uconn/rutgers/syracuse into new york bowl.

Will probably be there with a bunch of people. Should be a fun time.

i'd prefer if we can get to the point that getting to the ncaa tournament isn't "shocking"... :\

as long as they somehow get footage of Ryan Tannehill's wife. fap fap fap

they won the close games in 2010, ball just bounced bad for us last year. if we can even out on that we'll have a decent year.

That's my sentiment. Next year will be a true (and possibly the final) challenge to how well Prado can coach. We might have a better offense, but will we have the pitching? Even with this year's "Rays-style" offense that can put up runs one night and go cold the next, we had the pitching, and this was our best shot in a while. I really hope they can improve next year too, but I'm not holding my breath.

That first inning had all the makings of an epic USF choke session, great job to get out with only 1. Gotta leave the house, hope USF bats can put some numbers up; hopefully their pitcher has some jitters of her own (esp after making the dumb call to try and take home). \m/

they still have two more series to win, btw. i can't tell whether the 76ers or celtics will be a more fun series...probably boston just because this may be their last hurrah as the big 3 get older.

True, but it's not like Oklahoma State really pulls much market in the shadow of OU. At least Texas Tech has the entire west side of the state and New Messico to pull from, and Baylor has its own little following. Even while not true, that is hilarious. Love to watch Clemson fail.

Losing the pitching will hurt more than any offensive talent will help, unless we're just so good that we consistently put up runs, which isn't easy day to day. As much as I don't think Prado truly can get it done, at the very least getting the new stadium built and having some solid core players, he gets one more year, two MAX, and if we're not in the Series or winning the BE, pinkslip him. He's starting to look like a guy who can get the team to be decent, but we're likely going to need someone else to get us over the hump, just like we did in basketball, and many other sports. I'm not fully in the know about him, but from what I hear, he is not recruiting well, and we'll have had the new ballpark for two seasons now, so if he can't bring in decent talent this year or next, his time is up. But as someone pointed out in the other thread, why did they sign the extension? Well, we're USF...I've gotten used to this university not making the best decisions when it comes to hires and extensions. The hires usually are decent, but they are too lenient - and it's because this school is not flush with cash to lure in who they need. Hopefully we can get a win this time and stay in this thing.

I'm curious to this. It's like someone has been trying to be the bearer of the truth so they can go back and say they were the ones who predicted it or broke it first, and got defensive when people started asking for links. All I know is I post long, drawn out scenarios myself, and they're purely speculation, but I love predicting different ways it will shake out. IF...IF......IF IF IF it shakes out. ha

lol they will be our permanent game. no doubts about it.

TEAM AMERICA F*** YEAH!

Pitt is actually a higher, if ND does got to Big 12 there partners for 13 & 14 would be either GT or Pitt, imo, so they are working hard right now behind the scenes also to possibly pull a TCU. Now if **** hits the fan which conference would PItt and Cuse be better off in BE or making the move to ACC. I say when its done the BE will be the more stable of the two with the better contract in NBC. ACC is going to have to renegotiate with ESPN when its done because if wont be worth what they just signed. The ultimate SHTF scenario would kill the ACC as we know it, and a BE merger (or raid the entire BE basically) would be their only option: Big 12 gets FSU and Clemson, at the very least. ACC down to 12. Big Ten goes after Virginia, Maryland, UNC, and Duke (or perhaps Georgia Tech and Syracuse). ACC down to 8. SEC grabs NC State and Virginia Tech. UVA is gone so they don't care about staying connected to VT - just play a yearly out-of-conference football game and be done with it. ACC down to 6. Notre Dame goes to the Big 12, spurning the ACC's last hope of getting a team to help others join. At this point the ACC is down to 6 teams. The Big 12 has likely also gotten Louisville, and a combination of BYU/Cincinnati/Pittsburgh. The Pac 12 does nothing, and doesn't need to. Big 12, SEC, and Big Ten are now all at 16 teams. ACC is at 6...maybe 5. They add USF, UConn, Rutgers, Temple...up to 9. UCF makes 10. Then they are forced to go west. Navy? Houston/SMU? In essence, we all saw how the Big 12 was a few signatures and handshakes away from disappearing or completely mutating only to recover. It could totally work the other way around with the ACC, becoming very large and stable, only to be pilfered to the point of extinction and kicking down more dominoes once again.

barring boise, every one of those plane flights are to a pretty major metropolitan area so there won't be tons of puddle jumpers or chartering flights to some grassy landing strip in BFE (looking at you SEC). that model a few posts up isn't bad. the travel isn't gonna sway whether it's east-west or arbitrary, because while the cross-division protection helps keep a closer rival on the schedule, you'd be in a division with longer travel partners out west. memphis-temple in that model isn't bad. that's one time zone and not a very long flight at all.

better to have balanced 4 home/4 away conference schedule. keeps 4 OOC games so you can get at least 2 or 3 home games out of that for a 6 or 7 game home schedule (don't try to get all 4 OOC at home, we're not the coward SEC). OOC you can play: -1 FCS or SunBelt/MAC team -1 against C-USA/MWC probably get both of those at home Then play 2 teams from current AQ conferences, a home and an away. Play an ACC team and an SEC or Big 12 team. You get 7 home games, with two winnable OOC games to start the season (don't hate us, hate the system, get the wins, get closer to bowl eligibility), and two good matchups against quality opponents for SoS purposes, challenges, upsets, etc. Imagine USF schedule (us being in east-west conference with RU, UConn, UL, UC, and Temple), loosely based on this year's schedule: -CHATTANOOGA -@Ball State -RUTGERS -FSU -@Temple -BOISE STATE -@Louisville -@Houston -@Cincinnati -UCONN -@Miami [or other ACC/"AQ" team] -UCF (Thanksgiving Saturday) - protected cross division game -BE champ game (if we're in it) 6 home, 6 away, respectable OOC schedule. boom. done.

hopefully USF gets to stay in the east, we were here first!!!! plus, ucf has existing ties with memphis, houston, and SMU - makes sense they can keep making treks out there. West- Boise St San Diego St SMU Houston Memphis UCF East- UConn Rutgers Louisville Cincinnati Temple USF Cross-division games to "protect" (i.e. they play every year): USF-UCF Louisville-Memphis That's really it. Unless something else becomes a natural huge rivalry, there's nothing on there that needs to be protected. All the current BE teams (and former Temple) are in one division, and the C-USA/MWC guys are in the other.

geez u guys couldn't google images for 5 sec and find a better pic? not bad. good luck to the softbulls tho.
