  1. Maybe this would be a good time to come up with a better name than "Lady Bulls" for the USF women's sports teams. I've always thought "lady bulls" didn't make a lot of sense...I never saw a lady bull in a pasture. Would the term "Bullettes" for the women's teams be acceptable? Is "Bullettes" sexist or offensive to women?
  2. Metro Conference as new conference name wouldn't work because the elimination games before the big conference championship game would be called metro sectionals and that'd sound stupid.
  3. Giving new members a million is ok, but not a big piece of exit fee pie.
  4. Too bad for the new conference member schools not getting piece of exit dough. Sounds kinda like when somebody wins the big lottery for tens of millions of dollars and all the neighbors claim they should get some of the money because they live on the same street as the lottery winner.
  5. Adding USF and UCF to Big 12 makes perfect sense. The two schools are in two of the fastest growing metro regions in America. The schools have huge enrollments and fast growing alumni numbers. Florida will be 3rd most populated state in a few years passing N.Y. and behind only Ca. and TX. The Big 12 and TV operators want to make money They are not interested in what schools did yesterday (FSU & Clemson)--they want schools in the conference that will contribute the most tomorrow and the next few decades. USF and UCF fit the bill and would be a terrific fit for Big 12.
  6. Psychopaths with valid drivers licenses can be good for college football teams.
  7. Big Thunder Conference, or maybe, Win or Lose Conference.
  8. I really don't care what uniforms the Bulls wear as long as Justin Bieber doesn't select them for us.
  9. There are a lot of different types of coolant in cars today...most people have no idea what's in their radiator. Traditional green antifreeze now made with less silicates will work fine in any modern car after current stuff is flushed out and replaced with good old green antifreeze...just change it every couple of years. Better though to use coolant car manufacturer recommends for vehicle.
  10. Too many rules are being changed for me. Money isn't just green anymore. Antifreeze used to just be green: now it's green, yellow, red, pink, purple. Oreos cookies used to just be chocolate on the outside, white in the inside..now they're pink, blue, yellow, etc. Someone changed the colors for M&Ms. Marshmallows aren't just white anymore, now they come in pink and chocolate. Some things should be left the same. Playing football on green grass, wearing green uniforms should be allowed!
  11. Tampa mayor Buckhorn was funny at the Gasparilla Run downtown this morning; he told 6000 runners over the public address system just before 15K race started to stomp on any squirrels they might encounter along the race course.
  12. As Yogi Berra probably woulda said: "It ain't started till it's started!"
  13. I never liked Innisbrook for business conferences because the place is too chopped up with meetings in too many separate buildings which cuts down on interaction (sales) among attendees. Hard to do business. I prefer big hotel with meeting rooms all clustered together in one spot.
  14. ^^ 'Dats a fact! Victoria would be an excellent recruiter for USF athletics. She'd make me come!
  15. I think USF should consider hiring Victoria as USF's next president when Judy Genshaft retires. Victoria is a proud alumna of USF with a bachelor's degree in communications and she also has a master's degree in business form USF. Victoria knows how to communicate with the public, she's good with figures; she looks good on paper. http://victoriavodar.com/
  16. Everyone at USF is upset with all the conference realignment stuff going on now, but USF athletics isn't dead...sounds like a wake here. USF supporters have to help push the bus now.
  17. She should have talked extra syrupy to Muschamp and said to him: "Mr. Bowden, may I please have your autograph...it's for my grandfather...you're his favorite coach!"
  18. The rumors are getting out of control. Now newspaper reporters are reporting on reports by former reporters! http://www.courant.com/sports/college/hc-big-east-meetings-0112-20130111,0,5944129.story
  19. The Big East school presidents and athletic directors will have their own conference prayer meeting today, and most of them will stay in Dallas for NCAA meetings next week. With all the backstabbing and lack of collegiality with today's athletic conference realignments, I'm predicting a good old-fashioned "hall brawl" or hotel bar fight between some of the AD's and presidents to finally happen. It is getting closer to crunch time with money matters with all this conference nonsense and things are 'bout due to boil over. Dr. Genshaft and Doug Woolard have my permission to go ahead and sucker punch anyone they feel like hitting at the meetings.
  20. It will be interesting what comes out of the Big East big pow wow in Dallas tomorrow. http://www.courant.com/sports/college/hc-big-east-meetings-0111-20130110,0,5223231.story
  21. Last I heard, we're still in Big East. Things could change by tomorrow. I know USF is still in Big East, but I honestly would have a difficult time reciting exactly who else is in Big East today. I'd have an even more difficult time trying to name the schools likely to be in Big East next year!
  22. Bubba is probably busy with the python hunt starting up this coming Saturday down in the Everglades. I'm surprised that only about 500 have signed up for the contest--could be the $25 fee to enter is too much. The entree fees are being used for the prize money--$1500 prize for most snakes caught and also $1000 for biggest snake brought in. To get more hunters, the state should have lined up a big official sponsor like maybe Louisville Slugger. They would make a killing by letting everyone hunt in the contest for free and waiving entree fee--they'd sell thousands of baseball bats hunters could use to get the pythons. It's them or us! http://pythonchallenge.net/
  23. "When did you first paint your bare, bloated, Little Debbie snake-cake filled gut with green and gold glitter paint thinking you'd really look like a Chippendale beefcake?"
