Gismo

I’m watching FSU and GTECH struggle against each other in the 4th quarter. Apparently FSU blocked 3 kicks worth 7 points, GTECH has a 3 point lead.

I realize I wast too far behind in the broadcast, comments about the onside kick were the other game, not ours, seriously confused me.

Can one of you post the game clock, I’m curious how far behind I am. My clock says 12:50.

You guys feed must be way ahead of mine... by a few minutes. I’m on Roku espn app.

Just tuned in with 4min in the 1st. The offense is moving fast I can’t even look down to read the in game thread without missing a play.

Can we have unity over things we are for and not against. United for student and athlete success. United to win games. United to lower crime. The BLM organizers are admittedly against capitalism, and support communist regimes (photos with Chavez). BLM quite open about it on their about page website and it’s obvious to anyone who has studied social movements and communist regimes of the 20th century. Also review their influences and other causes of the founders. The organization is getting support from most who have no idea of the real motivations and end goals of BLM, and those goals have nothing to do with helping people, their primary goal is just overthrow capitalism. USF has done exceedingly well among its peers with minority graduation rates, with veteran graduation rates, with success of non-traditional students. I really wish we as a University could rally around those successes and not get whipped up into the politically divisiveness and deceit surrounding the BLM organization. Also, for anyone who has studied effective organization change would know that these “against XYZ” statements are largely meaningless and useless because you’re not going to find anybody who would disagree and these statements don’t really help drive hard decision making regarding resource allocation. They are too broad. A statement like “Our goal is 95% student athlete graduation rate” is way more effective and something people can get behind that would drive decisions to support that aim from more tutoring, to better professors or TAs, to practices and scheduling, to other non-academic personal support avenues. The meaningless statements and largely divisive political movements don’t bring unity. It’s also why I don’t talk politics at work, it creates division in a place that requires unity to maximize success. I like United Start to Finish. I hope USF turns to things within its scope as academic organization such as graduation rates and student support and not bandwagon onto the political winds of deceitful and fear mongering news media.

The money could go to better things if it weren’t going to an ex-coach.

It’s expense to pay coaches not to coach.

He’s not a gamer. He’s an athletic practice QB. If he wants to play he should invest in mental part of the game, that’s his weakness. He needs mental coaching not football coaching.

Why would students not be on campus?

UCF isn’t alone. All of these commie bribed professors around the nation need to be terminated. A Texas A&M internal investigation found 100 professors on China’s payroll, and only 5 professors disclosed the Chinese funding as required. 95 kept it hidden. This is a wider issue than UCF. It’s a national issue and national security threat.

UCF does seems to have an institutional culture of cutting corners. embezzling money, player death settlement, stadium problems. It seems there is a new scandal every other year.

Do you live with any adult females? You will see ads for things searched for on you network. I see womens swimsuit and clothing ads all the time because what my wife searches and shops for.

At the same time they’ve caught up in athletics we have opened a huge lead on them in academics. It’s not one that can be closed quickly by good hires like a new coach.

By that logic Uconn would be gone too.

No good deed goes unpunished. USF has maintained high ethical standards as an institution, and academics and fiscal responsibility have been USFs priority for the past two decades. It seems the academic restrictions on recruiting were too much for Holtz to overcome. Also, UCF made better coaching hires in last 6 years. Being in the same conference has leveled the recruiting playing field. It’s mostly the coaching hires and conference realignment that contribute to them outperforming us recently. UCF also has better local support in Orlando than USF in Tampa. I think it’s because they have way more alumni and way more students, and one local pro team instead of 3.

As a 2011 alum I can vouch for this, the beers did taste better, and the girls did look hotter when I was a student.

Good interview.

If he takes another job we’ve now set an expectation he will coach USFs bowl game.

Scott has me pumped! Gonna kill it tomorrow in the office lol.

I think LSU will win.

3 of 4 CFP quarterbacks transferred to their current school.

Underachievement of the century considering their recruiting rankings. Can’t even score on LA Tech. ‘16, ‘17, ‘18, ‘19 recruiting classes: LA Tech: 94, 100, 77, 83 Miami: 22, 12, 8, 27

Go bulls! All of us alumni should be proud of our contributions. USF is climbing fast, it’ll be another decade before public perception catches up. In the meantime we’ll be past FSU and academically nearing the status of other top state institutions like UF, Texas, Ohio State. Hopefully athletics keeps pace. Academically we are leaving UCF in the dust (but locally UCF seems to have stronger support from Orlando residents than USF gets from Tampa residents, maybe due to the larger student body size?).

I think McCloud will be a good QB with a better offensive line and plays designed around his strengths. I’m hopeful he can improve his arm strength in the off season.
