  1. Beautiful campus, girls, beaches, and world class night life (all funded by boosters)?
  2. Did the person put a foot on the accelerator vs the brake? Has the throttle system been altered? How do you pin it on the manufacturer? I'm not saying that they can be without blame, but that they go beyond reason to test these things and include fail safes. Even still there can be failures. Your first sentence brings up an interesting point which I would love to add to if I may... One of the the most foolish thing I have seen in my life are people who drive automatics with two feet. When they do switch to a manual, I have seen where it took a couple of extra seconds longer for them to brake since they instinctively went to brake with their left foot and depressed the clutch... oops. Folks, if you drive an auto, you left foot should not be used. The left foot is only for the clutch and parking brake (if it is located down there). A family friend drives this way, she has for years, but she drove a standard before she drove automatic. Idk why she drives an automatic like this. I'm confident 100% of the reports are from automatic vehicles. Were these standard vehicles no way the drivers would be blaming the manufacturer if they press the wrong pedal.
  3. Well if our previous meeting with FSU is any indication of the future, imagine how much louder bulls fans will be once we are 1/2 the crowd considering how noisy we were when we made up about only 1/5 of the crowd in Tallahassee. As long as we are in the game I think USF fans will be much louder than the Noles' fans. It won't even be a question if we're winning.
  4. Simply pounding the brakes would have stopped or nearly stopped these vehicles. If you were to do the mathematical calculations you would realize that the brakes are a lot more powerful than a vehicles engine, but car and driver went a step further and did the testing to prove it. Simply using the brakes is enough to stop a 100 mph vehicle with the throttle held open, and the 120 mph test slowed to vehicle to a constant 10 mph. My conclusion is that these drivers never appropriately used their brakes. Could you please explain what the defect was and why the brakes were ineffective?
  5. i see you dont understand the issues the is a defect in the car I thought that this had yet to be proven. Isn't that what you are attempting to do with your case? What was the defect? Mechanical or electronic?
  6. So I guess he decided not to come talk to Holtz this weekend.
  7. Sometimes it is when the police are there telling everyone to get out. ^^^ This... last season I tried staying for the alma mater each game and each game a cop came down and told us its time to leave... when we did not listen they got very testy. They were not just telling my group but everyone. USF should do something about this crap... fans should be allowed to hang around for a while after the end of the game vs. being rushed out like, well a bunch of livestock Just one more advantage of an OCS. And I don't recall the green rags/scarves/bandanas at the WVU game. That was the best game of football I may ever attend in my life. A traditions brain washing camp/orientation for freshman would help build school school spirit and pride imo.
  8. I read on another board these were for one game only.
  9. Well I guess this is where all of the Shane Morris supporters find their comfort.
  10. Looks like some fans aren't happy about who made the selection in the comments.
  11. How can anyone not be? This is arguably the most talented and deep team we've ever fielded. Then maybe we will be ranked #1 this season. Hopefully for more than a week. Or maybe just finish in the top 25.
  12. I don't have a problem with consultants. If they feel they will get a better deal with consultants then go ahead and hire them. I do believe if they thought they could do a better job negotiating the contracts and bidding themselves then they would. The hiring of outside consultants leads me to believe that they aren't confident they can do better.
  13. Do you honestly think Andrea Adelson is following some anti-BE corporate policy with her blog posts? It could be time for some of us to remove (or at least loosen) our tinfoil hats. Honestly I think her reporting has been fine. However her employer ESPN is hardly an independent reporting agency considering that they have a vested interest in the outcome of the TV negotiations and the future of the Big East's media rights. The value of an ESPN article has declined since they began advising other conferences which teams to invite from our conference. Most of the negative things to be said about the Big East are an indirect (or maybe even direct) result of influence from ESPN.
  14. Our running game may have an interesting dynamic this year with 4 listed in the 2 deep.
  15. If he was a Texas commit the coverage would have been a lot different.
  16. I can't take any ESPN article seriously. The conflict of interest is just too great.
  17. I watched the first episode on ESPN3. I don't have ESPN on cable so it was my only choice.
  18. How does one invoke the triple negative law? I don't not think that I haven't ever heard of it.
  19. I don't hate Miami and would like to see them be able to stay strong but they need to stop with the non-sense.
  20. Wow. I'm surprised they would receive an accreditation warning. I really hope it is just the acceditation board being politically correct because of they pull accreditation it would destroy the university.
  21. Unless he chooses here his decision doesn't really effect our team.
  22. Some of you really like stalking these college athletes.
