  1. I'm really glad they are doing this. The USF library is pretty crappy compared to where I am now and the upper floors could really use a make over.
  2. Glad to hear this about AJ. He had some great plays as a Bull.
  3. Or maybe, because one list is only undergraduates, and the other lists is both graduate and undergraduate students.... well maybe we just have a lot less graduate students than those other universities.
  4. One of the other pictures actually has a viking that looks a lot like the Minnesota vikings logo if you google them. My highschool usee the new england patriots mascot/logo, and then when my high school installed a turf feild and track they wanted to use the symbol in the center of the field and requested permission from the patriots, but the patriots didn't let them claiming they didn't want people to think there was an association between themselves and the high school.
  5. From the wiki page: "The dispute continued for months until December 2003, when the county legally declared the stadium a condominium and took ownership." a condominium lol what?
  6. I knew it these conference alignments that were sorted a few months ago wouldn't last, but I didn't expect the wheels to start moving again this soon. I was expecting next spring.
  7. So where do the Pac12 and Big10 now fit in?
  8. The AD from Boston College provided quotes that would provide more than enough ammunition to drive discovery. ESPN had a contract with the BE and conspiring to devalue the BE at the same time. That's a definite no no. +1
  9. I'm sure it wouldn't have hurt the Big East to have invited UCF along with TCU, but we can't know if it would have been a difference maker. Placing the blame on Genshaft doesn't make sense is for two reasons, 1) the other members could have voted UCF in with enough votes and 2) Pitt was the University leading the refusal of the TV contract. Two questions arise then... 1) If UCF was included would the conference (and more importantly Pitt) have accepted the TV right offer? and from that 2) Then why wasn't there enough support for UCF from other conference members to vote them in even if USF were a "no" vote? By implying that UCF's exclusion is the reason Pitt and Cuse left it is also implying that with UCF's inclusion Pitt would have been in favor of accepting the TV deal and not against it.
  10. You see what the B12 is doing. They are stacking these natural rivalries against the SEC to make themselves more viable. they now have: Kansas vs Mizzou Texas vs TAMU and UL vs UK would be pretty enticing I don't think A&M and Mizzou leaving their conference is the best way to stack rivalries. Aslo, Texas and TAMU are not scheduled to play each other next year. So that rivalry may be dead for now.
  11. So what if they have a degree from there and are getting a second degree at USF? Would it be ok then?
  12. So police come to break up a party and you knee one of them in the stomach? instead of just leaving? What are these guys thinking? Must have been quite drunk to decide to knee a cop in stomach for ending a party.
  13. For myself, I haven't found anything that I really like in the last few years. Most of the music I like is from 2005 or earlier but Mumford and Sons I can say has caught my eye. My girlfriend has exposed me to a lot of house/dj music of late and it seems this more euro style music is gaining popularity in the US. To name a few producers/dj's that are popular, Tiesto, Avicii, David Guetta, Calvin Harris, Deadmau5 and Skrillix (dubstep). There is just a lot going on in this music with multiple melodies and other elements that can sound great if done properly. Here is a good example of this in levels from Avicii for anyone who hasn't heard the original. The people I know that are into this style music are all obsessed with this track. The artist Gotye has recently become popular for one song and his music certainly is not traditional pop, but his song "Somebody that I used to know" has been blowing up the radio surprisingly and has nearly 200 million youtube views. Here is that song, but you might also want to check out some of his other tracks, they are quite unique if your looking for something different but it's not the type of music I would listen to.
  14. I have a few pics from last visit Touch screen directory in the new science building new science building lobby Seal inside new building lobby USF Palms, from behind admissions building facing MSC plaza
  15. Thank you for the great photos. I really like the one from the collins garage capturing the city and busch gardens in the same shot. The tree is one of my favorite features of campus. Texas A&M has a similar tree called the century tree that has a fun tradition behind it.... and it looks almost identical shown below. The story with the tree is that if you walk under it with your lover you will be together forever and if you walk under it alone you will be alone forever. So you will see people sometimes go out of their way to avoid it if they are walking alone. On the flip side lots of guys propose to their future wife under it. Also there is a $100,000 scholarship fund that is fully supported by selling seedlings from the tree for $250. Here is the facebook link, it was a really great a idea by the person who started it. https://www.facebook...turyTreeProject I'm sure given time the tree at USF will become a campus icon just have beautiful trees have on other campuses.
  16. When the other team scores 44 points, I find it hard to place any blame on the quarterback.
  17. And how could anyone forget the streak that now continues from last week UCF now has 4 consecutive games without a TD pass.. Games: 4 Passing TD: 0
  18. Wow, I just graduated in May but some of these pictures are making me miss USF already. I'm glad to see they roped off the seal in the Marshall Center. And I also graduated just in time to miss using the new rec center and the engineering renovations. And now the main entrance has fountains in the median. This years incoming freshman are going to be enjoying a spectacular campus after all of these upgrades.
