Basketball is irrelevant in this discussion. Chump change.

Let me tell you, be tankful we have an ESPN contract. Otherwise it would be radio only.

@TBTimes_Bulls: #USF's Nov. 16 home game vs. Memphis will kick off at 7 p.m. and be broadcast on ESPN3

Agreed

I haven't heard of one team that moved to a new conference these last several years because of basketball ... Correct! Basketball is about fourth in terms of importance for conference realignment.

@USFFootball: #USF kicker Marvin Kloss named a semifinalist for Lou Groza Award. Leads the nation with 9 FGs over 40 yds & 4-of-4 from 50+ yards.

Cincy to "some" degree but UCONN? They are way out of the footprint of Big 12 Culture. But who the hell knows, I guess anything is plausible now.

There should be a minimum of attempts to take these lists seriously. Also, how many were game winners? Kicked in final minute? Etc.

I thought we had 1 win on a Thursday? You are correct we beat some team I have never heard of again (out if conference). All of the rest of the losses have been against conference foes I believe. Beat FAU back in 2002. Which I am sure was not not an ESPN game. Thus, we are 0-10 on ESPN Thursday night game.

I wonder what the total winning percentages are for road teams on Thursday night? I could be wrong but I believe we have been the road team most times. Regardless, it is ridiculous we are 0-10 on Thursdays.

No fix. This is not the 1919 Black Sox.

He missed in the first game I believe. It was not a long one.

Amazing how fast these threads hit the crapper. Good job everyone!

I love the "legal" analysis that many of our threads have. So exciting and informative.

Looking at Rutgers game vs Temple. I think we can beat Rutgers as long as USF accepts playing in the cold.

Best kicker we have ever had.

I disagree. The forward propulsion call was legit. We would have been in an uproar if Rutgers did the same thing and got away with it. The last USF throw of the Rutgers game was a terrible call. Forward propulsion was legit? It was not at all. Illegal forward propulsion is when a player intentionally throws the ball to the ground in hopes someone else will pick it up. Replays clearly showed that the ball was knocked out of the USF player's hands by a Rutgers player from behind, thus pushing the ball forward. There wasn't anything remotely intentional about it. A regular fumble that is advanced is perfectly legal, which is exactly what happened in the Rutgers game. When I take my green and gold glasses off, it looks like there was an intentional throw forward. It was a smart play, and I bet Rutgers would have gotten away with it, but I can't objectively say that it was a bad call. I agree. Even to this day it looked initentional to me.

Ridiculous thinking. I always hear this. That's like saying because the Patriots got the luck of the tuck rule, and that the pushing penalty a couple weeks ago was evening things out. Tell that to a Raiders fan who missed out on a Super Bowl. We still haven't gotten retribution for illegal forward propulsion. Or maybe by this logic a missed holding penalty against Charleston Southern a couple years later evened that out? Completly disagree. It may not be one big call but it can be the culmination of a lot of smaller calls. There are plenty of holding call we never see. I know for a fact there have been pass interference calls against us this year that have not been called. True, you may not the same stage or point if the game, but the calls themselves do even out.

Who cares if he called. Bad calls work themselves out. We get one this season or next. It always balances out. Even if he did call what good does it do?

Whoa!! Pump the friggin brakes there genius you're about to fly over the crevasse. This kid shouldn't be sniffing Blackwell's or Grothe's jock strap and you're ready to crown him king of QB's? Are you huffing paint? Mark my words. He will be better than both Blackwell and Grothe when it is all said and done. He is a winner. Always has been and always will be. USF is lucky to have him. He could have played baseball. And he may still do that. But he will be our best QB. This just in, at the present time, he's a loser ... I would agree if he played in the defensive secondary.

Thinking 5 wins

He will not get drafted if he decides to leave early. There are at least four I know of that did this and failed to make an NFL team.

Well, he proved it his first week and that is all one can ask for so far.

Don't mind that he did not play earlier. There were too many factors to consider. In the long run getting in 5 games this year was the right call.
