  1. I think they will still add two without ND but not until the new contract has expired.
  2. I appreciate that man, it’s tough to get a vibe being so far away.
  3. This team is going to be ready to go mentally for BYU. We will see about the other half of the equation.
  4. There are approxmately 500 USF grads in the state of New Hamsphire, Vermont has over 200, Maine has over 400, and Mass has right at 1000. I think I have seen maybe five people up hear wearing USF gear in my 30 years up here. I still wear mine all the time hoping to see someone who will give me a horns up sign. When I hit Tampa for a game its almost like a headrush to see so many USF fans in one place.
  5. Love hearing about the T&F shirt. Your encounter with the USF grad but UF fan is par for the course. We will never reach those people...never...they just need to die off. There are a lot of them which is pretty sad. But it does come back to our current situation in terms of conference. Got to get wins and build the stadium to influence the current genration so this disease does not inflect them.
  6. Somebody post a quick video of the event please
  7. Who cares if it is? He will never be playing us if he is the QB.
  8. I do miss the inocence, excitment, and freshness of those times. We were so **** happy to finally have a team of our own. That can never be recreated.
  9. Big 10 says if you need a friend get a dog...its either eat or be eaten.
  10. All I can say is that the money, tv revenue, and fan interest already shows that this model is working. You are a diehard, as are many on this board, but outside of us its a different world and perception. Having a degree from another insititution at least gives me the feeling that I am not cheating on USF when following another university, but the reality is other people (especally younger) don't care and will adopt a team that is successful and prbably is in the state in which they live.
  11. Big10 is ran by Gordon Gecko while the others are ran by Michael Scott. AAC is more like Ronald McDonald.
  12. The issue now is that the big universities are acting like the NFL in terms of fan interest. Someone may like USF since you went there, but they are betting that USF fans will also cheer for Texas, Ohio State, Georgia, or who ever as a favorite team as well (even if you did not go to school there or have any association). Another way to look at it is who did you cheer for before USF football? The college football powers (tv networks) are counting on you to choose another team as well. Many people have already done this and I assure there are more than a few weeks n this board who have a second team already. I get what you are saying about following A&M. I am almost done getting my degree from KU and have a personal and athletic history there. I am already dumping USF basketball (small potato’s) for them. Although their football team is complete and total suck ass, at least they play decent schools and have media coverage so I’ll follow them along with USF for football. KU will also get a look from the B10 at some point in my opinion so I don’t have to be too concerned about conference shifts like I do with USF (which is f’n exhausting). The next few years are pivotal for my continued interest in USF football. If we can’t keep up relative to NIL, being in a significant conference, being a part of a new collegiate government body, and being in the highest level (D1), then I certainly have another school to fall back on…with or without a new stadium.
  13. No surprise there. ND has the power and tradition to do what it wants.
  14. College Football Playoff's board discusses possibility, potential of restructuring how college football is governed, sources say The 11 college presidents and chancellors who make up the...
  15. I think daddy and high school coach burned too many bridges to make that possible
  16. Two years of being undefeated was the main catalyst along with their bowl win and beating ND.
