  1. it's obvious that EVERY OFFENSIVE PLAYER wants to play with Bench over the other two bums we call "quarterbacks."
  2. kick the ******* field goal and put this on the defense jesus ******* christ!!
  3. if i wanted to torture myself i could be watching UCF stomp the **** out of Penn State.
  4. We need to give CWT the three years that we gave Holtz. It may take him longer to rebuild it than Holtz took to burn it to the ground, but the guy has a tough road ahead of him. sure, but then what is the goal for him after 3 years? if he goes 2-10 this season, 4-8 next season, 6-6 after 3 years do we keep him? i think so. it shows growth. this will be a long process. if Taggart can get us bowl eligible in his first 3 years i think he sticks around. low standard but i think that's where the program is at.
  5. Holtz was a reactionary hire. Leavitt was a locally raised jock with a WWE wrestler's voice who liked to run with the kids, headbutt their helmets and get pumped up with his squad. he also repeatedly cold shouldered the media. after the Leavitt "situation," USF clearly looked to hire someone with the intent of counteracting the Leavitt image rather than hiring the best coach. Holtz is a pillow soft choirboy who played "mommy" to his players and Howdy Doody golly gee wiz suckup with the media and couldnt recruit worth ****. i think Taggart is a good hire. he seems to be more level than Leavitt but more energetic than Holtz. he is here for a rebuild and im willing to give him time to set the ship (the bus?) right. just need to see IMPROVEMENT, and starting from a 3-9 season the bar is not all that high.
  6. That's because he went 8-5 his first year he also wasn't brought in under the same circumstances as Taggart. Holtz was brought in because Leavitt was fired for off-field infraction, not because Leavitt was ******** the bed with losing seasons. many of us questioned whether Leavitt could get us over the hump in conference play and take us to the next level, but at the very least he was good for a bowl berth every year. compare that to Holtz, who was fired for poor performance. his best season was his first season, and he got progressively worse from there. the argument cant be made that Holtz "needed more time" when he took over a winning program, won with the players left behind by the previous coach, got progressively worse as his own players were brought in to replace the previous coach's players as they graduated, and demonstrated absolutely no tangible ability to recruit solid players or coach up the players he did recruit. that is evidenced by what Taggart has to work with, which isn't a whole hell of a lot. Holtz was left with a winning team and NFL talent at QB and on defense that Leavitt recruited. Taggart has been left with junior varsity caliber talent at QB, a horrible OLine, lazy receivers, and an underachieving defense. Holtz was brought in to a 7-8 win team that went to bowl games annually with the expectation of getting us to the next step, 10+ wins and a BE championship. Taggart was brought into a 3 win team with the expectation of AT LEAST getting us bowling within the first couple seasons in a newer, weaker conference. i don't see it this year, but i see no reason why it won't happen within the next year or 2.
  7. wayyyyyyyyy too early to start casting shadows on Taggart. he came into this program picking up the pieces from possibly the worst recruiting coach in FBS football. the cupboard was bare. the end of last season was the lowest point in the program's history. the benefits of the last 3 years of USF's tenure as a BCS-conference school were wasted. opportunities to recruit and gain exposure at the top level of college football were lost. turning a program like USF from a bad mid-major into a nationally ranked team is like turning a 400 pound woman into a super model. it takes more than a spring/summer of training and recruiting to drop the dead weight, change bad habits, and learn good ones. Taggart has had one offseason to bring in his own players and train those left from the Holtz New Error. it takes more time than that. the guys Taggart has brought in were either HS players last year or JC players, both of which are not only learning a new system but a new system at a new level. that said there was definite improvement from McNeese to MSU. the game was winnable for nearly 3 quarters and hinged on one play: the Eveld pick-six. UL and Miami are probably the only games left on the schedule that are worse than 50-50 odds IMO. we CAN beat the rest of the teams on the schedule, but we probably won't. they will lose some they should win, and maybe win one they should lose. squeaking 6 wins out of this team would be an outstanding accomplishment. 4 wins would be a good season... at this point i just want to avoid a loss to UCF.
  8. at least we can say our horrible offense scored twice on the vaunted Mich St defense. they cant say the same about our D! *moral victory*
  9. 6 unanswered points the Bulls are ******* rolling!! watch out MSU we're coming to punt and kick field goals on that ass in the 2nd half!!
  10. when your QB is 1/12 for 16 yards, naturally u should throw the ball 3 times within the 10 yard line.
