No, the daytime images are not the advanced renderings

"Kelly said the next milestones for the project will be to release more detailed stadium renderings in spring 2024"

So the advanced renderings we were promised last year were the same 2 images but just updated for the daytime. 

Wow.

Good for him

So no one got drafted?

I've used the ignore function for a good handful of users here and it's great

Anyway back to topic

Both softball and baseball play today. I will keep an eye on the baseball score but will be watching softball at 5 on the plus. Some good, fun ball players on that squad that took care of business against a solid FAU team last night. 

Watching a replay of the ladies. Gonna be focusing there instead. 

man i am convinced it's me

i tune in and we're tied 2-2

within 10 minutes we are down. this is now a documented thing with me in this thread, I tune in and we tank.

I am not asking for much from Fowler Ave.  I just want to know how much of the money is going towards the players (a rough estimate is fine) and sports teams, and I do recognize that employees need to be paid.  I have no problem with Fowler Ave. taking their "cut" but I think it would be wise for them to be more transparent with the fan base in order to generate more revenue.  There are many fans who refuse to donate to the NIL Collective-- I understand how they feel and I have no problems with their stance.  But there is another group of fans who are on the fence and I think Fowler Ave. is doing a disservice by being shady and ignoring emails.

I believe there are many people like myself who would be willing to donate $50-100/month (a lot of small fish together can make a difference).  I know my $1,200 a year doesn't amount to much but if 100 fans did it, we now have 100K for someone like Reid.  That's my two cents.  I think the opportunity is there but I have been unimpressed so far...

94% goes to the students. I hear you, your email should not be ignored and sorry the service hasn't been great so far. It's my understanding the people running it (Corey, etc) are volunteers with full time jobs. I agree with you, I need responsiveness to get off the fence and that may just lead you more in the direction of the Bulls Club vs Fowler Ave if John, etc, are more accountable.

I‘m not impressed by Fowler Ave.  I wrote them an email with some questions and no response.  I am ready to give $100/month but I need some communication and assurance.

No one seems to have numbers to share.

Remember this is comp to the students, there's some degree of privacy on the part of the students and teams as a whole. I don't have numbers but I know the NIL has absolutely made a difference and allowed us to keep/recruit some recognizable names that will help us win

The team that went out and whooped that ass is the next great team period not just "g5". Bring it on.

Never heard of Orlando Sports Club or whatever. 

ACC and Big Ten have wlax leagues

I am excited about this sport at USF

Anyone remember when is first season? 2026?

Swept by the last place owls. Shame. 

We'll have a good ball team next year. 

I get annoyed that every year is year zero in college sports now with all the turnover but i don't want to go down that rabbit hole. Just hope these guys gel quickly like we did this year and its another exciting year. 

All I want as a USF fan is that we compete for a post season spot every year. Never asked for perfection. And I think we can do that next year.

When you’re in the hunt in the conference and you get routed at home by the last-place team, we’ve probably seen all we need to see. There wasn’t room for that this year.

Frustrating. It wasn't even close both games. 

Again, I feel like I learned my lesson from the Jeff Scott era. At some point you are who you are, it's not an off series or a wild pitch or a whatever. It's... you got throttled by the last place team. Twice. 

Anyway, I will still watch and i still care but it's just frustrating. Maybe we will surprise with some decent wins here and there. 

I have been watching the ladies more as they aren't phenomenal but they are competitive and play good ball and KE is the man. Got heated at the umps the other night it was exciting. 

I tuned into the baseball game and we were up. A few minutes later we were down by 3 runs. 

Turned it off. Tired of the meltdowns. Reminds me of the Jeff Scott Era. It's not that we are losing. Its that we get waxed by last place teams and make them look like a top ten team.

**** me. Who pitched tonight?

Ladies lost too. Some drama as an out at home plate got reversed ridiculously- total bs - and then led to a meltdown. 

We need to take both these series 

ECU Homer

Tied at 2

Nice 8th until Rice brought in some stud closer. 

Switching to the ladies on the plus. Bulls up 2 to 0 in Greenville

I had rice for dinner

Nice burrito bowl with red savina hot sauce 

Boser with an RBI

they need it their current stadium looks like amateur hour

garbage

i have no idea what i just watched but i liked it. 

i think
