Excellent points

Woolard has already said Skip's evaluation will come at the end of the season

Excellent. Wishing best of luck to them up in conn

Nothing wrong with that. Yes some guy was unleashing on players and that would be better directed to coaches but I get it... we are all frustrated. Maybe I am mistaken but I saw Holtz and a fan make extended eye contact as the fan unleashed words I couldnt hear. The booing and shouting was pretty audible. Never seen anything like it at RayJay.

What do we do? ****. This is appalling. Anyone who left early missed Holtz getting booed badly as he left the field. Highlight of my night.

Im about to be taken to the hospital. Or arrested. ****.

Dont blame them. The buck stops with skip. You think sabans kids would pull thay?

**** no

GOLDDDD

Its a little late to do this for tonights game, plus there are a few homecoming events already, but NEXT home game, November 3 vs UConn, would anyone here be interested in swinging by an official Bulls Pen tailgate meetup? We are all the most passionate, not to mention hottest, bulls fans... I think this could be a blast! If there is enough interest, I can start an official thread after tonight to designate location and contributions.

2010 was the last hatted season

im so pissed with this defense. im tired of pointing blame, just ******* fix it

figures the GT guy would be the first to comment in the "calling all nerds" post The thick purple line and dotted red lines look to be the reasons we are losing. Doesn't appear to have to do with the rushing game on either side of the ball.

I am considering wearing a white tee with "HM101" on the back to the SU game, though even your average BP user might not immediately assume that is a BP user name

The attached PDF contains passing and rushing stats from all games this season except the scrimmage against UTC. I’m not sure what I was trying to dig up. I suppose just general trends in defensive/offensive efficiency. Here are the main conclusions: Our rushing defense seems to be just fine 1. Opponents’ rushing yards per attempt has been slightly trending downward, though still above the symbolic 3.3 2. On the other hand, rushing attempts per TD also appears to be trending down, though less convincingly (conceptually, opponents score more with less rush attempts) 3. We are about even with our opponents, if not improving, as evidenced by the # of yards they gain per attempt vs our yards/att Our passing defense has gotten significantly worse as the season goes on 1. Passing attempts / TD has dropped significantly, from about 40 to about 12. Meaning every 12 passing attempts generates a TD. Ouch. 2. Passing yards per ATTEMPT has gone UP. Just a passing attempt in the UL game averaged over 10 yards, or a FIRST DOWN PER ATTEMPT (it’s 7.5ish over the season) 3. Their passing yards vs attempts is increasing versus ours. Switching to offense, our rushing game is consistent, but passing efficiency is getting worse 1. Rush yds/Attempt is about flat, where as Pass yds/attempt has noticeably dropped. 2. It’s really just the last 3 games (FSU, Tem, UL) where our opponents have better pass yds/attempt than we do. In the first 3, that figure was negative, meaning we were out-passing them per attempt Again, just trying to dissect what’s going on. Looks like our rushing defense and offense is acceptable, but our ability to defend the pass has gone from bad to worse, and we are losing the ability to move the ball in the passing game. KEYS TO THE SEASON: 1. FIX THE SECONDARY. 2. UP OUR YDS/ATT. This means land passes in the 5-10 yard range and let our speed extend the play data season.pdf

Which were?

Guys, I just realized, I retired my lucky hat last season. It all makes sense! It's coming out tomorrow. And so are the wins. If any of you have contributed to the bad karma surrounding this team, please, appease the football gods. Bring out your lucky hats, socks, boxers, coozies, etc. Park in the same lot and enter the same gate you did when we were winning. Drink your lucky number in beers. We can do this.

He makes me nervous. Basketball isn't like football. You can't just be a monster and be good.

our running game is clicking and BJ is at best an offensive workhorse and at worst, at least serviceable. if our defense is getting turnovers and stopping the late drives, 75% of our problems are instantly solved.

Event was terrific. Anyone who missed out or is on the fence about tickets, just come to one game this year just for the hell of it. The new facility is definitely a new chapter for USF bball

Here now. Decent turnout and a real treat for fans.

I'll be there at 2 to tailgate. Will stay until the last second. Come at me syracuse-bro.

Bill McGillis just tweeted that it is open to everyone. Apparently not just exclusive to FB season ticket holders, as previously thought.

I will likely be there

What's so bothersome is that Holtz seems unaware of what to do. Per Johnston from the Trib: #USF defense has 0 INTs in 7 games. Skip Holtz: "I've never been through something like this. I don't think I've ever heard of it before." I mean, you are the HEAD COACH, and you are drawing a blank? Is there ANY question AT ALL that maybe you need fresh leadership on defense? If Cosh is calling the shots, can him. If HOLTZ is calling the shots, he needs to delegate to DC.
