  1. Trip, yes, I did not write well, sorry. I think Callahan came directly from UF as a "D" grad asst. Callahan is coaching D backs.

    The new recruiting coordinator is Drew Hughes, hired from Alabama. Hughes has the recruiting wick turned way up.

    Good luck Bulls in the Softball World Series. I think Div 1 Softball in Florida has turned....away from UF. They are old and slow....and no longer have the recruiting edge.

  2. Go to UCF, probably not. But, when factoring in level of talent and speed of committing, this may be UCF's best recruiting class ever. They certainly had a big day today. They will lose some before signing, but the recruiting coordinator they hired from Alabama, has turned around the recruiting efforts and organization in a significant manner...judging by the early results. Lots of time left before signing day though.

  3. USA Today reported on all Div 1 public school finances recently.

    Click on USF to expand. I was interested to see that LSU accepts no state funds nor student fees to support athletics.

    interesting how our ticket sales peaked in 2008 and contributions peaked in 2009 and yet our expenses have grown 33% and 24% since.

    I was impressed by the licensing revenue, and equally surprised by the 1.5M 2011 revenue vs. expense shortfall and the 2011 2.7M contributions amount, which has been dropping for 3 years. I thought the contributions would be higher than 2.7M.

  4. I went to the UCF game with some buddies yesterday....this is what I felt while watching the game:

    I hate Stan Heath. I hate USF marketing. I hate our lack of support. It made me sad to be jealous of UCF. I hope I'm not let down by the Sun Dome renovations, or by our "coaching decisions". It was a Saturday game at 5 pm against Old Dominion and the announced crowd was 4,000+, the student section was louder during break than ours has EVER been in my 3 years at USF. Fantastic chants. Oh, and the fans seated on the sidelines weren't 100 ******* years old, and were LOUD with their boos and getting on the refs. Doesn't matter because most of our fans would've stayed home saying "WHOS Old Dominion...they have a funny name we should win by 25".

    This is what 3 years of USF athletics has done to me- I don't know how some of you have survived this long. I feel like I need to run away as soon as I graduate, simply for health reasons.

    The Arena has become a great place to watch a game. I think the UCF marketing Dept. has had a huge collapse this year, but the teams current winning ways have brought out many fans on a consistent manner. New marketing leadership along with B east anticipation should help even more.

    I think you will see Sundome attendance improve....but eventually as in every program, you have to win to keep the marginal fan base interested. Right now at UCF, these fans are appearing. i wish I could attend more games. I look forward to some spirited B ball games vs. the Bulls.

    Why was the current series discontinued?

    Happy Holidays.
