BIG K there. 

LOL at least he didn't fire one home to show off his arm. 

Good grief. Looks back the runner and take your time throwing to 1B. He's not Billy Hamilton.

And that made it possible for UCF not USF. No need to play what-ifs. They, South Florida, are undisputed champs.  

It's not so much a what if as it is UCF knocked off the highest ranked, #1 seeded team in the tournament. That's just what happens in tournaments like this.

They went 1-1 against ECU yesterday. We call that a split, not a sweep.

We call that elimination.

The Regional berth is just gravy for this team.  Huge win today for this Program and Coach Mohl, and really for the whole USF fanbase and their perception with ucf.

Its not impossible for us to win a couple of games in the Region.  This team is playing hot and with confidence.  Anything goes. 

I mean, UCF swept ECU yesterday (ranked 9, 10 or 11 depending on which organization you choose), which really made this possible.

I have an idea.  Break ground on the IPF in this offseason AND hire a new HC that is attracted to our commitment to the program this offseason instead of next

Yeah, an indoor practice facility will fix their problems. The program is entirely devoid of tradition. Actually, since CJL was dismissed, the program has a cumulative negative tradition. 

Frankly, until the day we somehow get an OCS, this is the turd that just won't flush.

I understand the need to protect players but I think that call was functionally incorrect.  The QB crouched and ducked his head.  I find it pretty much impossible for Macon to not have made contact with the QB helmet considering how the QB changed the position of his body.  I think USF should appeal the suspension. 

Macon launched, leading with the crown of his helmet. Dude created the contact. QB crouched to fall forward and not fumble the ball. Macon’s efforts were to create the fumble. He’s sitting out the first half next week. 

Textbook on how not to tackle. Zero percent chance they muddy the waters here by “seeing his point of view.”

Typical Strong-led team. Undisciplined.

That leg is very broke... and I feel nothing for him.  We've seen this many times...  I hope he gets better and makes a full recovery... but bye!

It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

(first time posting in a long while - LOL at my avatar of a meatball sub)

Gotta wonder what CCS was thinking not squibbing that kick. I mean, unless your K can reach the upper deck of the stands beyond the end zone, the play there is to make the jammers (midfielders?) field that ball. The gunners make the tackle (likely touch) around the 20-25 yard line.

Maddening. So so maddening.

The new coach better just get some TIME. I swear if anyone calls for his job after one game or season...

The program is mired in quicksand. I hope he's afforded time to back up some dump trucks to pile in some much needed dirt, so that in a couple years, the concrete pillars can be poured so that something sustainable can be built.

That metaphor hurt my head.

Gregory will be better than Antigua, that's about I can say at this point.  I'm sure it is difficult to find anyone that wants to take on this rebuild.  Needed to pull the trigger so the coach can actually find enough players to field a team next season.

This is as hard of a rebuild as there is in America. Apathy runs strong within the hallowed halls between Fletcher and Fowler Avenues. 

What a dumpster fire. 

I'll need therapy if the Bulls hire Greg Schiano. 

As I said before, Taggart would be an idiot to stay at USF if a program like Oregon offered him a job.

He got that offer well before we entered the Big East.

He was rumored to have been offered a contract twice by Alabama. The latter was in 07-08. 

Edit: I dug up when he was initially offered a contract, and apparently it was to replace Dennis Franchione at Alabama. Said Alabama team was dealing with NCAA sanctions and had some pretty 'meh', and actually a lousy season in recent memory. In other words, it was a dark time for Alabama. 

Kudos to CJL for sticking with his project at USF, and then later on when they were a BCS program (dream realized). 

Still, Taggart would be a moron not to leave USF for Oregon. There are NFL jobs less prestigious. 

Just now, BullDoug said:

THIS!!

Ok hopefully he knows he will be at USF for a long time if he wants.   His kids could have a very stable environment by going to the same HS for 4 yrs.

 Taking OR job is a gamble. He could be looking for a job in three yrs.  This could just be a ploy for a bigger raise from USF...hopefully.  

CWT is a good coach but I do remember him on the sidelines looking clueless. However recruiting may be what turned WKY and SF programs around. Mack and Q could have won 7-8 with a mediocre coach. WKY had an NFL caliber QB last yr too. 

Anyway If Tags goes 10-2 next season he will not be in Tampa unless USF drops some big cash. And he really likes being in Tampa Bay. 

He'd be a fool not to hold a meeting at the request of Oregon. That's a really short-list destination job (NFL included). Without question he'll parlay that interview into more $ at USF.

You don't have to be in a BCS conference to be loyal. But even if you do, Alabama is clearly a better job than USF. Yet, CJL stayed.

So you see, it does follow.

No, it doesn't. Taggart has no shot at reaching the pinnacle of his profession at USF. Leavitt, did. That's the lack of analogy, right there. It has nothing to do with loyalty.

And yes, Leavitt had an offer from Alabama that he kept in his desk, I believe.

Then next year, rinse and repeat. 

For all of his faults, CJL was at least loyal. Miss that.

Non sequitur. CJ Leavitt coached in a BCS Conference.

I actually thought Taggart would want to stay here.  USF stuck with him when he was on the verge of getting canned.  Guess I was wrong.

So much for the coach speak about being home.  All a sham.  I guess we are a stepping stone after all.  It sure didn't take long for Taggart to be chasing jobs after the season ended.  Why can't he be satisfied with coaching his hometown team into a national power.  If he's the coach he thinks he is, then he can do it.  Why do coaches have to be chasing the next job every year.  A long time ago, established, well respected coaches used to stay at one school a long time.

He's not getting the job. Despite succeeding in a couple of (rather) lousy situations, there are better options than Taggart for Oregon. I'm guessing they give the job to PJ Fleck (WMU). And Taggart's going to get a nice, fat raise/extension to his contract for his troubles.

Right.... I'll see you at the end of the game next week. Is it OK to quote you on this?

I'm only saying that a team with loads more talent just got schooled in historic fashion on national television. They're likely going to be focused on all facets of their game this coming weekend. 

Put it another way: I'd feel a bit better had FSU actually beaten Louisville so that the chances of FSU looking past USF would appear more closer to reality. 

FSU's loss to Louisville was the worst loss a 2nd ranked team had endured in 71 freaking years.

They're going to take out a lot of frustrations on CWT's boys next week, I'm afraid.

Only if FSU lost to L'ville. If we beat Syracuse, we'll enter in the low 20's, high teens. FSU could be ranked #1 going into our game if undefeated. There's no way we jump them unless we totally annihilated them. If they lose to L'ville and we beat them, there is a possibility we'd come out ranked higher.

Eh...I disagree. If an unbeaten USF knocks off FSU, USF would jump up to 12-ish, and FSU would drop, losing to a 'group of 5' nobody like USF beyond that. Houston jumped well past Oklahoma, who was #3 at the time they played last week. Houston has more cache than USF, which would cause FSU's drop to be the more precipitous.
