@smazza with the power move! Someone needs to get president law and VP Kelly in touch with him. The usf football lunch is on Friday.

Is it going to get an IPO and go on a stock exchange?

Making a lot of assumptions. Yes you get to live in Hawaii for free. But UH is academically an average institution (170 in USNWR rankings). You have to travel to the US mainland for half your games and you're way behind on time zones with the rest of the country. And as a G5 school UH is not likely to get the best scheduling which would get you to the NFL because most bigger schools, even on the West Coast, are not likely to travel to Hawaii given travel costs.

It's a bizarre claim implying that USF would make less revenue from the new stadium than from RJS. If we have a big Alabama or UF opponent we can roll them over to RJS if that gets them on the schedule, it only costs 200k to rent RJS for a game, maybe 300k if we need the whole stadium. We had 18 million in football related revenue during 21-22 which was a horrific 2 win season. It's using zero based budgeting to assume no revenue growth whatsoever. We could theoretically afford that debt service just with the concessions and parking increases. If we actually start winning I'm pretty confident the real revenue number will be much higher, closer to 30 million a year or so.

There's one on Nebraska and MLK. Good because that area needs a good grocery store and they do pretty good.

WKU comes down to how much progress BB has made over the off season. We cannot realistically hope to stop Austin Reed and the air raid barring immense defensive improvement. Every team that beat them last year with the exception of Auburn did so in a shoot-out where they scored 30+ points. I would have like last year's offense to pull this off better. The weird outlier was UAB-they held them to 20 points but forced WKU to play from behind all game, forcing the Hilltoppers to win the game in the 4th quarter. If you can force turnovers that will help too. Reed did throw 11 INTs in 12 games which isn't a whole lot given he had 602 attempts last year-basically 1 every 54 attempts. Their defense was average which gives me some hope-61st in run game, 85th against the pass. I think the key will be to jump out to an early lead and use the run game to keep the offense off the field. I do think WKU is plenty beatable.

And that my friends, is why USF is a preeminent university and UCF will forever be known as the Oviedo State Citronauts.

Two fouls on DFM in the first quarter? They must be using the same refs they used in the Florida game in September.

Why are we assuming Marquette is better than us? It's an 8/9 game for a reason. If Marquette was better, they would have been seeded higher. The team has had some time off and a chance to look at what went wrong. You all seem to have forgotten that this is the same team that beat two top 25 opponents and would have beaten OSU if not for ridiculous referee calls.

Not surprised SMU fought so hard. They were unbeaten at home before today. They played their best game, we played as bad as we could have and still won.

Or track racing our fastest guys down the field in hopes of a downfield recovery

Needed to keep DDP for that. We could just onside kick every possession. Imagine being so well practiced at onside kicks that even if you only recovered 50% it would technically be a stop, plus the defense would only ever play on short fields. Even if the opposing team scores they stay fresh because they have less snaps. If your D gets a 3 and out then they have to attempt a really long field goal which isn't a guarantee for an AAC kicker-and suddenly your offense gets the ball between the 30–40-yard lines.

You can rent it like everyone else. Pm me and we can discuss. Willing to give you a USF discount.

I have a McLaren. Not a joke. What do we need to do.

The Refs seem to enjoy calling way too many fouls. Not watching live but that looks like they're screwing a bit much with the game. USF had this well in hand but the refs kept calling fouls.

Refs been calling waaaaaaaaaay too many fouls on USF. Feels like a fix up.

College ball was always about the money, who are we kidding? Millions for head coaches, millions for TV contracts, millions for ADs. The only change is now the players are allowed to operate in a free market for their marketing value where before they were expected to shut up and be grateful for a scholarship that could get pulled annually.

Sure it is, if you want to break the program in 2. Every failure CAG has will be scrutinized in light of the program founder standing next to him. You can't go halfway with CJL. Either he's the man in charge or he's not coaching. At this point we probably need to make him a program ambassador of some kind. That would still leave CAG with the opportunity to mold the program in his vision.

I was in the room when JD Alexander brought Don Gaetz (yes, Matt Gaetz's daddy) to basically threaten the Board of Governors for the State University System. Michael Long, the student rep exposed him utterly then and there. I need to add that this isn't the first time Alexander and his family pulled that stunt. If you go down to FGCU, you'll see street signs for Alico Road-that's the name of their company. That used to be USF Ft. Myers. It was probably the right move to separate FGCU (way too far south to be part of USF's ecosystem), but USF Poly was essentially a money grab engineered by blackmailing USF.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 86/100 My Time 251 seconds  

A legitimate point, one of the few beyond "his time is past" that I've seen. She still comes to athletic events too. And well...yes. Yes I would. I have no end of respect for how she boosted the school academically. But she despised athletics and wilfully let woolard tank it into the ground. And let's not pretend that she was entirely perfect. Her management of the branch campuses was poor and allowed JD Alexander to create the circumstances for the biggest corruption boondoggle I've ever seen in the state of Florida with USF Poly. Is she going to write the ocs check? Or heck, the CJS buyout check? If so then fine. But otherwise, it is beyond past time to fix the mess she made with usf athletics. Do that and I guarantee this university will take its next huge step forward.

Da Prato seems have some competence. I don't hate trickett either.

I mean, I don't gamble, but if we all gambled and bet against USF repeatedly I suspect we could literally fund the OCS with won bets. Talk about getting our opponents to pay for our stadium!

I joined after the Miami win in 2010. Hard to believe it's been nearly 12 years on here. Unfortunately it's been mostly downhill from here. Fortunately-I still love USF and I'm grateful for this website giving us all a place to vent.

You could have removable seating to close up the gap. Put the students there and drown the opponent in constant noise. We could call it the bullring. Cricket fields are larger anyway.
