  1. The membership change isn't about building the reported membership count. It's about being clear that USFAA works for all alumni, not just those who pay into it. As someone who has run one of the USFAA chapters, I've seen first-hand that engagement is hurt by the perception that you need to be a dues-paying member to take part in any official USFAA activities. In reality, we were hosting activities for all alumni and friends of USF regardless of their membership status. This no-fee membership is the model the most alumni associations are moving towards and has been a trend over the last decade or so.
  2. Law, Kelly, Scott, and Weatherford all spoke today. Weatherford is the most important of that group to make such a statement because his board has control on whether or not such a project can happen. This is the first I've heard of the BOT being in support of an OCS.
  3. While I wasn't a huge fan of Currall, I'll defend him a bit here. That was a de facto state wide policy going back to Genshaft's last year. The state university system has been tough on large projects the last few years and several projects across the state have been held up. Having all of the funds from donations allows the project to move forward.
  4. When we were all digital in 2019, the Ticketmaster app would log you out between the walk from the parking lot to the gates. While iPhone users were able to save tickets to their phones, the same functionality wasn't available on Android until half way through the season. What's worse is when you have several tickets in your account that need to be shared with other people. Transferring is just a couple taps away but then there's the hidden cost of getting the receiver setup to actually accept and use the tickets. The last 10-15 minutes of our tailgate is dedicated to tech support.
  5. That's the case right now but is set to change in the next couple years. Coaches (including ours) have been working on getting the sport to run year round rather than over one semester. Once that's done, teams will play a game a week and two games a week will become a rarity. Of course, this will mean more conflicts with Saturday football.
  6. That's a recipe for our colleges of business and medicine to defect to UTampa
  7. Getting coaches on board is a recruiting game similar to players. Without demonstrating investment in facilities, no promising coach is going to come on board.
  8. That's correct. With her reaction after the ejection, I wouldn't be surprised to see her get more than one game too. The red card is frustrating because it seemed like a clear offsides which means play should've been stopped before the foul occurred. I didn't have a great angle but Darek Sharp tweeted the same thought.
  9. I got this email 30 minutes ago. Not sure what I did to deserve an invite.
  10. My money's on Mangham (Colorado transfer) picking up the bulk of snaps. Joiner and Felix will get their fair share but Mangham's impressed during camp.
  11. The hype McClain's receiving from us is matched by the players. I sat next to a defender at last week's luncheon who said he's turning heads.
  12. The full schedule hasn't been released yet but there's someone who tracks scheduling across D1 who has the following OOC home games for us. No clue on whether or not the Auburn game will be included. 11/9 - Bethune Cookman 11/13 - Georgia Southern 11/15 - North Carolina A&T 11/24 - Hampton 12/3 - South Carolina State 12/14 - Austin Peay 12/29 - Mississippi Valley State Source: The D1 Docket: 2021-22 Conference Dockets America East Conference American Athletic Conference Atlantic 10 Conference Atlantic Coast Conference Atlantic Sun Conferenc...
  13. We had similar experiences in the Kiefer years. One notable example is when we lost an exhibition to Jacksonville the year we made an Elite Eight run. We're a ways off from having a team like that again but the team isn't as far down as these two performances would suggest.
  14. Exhibitions don't tell us much about the team and they don't count toward the record for a reason. The entire squad was rotated at least once during this match. Butehorn's probably looking for the right combination of players.
  15. I've been logged out for months after changing computers and haven't had much to contribute. With football season coming back, you'll see me around here a lot more.
  16. If I'm remembering correctly, he took a shot at modeling after he was cut from a roster.
  17. A rule for edits is probably a good idea to help the score keeper. I remember getting tripped up by late (but timely) edits during score keeping last year. With this game's results, I'm going to go with my gut from now on and not make any updates after my initial guess. I can't believe I would've been on top with that first guess!
  18. I like to think you already own some of these.
