Did I miss where we hired the AD from UCLA? Or are we just declaring Harlan responsible for the Alford contract before he even gets here so we have something to ***** about?

I was unaware many people nationwide cared enough about us to have an opinion.

Holtz definitely blew the basketball game today. That guy sucks.

Fact is DW fired him ... everything else is conjecture ... unless you have some evidence to back up your particular conjecture. Evidence is for losers.

We need to mass email that link to Dr. Genshaft. If it's Harlan we have to derail him ASAP. It's 3 years old and on a blog, SB Nation. And people talk about me sending a link to the top (MVP) AAAAAA QB in GA to CWT. Geesh. I never particularly was for or against Ironsides. Such things pop up for me and they're alarm bells. You shouldn't have such negative press to begin with. Even as bad as Woolard is, has he ever gotten bad press? Does getting fired for underperforming count as bad press?

He's not a QB.

Coaches aren't administration, different level on the food chain. I feel like we had an AD once who wasn't white. Can't remember his name...

We still play basketball? Next thing you're going to tell me is we have a football team.

I chuckled to myself when I read he got HBP. Hit him again today! He is on a Rival team. Hopefully we stomp them today...if I have to hear the warchant again while exiting another home USF sporting event I am going to be pretty miffed. Does FSU know we're their baseball rival?

Who thinks we should build an OCS?

We could also win a lot of games. That would be a nice way to get on TV over the summer.

I usually wait but I think I'll go ahead and remove him from the committed list now ... I heard he's a solid Starke commit at this point and we're out of the picture.

tickets cost 120 to a rutgers game? $30 party of 4 plus $10 parking and about $100 on food and drinks. At least it turned into a fun game. Sounds like the best deal in the US for an D-1 NCAA BB game. Geez what are you crying about? Wonder whether you will still be crying when ticket prices triple when we field a better team? Why would Rutgers triple their ticket prices when we field a better team? Why would they schedule us after this year?

RBs getting arrested is the new QBs decommitting at USF.

Open to the public? Live web feed?

I dont agree with that. Look at the head to head match ups. Look at the AAC's wins compared to the BIG EAST. There is no way the BIG EAST is better than AAC. The AAC is one of the top conferences out there this season. You will see what happens in the tourny. We may be looking at 4 teams in the Final Four from the AAC this season 4/4 from the AAC? Bull Daly, I think your 8 year old hacked your account and started posting under your name. Might be time for a password change. It will be nice to see!!! Imagine getting 4 AAC teams in the Final Four?? WOW!!! I may be a dreamer but even I dont expect to see that. We may only get two AAC teams in the Final Four this season There is no way you aren't bull-71.

Fandango is good and so is Tin Cup.

Stats are for losers!! - Bucs old coach No way that USF loses to DEPAUL.. And that right there, proves your data wrong We're too busy losing to #226 Detroit to squeeze DePaul in.

Only if you expect us to win.

I'll 100% give you that one. But I think Floyd accomplished more on the field than Holtz did, too.

My reply was to the original statement that the players under Holtz didn't actually want to get better, but under CWT, they all suddenly do. There is no proof of that other than people wanting to believe our players are better. The results say we're not there yet. Holtz was a bad football coach. but he's not the reason for every single thing thats gone wrong in the past 14 months.

I'm sick of the sadness on this board. I'll be optimistic until we look bad again. We look good for one day and people can't just enjoy it, they'd rather still complain. To say we could be real good this year off of some hypotheticals from seeing one Spring practice off of last year is making major leaps. I am not complaining, not sure if you were referring to me. I like your optimism, as I stated earlier, but I guess I am more realistic in my expectations for the coming year. I think we have a lot to look forward to as a rebuilding program in the future (hopefully near future). It's not specifically you, just the board in general. Are we bad? Sure. But offseason is where teams get better. And every indication I've seen is that the team is a lot more positive and wants to get better. That's what let's me believe. What did you see the last few years that made you believe the players wanted to get worse? Nobody wants to get worse. However, if you aren't properly motivated, you will get worse, because you aren't doing anything to get better. Tell me, does it seem like we were doing much to get better under Holtz's regime? There's an answer for that-we weren't. Getting better is a matter of doing something good. Getting worse, is well, a factor mainly of complacency and lack of drive to get better. One could argue 2-10 is worse than 8-5, 5-7, or 3-9. Or, one could just argue. That was why I posted the black hole pic. As I tend to be an "apologist" for our young coach going into his second season, JTrue is certainly that for our former coach with downward trending records over 3 years. It's like an alarm bell goes off for him, or slick for that matter, any time someone points out Holtz' failures. I have always said and will continue to say, Holtz 100% deserved to be fired. But it still doesn't change the fact that CWT has yet to do a single thing on the field better than Holtz. His first full recruiting class was absolutely better than any Holtz ever put together, but so far, he's 2-10 and had the worst offense in college football. He may turn out to be the best coach in history. I would like that a lot. But as of 2/28/14, he's long on potential and short on results.

With a decent level of confidence, I can say Mercer isn't finishing the year #1.
