How are we doing on timeouts?

Still got all three!!!

So far this game is not... very entertaining.

Is it just me or does the ref look like a serial killer?

+1

Ref looks nuts. Prob mad he has to call this game...

Floyd has decent accuracy

Never been so happy for a touchback

Well that sucked

Need FSU to be poached to even have a shot...

That's the conventional wisdom, but... you never know.

For whatever it is worth. We won't be going backwards, I'd imagine some form of a reorganized Big East existing before we join CUSA.

+1

blaming Jim Leavitt is a joke, right?

wtf did that man ever do that wasn't getting this team further along somehow?

Really tired of people pissing and moaning about how bad USF has it when the fact that we didn't even have a team very long ago gets conveniently forgotten. NO--- we can't be happy to be where we are-- which let me tell you is probably further along than we deserve. Especially frustrating is listening to those fans who decide it is better to give up on a team the minute they start losing.

I mean disband.

Seems to me lots of people hate the Big East and are licking their chops to publish ANYTHING negative about it. Aresco is doing his best to dispel the BS but it's coming from all angles.

Don't know about you guys but I'm just about done with all of this realignment crap. I don't want to participate in this BS university-on-university fashion show. I love my university but don't hate the others or begrudge them for not wanting to be left out in the cold. This whole system is a big pile of ****. Back to NFL football...

I don't see how doing that would make any financial sense to anyone in the BE. No way it gets disbanded.

Seems like a ridiculous option to me. I doubt it happens, but who knows.

Happy thanksgiving, guys! I'm thankful that there are folks like you as interested in USF athletics as I am... Sometimes it gets lonely up here in the land of the savages (Tallahassee)...

McGillis should be canned.

No way! I like this guys enthusiasm and love for the university. Getting kind of old hearing people piss and moan and wantibg to firing everybody who is associated with USF athletics.

Not sure how McGillis could have changed the fortunes of our football team. He may work closely with Woolard but Woolard is still his superior. And he has nothing to do with coaching. He does respond to emails (and thus responsive) and was genuinely enthusiastic about improving our uniforms last year and the school in general. Don't know what more we could want from someone in his limited position.

I just hold out hope for a news conference Dec 2nd or 3rd.

I think you'll be disappointed, but who knows... I think Calvin Magee is under the radar enough that we could bring him back even in a year with lots of HC positions open in the SEC. I'd like a coach who is truly vested in how USF does, kind of like how Leavitt was...

And Jim , Skip, and Doug couldn't get it done. It is what it is.

This presumes that a better record would have made a difference. Not sure it would have. ACC would still have FSU and Miami, and Big 12 would still not be contiguous to Florida. USF waited too long to start a football program - that's the bottom line.

I know of a big donor that is happy with Holtz.

That donor must not be paying attention. Any reasonable person would at least have some doubts, even if he thought Holtz deserves another year.

Wish she would do what Cincy did and let us know they're at least working on it.

They are working on it but its going down something like this

Receptionist: Big 12 conference offices how may I help you?

Judy: This if USF President and I

Receptionist: Maam please hold, you will be handled in order and your number is 8.

While across the talble Doug is on phone

ACC Swofford: Hello, FSU

Doug: Swofford no its Doug at USF

Swoffoerd: WTF you calling me for right now I am trying to save the ACC, shut up for a minute- Beamer hey buddy - click

Doug: Swofford? you still there

Funny, but I bet Woolard's already called everyone he can, and there's nothing more for him to do except monitor the situation, wait patiently for a return phone call, and give CSH another extension.

Does heaven have 4G service? Maybe Leroy can still make a call.

+1

We could definitely use LRS' help right now...

At least SOMEONE said SOMETHING.

+1

Very hard to make a case we'll win either remaining game with a redshirt freshman quarterback and our secondary. At this point, I'm just hoping we don't get embarrassed.

We're 3 - 7. Too late for that.

True, although I meant in those particular games...

- "fans should know pres genshaft and doug are engaged" and having the types of conversations youd expect from a big east school

- we will end up in a good situation (whatever that means)

- gonna continue opening with FCS schools, 8 conf games, 3 FBS schools; 2 from power conferences, 1 from mid major. Talked to oregon, usc, ohio state, SEC

- wouldnt entertain speculation about uconn or ul leaving, said ru leaving wasnt "lethal"

Dont have a link. Anyone else catch this?

No. Good to be reassured, but should be expected.

I don't think losing the next two games will make a difference. CSH will be here next year. All I can do is hope fo a couple of wins, both to reward these kids and build something positive for next year. And some game experience for Floyd and others, which will help us regardless of who's the coach one or two years from now.

Wish she would do what Cincy did and let us know they're at least working on it.

This is America. We don't fire our leaders just because of years of inenptitude.

Good point.

I haven't seen anything to suggest that next year will be better than this year. That's the fundamental problem. Only a few positives to this as far as I can tell:

(1) Fewer vacancies in SEC, so we might have a better shot landing a better head coach to replace CSH

(2) Both Woolard and CSH will be on notice that next year is CSH's last chance to turn things around (none of this "one more year" nonsense)

(3) Saves money that could be used in other ways

CSH's fate will be tied to whomever he chooses to replace Cosh and Smith (I think Smith is also gone), so he'd better choose wisely!

these statements mean nothing

Sure they do - at least as much as the hearsay statements made by others that they're considering leaving. The other option would be "no comment."
