The problems run deep and they aren't likely to change:

1. USF Football competes directly with the Bucs AND Lightning in the local market. USF will always be 3rd, at best, during football season.

2. UF and FSU will always top USF in this market, from apparel in stores to general popularity.

3. This may be the biggest one. LOCAL MEDIA COVERAGE SUCKS!!!!!! I don't understand why this is not more offensive to more people. It makes me want to puke. The clowns on 620 WDAE almost go out of their way to NOT talk about USF. The National Media covered the Charlie Strong hire better than 620.

USF as an institution and we as ulumni/fans need to understand these facts and react accordingly. The excitement/growth has to be organic. It's the only way it's going to happen. The student body needs to be energized. An OCS needs to happen IMMEDIATELY. 

USF football and athletics in general will always be a niche product in this town. It time to cater to the diehards and let the growth occur naturally. A 35,000 seat (with ability to expand) OCS will be a start. They need to create exclusivity, which means fewer seats available. It's called supply and demand. It's the basis of all business.

A packed house means more excitement, better atmosphere at the game (and tailgate for that matter). The Green and Gold spring game on campus has WAY more atmosphere and school spirit than 90% of the Bulls "home games" at Ray Jay.

The problems are obvious and the solution is pretty simple really.

I meant to say "Presser" not pressure

620 is talking Lightning

820 has Laura Ingraham

The lack of coverage and respect for USF is appalling. 

1. I respect Willie for wanting to compete at the highest level and see what he can do. The goal of being the first black coach to win a National Title is a great aspiration. But, winning an AAC title first would have been a good first step.

2. There is a fine line with business and ethical decisions. Going after Charlie Strong is a **** move. Period. Burning bridges is bad business. Karma is a ***** and the business Gods have a way of handling these things. 

3. I think he is over his head at Oregon and will fail. He's not ready for that job. A good business man knows his limitations. He is chasing the money and I believe he will bomb at Oregon. He signed a 5 year deal here and didn't even finish the first year. He accomplished nothing. If he was as confident as he represents himself to be, he'd have stayed here and finished the job he started. Win a conference championship before you think you are ready for a National Championship.

4. My emotions have run the gamut. I was REALLY bummed when I heard the news that he was leaving. Then I wanted to wish him well and be grateful for getting us back on the map and stocking the cupboards with some great talent. Now...I'm getting a bit angry realizing he was a lot of smoke and no fire. Zero loyalty to USF. 

5. Next man up. Bring on Charlie Strong! 

These may be the best Uni's ever. I love the clean names, numbers and U.S.F. on the fronts.

Green jerseys, green pants like the good old days. 

I would love to make these a staple. No more white helmets!

GOOOOOOLLLLLLDDDD!!!

Quick shout out to Mugs and Jugs. Great customer service. They weren't sure if they had the game. Said they'd call me back and actually did.

I will be headed over for the second half with the family for lunch. GO BULLS!!!!!!

UPDATE: 504 is CW44 in HD.

Fingers crossed for 3:30. Go Bulls!!!!!!!

The ACC Network is showing on CW44 right now!!

Georgia Tech vs Vanderbilt 

Standard Definition but beggars can't be choosers. I don't think there is an HD CW44.

Yep. I'm with Slick.

I'm VPN -> Chromecast -> TV

Working just fine:

I'm unfamiliar with VPN. What is that?

Does anyone have a local spot that's televising? I'm in Palm Harbor trying to find someone with the ACC NETWORK.

That's not working for me either.

No it's free, make sure it's .Eu not .com site 

Ok, I'll try that. Thanks

I'm in Palm Harbor and have ESPN as well. I can also see the other ESPN 3 games.

I am currently trying to find a local bar/restaurant that's televising it. Striking out so far.

The FirstRowSports is asking for a credit card. I'm leery to give that out.

Hello All - I am hoping to get some help. I downloaded the ESPN PLAY app. I found the BULLS game on the ACC Network. But it's saying it's blacked out. Even the current games on there won't play.

I've got Frontier (formerly Verizon). I am able to watch the other ESPN channels on there.  Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there another way to watch it??

Thank You!
