Nebolsky

Let's not forget Houston's 2015 season where they were ranked 13th at 10-0 and lost to Connecticut.  They still went on to win the conference and beat Florida state in the peach bowl. 

All is not lost. Hopefully the coaching staff sees where they went wrong and make some changes. 

I just completed this quiz.

Neolsky and whose your data- you're missing the story line and the point and the messaging.  Adaptation is the talking point.  Not CWT or not giving Strong enough leash or other. Front and center: what you're doing isn't working so start thinking outside the frame.

oppositional is easy- reasoning is far more difficult.  

Look. I am not at all impressed with what I have seen from the offense the last two games.  I do agree that the play calling is questionable. However, I have seen worse play calling that resulted in a loss against an fcs team and 2 and 4 win seasons.  

I am just not ready to call for heads and am willing to wait until we get into conference play. I am sure they will make some changes because everyone has a point to prove. Guess I'm running on faith.

This is freaking hilarious.  For two complete season CWT tried desperately to be a power running team with players that were completely not fit for that scheme.  And now we get to hear stories about how great CWT was at fitting an offense around his talent?  Not hardly.

I think we need to give Strong and his staff more than two games that were wins before melting down.  But I especially think we need to stop with the revisionist history that CWT was a brilliant offensive mind that didn't stubbornly try to cram his system in, no matter the cost.  That is simply completely untrue.

Amen. I remember many nights of frustration with the offense under CWT. I'm glad he eventually got it together, but those were tough times.

I do agree that the play calling has not been what we are accustomed to (the potent aggressive style). But I won't go as far as saying it is atrocious, especially after game 2.  We had a few dropped passes that would have put us in some pretty sweet spots, and that's unfortunate.  

In terms of stubbornness, let's not forget it took CWT almost 2 and a half seasons to play to the players strengths (talk about square pegs and round holes).  

I have faith in our new coaching staff. They are not completely oblivious and don't see what we see. They have the same goal in mind.. Win. I don't see it taking 2 seasons to make changes. 

I do see one thing though, we are 2-0 in games we would have lost 2 seasons ago.  Let's put down the pitchforks and let the staff do it's thing. We can revisit this conversation around game 7. I hope to say "told you so, just needed a little faith"

Game is a nooner

That's what I thought at first.. But then I checked ESPN.com and it said 11. But now my ESPN app is dating noon.  Either way I'll be there. 

Anyone know where the away section is? I would prefer to be around fellow bulls. 

I'll be there!  Not a fan of early games, but I am able to make the drive down and back, so that works out!  Nothing like a pumped drive home.

Have we ever played a 11:00 game before?

I just read Joey Knight's TBT bulletin about college football magazines, and this quote from Athlon is just ridiculous:

"The initial wave of college football preview magazines has crashed upon newsstands, spraying hype all over USF.
But the adoration is accompanied by some snark. 

.....

Additionally, Athlon highlights this quote -- from an "opposing AAC assistant coach" -- about the Bulls:  
"They have real athletes in that program, and they can get them , but the school has to step up and look at UCF's level of commitment."

This has got to be a joke.

A few of us will be in the first row of Section 110.  Getting excited!

Thanks guys.

I will do my best to keep it up for the season.  As long as I can get a copy of the full game footage, I have no problem cutting it up.

Will be coming from Albany.  If we make it well ahead of kickoff, we would love to stop by.

I'll be there, headed in from Albany area.

Here is the Miami Beach Bowl game.

I will see if I can get my hands on any of those games.  The navy and temple games will be tricky since they aired on CBSSN.

I could have sworn USF said they would release each episode the following week from which it aired.  The "USF Athletics" YouTube channel has yet to upload an episode so far.

Although we haven't been doing much winning lately, I do enjoy hearing the back stories of the team and players.

Anybody know whats up?

2013 BSME

Never been so glad to see UCF lose.. Especially to FIU at home..  I think the stars are aligning for us this year.

He has 0 highlights right now.

Here's last years highlights.. Granted its only 28 seconds long, but there is one.

17-7 USF once again at Doak Campbell.  Got green goggles on already.

I live near Albany, NY.  Was thinking bout making the trip to Hartford as well.  Where can I find tickets to sit with other bulls?
