He'll be half hizzle for the fsu team after they get done with him. Good thing he'll have the podium in front of him.

Murray up the middle power formation touchdown Nothing manlier than holtz football.

while I agree it's Not fair to fsu to put us on equal footing with them.

A great letter wish you could give them the pep talk in person.

Here's something I read in the comments section of Auman's blog and I thought I'd pass it along here as well, usf_football43 2 days ago I'm at a loss for words right now. Not even sure where to start with the current team and the noticeable lack of effort from multiple players. Mr. Lanaris can talk about accountability, but accountability is not the issue. The culture of the program has shifted dramatically, failing to incorporate what made USF successful from day one. Mr. Giddens, you mentioned how 'swag' is lacking among this current group of players. When you came to the program as the most heralded recruit in our history four years ago and said 'Why not?' after snubbing the University of Florida, I never envisioned our program would take such a significant step backwards under your leadership. Do you want to know what swag is Mr. Giddens? How about DeAndrew Rubin's 53-yard slant that buried Pittsburgh in 2001. What about Mike Jenkins stepping in front of a pass headed for the the hands of an Auburn receiver in 2007, silencing 80,000 Auburn faithful. Or maybe Jon Lejiste destroying a Florida State running back who dared to slip past our linebackers in 2009. Not to be outdone, Nate Allen annihilated a Florida State receiver who thought he could come across the middle on our safeties in the same game. That is what swag is predicated on. These players didn't talk about swag. Their actions on the field did. There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear. Mr. Lanaris... I insist that you can have my ticket in the stands this weekend. Let me suit up in your place. After I decapitate Chief Osceola before the game and pierce his head with his own flaming spear, I will treat every play as if it was my last play. And when there is no energy left in my body and they have to cart me off the field, one of my brothers will pick me up, take your jersey and will finish what I couldn't. You see Mr. Lanaris, that fire still burns in me on a daily basis as it does in the hundreds of players that stepped on the field before you. The green and gold blood that runs through our veins will go with us to our grave. This program was built on a blue collar work ethic established in 1996. I don't want to believe that the foundation that was laid 16 years ago has been lost upon this current group of players. I challenge you Mr. Lanaris and your teammates to find the blue collar work ethic that has long been entrenched in the composition of the players that preceded this team. Swarm to the ball. Punish the opposition. Pick each other up after every play. It's a blue collar recipe for success. I believe in you guys. Believe in yourselves. Get that 'swag' back. Respectfully, A South Florida Gridiron Alum

4 wins in conference I would be elated.

JESUS make it stop Lville now FAU??

Andre Davis yac is where its at. Mix it up.

Center sampson genus + last years o line

Just what I need. Besides vodka.

Heavy rotation give the offense a lot of movement to confuse ej manual ie show blitz but drop back into the slot. Put the game on chandler and watsons shoulders. Make sager and porkchop prove themselves again. Move Sam to middle. Keep lejiste in the game.

Lots of quality coaches would love to coach here/recruit here/live here for less than what skippy is getting. If you win games you'll get noticed and we have zero baggage at this school.

I am embarrassed for this team. No coach takes losing better than holtz in all of football.

They're both clueless.

Skip holtz made it seem like utc chat were world bearers and this fantasy rubs off on the players . This is south f*cking Florida....we may not win everygame but ur gonna remember every hit we lay on you.

Gold pants is garbage.

Need to dig up the ones that say selvie, Pierre-Paul, and nate Allen, and jaquain Williams.

Bj would've dropped 45 points on ball state if the defense did its job.

Crowd the sidelines

We have the secret pillow defense working for us right now. Make sure your players moisturize before the game.

Fiu was beating us for 3+ quarters at one time at ray jay so yea its not as bad as losing to ball state who we squashed last season.

All a part of his master plan to fool fsu.

If Bj could make a wide open throws then he'd look like an fng genious.

"3rd and Long John Silver" hahaha

More of Leavitts players on last years team and we beat them easily 37-7 with our backups going in after the half.
