Love Chick-Fil-A but I Wouldnt be bragging to much about the Chick- Fil-A. Esp with all the crap that they have been getting in the news lately. Not a good time to be them.

Greg Auman is reporting he committed to UF. (Best of luck and hope you change your mind). Would be nice to see him in the Green and Gold. Now why cant Hargreaves get his own son to committ and buy into USF? Do we need him recruiting for us if he cant get his own son? Just saying.

There are alot of options out there. Airforce, BYU, UNLV, Nevada, Fresno. Navy is coming on board, I dont see them backing out of their committment. 5 million is alot to not come to the BE(TCU).

Give them to the Miltary personel at Mcdill, give them to the Boys and Girls Clubs, ( they may become future Bulls fans and or players when they grow up). Give them to Metro Ministries. Just use them for someone. Also have the non marquee games something special (one game could be Band day, free ticket to band student and a parent) (little league Fb day, free ticket for player, parent and coaches)(cheerleader day). We can find bodies to put in seats. We need to think outside the box We have to have the Students show up in force as well. NO EXCUSES this year. Start spreading the word on campus now and everyday until it catches on.

No excuses, " We must protect this house" No losses at home. Unacceptable. With that said we as fans need to do our part, We need to pack the place, no empty seats, no empty student sections. We need the Ray Jay to be loud and a difficult place to play. We need to be the 12th man.

Im talking about using the tickets that were purchased, not buying additional or those the school, radio station would give away. We have 12,001 student section(should be full every game, no excuses) We have 20,000 season ticket holders proby right? If you have tickets dont let them go to waste. Make sure someone is in your seat. Im not talking about the visiting fans, walk up sales or those the school gives away to sponsors and others.

Like the non geographical divisions, Split the Fla(USF/UCF) and Texas schools (Houston/SMU) up. Have the yearly cross over rivalry game. (USF/UCF). It would build rivialries, increase attendance, decrease travel(1-2 cross country trips a year at most), gives all schools games in Fla and Texas at least every other year which will help with the Brand and recruiting. Like the Name American and National or something in those line.

Why dont we do our best this year to make sure every ticket sold or given away is used. I know things come up, people cant make games ect..... But if you cant make it, try selling them, if you cant sell them donate them to boys and girls clubs, give them away. Do what ever it takes to make sure someone uses your tickets. Lets use every ticket issued and put butt in seats. Lets try and build a home field advantage, and start the home winning streak again.

BE has to have the game on the higher seed campus or roatate it every other year, One year in the East one year in the West(on campus). Has anyone seen the attendance for the ACC Champ or Big 10 Champ Game? Horrible.(last year Big 10 was in the news for paying people to attend the game, it was a PR nightmere). So to increase attendance you have to have it on campus. http://deadspin.com/5863863/someone-is-offering-to-pay-people-75-to-attend-the-big-ten-championship-game As far as divisions go, I like the Non Geographic divisions, Split the FLA and Texas Schools up. It gives each side Exposure in both states. It also limits the cross country travel to once or twice a year at most. Also it would put USF and UCF in different divisons( we could play for the BE Championship). USF/UCF needs to be a cross divisional game like SMU/Houston.

Considering who we are playing I dont expect a Huge crowd anyway for the USF game. It will be the Typical Diehards(myself included) and the other 30,000 or so. As for playing at noon? Def not up for that. Ray Jay in Sept at Noon is Brutual, not only for the players but the fans. Cant tell ya how glad Iam USF plays night games. I sit out there on Sunday Afternoons for Bucs games and we die. Its crazy hot, Take the outside air temp and add about 10 degrees or more to it. Esp if we are packed in tight.

So who will likley see the decrease in security on that Sat, USF or the High School Games? You move the games to Sat, same time as the USF game, after the police work all week for the RNC security. To me it doesnt look like they fixed the problem. Also if we have to worry about a High School game taking away fans from our game than we have bigger issues to worry about with our fan base.

You may want to look back to the GO USF BULLS website. http://www.gousfbull...TCLID=205360023 So we would do something illegal and post it on our website, Not Happening. It was more of a scheduling conflict and Skip chose the Golf Trip.

Exactly Coph Still affects overall record for USF (Wins/losses).

With PSU getting hammered(rightfully so) USF now can add a win to the total wins. We lost to them in 2005. PSU has to vacate all wins dating back to 1998. Goooooo Bullls

WOW this is an Epic Fail, What is Skip thinking, or in this case NOT thinking? Hard to get the players to buy into the program and play for the name on the front of the Jersey(not the back) when the Head Coach is busy playing golf out in Nevada during such a huge event at the school. Yes Skip deserves time off, but you dont take off when you have High school athletes coming from all over , ESP when its football players. You stay and put the program first. MAJOR FAIL SKIPPy!!!!!!

He should worry about his own legal issues like the DUI last year in Tally. The guy is a 24 year old punk who appears to be drunk again today with his tweets. Apparently he not only drives drunk but tweets drunk as well.

Yeah it does, but than someone asked him how come he is telling us ahead of the allegations and he said he " I didnt give details, Im just working on something" Kinda like a teaser , So until we here anything if we ever do from the NCAA I dont take anything this clown says with a grain of salt. Jason What is the link and what did Rivals have to say? Also please share what "THIS" is?

Not too worried, Never heard of this guy until the post above, than just read his tweets and see he is nothing more than a local beat writer. Anyone who has any credibliltiy and covers the ACC(Miami or FSU) Like he does , is in Greensboro for their yearly fb media days. This guy appears to be a tool looking to stir trouble and get followers.

Why would a Miami Beat reporter be in Tampa instead of Greensboro. He tweeted it had to do with Violations. Than he kinda retracted a little when someone questioned him on it. He said details to follow and he was working on something. Wonder if it has anything to do with us, or is it Miami / UCF related(both in trouble with the NCAA). Could we be really lucky and it be nothing at all or the all about Miami and them being kicked out of the ACC? Wishful thinking on my part.

Agree Data, Too much gloom and doom by our own fans. BE is as good or better than it was with the additions and defections. The future coul dbe very bright if its done right. We have qualtiy programs coming in (Boise) Large TV markets in Houston, SD, Philly, ect... We will finally have a FB Championship game. This is the perfect time for the BE to make a splash and do something big. Those with the doom and gloom have bought into the ESPN Bias and havent really looked at the Bigger picture. We need a Commish to negoatiate a TV deal( with or without ESPN), we need to have our bowls negoatiated, we need to have a voice in the Playoff money disturubition. We could sit back like these whinners and let the world pass us by, or we can stand up and get right in the middle of it.

How did the coach keep his job after this scandal? If it happened(sanctions, fines, loss of wins, championship ect..) at the College level he would had been fired.

Cant wait, I hope we have a strong showing in the stands. Ill be there with my group.

As a Fan I want BOTH. lol It would be huge to beat FSU this year esp if they come in as expected ranked in the TOP 10. However beating them and not winning the BE would be a huge disapointment and really nothing would be gained in the long run. So Id say we need to compete and keep it close( if we win great, if not than nothing lost as long as we win the Conference). Im sure everyone would take an FSU loss and a BE Championship anyday over a FSU win and a 4-5th place BE finish and a Beef O Brady Bowl bid.

Take that 40 million or so we got from Pitt, Cuse, TCU and WVU and offer someone like Slive from the SEC or another SEC guy. Give him 3- 5 million a year. We can secure him at least 10 years without spending any money. This will stablize the conference, help with TV negoataions and give us a seat at the Big Boy table.
