In a battle with Howard right now, don't know why I expected anything more.

CFB has changed since the Miami glory years. The atmosphere in pro stadiums doesn't compare, and USF needs a place that we own.

That said, in the current state of the program i don't think it matters where we play, we will be lucky to get 20k there.

We should get Scott Frost at the end of the year. Shown he can win in the AAC and I don't think he makes it through another year at Nebraska.

We are in year 3 of the CJS era. I'm past accepting blowout losses as "showing some life". CJS needs a bowl game this year and I don't think he will get it. 

The team looked completely unprepared. Could have been a statement game to start the year, but my hope for USFs season died in the first quarter.

There is being beaten by a top 25 team, and then there is this game.

We suck, and look completely unprepared.

Wow we are still awful.

This was the best possible scenario for USF, and college football as a whole. All teams now truly have a chance to make it into the playoffs. Now, maybe let's win a few conference championships...

Who the F do you guys think USF would get that would be better than Shoop?

It's a solid hire, I hope he does well.

What possible reason could you have for extending him, when next year should be a bowl or you're gone season?

In my opinion, we are seeing progress. But that hasn't translated into wins and if he can't do it next year he has to go.

Cincy beat some of our best teams. I hate them and Brian Kelly forever.

That wasn't a first down on the 4th down.

The fix is in. Cincy is good enough, they didn't need help from the refs

Don't do this to yourself.

The offense has seemed to really develop with McClain back there.

This defense is the worst we have seen since the Cosh years. Spencer unfortunately isn't cutting it. 

A consistent product and a ranked opponent would sell out the stadium.

Say we had another year of the QF era and this year's Cincy was coming (they are 8th I believe).

Ray Jay would be rocking.

Problem is, as soon as our team started to look decent the coach ran off and CCS was not the answer.

IF (and that's a big if) CJS gets this program back on track, he will get hired away. We can't miss with his successor like we did when we hired Strong.

Also, I'm not believing USF is getting a stadium until I see it going up.

I feel better than last week but this is still going to be a rough year.

I didn't watch the second half but I'm glad the team got a few scores to build on for next week.

I don't expect a lot, but I expect to see improvements each week. Hopefully McClain gets the nod next week before BYU.

I'm done with this game. Oregon and Ohio State has my attention right now.

The takeover of RayJay by Gator fans was gross to see, and ABC certainly loved those cuts to the crowd.

Our defense looks non-existent. Pretty surprising after that first drive. 

Florida looks to be the weakest they have been in years. It's such a shame that we got them in the worst years of our football program.

Offense was looking solid on this drive but it really feels like those 2 runs on first and goal from the 10 are going to hurt.

Alright Fortin. Need to see something on this drive.

Oh, so all it took was our rival leaving us behind to get some traction on this? Great.

The college football landscape will change once again, well before this thing is ever built. I am happy that the current powers are focusing on the future, (and I don't think there really is a too little too late scenario here until all conferences are at 16 teams), but this really just pisses me off about the past decade.

McMurphy and O'Leary are both cretins but they aren't exactly wrong.

Especially the 2014 comment. Boy did we look bad that year and have never fully recovered. Even in our best years of the Taggart era, UCF was better. A program that went 0-12 less than a decade ago!

Love Leavitt but that time has passed.

He wouldn't bring back the best days of USF. The once rising Florida school has been surpassed by many. We are not even a thought in the college football landscape. At best, he would have three marginal years and the university would fire him a second time. 

Not a big deal. If Fortin can't move the ball we will see McClain quickly. (Like 3rd or 4th drive quickly).

USF ain't winning this game. Give the kid another shot if you REALLY think he has something.

Tulane is playing well. Especially their defense (which is odd to say when OU has 40), but they are laying some hits.

OU is playing pretty carelessly though. Rattler has just thrown it up for grabs multiple times. They look like they were expecting a warm up game...that's not what they got.

What a depressing opening week to college football.

USF needs a stadium. Raymond James is an excellent facility. It isn't USF's home and we need to move on.
