RJ's Wings N Things (now rebranded RJ's Bar & Grille).

Great **** gameday wings.

This all comes down to the horrendous 3rd/4th and 1 playcalling on our last drive. That, and dropped passes in critical moments.

I feel confident in our QB for the next four years (assuming this program doesn't find a way to drive him away). The polish, improvisation, and accuracy displayed today is very encouraging for a Freshman. Not a perfect game, but I spotted several critical dropped passes that were thrown on point.

At least that 3rd time out rolls over to the next game.

Why would you run that play on 3rd and 1...

Why would you run that same play that just failed on 4th and 1...

I'm on the wagon

I suppose that would be fair as IIRC Flowers did not play his freshman year very much if at all

I remember we burned his redshirt in maybe the 3rd game of the season after Mike White failed to perform... Don't remember how much he played that year but remember not being impressed, but understanding his potential. McClain has more polish already.

EDIT: Looking back, I think White was re-named starter after Flowers didn't produce after a few games.

Let me rephrase my earlier comment: McClain in his freshman year > Flowers in his freshman year

I'm just extrapolating forward.

McClain > Flowers

I believe in the potential of CJS. I still think he's the right guy to build our program around. And the longer it takes for the program to be built, the more sustainable it could be long-term after he's gone (unless we hire another Holtz or Strong). Willie didn't get the bus rolling until halfway through his third season. Scott deserves as much patience, perhaps even more given the lower point the program is starting from (Willie took over a team that was in a BCS conference the year prior. Scott's took over a team I think 8 years removed from that kind of stature, and with stronger UCF/FAU/FIU programs to contend with for recruiting).

It's a new dawn, It's a new day, It's a new life for me, And I'm feeling good

Hell yeah! This is much better than the 8-team proposal I figured would be the result. This would be a massive boon to the AAC.

It's just a **** shame that this change will come just a few years into the AAC's current 12-year TV deal with ESPN. If we were renegotiating at any point after today, with this 12-team playoff on the table, our TV rights would certainly be higher. Not by a significant amount, but a noticeable amount sure.

One Marlon Mack for the Dolphins yes please thank you kindly.

Bring the Might.

Was it ever “back on”?

Laminate yesterday and stick it on the fridge.

I can fully understand how the ill aimed, horribly redundant negativity here would push some away .....

Time for the other half.

Good to see CJS making an impact with recruiting. This was always going to be a multi-year, ground-up rebuild, and it’s hard to expect better than what CJS brought in when you’re coming off a 1-win season.

I’m **** sure CJS will have the football program looking healthy again quicker than the culture of this forum will be healthy again (if it ever can with some of the characters here). This forum will never thrive again, even if Bulls football is thriving, until the bull**** goes away. Any lurker (let’s say a USF freshman) thinking about getting involved in the community would be repulsed by the discussion here.

I think if it happened in year 3 or 4 we would have had a lot better chance (assuming CJS had built the way we're all hoping for) of success, though. Missing all the teaching and evaluation done in Spring and the missed summer practices put him behind in the rebuilding process ....

This season was always going to be dead weight, COVID or no COVID.

I could understand an argument that we could have won more games with Strong, but that would have been at the cost of another year of Strong’s “culture” (or lack of) infect our locker room, and set us back further on the path of long term success.

In a way, Scott is lucky that this screwed up season happened at the very start of his time here, and not in year 2, 3, or 4 where it would have screwed up a good team.

He’s still the guy.

Remember when Brad tried to get the “characters” here to tone down the BS back in January? Good times.... glad to see that worked out as well as anything in 2020 can work out.

Unfortunately, apparently, yes.

Horrible **** loss, RIP.

An empty, broken chair is an upgrade over Joey.

Is brybull still standing on the ledge, posting new BS threads every 5 minutes about how we should be playing in Divison 4?
