    @Brad you may want to put disclaimers in these betting threads. If I lose money based on recommendations here I may be contacting you and you would then need to reach out to the lawyers on here for defense. 😏

    Ut Oh, @CousinKaren woke up! 🤪
     

    People on this forum recommended attending Bulls football games for years and no one ever sued Brad for that waste of money!

    Welcome to the Bullspen. Look forward to having her (and the family) join our Bulls family. There is a decent number of diehard WBB fans at USF who love all our players. I agree with your observation that we can't expect too much from an incoming FR right out of the gate. But we sure hope she becomes a big contributor. Any chance she can grow 5 or 6 inches over the summer? 😄

    Contact Governor DeSantis, he may know a guy who can help.

    I can see many schools being turned off by his “religious” praise and honor.  If we weren’t winning, many here would be cheapshotting him.  

    Who knows, maybe if Brian Gregory, Skippy, Charlie Strong and Jeff Scott gave glory to the Most High, they may have won a few more games. I'm all for it, let the man be himself and praise and honor who he chooses. Anyone who has a problem with it can go watch CBG's, CSH's, CCS's, or CJS's teams instead.

    Yeah I’m ok with that as long as they show up. The long term STH’s have suffered through too many terrible seasons so I can see why they are still learning how to be loud lol. As long as USF keeps winning they will get there eventually imo. 

    Or die first.. I'll bet lot of them are old people who just like to get out of the house to see what the youngsters are doing these days

    Correct! But it would be another well deserved accomplishment I'd love to see -- CAAR to finish his first season as coach of USF ranked in the Top 25 with a conference championship. WOW!

    We've gotten to the Top 25, now let's close this season out and win the conference baby!

    What should our name be?

    Just so we're clear my post was pure sarcasm bc it's ridiculous we change our name. I thought this whole thread wasn't serious my bad.

    Proud as well of my diplomas and love our name as it is a conversation starter for those who don't know about us. We are South Florida 😁

    I fully understood that, but was also slightly fearful it wasn't. I was just chiming in because there really are people out there who just don't understand why we have our name and give crap about it lol.

    What should our name be?

    If we were named The University of Tampa, we'd get hassled about being in Temple Terrace. 

    If we were named Tampa Bay State or Tampa Bay University, we'd get hassled about being no where near the bay of Tampa or stealing UT's name.

    We are the most southern university out of West Florida, North Florida, and Central Florida.
    Should we be West Florida? No because that's in the panhandle in Pensacola. What direction is Tampa within the state (without getting ridiculous -- i.e. "West Central", "Central West", "West, but not Pensacola West", "Central but not the actual Center", "South but not the very bottom") if we include the panhandle in directional names to mean West?

    WE. ARE. SOUTH. FLORIDA.

    Do you all think Abdur-Rahim could leave next year?

    Besides Seth and Willie, who else left us behind for better opportunities, leaving us in a worse situation? We've fired everyone else.

    An analogy for this is relationships. We've been dating all of these coaches we've had. We mostly break up with them because we always thought we deserved better. Now that we're in a solid relationship and things are going well, we're not confident enough in ourselves and what we can bring to the table to know we deserve the girl. We lack such confidence to believe that anyone would want to stay with us for the long haul and wake up everyday worrying she is going to leave us for the next rich guy with a nice car. We deserve to have the 10, we need to start acting like it and stop being so afraid of being alone. For some reason, we have this undeserved PTSD of being abandon, when in reality, it's not really happened with the exception of Willie, really...

    The same was said for Willie.

    I just don't think it's enough.  That's my opinion.

    As stated previously, He demonstrated a turnaround for KSU, I'm not sure who we stole him from.  For **** sure, more people will know about him and he may be on some short lists come end of season.

    Perhaps it's just wishful thinking. 

    Willie worked out great for us. He did go the route of seeking the bigger paycheck and chasing his own ambitions. Not everyone is destined to be at the top of the ladder, but some can be. I hope CAAR doesn’t follow the same route for our own selfish goals. However, simply because CWT wasn’t successful doesn’t mean everyone who takes his path of success won’t be. Also, CWT clearly isn’t the kind of guy you bring in and has success in his 1st season which larger programs demand (here we’re also talking football vs basketball programs and the ability for quick turnarounds). He made the same path at WKU and USF, it takes him 3-4 years to get his kind of thing going. I believe he lost his mojo when he landed at FAU, maybe a broken ego. The rest is history, his now enlarged net worth, and his coaching in the NFL.

    Correct.  The scarring to our fans is deep.  
     

    There is no doubt Coach has been great for South Florida but for a more prominent school to look at this season and try to admire the best win over FAU, a team that has been in a downturn since their peak last year doesn’t get it done.

    It's not about any particular win. It's about the overall body of work. We've been a program for a long time now and anyone who knows USF basketball would see we haven't had success (besides 2012) in a long time, but really 2012 was also a long time ago. It's about a guy who took a 1 win team at Kennesaw in his 1st season being able to go to the tournament in his 4th. That man came to South Florida to a team with no recent success and he is on the verge of having major success again with another team in just 1 season. When you're a program with money but no recent success like many programs out there, you look for a coach who shows promise/ potential based on his results and who the man is as a person. This is a great man we have leading our program and any program around the country would be so lucky to have him as their head coach. Just because his pre-made schedule this season didn't provide him with the opportunity to beat Duke (yet...tournament?), a very high percentage of coaches out there would not be able to do what he made happen here this season. Coach Gregory was her for enough seasons to prove that he certainly wasn't getting it done. A more prominent school doesn't need to see any one big win to see what kind of coach CAAR is and what he can bring to their program if he had their players, their tradition, their conference, their money, their facilities. He has shown the ability to duplicate his success and that's worth the risk to a flailing program out there who has resources but just needs the right man to utilize those resources.
