  1. Tony isn't a random person, he has the ears of ADs. Hitman hoops is a Memphis fan, only posting pro Memphis stuff. His post carries equal weight to my posts about reaignment, he is rooting for Memphis.
  2. Big picture ..... I hope they turn the Claw into a giant parking lot, make almost all commuter students park there and take shuttles onto the main campus ...... Then, I hope they take some of the parking lots on the main campus, and turn them into that USF main street, with restaurants, bars and activities. (UCF area around the arena is great, would love to see something like that on campus. So, I love the idea of the main street .... but why not put it near the resident halls, and just move some of the parking to the more remote area. Edit to add propose site of that main street .... lots 17A, 17B, & 37 https://www.usf.edu/administrative-services/parking/documents/parkingmap.pdf
  3. Utah (if the ACC stayed mostly intact) would jump in a heartbeat. They want to be away from BYU.
  4. Last I heard Youth Large to XXXXL (I think the XXXL is sold out).
  5. Probably about a week before Fall classes start. (We traditionally start around 7/1, but will push back a little bit to sell down more of the current ones during the orientation sessions over the summer.
  6. If they lose 2, I bet they only backfill 1. (They are on an odd number currently). USF or UConn. But, if the Big 12 can't add any of the ACC, they may be more in play for us.
  7. I wanted to get a plug in for the Our Shirts. $6 each, they are a steal! Sold in the USF Bookstore which is open from 10-4 on Saturday, so I wanted to encourage anyone coming onto campus for the Spring Game to come a little early and pick up an Our Shirt (or a dozen). We have a lot left, and the money from the shirts helps SG provide funding for programing like the shuttles to the games for students. (lots of programing, all for the purpose of benefiting students)
  8. Those aren't assigned seats. Ticket master just needs made up row and seat numbers to count the distributed tickets. Section GA1 just means General Admission. FYI
  9. Even the best college teams only send a small portion of their roster to the pros, where the pro team is full of guys who were stars in college. The backups on the pros were stars in college.
  10. Football is just a small factor in DC points. They are a measure of overall athletic success. (schools that play more sports, score more points, which is why Stanford for example does so well) The story here: Of all the AAUs not in the P4, that play FBS football, USF is tops!
  11. I'm not sure it is an improvement for the Big 10 or SEC, and thus would be hard to get off the ground without their buy in.
  12. Winning men's basketball took a lot of the public focus away from spring football.
  13. Not sure the ACC Network is set up that way, with varying carriage fees. (not saying either way)
  14. Agree - I don't know how much we compete with the west coast teams, in that a league either wants west coast or not, and what we do has little impact. But until we find our next home, I can't root for any of the teams we may be in competition with.
  15. Wish him the best. He went from a starter to a role player (through no fault of his own). I can see where he would want more playing time. While I always want players to stay, wish him the best.
  16. I don't want UConn/SDSU MBB to win the Natty this year. (nothing against their programs) The schools we may be competing with for a spot in a power conference (UConn, Tulane, Memphis, SDSU, Pac 2) can only hurt us when they win.
  17. I loved our 9 player rotation this past year. It kept guys fresh, and coach seemed to trust all 9 of the guys on the court. Placer is clearly gone. Jennings and Brown are coming on and will likely be in that rotation. While the few guys on the team this past year who didn't get many minutes are all welcome back, I won't be shocked if any of them decide they want to transfer for more playing time.
  18. That is a thought. ACC much better league than AAC, that can work for or against a team's chances.
  19. My 2 cents. This isn't a money play. If he goes it is a chance to go home, and play in a league with a better shot at a Natty. I hope he stays, but he earned the right to do whatever he feels is best for him, and I will wish him well.
  20. Did he get the autograph. (Prior did come out and sign 20 minutes or so after the game)
  21. Easiest way is simply wait about 30 minutes after the game ends and every player ends up back in the arena to talk to friends and family. You can also try near the tunnel as the team comes on and off the court. (way before the game is best, once you get inside of 15 minutes on the countdown clock or in and out of halftime is very unlikely). Right after the game by the tunnel is also possible, but tougher to get in position. (Im not speaking for the player, just describing the best places to get autographs, up to the player to sign or not)
  22. I really like Robert. He was a good guy. His coaching tree took a hit this week, as both him and Steve Henson lost D1 head coaching jobs. Chris Capko will be a D1 head coach some day, who played for Robert. I wonder if this might be retirement? Wish him the best whatever he does. (not to be a smartass, but he was a lot like Jeff Scott, but with lots more success, in that he was a very likeable guy, who we wanted to win, but he just didn't win enough....... but I am not comparing his results to Scott, as Robert did much better)
  23. Personally, of the 4 they took, here is the order I value the schools: BYU (brings eyes to tv sets) UCF (lots of up side, great market) Cincy (recent success in football, historically good basketball, solid) Houston (Big 12 is fine in basketball without Houston, and Houston is such a non-factor even in the city of Houston) I have BYU easily ahead. UCF and Cincy close, and Houston way behind the other 3.
