USF getting slighted here, they are new to success so I get it but I dont think Syracuse NC schedule by Dana's view is twice as hard as ours (when you include the UGA game) Toughest: vs. San Diego State (Nov. 9 at Battle of the Midway), vs. Temple (Dec. 22 in NYC) Next-toughest: Princeton (Nov. 21), at Arkansas (Nov. 30), Long Beach State (Dec. 6), Detroit (Dec. 17)

Does anyone really believe a once #8 Arkansas program doesnt have the talent to beat UL Monroe, Rutgers, etc? Its coaching, then maybe effort but it aint talent. Tino Sunseri and Ray Graham beat our asses in previous years but this years team cant seem to shoot straight. Did they get less talented?

Couple of noles fans behind the pirate ship at halftime picking a fight with a USF kid while in the beer line. I doubt these knuckleheads attended FSU as one was saying he was a marine and would beat everybody down. This one incident, which was all bark and no bite was the exception. I have to say Ive been up to Tallahassee plenty of times and this crowd is not what I would consider representative of the student body when I was there. Some of the ladies being the exception-

I walked alot of the tailgate and sat near the student section so I had a view of much of the non-USF heavy areas. No way no how it was 80/20%. The warchant and red seats (of which many were still visible) did not help the appearance of this however. Obviously the reason so many FSU fans were seen leaving together is they stayed to savor their W whereas USF fans trickled out over the 4th quarter. The stadium got loud when FSU was on offense, so much so noles players were quoted saying as much in interviews following the game. The game MAY have positively impacted recruiting efforts from initial reports and season ticket holders that Ive seen sit through other games were on their feet and yelling most of the game. I agree, we wont see this level of participation again for awhile but it wasnt as bad from this fan's perspective as others seem to have made it out to be.

There is a rumor going around that certain lots will open at 11am. Will try to substantiate-

Just checked for someone, they are down to Row Z Section 340. A bunch of scattered singles in the 200 section as well. Should be officially sold out by morning.

1) USF 2) 28-27 3) Daniels 4) Davis 5) 275

Tickets are still available on TM to certain passcodes.... A quick check shows 308, 339, 340, some as low as row E.

Forget Meredith. Im happy to see she got brought on after her MJ gig went down the tubes but that morning show is not entertaining at all. That show is not about sports talk, nor should a morning show be pure sports junkie material anyway. Mike and Mike have set a standard that morning sports radio be personailty driven. The Dinger and that gang dont have what it takes and its easily the weakest program on that station.

Curious where this is stated as a confirmed sellout? Got an email minutes ago from USF asking if I wanted to buy more tickets.

can you tell me where the stock market will finish for the year? transitive property doesn't work for college football, genius. Yeah, stopped reading halfway thru when I saw Ball State as the yardstick to compare FSU, USF and Clemson. The frustration comes from the where program was going and state of it now. Much as FSU fans claimed we got them in a down year, USF can say the same.

No, and it's a reflection of the leadership. The team takes on the personality of the coach. Just compare Holtz to Leavitt. I've never seen Skip get really fired up or angry. Here we go again. We go through this at least once a year now since Skip has been here. We're still losing the same teams as we lost to with Leavitt at this point. Skip's sideline demeanor has NOTHING to do with the reasons we win or lose. Somewhat unrelated, but are you saying you dont long for when .500 wasnt good enough? I wasnt around then, but it sure looks good right around now- http://www.jimleavittmustgo.com/conference.html

BJ set the bar high. Unfortunately there are many players that make a splash and spend 2-3 years failing to live up to expectations. BJ just happens to be that type. Teams know his game and it can be defended, apparently.

Louisville, Uconn and Pitt get it done today. FSU looks much better than Clemson so far so assuming that game goes to FSU, the bulls will get a chance to cut the head off the snake in two weeks. Would go a long way in redeeming this loss. It can happen.

FYI the latest revision on how to buy extra tickets worked this time. Picked up some extras at request just a few minutes ago-

September continues to be an exciting month for Bulls football. Your Bulls are currently 2-0 and face off against Rutgers this week in the Big East home opener. Florida State is coming to town on the 29th, and we are expecting a full stadium. Beginning at 9am on Friday, September 14th you will be able to purchase up to 4 tickets for the USF - Florida State game using the password: . Using the password provided, go to http://www.ticketmaster.com/ and search for “USF Football†and select the USF vs. Florida State game.

You can goto the site and buy the tickets, its just there are none left as of 9:01am. There probably werent any to begin with. It also says on TM the game starts at 7:00pm FWIW

The part that hurts is that RU is not a good team. Their offense is below average and could have easily scored another 10 pts on usf. Turnovers were the difference between two teams playing bad football. Usf end zone turnover and punt fumble were killers.

A couple things, I was at the game, attendance was no better or worse than usual. If you had moved 300 level people down into the 100/200 those bowls would have been just about full. What are expectations for attendance? Both teams looked gassed, a typical sloppy big east football game. Both teams on 5 days rest. Wall street troll is a troll. He's here like any other troll, for attention. Anyone who goes on msg boards bigging themselves up is a lonely soul, so take pity on him. Usf fan or fraud, no difference. All that said. Not much changed from last year, apparently senior leadership may be a myth at usf.

At first I read that as "crabs here", which may be have been more appropriate

The only quality post in this thread. I'm almost ashamed at the lack of creativity by the rest of you. Although a lack of creativity isn't really surprising with our fan base. I feel sick every time I see one of our fans doing Texas' Hook 'em Horn's. So Mr. D-bag, and what's your idea? Seems to me that based on the this comment you must commute to wall street from New Jersey. I would just go signless. Its a football game not WWF Wrestlemania. And yes I do commute to work from New Jersey. Bergen county. Ever heard of it? Nope. You seem to think it is special though. Nice neighborhood? Its only the 20th wealthiest county in the country. No big deal. I think you meant North Bergen. Right near the city as you know.

Clueless writer can have fun on his road trip to south Florida while the game goes on in Tampa

all our TDs came from outside the red zone and they fumbled 2x inside of it. what a game edit. murray 1 yd td in the red zone...still.

If it makes anyone feel better there is a coach about 90 minutes north of Tampa that's going to be in hot water with Skip

No reason to give up on this game. Announcer said they had 6 turnovers last week, 11 penalties. They aren't this good and we arent this bad. USF had better sack up, soon.
