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. I'm not necessarily looking for Holtz to scream at his players. That's not passion, that's screaming. However, with our "sense of urgency" that gets mentioned in interviews, there doesn't seem to be that passion for playing football. Andre Davis not going for the catch on the sideline in the 4th quarter against Rutgers? Murray not hitting the holes like he wants to mow someone over? Where's the Lejiste that used to try to knock someone's head off each play? Both Nevada and Rutgers played with passion -- intense and purposeful. I guess my frustration is knowing what we could be, not what we are. We could be that great team. With all that, I've put this last week behind me and am now starting a new week with Ball State on the docket. It hasn't been easy, but hopefully there will be much more intensity this week....

There's something to be said for that...

In watching the other games, it is obvious that we lack any passion for playing. Our coaches and players talk a good game, but even in their interviews, there isn't excitement. We seem to be non-chalant about everything. Blocking is casual, our defensive backfield plays off opposing receivers, our running backs don't hit the holes with authority... Am I wrong?

Here we go! 1) USF 2) 27-24 3) Daniels 4) T-Rex 5) 401

Here is from their newspaper... http://www.nj.com/rutgersfootball/index.ssf/2012/09/rutgers_injury_update.html

Anyone know if this was recorded and where we can watch it?

Love the Five Question Friday! Thank you for posting so I can avoid work a little while longer... 1) I'll spend time with my four-year-old son working around the house and then sit back and watch the Bulls beat Nevada 2) No chance on making a road trip this season except maybe the bowl game 3) A BE Championship is neither more nor less likely. I think we are still in the thick of things, although Cinci looked good last night... 4) Favorite memory is sitting in the stands during #5-ranked WVU's beatdown. When Groethe scrambled around and hit Mitchell down the sideline (followed closely by Lejiste's hit on FSU's running back and nearly taking his head off) 5) Tamplona -- hands down!

Congratulations, Bulls!

Channel 1137 (HD) in Brevard's Brighthouse as well...

1) USF 2) 20-17 3) BJ Daniels 4) Griffin 5) 356 My "pulls it out of thin air" analysis: Bulls reverse last year's trend by WINNING in the last few seconds of the game. The defense takes the season into their own hands and shuts down the Wolf Pack passing game. Nevada's running game still scares us and they make more 3rd down conversions than we would like, however. The O-Line still shows it's raw and makes critical holding penalties (one touchdown gets called back because of holding) making Shank go berserk in practice next Monday.

You go to the concert and enjoy the moments with her.... Years from now, this opener will mean nothing to you but her memory of the moment will. Enjoy the show!

Here are my bold predictions: 1) Bulls 2) 49-14 (garbage touchdown late will make it this score) 3) Marcus Shaw 4) Andre Davis 5) 459 Yards BJ will only play one half as Matt and Bobby will each play a quarter. Skip and crew will still keep it close to the vest (will only throw seven passes past 20 yards, but will have five short passes that go at least 20 yards after the catch) Bulls defense gets five sacks, led by Luke Sager with 1.5 sacks

It has to be about Miami -- can't imagine violations, unless it deals with people tweeting prospects or something related...

How much would you want for them? I've never bought season tickets before but am interested in these...
