  1. Okay, so me and the wife can't make it to Birmingham for more reasons than I can list so we're buying tickets to donate. I got the email from the alumni association about watch parties but was wondering if there are any others in the Hillsborough or Pasco area that anyone is going to? I'm looking for other options besides LRS on Boy Scout or Red Star Rock Bar.

    I can't fault him, but....

    It is very possibly just me, but College Football is slowly dying to me. The inequalities of the haves vs. have-nots is quickly taking all of the joy out of the sport for me. In the space of a week, the AAC has now lost ALL THREE of its top coaches. I'm slowly concluding that it's basically impossible for any of the G5 schools to get into "big time" football because no one else wants any more "P5-level" schools. Not the media companies, not the other schools, and not the other fans. Basically, the only people who want G5 schools to move "up" are those very G5 schools and they have no actual power to make it happen.

    So the G5 schools are now stuck in a system where they will be continually poached for coaching talent... over and over and over again. This will ensure that the P5 schools keep getting an influx of good young coaches, and it will ensure that the top-level G5 schools will stay there in the G5.

    I'm with you... the thought of continuing to show up every weekend to sit in a half empty stadium to watch us develop coaches for the "next level" is making USF football seem a lot less appealing. Especially when everyone wants to pretend that we are all on the same level in FBS but yet there is still a "next level" for good coaches. This sucks...

  3. This honestly has the beginnings of me losing interest in USF Football. I love USF and I love my Bulls but I guess I have to accept reality and reality sucks. I don't know why we pretend that there are 128 schools all competing for the same thing when it's obvious they are not. If the best we can ever be is a stepping stone for good coaches and having a maybe chance every now and then at a "big" bowl game that ultimately doesn't matter any more than the St. Pete bowl does... well, that reality sucks. I will still keep buying my season tickets and will still keep coming to the games and supporting USF, but I may be a lot less excited about it now. Sitting in a half empty stadium watching us develop good coaches for the "next level" is where we're at now. Go Bulls.

  4. I love the call to go for it. Why let up? So we won't hurt someones feelings? This is the system these days... you get credit for beating Ohio State and LSU by a touchdown. You don't get jack for beating ECU by a touchdown. With the teams we are playing, we have to beat them and beat them big to get any attention in the world of college football these days.
