I am with you... I am not predicting us to win the conference or anything but after watching the UCF and Houston game I definitely like our chances to go bowling. Imagine if we have 5 wins going into that game against UCF with a bowl game on the line. I know our guys will show up and play balls to the wall for that game and it should make for an awesome game!

This is an awesome pick up for us! Taggart and staff have shown us they can recruit. Once we start getting some winning seasons under our belt again the recruiting will only continue to improve. Anyone who doesn't think Taggart and staff can recruit, hasn't been paying attention.

Their pass defense hasn't looked that spectacular in this first half against SMU. I think if our defense gets some pressure on their QB and if our offense can get something going in the air and keep the time of possession close to even if not possibly slightly in our favor, I think this could be a good game for us. Of course, it all depends on which USF team shows up for this game.

I sure hope he'll be back in time for the homecoming game.

I'm glad this is a late game so I can get a proper tailgate on!

I'm still on the bus, hanging on for the bumpy ride but confident it will get smoother!

This is awesome news! Definitely the kind of scheduling we need!

That was Adams. That's right, I forgot who it was. Still, two weeks in a row when a nice pass has turned into an interception. Our receivers have to help White out a little more. It will be nice to get Andre back!

That interception hit him RIGHT in the numbers! It was pretty much a perfect pass! He's gotta catch that ball! Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't he the one responsible for the pick six against UConn last week?

I've been a Mike White guy since I saw him play in his HS state championship game. He has definitely had me questioning him at times, but I think he is the guy and he will help get us some more W's on the schedule this year.

I definitely saw some positives, but the penalties and the two costly turnovers really killed us! Especially the fumble which would have had us in the redzone. I was getting pissed with all the penalties but I also had to remind myself that for a lot of these guys it was not only their first college road game in that kind of environment but for quite a few it was their first college road game period! Our receivers have really got to help White out a little more.

I had a lot of fun even in the rain. There were definitely positives to take away from the game and I would have liked for us to have won by a little more but I'll take the win. I hope we build on this and get a few more before the season is done.

It makes me wonder why we haven't gone this route already. Clearly this coaching staff doesn't have a problem with playing the young guys if they give us a better chance to win.

Our O-line is without a doubt our biggest problem. I'm not entirely sure any quarterback, no matter how talented, would provide us with anything other than sub-par play behind this line. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't our O-line some of the most experienced players we have out there now?

This. I am definitely not happy with how we played on Saturday and I was extremely pissed off after the game. Once I had time to cool off, I'm still upset with the performance but I am trying my best to continue to be patient. I think we can and will win this game Friday. UConn is the only conference game we have won in BOTH of the last two horrific seasons and they certainly don't look as if they have improved any. That puts us back at 2-2 and still on track to somehow show some improvement this season. Our O-line has got to improve drastically though, but I will still be there no matter what to support my Bulls.

Apparently the cost of the electricity is already not being covered by the number of fans showing up. Looks like Friday nights game will be played in the dark.

I told my wife it will get to the point where money is being lost just for the cost of electricity to open RJS for Bulls games if things don't turn around soon. On our way out tonight we heard a beer vendor saying there was no way in hell he was ever working another Bulls game.

I will always love my Bulls and support them but it's getting more and more miserable as the games go by. I am a donor, a season ticket holder, me and my wife tailgate... we spend a lot of money to keep watching this garbage every week. Something has to change soon! I was feeling confident after the game last week even though the offense and special teams was bad but this week we went right back to where we were at last season. I'm so pissed at the performance today!

GOLD!!! I'm watching the latest USF Football tv show and I'm getting so pumped up right now!

I always bought the cheap parking pass when I was a student and never took the Bullrunner. I always walked a ton to get to and from classes. Since I was so busy with work and school it was the only exercise I could get a lot of the time. I don't have a problem with a parking situation that would make me have to walk a bit to get to an OCS. With that said, my wife is pregnant so I would hope that maybe they would have closer parking available for expectant mothers coming to the games. I've been considering increasing my donation next year... if they presented me with an opportunity to increase my donation with the assurance that a portion of that was going towards building an OCS I would jump at that.

So are you going to be at the game that week, or are you in town for other reasons?

The only problem with the UConn game is that I work in Sarasota and I'll be in the field that day. By the time I get home to Tampa, take a quick shower and head to the game I would likely only have time to say "Hi, nice to meet you" before heading in for kickoff. It kind of defeats the purpose for me because I would like to have the time to throw a few cold ones back and socialize with some fellow Bulls. So, with all that said, Saturday games work better for me.

Me and my wife have been at every game for several years now and we've sat there and cheered our Green and Gold hearts out even during these last few losing seasons. We've watched the attendance dwindle and dwindle and it's been upsetting but we can see and feel that things are changing. I've had friends in the past who would come to games with me when we were winning and they don't seem to have much interest now as hard as I try at times. But for as small as the crowd was last Saturday the feeling in the stands was different than it has been at some of the games of the past few years, even when slightly more people were still showing up. You could feel that the fans that were there were really starting to believe in our football team again and that will be contagious. It won't happen overnight, but as the wins get more frequent that belief in the team will grow, and then it will spread. First it will be a few extra fans here and there, and then they will start believing again and they will spread that to a few more fans, then a few more. Things are starting to change and if you were at that last game you would know what I'm talking about. We got extra tickets to the season opener and brought some extra family and friends. I just bought extra tickets for the UConn game for some family coming into town. My sister, who graduated from Florida Southern, she said after going to the season opener it made her wish she had gone to USF instead. People are starting to take notice, and they will come. Harlan has the right idea with putting a lot of focus on the students. They will be alumni at some point. It's not just about getting back the bandwagon crowd we lost when the team starting losing, it's also about inspiring new fans to get excited for us to start winning again. We have to win back the old fans, but we have to focus on creating the new fans too. Who knows, the new fans might be more likely to stick with us.

I like Harlans enthusiasm and energy and I think he's doing some things to get us moving in the right direction as far as student involvement and attendance goes. I like that he came from somewhere that was dealing with some of the same issues we have such as an off-campus stadium. I know it's early but so far he seems to be a good hire by USF!

I think if White is healthy you start him. If he's not close enough to 100% then let Bench start and give White another week to heal.
