It can't. If one could, Lightning would have played there ....

Very true, only said that because OSU and Wis both use the same arena.

Agree…would love to see it some day. 

Unfortunately, I don't see how a hockey ring can fit in the Sun Dome so that would require a whole new arena and that ain't happening without some serious coin.

Trust me if they moved up to D1, B10 hockey no one on the current team would be on it. 

Obviously haha, but if they keep winning like they have they deserve at least a fundraiser to move them up like the women's crew team did.

that’s a good one

A man can hope haha. They are a team that is certainly deserving of it though.

Big 10 should be the ultimate goal. We have the academic profile and location the big 10 wants we just need to get the 2 major programs winning consistently 

Also make Hockey D1

You don’t think that 2nd Quarter is why they took their foot off the gas? 
We played better than I thought we would, but we’re not a very good team. 

Florida look like a team in the second half that was trying to get The clock run out before playing the number one team in the country next week. 

They were taking us to the house.

I'm not saying that we are great team, but watching the game as a whole that was the only point of the game where we looked worse than last week. Overall the D needs to relearn how to tackle, and the Oline needs to stay consistent one way or another (they looked great in the 1st qtr.) I like the adjustments that Glenn Spencer made in the 2nd half regardless if it was the 2nd team O. 

Honestly, optimistic baring the coaching staff giving up on this team in the 4th. Take away the God awful second qtr, this is a 1 point game. I don't know what happened to the Oline and D in the second qtr, but they definitely looked like an improved unit in the 1st qtr and second half. If Timmy is not the starter for the remainder of the season, this coaching staff needs to be axed, because regardless of the freshman mistakes he made last week, when Timmy comes in this O has a different feel to it.

USF wins in an upset for the ages as Florida is focused on Bama

27-24

Battie

Weaver

400

All 3 on the ACC Pregame show have NC St close at the half and then pull away in the 2nd half.

Unis look good on the field

Tonight is interesting.  Our games are on at roughly the same time.  Oviedo playing in the bounce against Boise.  I’m sure it will be sold out and have a lot of energy.  We are playing on the road against a good opponent.  Tonight is a good chance to show we belong.  

Exactly, best way to change the conversation is to surpass expectations in every avenue. Tonight is the first chance at doing just that.

Acc is not taking us unless fsu or Miami leave. Our best bet is the big10 as we have the academic background most appealing to them and we are in a big market in a state the big10 has been wanting to get into for years. We just need to get the football team in the right direction along with men’s basketball  

I'm all for the B1G, especially if we ever decide to move the club hockey team up to D1.

And the ACC is the better fit for as a university as a whole.

Absolutely, because if the Big 12 only take 12, there is no way they survive long term. 12 is a near sighted, knee jerk move. If they want to stay as a competitive conference long term that move to 14 or 16 because that is where it is heading.

I'd be happy if the Big 12 took C. and not us as long as the ACC is still open. That scenario keeps WVU away from the ACC, and makes USF the best available option when they bring in Notre Dame as a full member.

GO BULLS!

Old Fashion watching the pregame shows. Go Bulls!

I know that this is mostly out of Athletics hands for the most part and decided by the AAC/ESPN, but I will never understand why other sports end up with games at the same time as Football (especially if there are games at home.) The #23 ranked Women's soccer team is hosting #22 Tennessee tonight and that game starts 30min prior to Kickoff, and the Men's team is away at FGCU at the same time. Both of those games should have been aimed to play tomorrow, especially the Women's game so there could be more in attendance against another SEC school.

Like I said, I know it's mostly out of USF's control but man is it dumb.

2 part question:

1.) At what point in this game would you form the opinion we are going to suck this year? Down by 4 TDs by half

2.) At what point in this game would you form the opinion we're going to be good this year? We are up by 3 TDs by end of 3rd 

 

Bulls

34 - 24

Battie (60yds 1TD), Joiner (45yds rush 25yds rec), Felix (30yds rush 15yds rec), Fortin (20yds rush 1TD)

Williams (75yds 1TD), Miller (50yds), Dollison (45yds), Brinkman (35yds 1TD), Weaver (15yds), Horn (10yds)

As mentioned in the USF vs NC State Prediction thread and on the Daily Stampede live podcast earlier, a lot of the success of this season is going to be dependent on how we our D Line performs and if we can stop the run. Looking at the post by @Gatorbull325, on paper it's hard to argue that this group will be worse than last year. I see more aggressive D play calling now that they have been in the system for a year and have a Secondary that actually has some size.

If Cade can stay healthy, along with utilizing Timmy McClain in a similar role that Florida did with Leak & Tebow, this O could be scary good. Our depth of size and speed in the skill positions, along with an experience O line, makes this team deceptively good. 

I will go on record and say that if we win against NC St we win a minimum of 8 games this season. If we lose, 4 wins is more likely. @Brad $50 donation to the site if I am wrong? Who else wants to hop on this?

Forgot that they mentioned the IPF going over the turf field back in Feb. I'd be curious as this effects the overall layout of the Football Center when it's all said in done. Especially since the IPF was originally meant to go directly behind the LRS Center and the current turf field was going to be converted to the Soccer training grounds. Also, with the new locker room being completed, who gets dibs on it when the Football team moves out? Personally seems like a waste of $3M, even it is top notch.

The youth thing may not be as powerful as before, this is about survival so I think many of the previous "walls" will be much shorter. Just my opinion.

Let's hope so
