Breedwell

I mean if they'd do those, no reason to believe they wouldn't make a blue helmet. 

I actually kinda think going off the wall and doing a blue and red bulls jersey would be pretty rad. Just me maybe. The Minutemen Jersey.

Probably a whole different scheme, using mostly white. Those blue helmets would look slick with the gold face mask tho!

blue and gold, but we couldn't play Tulsa! haha 

Those helmets are clean A F. I just don't know what the rest of our jersey would look like. Couldn't be green and gold, surely. 

The Wounded Warrior uniform was gorgeous. 

Long live Elkino Watson. 

Its definitely JuJu. 

Senior night against SMU, also my final game as a student. There's literally all of 10 people in the student section (and that didn't change much despite this being 45 minutes before kickoff). 

JuJu and a couple other players came up and shook all of our hands, thanked us for coming out to see them. We all knew the season hadn't been what we hoped for. So we thanked them back.  Great guy.

Breedwell covered it but the CFP title game would be light years ahead of that Fiesta Bowl .... but I do agree that the P5 invite would be the best of those choices because of the definitive longer term rewards that come with it. 

In this world of fantasy, one of the reasons I would rather go to the CFP would be that it would imply that we can get there and get it done without being a P5 school. The committee electing to allow an AAC team into the CFP makes being P5 less important. And with Aresco talking about  Power-Six and all that, what better way to make that a reality by showcasing a National Title as the crown jewel? 

USF would instantly be talked about for expansion. I wouldn't doubt it for a second. 

'Twas my first ever USF game. 

I take the title game.

That means we've not only made it into the playoff, but we won our first game. No matter what rank we are, it spells good things for the program. Ranked 2-3? That means something good happened to not make us #4. Plus that means we beat the other team. If we scraped in at #4? That means we beat the #1 team in the country to get to the final. 

The CFP is not the Fiesta Bowl. Its much, much better. And a shot at winning it all means I can't help but speculate we'd also have a lot of attention moving forward for the other football-related possibilities. 

If at all else, winning a national title without being in a P5 makes being P5 less relevant. 

Quietly, its Bruce Hector. 5 sacks in 2015, 6 in 2016, including 2 against SCAR in the bowl game.  Here's to him having a big senior season!

Will be curious to see if we can crack the upperbowl in the first half of the season. If we end up going undefeated into the latter half, it would be nice to go 40k+ for real.

14-0, our bowl game

15-0 after the CFP semi and final

Ugh, they could use a better font so that the '6' doesn't look like a 'G'.

I think one of the reason Strong's QB's last season didn't run for as many yards is because their yards per carry was terrible. Swoopes and Buechele had 151 carries between them, so its not like Texas didn't hand them the ball (Flowers ran 47 more carries, with 21 of those coming in our 13th game. So in 12 games he only had 26 more carries, or a little more than 2 per game).  Swoopes had 54 carries for a paltry 3.2 YPC. Buechele was even worse, 71 carries for 1.6 YPC. So neither were really reliable, that's 2.4 YPC! 

You hand Flowers the ball on a running play, on average he gets you 2nd and short or third and short. Hand the other two the ball, now you're in 2nd or 3rd and long, suddenly you have to pass the ball 7+ yards on third down or whatever. 

And speaking of third down. Texas' overall 3DC% was 36.08%.  It was 40%+ in the first couple of months of play, but by November they were only converting 3rd Down 26.47%. 

USF'S last year? 44.21%. In October, we had a 50.65 3PC%. So much more effective on 3rd down.   

I say all of this to say, some of the replies so far have had Flowers throwing more and running less. I actually think he gets back up into the 14-1500's in total rushing yards. I would expect his workload to compare to last year's, but he'll have a lot more success than Texas had with their QBs.

Davis was the offense for us. Main reason we even had 3 wins that one year. 

ncaa.com is like not updating what's going on lol

This is it....have to score here.  Let's go Bulls!

I mean we got another inning but no outs one on 1st is a good starting point 

Games like this show we can play with the big boys. 

you'll take the double play!

I like this pitching move.  Fresh arm is a good idea...keep them guessing.

A victory gives us about a day's rest to get ready to probably face them again tomorrow night. I like the idea of chasing this win. 

was trying to listen to the game in my car while on my break here.. I could hear the announcers pretty OK, but they had some sort of variety salsa/horchata/jazz station playing music behind them. Twas, unique. 

Houston's giving Baylor a taste of their own medicine.  16-3 after 7. 

A terrible joke, I'll see myself out.

FSU beating UCF 3-0 in 3rd inning.

http://www.ncaa.com/game/baseball/d1/2017/06/03/florida-st-ucf/play-by-play

5-0 now in the 7th. 

I always get confused by some of the rules with losing in college baseball.. Its still double elimination right? 

Well this game blew up in our faces.

Better hope they play better in regionals or they'll be back home in a jiffy.
