USF never fails --the drama continues!

I was thinking that it had been fairly peaceful and quiet since USF hired Strong.

Buckle up! --Let's see how this turns out.

We need somebody with Florida, Tampa and P5 connections -who can do a great job.

As the self-appointed President of the Dobras Fan Club, I'm disappointed. I'm sending people over to steal your lawn gnome .

We usually focus on the TV networks and game access platforms for conference expansion, as the source of expansion money.

But the truth is that the teams and the powers in the NCAA decided to keep more money for the top programs (for themselves).

Until they change their minds, sadly, teams like USF and UConn will be looking for a free lunch.

When they took away the BCS, they removed chairs and USF got left out when the music stopped.

Former Big East teams like Louisville and WVU found chairs...

Say, is there that silly rule in the NFL that took Senat out of a few games for hitting the QB? --I mean are they that touchy in the NFL?

(I don't keep up with the NFL that closely.)

I don't have any kind of special relationship with him. It is part nostalgia and part random, obscure reference. 90% or more of USF fans aren't going to recognize Reggie Kohn. 

I graduated in 1997 so the football team wasn't a part of student life. We all felt the basketball team was "right there" (in 2001-2002) to make that leap with those Seth Greenburg teams with BB Waldon and Altron Jackson. It was a good early lesson in life to see expectations rarely match reality. 

What I liked about Reggie was although he didn't look like he belonged out there, he was fearless and would shoot from anywhere. Still holds the record for most 3's made at USF. 

I have fond memories of Reggie, great player for us.

I still remember listening on the Net during one game (no TV coverage or USF access) and listening to the other team's coverage -who kept calling him, "Corn."

I'll start off...

1. Flowers! --of course.

2. Grothe

3. Dobras

4. Charlie Bradley (though I never saw him play)

5. Mike Ford -I just love that guy for some reason

O.K. If you are USF sports diehard, you have a personal list of all-time favorite players in your head. List as many as you want -in order. Top 5? Top 10?

Good point. If any upheaval takes place, the AAC could lose some teams to the Big10. This would be the perfect conference. 

So, are you saying things are perfect now?

We need more ACC games, if we can get them. This will help (a little bit) with maybe getting into the ACC.

Miami, FSU... and then whoever else.

P5 membership is the only thing that matters.

Everything else will fall into place once we are back in a "BCS" conference.

I was just thinking that Alabama fans only want one thing, winning the National Championship (not the one that ucf won). Everything else is almost meaningless for their fans.

What about the Bulls' Nation? What are your top 5 dreams/wishes right now for USF Athletics?

I'm hoping to one day read, "Mens BB tournament in Lithuania."

I want us to recruit Eastern European players!

Hello, Mr. Dobras!

Anybody remember "brum"baugh?

That role was “Mongo”, perhaps the greatest cinematographic performance in Alex Karras’ Illustrious motion picture career.

Lol man its a lost cause. Willie gets more hate that Lou Holtz

When you combine WKU fans, USF fans and Oregon fans, yes, that's a lot of hate!

He will come into the OCS like this:

 

I didn't know that was Webster's dad for the longest time. Then, one day, "oh, yeah..." He did a great job in that role.

smh ..... Still hatin' on Willie for going up the employment ladder.

One thing I'll say is that Skippy was probably the nicest coach we had, very likable. That's good for press conferences and so on, but not to run the program.

Getting the players fired up, that's Leavitt for sure. But I don't know about the game plan. We lost some big games because his offensive game strategy wasn't so great, I feel. Defense won, but offensively -eh... Program builder, he was the man. He waited for the cement posts to dry...

Ca$h, I'm still not sure about him. Yes, he's a great recruiter for sure. He spotted Mack and said Mack was the steal of the class and he was right. Q, I think Q developed himself... As for being an offensive guru, I don't know yet. Let him prove me wrong at FSU.

Coach Strong, I've no clue about him. I've no feelings and not enough data on how I feel about him.

We haven't had many head coaches, of course. Without going into all the politics and whatnot...

Who would you want as your game-day coach?

Who would you want as your recruiter & player development?

Who would you want as your program builder?

This should be a huge plus in recruiting 4 us. 

Which "US" are you referring to???

Hey, how about Miami??? I want the Canes and their gold chain!

I updated the image for you, Brad.

What are we looking at for next season? The guys played well at the end there and had some really close games. But I guess the roster is going to change dramatically, correct?

Say, since Barnett has two years left and gets to potentially play this year (if he cracks the depth chart), do any of you update the recruiting class grade for 2018?

Me, I say this coaching staff did really well. I'm impressed.
