If someone walked up to me with contracts in hand and wanted to give an on-campus stadium at USF built exactly like UCF's, I would walk away. I woudn't want that POS for free. Therefore, the raking is null and void, as it was put together by a clueless person(s).

Man, we need him to make it in. You guys are ruining it for me! Let's hope you are all wrong about the academic committee.

I'm all into cosmology and that sort of stuff. Nothing I've seen tells me UFOs have been to earth. And we wouldn't be that interesting for a species with such capabilities.

Back in high school, I worked for Publix and there would be two guys sweeping aisle the floor at a time. One would "kick out" with a broom and the other guy would follow with the dust broom. On that day, I was the dust broom guy. We go down this one aisle and there are two mothers right in the middle with two babies in their carts, respectively. They must have been friends and shopping together. I do a HUGE SBD right in the middle of them as I push the broom through. At the end of the aisle, I stopped the other guy and said, "Wait up! I want you to look," as I nodded towards the women. The first lady picked up her baby and started sniffling the baby's diaper: "Not my baby." The second mother picked her baby up and did the same thing: "Nope. She's fine." And then they went back to shopping as if nothing happened at all! Both of us just about died laughing!

How much does Chucky love USF to leave his job and come to USF as a student manager --and go back to taking classes? We're taking about a former NBA player and a millionaire here. I love Chucky; he's all Green N Gold. It's people like him that make me so proud to be a USF Bull. GO BULLS!

If you're full of it, medical doctors need you! http://news.yahoo.com/poop-transplants-well-really-221607302.html

That story should have been authored with, "written by a below-average writer." I hope all the other USF QBs read it and work hard to win the starting job. I just hate people from outside of USF taking shots at our players' skills.

I was curious where Big Sweat was --out in Arizona with Rich Rodriguez, still. http://www.arizonawildcats.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/12coaches.html Look who else is on their staff: Calvin Magee and Frank Davis!

Do we have enough good receivers --or just the one? I think we will be okay at RB, not great but somebody will step up. The QB will be an asset, not a liability. The O-line, I guess some of you Bulls feel that we have enough size. I'll trust you on that. I've not followed. And I guess we have a pretty good TE. ----------------------------- I think with the old system we got to be too predictable; any kid could guess what we'd do next on offense. Hopefully, the new system will allow us more variety and thus take off pressure on making a great play. Though, running a voodoo five once in a while wouldn't be too bad! By the way, where's Big Sweat nowadays?

If Swanson does make it to USF for this fall, I would consider this past recruiting year to be very productive towards moving forward and not just stop the bleeding. Right now, we are doing okay (that was with Bench coming on board). Swanson would really add a ribbon to this signing class. I'm holding my breath to see the next story Greg posts on Swanson. I'm 40/60 on him making the grades.

His dogs confirmed it.

No kidding! B.J. had to be Mr. Offense and then not get hurt.

Wait up on the cheers for a bit, Bulls. I asked Greg directly about Swanson, and Greg said he would check into it. That was during the last live chat. (The crystal ball says, "check back later.")

Thanks for finding that, Slick. I like him a lot; he's tougher than our other QBs. If he doesn't start in the fall, I'll be very surprised. But it will mean that one of the other guys really stepped up and played exceptional football. GO BULLS!

This is huge. Welcome, Mr. Bench!

In my mind, signing Bench will be like signing a four-star QB out of high school. 1) He was a 3-star recruit, so he needs one more to be a 4-star. 2) He's got college-game experience, been practicing at the college level, and has adjusted to college life (and passed classes!). All three factors = one star of points. Now, the question will be how he adjusts to the coaching and the playbook at USF. Of course, we have to see if he signs with us. I move the chance up to 80% that he signs with USF.

How is that not a recruiting violation?

Good work, Bull-71! All we need to worry about is some family member, a girlfriend, or something intangible that locks him to the MSU area.

Here's how I see it. Right now, the battle for starting at USF is all even. It could very well be Mike White if he does well before the season begins. And I think "doing well" enough to start is not going to take much, not like what Grothe and B.J. had to do. Do we have someone who can step up right now? I think that's at 50%. If Bench comes in, it certainly gives our team another option. I think we'd be at 75%. We don't have a Grothe or a B.J. Daniels, with our without Bench. But I'd sleep better if Bench is on the roster.

I have my feelings against UCF, but I'm leaving them aside for a good discussion. I don't follow UCF, so I don't know how they compare with USF in terms of home attendance numbers for football games. Also, have they made the NCAA Tourney in men's basketball recently? In all honesty, I think their football program has done pretty well. I was really impressed when they beat Georgia in the bowl game a few years ago. Wasn't that a BCS bowl? Plus, their men's basketball team has done pretty well with the new coach. What I'm getting to is this: if you aren't in a good conference, can good performances in football and men's basketball be enough to propel a school into a power conference? Again, let's leave out the emotions. One would think that Orlando would be a great market. Since USF has been in the Big East, why didn't somebody snap up UCF, as in a bigger conference? My personal feeling is that they've been doing pretty well and improving. Now, both USF and UCF are in a double-wide trailer of a conference. What can either school do to get into a real conference -a real home? If USF becomes the king of the trailer park, doesn't that get USF into a home? Is winning all there is? Certainly, UCF didn't get anywhere fast into a bigger conference by winning.

I think USF is 75% Why? His interview quotes after his USF visit. Plus, Tampa intangibles. MSU: 25% They have better QBs than USF right now. If he can't beat out the Penn State QBs for a starting spot, there's about the same chance for him to start at MSU. Chalk it up. He's coming to Tampa and becoming a Bull.

Did you see how he took the snap? And no fumbles. Sign him up!

Looking at that Penn State video, I like him. If you told me that was USF, I wouldn't mind at all having that QB as our starter. Still, I'm not getting all excited until I hear something on Thursday! (Who knows? He may have family living near Mississippi State and that will seal the deal for them!)
