That game reminded me of recent bad USF teams. They'd run around and not score and let the other team score on them -for the whole season.

That said, it showed me how different things are now under CBG and the new coaching staff. This team doesn't play like that; they were anemic and just weren't themselves.

I expect a very good USF team to show up on Thursday.

I'm so pumped --it just means USF hoops is back!

I think if we take out SMU and win one in the American Tournament, we are locked.

Great coach. Great staff. Good players with really good attitudes; I think they are better people than they are players. That says a lot.

Man, I've not felt this good about USF bball in a longgggggg time!

Go Bulls!

I really like what CBG and Co. have done with the program and the style of basketball we are playing. It's not Stan's slow-em-down and put them to sleep strategy, but it works great for us.

The talent is upgraded at all positions; we have a deeper bench nowadays; the guys play all-out the entire game; and CBG & Co. have really worked hard at coaching the players. You can tell the players aren't just running around like some of the past teams we've had. Have we seen this kind offensive ball movement in the last ten years?

USF Men's hoops is back!

Our BBall history is so sad.

And shame on you, Sheriff, for wanting to fight one of our best BBall coaches in the Sun Dome parking lot!

The Texas-Football Grant expires, correct?

It's unbelievable what the men's bball staff has done in two short years. That program was not a sleeping giant but a drunk hobo completely lights out! Two years later and look at it now. I just spent a lot of time looking at the roster and everybody involved: I'm quite impressed. An NIT selection would be a nice reward for them.

I want the staff of power, maybe like this one.

I've got $5. Where do I send to support the football staff and another great year with a bowl and all?

NFL rookie minimum salary is $480k

Salary is paid over 17 weeks.  Almost $29k to Q for making that 53 man roster. Hopefully next year he is on a roster for a full season. 

What about taxes, man? --Taxes suck! Don't pay it, Q! --Fight the power!

I think it's about time we took care of us: THE BULLS FANS!

I know a lot of you are hurting. But I told you something wasn't right when Q got us that TD last year and then they ran it back and won the game... At 4-0, I smelled a big rat.

Go Mr. Flowers!

Nah, man, I'm happy as hell.

The low end, I think we will make a bowl. 6 wins total, that's pretty much guaranteed.

The high end, 9-3.

So, 4-0. Things are good. How does this happy story turn out?

We have plenty of talent, good coaches and a young motivated team. These are kids and they will have good days and bad days. The fact that we won on a bad day is a good sign. A win is a win is a win.

Agreed! Everybody on the team, including the coaches, needs to hug it out!

Everyone wants 56-9 wins.  We didn't get those.  That gives the coaches things to work on over next two weeks.  Good thing.

What about Lefty out in Vegas who made the 21-pt line and who will now lose a finger?

no

When a team can't stop the run, there's no guarantee of anything.

I call this game a 50/50. Flip a coin to see which USF team plays. We might cover the spread or we might just lay an egg.

This coaching staff is iffy in my book.

Losing to Houston last year was unforgivable. Losing to the gnats on special teams at the end... C'mon!

And then playing like they did at Illinois?

Remember, most of this staff was fired from Texas.

coaching staff

Are any of you prepared for a loss to ECU?

After last week, I'm certainly ready anything.

Most fans probably think that we can just phone this one in... After last week, this team needs to show up to play Bulls football. Any other assumption from the players is foolhardy.

The Pirates' last scheduled game (against Virginia Tech) was canceled. After evacuating campus a week ago, they remain sequestered in one of the giant hotels off Orlando's International Drive. As their classmates returned to school Wednesday in Greenville, they were practicing at ESPN's Wide World of Sports Complex to prepare for Saturday night's game at USF.

Although they couldn't play last week, they watched USF's 25-19 comeback win over Illinois together.
