This. Many  delusional people on this board are talking about increasing our schedule strength in order to get to the playoffs. Playoffs are not going to happen. However I still would like a game against a big time program just for the enjoyment of watching the game. 

Not Delusional, Just stating we have no business ever wanting to be in the ******* playoffs if we are afraid of filling out a tough schedule. Also adding more strong games AND WINNING THEM is the only way to show that we deserve it. Playing ******* cupcakes ain't gonna get it done. 

Now if we just want to sit back and enjoy AAC conference championship games and undefeated regular seasons and throw some parades and sh!t... sure. Schedule whoever. 

SMU had a good program and the death sentence, they have potential to be good again and are in a football state. 

Tulane is meh... Hear it is a good party city, and it is a good academic institution but football not so much.

Would love to get Army or Air Force instead of Tulsa.

I don't understand the origin or intent behind the fluorescent yellow. Normally with branding there is some kind of story or meaning or purpose for each design element? Including the colors.... this color and font has none of that. 

Agreed the apple for the academics doesn't fit. Should be classic colors. The design itself I can live with. Leave the soflo stuff for athletics and by that I am not condoning with F*CKING our athletic logo either. You leave that alone USF. 

This week was a special week of preparation in Orlando as the Pirates prepare for their USF matchup. However one practice was postponed because McCants went to Disney Land.

Miami would be a great game to add to the slate. Local enough, P5 team, and beatable. I presume we would get paid, could still tailgate and contributes to a sos in a killer year for us. Now just to figure out how to get Miami to sign off on playing us. 

rooting for, and better for us, are not the same. It looks better for ALL of our games to be against opponents with good records. Hate on C all you want, but beating a ranked team is better than beating an unranked one. Alabama or otherwise. 

How is this even a question? I want every team we play to win as many games as possible but still lose to us. Beating a whole bunch of 11-1 teams looks way better than mopping up a bunch of 1-11 teams. IT MAKES US LOOK BETTER. Forget what letters the opponent is using. If it's our game we win, if it is a future opponent, root for them.

We need a cupcake if we already have Wisconsin, GT and BYU on the schedule.

Why? what does that get us other than a W to count for bowl eligibility, do you think we won't get 6 wins?

I understand this thinking, but how will that help? We have no shot for the CFP, as seen from a 13-0 team from last year. As long as we are the G5, nobody will take us seriously. If the hope is to look good for the next conference expansion, I think USF’s record the last 35 games speaks for itself. 

Has a team from the "g5" beat 4 "p5" teams and won their conference championship and been left out?


Schedule up if you think we deserve anything more than a conference championship, ever, especially 2019.

Thought it was free fiddy

Posted this on the fb story:

"Grab a pay day game and put it to the ipf. Play up whenever possible. We will have a good team 2019 and we need strength of schedule."

If we want any business being in a stronger "power" conference, or contending for any type of REAL national championship, then we have no business being afraid to schedule another "power" team. Load em up Kelly. Especially since 2019 could prove to be quite magical with the experience and quality of our roster this year. 2019 is THE year to shine, and I have that feeling this year won't be too shabby either.

They could, but those 2-3 non conference games make a lot of money including to some universities that look forward to the pay day and you also lose  those interesting early season interconference matchups.

more money than play off games? or are you meaning for conferences that don't make the playoffs? I like the inter conference games but I don't look forward to the FCSvFBS games

They're not doing 16 any time soon.  They'll argue too many games.  G5 may not deserve more than 1 at large, at least that gives a deserving team a shot.

Can cut out 2-3 non conference games, take the top of each conference and make a playoff system with 6 wild cards

Not to be critical, while I have watched him, does it seem to you like he is a one read QB? If the WR or RB is open, he throws it, if he is not, he runs? Am I off base. Nice come back win today.

No harm evaluating play and being a college football fan. It is when others from your university get nasty and serve up unfounded opinions it is a problem. Thanks for your contribution. 

I think part of it is the trust in pocket. I think he is feeling the pressure to do something rather than to sit back and trust that his speed guys are getting open. If we can build up and solidify our O line, I think we see BB use his weapon with more finesse, and that is a lot on him to work on and correct. From how he has presented himself to the media he seems like the kind of kid who will and become much much better as the season progresses. 

 

APPLE!

They have the game so get your free trial if you're stuck somewhere in the world and can't watch the bulls tomorrow. 

Seems you have to be in a specific home area to sign up, even using a VPN it is getting stuck and my "home area" would be California or Denver since that is where the vpn servers for the US are.  Unfortunately seems very restrictive, especially when already abroad. Looks like I will have to try firstrowsports again.. 

GREEEEEEN!!!!

If we get stuck here and it pays off that would be awesome (the it paying off part not the getting stuck here part) I am just tempering my expectations on how well it will. I just can’t see any network overpaying for our product when ESPN will more than likely be contracting their payouts, there isn’t a particularly high demand for our product and the concept of P6 is generally scoffed at. I pray to G-d we do not get left behind and if we do get left behind then I pray I am wrong but I just don’t see it. When the P6 campaign leads to greater payouts, access, bowl games and prestige I will be more impressed but until that day.

Not saying youre wrong, just premature. We have to see the results of the next contract to know if the branding effort has succeeded OR failed.

The first contract didn’t matter? It’s nothing short of shocking how big the divide is.  It needs to go up exponentially just to catch up. If we doubled our tv money and then doubled it again then doubled it again and then doubled it again we would still be 9x our current yearly payout away from the Big10. It’s not premature it’s just the way it is things will never be the same.

The P6 is the branding effort as a result of the poor contract we had little room to negotiate. I understand (but don't always agree) with your points of view you have been sharing recently but the P6 branding is just that branding and needs to happen as the BACKUP plan instead of putting all our eggs in the next round of expansion basket. Which I doubt we are going to the SEC or PAC12 so that leaves a whopping 3 small doors to hope for. Banging it into the public's heads that we are a higher class than the rest of the MAC CUSA etc's out there is playing into getting us a better contract and having other schools schedule us for "quality of schedule". There is absolutely nothing wrong with this branding approach as it also helps us be the go to conference IF/when there is further expansion.

The P6 is nothing more than a silly slogan it’s not a real thing so says the money, power and access which all has the AAC firmly in the G5 even if it’s teams spend like he P6 is a real thing.

Kinda pre-mature to call it not a real thing since contracts have not been re negotiated yet. If the next go around they do not improve then that would be correct.
