    I had a customer walk in and missed all 3 interviews. Any chance the pod casts will be uploaded for us to get a listen? 

     

    He said they would. Keep checking here http://tampa.cbslocal.com/show/the-commish/  They interviewed Moore this morning before DW and his interview is already up.

     

    Hopefully, I check that link before I posted and just saw the listen live. Chop Chop Justin. 

    I have it muted now, am I the only one that hates the Jim Rome show? I miss the old Fan Lineup literally had it on all day.

    Just curious, and too lazy to look it up myself. What are the records of:

     

    UCF vs UF

    UCF vs FSU

    UCF vs Miami?

     

     

    btw UCF fan, don't get me wrong, a rivalry would be fun... but you actually have to step up and prove it first. This year is your chance better not muck it up. Until then it is just another conference game that happens to be down the road. 

    against Miami....0-2

    against FSU...don't appear to have played

    against UF .... 0-2

     

    but UCF is 3-6 against the East Carolina Pirates...now there's a rivalry. To deny that the UCF x USF game is not huge is a mistake. It is. Call it a rivalry, don't call it a rivalry...whatever helps you sleep nights is fine, but it is indeed bigger than SMU & Memphis. How many times do we bemoan that we're in the same conference and competing for the same recruits? We make fun of the frying pan and George O'Liar-y.  And the fact that we generate this much keyboard time to this game indicates that it has a special place in all of our itty-bitty hearts. I just haven't seen this much angst since the great Eye Gouge Fest. 

     

    This is my point. I consider our games vs FSU and Miami to be rivalries in their infancy, huge fan passion especially towards the FSU games. Yet I don't consider our 0-1 with UF to = a rivalry. When we play UF again sure it will be a big game but until we beat them we have nothing to stand on. Same with UCF the game matter yes, but is it a Rivalry? not yet more like a nagging little brother that finally hit puberty.

    I hate to break it to you, but this isn't another September home/home OOC game series. It's now a conference game and meaningful. It's also a inner-state game from two schools 1.5 hrs away from each other. If its not a rivalry now, it will be. And this new conference will sell it as one. And guess what, this isn't a temporary solution. USF is stuck with this, so deal. I think a lot of you are still in denial thinking that the Big 12 or someone will be calling any moment to save USF. They're not.

    I'm glad someone brought up ECU as well. You all will be playing them each year after this season from now on. You are 4-0 vs them. Now maybe they finally beat USF and can start a rivalry with USF, too. Same with Tulane and Tulsa. Welcome to our hell world now and get used to it. Nobody is coming to save any of us.

    Right now, UCF is a better football team and program than USF and many give UCF a good shot at even winning the AAC. If anything, for USF it'll be UCF as the team to beat, not the other way around. USF should be more aware of the fact they're rebuilding from their "Holtz new era". That's gonna take a while.

    And based on our recruiting classes, it won't take long to overtake little UCF.

     

    LoL!

     

    If our Holtz error is so devastating then why are we currently 52nd recruiting nationally (bulls247) compared to UCF 90th? I mean clearly you are an equal conference mate now and should be drawing the same level of recruits right? :rolleyes: 

    Or even looking at 2013 USF 53rd, UCF 81st..

    2012 USF 51st, 101st

    But Florida is FSU's rival, right?

     

    Just as UCF is USF's rival.  Like it or not.

    No, it's not "just as" UF/FSU. That one is based on history and tradition. Right now, ours is the same as our rivalry with SMU, ECU, Houston, et al in our quest for a conference title .... BUT the potential is definitely there for the I4 rivalry to be elevated above the rest of the conference but to try and equate it to UF/FSU at this point is a joke.

     

     

    Right.  USF fans are just as interested in the SMU game as the UCF game.  

     

    You can honestly tell me that a loss to UCF won't eat at you a lot more than a loss to SMU?

     

    Yeah Just about. The top 3 games for me are Miami, Louisville, and Rutgers, probably in that order too. If UCF is going to get a win under their belt against us this is the year to do it. We are down  right now and it is their best chance. I have a lot of faith in what this team will look like 2-3 years down the road and I don't think UCF will be hanging with us at that point.

    QB Mike White

    Given a RS year I can see him near 220-225lbs and 6' 5" he has the tools to be a great QB. 

     

    He could be the steal of the new players comming in.

     

    The foundation is being put down and I can see a very potent offense in a few years. 

     

    Exciting times for USF football.

     

    Indeed but depending on if we get anyone else at QB I don't know if he RS over our current QB's. Floyd was very hard to watch this year. 

    Floyd was tough to watch at times but with another year and with better coaching he could be decent enough that we RS White.

    Plus we have Bobby also which I think will be a senior?

     

    I would guess Bobby would get it over Floyd but I am sure CWT is going to go with whoever picks up his system best and not worry about which of these 3 will be here 3-4 years out. I am sure either next year or the year after he lands an outstanding candidate though White may develop very well. 

    I could be wrong but I see RS is more of a strategy for the long term to build and develop players to get the best 4 years possible. Given our current situation we need to give it our all in the last showing of the Big East in the BCS era and for recruiting next year.

    I'm starting to see why some folks in this thread are always making fun of people being butt-hurt over this whole thing. It's not being an Indian giver to rescind a verbal commit that you gave to one coaching staff, if that team fires that coaching staff and hires another one. He committed to playing for Skip Holtz not Willie Taggart.

     

    I thought he also recommitted then decommitted after Taggart. It is fine to change your mind. The problem came up when he was bleeding green and gold then suddenly decided to change once he got some more attention. It is a shame he would be a good fit with Taggart but this Mike White kid is looking pretty good, at least good enough to get us through 1-2 years before Taggart does some more recruiting magic. It would be nice is AW decided to still come on board, he could really make a name for himself here but there will be more QB's in our future and I have great confidence in our new coach putting this team back on track. 

    Interesting thing about Taggart's success

    Offer a Bronze statue next to the bull.

    Yeah, that worked out well for Paterno.

    If we ever build a  on campus stadium we could call it Selmon Stadium and Taggart Field

     

    Go Bulls

     

     

    I'm excited too but lets see some winning on the field before we start handing out statues and stadiums. 

     

    Oh c'mon, this is the new era - EVERYBODY gets a statue...

    lol, beats bobble heads.

    We could have a hot Taggert Grill..and be on TV

     

    Well last year I was thinking about converting a old bus into a BBQ food truck, seems to have even more meaning now haha.
