  1. Exactly why I don't buy into it much. Although, WVU has the whole family thing going for it. It's going to be a tough recruiting battle. I hope Taggart can pull something off. Trickett should make his way down for a visit here.
  2. @theDudeofWV is saying that Trickett will be a mountaineer. Not totally buying into his statement Quote: "Clint Trickett will be Mountaineer. Surprised the hell out of me but that's what I'm told."
  3. Would he have to sit out a year if he transferred?
  4. What's this about? What they need to do is push the $99 new alumni package a little harder. Totally agree. I graduated last year and was eligible for this, but I wanted to make a donation and get better seats. I had no idea they had any plan for recent alumnis. The only reason I found out was because I was planning on buying season tickets already. If this option is advertised more, I'm willing to bet that more recent grads would be willing to give this a look. The assumption coming out of school is that season tickets will costs hundreds of dollars and most don't even bother to actually look it up, but unbeknownst to most, USF offers this deal. I really think they should advertise this more.
  5. That's a **** mentality to have. All ticket holders bring something to the table. Just because they can't drop a couple grand on USF season tickets doesn't make them any less important. Butts in seats is what you need, and you need to win games to make that happen above all else. I'm not too keen on driving all the way to St. Pete to watch the Rays but when they offered reasonably priced tickets with a free hot dog & a soda, my butt was in that seat along with 4 others. The harsh reality is yes, it does make them less important .... I'm not saying they're not important at all, but programs are built on donors, not bargain hunters. True, but it still puts fans in the seats. Right now these people are very important to our program. Until more fans start actually going to the games, we need as many seats filled as possible. 65% attendance with cheap ticket holders and the normal donors looks better than 55% and just donors. Who cares if someone doesn't fork over hundreds or thousands?... The fact of the matter is, they are willing to spend what cash they have to be a USF fan and be a part of something. They shouldn't be made to feel less important because of that. This sounds like an elitist attitude. Any USF fans willing to buy season tickets should be embraced.
  6. I was in New York last summer for work training and went to the Redemption bar(http://www.redemptionnyc.com). There were some fans there which was nice to see, but since the game was only being broadcast on ESPN3, they brought everyone downstairs into the basement. It was a little cramped, but it was still cool to sit and chat with USF alumni living in New York who still have a passion for rooting on their alma mater. It is definitely worth checking out. It's by 53rd St and 2nd Ave.
  7. Charsibb, I always enjoy your more realistic, positive outlooks. It gives me hope.
  8. He is aware of his MLB draft status, but he has committed to playing football for USF and he may possibly be on the mound for us as well. I remember this being discussed when he first committed to us and Mike White assured that he is still coming.
  9. This is maddening. he looked a lot better than Eveld ... but don't know if surrounding cast played a role there .... Was it mentioned on the radio, or did someone there figure out who the player(s) were that didn't know there was going to be a 4th quarter and gave the White HC a Powerade shower when the clock hit 0:00 at the end of the 3rd? I believe my friend and I saw number 94 do it for the White team. Don't remember the name
  10. Is there a way to not have "bad" words masked? Some of them are obvious given the context, but there are a few that many different ones could fit. Is this a setting I can change or is it all left up to the imagination?
  11. https://twitter.com/DerrickIngram6/status/323072857057935360 SmokeDog! â€@DerrickIngram61h Got invited to FSU spring game buuuuut i rather watch USF Very cool to see a recruit saying this out in the open. I hope we have a good turnout today. I can't wait!
  12. Backup if Henry doesn't join? I think Egunbu has been persuading Henry to the Green and Gold though. We'll find out on the 24th I guess
  13. It would be cool if they gave us a free drink ticket...or two...or three
  14. Demetrius said the single most important factor in making his decision is playing time. I think he could see some good playing time at USF http://ask.fm/ptpmeat/answer/34668187910
  15. Like you young people know everything. How about instead of #DoSomething which isn't trending, he promoted USF? This would have fit: Recruiting is like brushing your teeth & combing your hair. As soon as you stop, you start to look bad. Talked to 51 recruits today. #GoUSF He's connecting with the younger generation. If he speaks their language, they will come.
  16. Chad Barnhardt. Not really, but he was my high school football coach and great guy. Definitely Grothe. He proved himself in some big games.
  17. McMurphy also mentioned East Carolina being the other team joining the nBE
  18. ^^^ The most profound statement ever from smazza. Not as profound as you may think. Don't CEO's get paid to run profitable companies and then get bonuses when they do it? Same same to me. They usually have decent salaries, but their performance bonuses are what net them most. Six figure salary, but if performance is good, then they get a 5, 10, etc. million bonus. Doug's salary is up there with other good ADs and he's getting a lot of performance bonuses on top of it. I like what someone mentioned earlier about having a lower salary and getting paid more when we win! He shouldn't be able to have both when no other AD has a clause on their contract like his.
  19. From the sounds of what people are saying on the boards about the practice, it looks like QB could be a very good opportunity for White to take the reins. I know it's only the first week of practice, but someone mentioned Floyd still not being able to handle the snap behind center. I mean....come on.......
  20. Who is Al. As for the QB play. The offense will always be behind the defense. Let's see what they look like when the spring game come around. AL = Aaron Lynch
  21. Any chance you could upload them to imgur and make an album for everyone to see? **EDIT: Just noticed the new post with pictures posted already. Thanks!
  22. I like it. It's almost like being co-captains for the team. The fact that you have one at every academic level gives the younger guys something to shoot for. Most people don't become part of the captains sqaud until their junior or senior year. Titles are important to some people and it would be a proud accomplishment to be a freshman or sophomore and be on this unity council. It shows that you're doing the right things and on the right path to greatness.
