  1. Really happy to see he got the chance and that he knocked it out. Thanks, feardabull, I'll definitely record to watch the 4thQ again.
  2. Bowl game is my benchmark for success, whether it's a high mark or not. Basically saying the same thing as JTrue, but I don't want to "squeak" into a bowl, I want to see this team work hard & be undeniable.
  3. Emphatic yes...at the beginning of the season. Let's talk again as the season wears on, but I really hope he can help solidify our RB situation.
  4. Double-teams busted Selvie's stats (and boosted JPP), might have same effect if Lynch is all the hype. For the team's sake, I hope Giddins can finally break out & live up to potential. If so, this is going to be a fun year for the D line. Glad we got Lynch. Whatever maturity issues he had, he works hard so there's no reason he can't shine here.
  5. Good gosh, dude. I don't know the guy--let's not take my ignorance of him as opening to play the race card. Read my post--I actually agree with the guy that he's probably a good get and a good fit. Just think their lead in to his opinions could have done him a whole lot more justice if he's really in tune with the football scene down there.
  6. Sadly, I can understand the lack of effort reporting on us right now, but 'ville? You can't expose your bias much more than that.
  7. Wow, really? I thought I remember Landi being our go-to third down receiver. I agree will likely not make the squad but not because of dropped passes.
  8. People that treat a live football game like it's their personal home theater...
  9. Well, I would say last year were some of yalls worst days. 3 wins with best "quality" against Nevada. MT finished with 9 wins and their best "quality" win against Georgia Tech. Sorry, Yall have a ways to get back to were yall were 4-5 years ago. McNeese was a shell of what it was at the end of the season last year. When we are healthy we can play with any mid major or lower BCS conference team. Can't get much healthier than first game. Yall better not look past us. Good luck! No way we look past this game, it's the most important game of the season until it's done. Too much at stake on our home turf, but I stand by what I said--we're unproven until we #DoSomething.
  10. Good quotes, Brad, thanks. I love what CWT is doing with making it a game-like situation, it sounds brilliant--hope it pays off!
  11. According to every source outside the AAC, the AAC sucks if they're not talking about Louisville or Rutgers. Can't wait til their first upset in conference, hope that happens pretty quickly.
  12. ...and a good way to avoid aforementioned FMJ scenario!!
  13. Wouldn't have got it without the Carolina reference, that was pretty hard but I'm sure that was the point...
  14. Absolutely, just a placeholder for someone trying to make a name for themselves (see, I told you so syndrome)
  15. ...that ends with us scoring 7. I'm okay with that as long as they score 6 or less. May be wrong, but I think the reference was to us scoring TD's rather than FG's. Um, yeah. Seemed obvious what I meant but if we want to get technical then crikey, yes, I'd settle for 6, 7, or 8 as long as we reach the endzone and don't friggin fumble or INT on the 5 yard or something--that crap kills spirits.
  16. Well, that's one way to get a team going. Just hope they don't go Full Metal Jacket on him.
  17. Oh geesh, I hate when I don't get coffee in the morning. It's "prima donna", and thanks to anyone that avoided the urge to bash...
  18. Not sure that qualifies him to be a noteworthy information source...but Lockette does sound like a good fit and a good recruitment poster.
  19. This. Davis, Welch, & Gonzalez have big frames, which is what we need with our QB situation and with our O scheme. Dunkley's and Hopkins' speed will hopefully keep the secondary honest. We have a very good setup at WR.
  20. The optimum situation for USF is to find the next Johnny Football. Completely unrealistic. If we couldn't even keep AW on the hook, we surely couldn't get an even better one when going up against storied programs. Best we can hope for is a local diamond in the rough, and polish, and polish, and.... This approach usually eliminates the premadonnas we wouldn't want.
  21. eh, the NFL thing would be a big stretch anyway. I mean, Martin was in there, so who knows? I don't have the insight, but Greg's article on this seems to take a quick shot at Schiano, so I'm sure you guys know stuff I don't.
  22. Do we really know the story on Schiano & Glazers? It seems unlikely USF didn't reach out to them for the video, but wonder what the real answers are--they may have been told not to appear in it by the NFL for all we know. Lots of smart guys on here, wonder if anyone can find that answer? Purely hypothetical, but I was trying to figure that out and the only thing I could figure is that they didn't want the other extensive college fans in the metro (UF/FSU/UM/etc) to pitch fits on the Bucs organization. Baseball, who cares? But football is sacred to a lot of fans.
  23. Must be the morning, let the day wear on and these guys will come around. juuuust kidding. I hate to see kids with potential & size hit the road, but yeah, if it's not a good fit for him then go get better chemistry with the coaches that'll let him cry on their shoulder about playing time. Kinda sounds positive to me, though, if we have a deep enough receiving corps that the 6'5 guy with decent speed couldn't make the cut!
  24. What if THEY get invited to a P5 conference? Then we get together and have a pity party, but yeah, that would certainly fix the worry about them being on our level wouldn't it?
