This would definitely be a big name.

Interesting . . .

Expecting ground to be moved this week.

USF alumni here and good friend some very large donors. Just wanted to let y'all know that, according to my sources USF is preparing to offer Deion Sanders a very sizable contract to be our next head coach. Apparently, the two parties have been in talks for a while now but this should seal the deal. Go Bulls.

Welcome to TheBullsPen.com's Game 12 South Florida Bulls (1-10, 0-7) vs. UCF Knights (8-3, 5-2) November 26, 2022 7:00 PM EST - ESPN2 Senior Day/ War on I-4 Raymond James Stadium Tampa, FL This will serve as our official in game thread for in game discussions and commentary. Stand alone topics should still be posted in a new thread. The board functions work well on mobile phone, tablet or desktop. The BullsChat chat room is also available. GAME DAY vs. UCF USF will look to end a 14-game skid vs. ranked foes, 12-game AAC losing skid and 5-game losing streak in the War on I-4 Saturday as freshman quarterback Byrum Brown makes his second career start vs. No. 25 UCF following a sterling debut in which the USF offense set a season high in yards (499) and matched a season-high in points (42). The freshman will take the reins on a Senior Day that will honor 17 Bulls pregame. USF will be looking for its first win the War on I-4 series since a 48-31 victory in Tampa in 2016. The Bulls will also be looking for their first AAC win since Oct. 23, 2021 at Temple (34-14) and first victory against a ranked foe since beating No. 22 Navy (52-45) in 2016 in Tampa. FREAKY FRIDAY: In the 13-game history of the War on I-4 series, all of USF's six wins have come in Saturday (5) or Thursday (1) games, including the Bulls’ last victory in 2016 (48-31) on a Saturday in Tampa. All seven of UCF's wins have come in Friday games. The last nine games have been the last game of the regular season for both teams. BATTIE SEEKS RECORD 5 STRAIGHT 100 YARD GAMES: RB Brian Battie has posted 100-yard games in his last four outings as he increased his season rushing total to 1,042, just the 10th 1,000-yard season (6th player) in program history. He eyes the USF record of five-straight 100-yard games held by Jordan Cronkrite (2018), Quinton Flowers (2016) and Marlon Mack (2015. His six 100-yard games on the year rank tied for fourth in a season at USF, one away from tying Marlon Mack (7, 2016) for third. His 6.64 ypc ranks No. 7 nationally and is on pace for a top 5 season at USF, while his 94.7 yards per game rank 20th nationally/2nd in the AAC and are just shy of a top five season at USF. SENIOR DAY: USF will honor 17 seniors pregame. They are: DEFENSE: LB Dwayne Boyles, S Vincent Davis, DT Darrien Grant, CB Josh Green, DT Jatorian Hansford, S Mekhi LaPointe, DT Rashawn Yates, DT Jbril Glaze, DT De’Juan Sease; OFFENSE: C Brad Cecil, G Demetris Harris, T Demontrey Jacobs, WR Latrell Williams, OL Brock Parry, O Alec Valet; SPECIAL TEAMS: LS Andrew Beardall, P Colin McCreary SERIES: UCF leads, 7-6 STREAK: UCF last 5 IN TAMPA: Tied, 3-3 IN ORLANDO: UCF leads, 4-3 LAST YEAR: UCF won, 17-13, in Orlando AAC GAMES: USF lost last 12 VS RANKED: 11-36, lost last 14; 7-19 at home TV: ESPN2: Taylor Zarzour (PXP), Matt Stinchcomb (Analyst) & Alyssa Lang (sideline) RADIO: 102.5 FM/102.5 HD2 AUDIO STREAM: TuneIn -Bulls Unlimited 1 LISTEN USF RADIO NETWORK FLAGSHIP: 102.5 FM & 102.5-HD2 (BAY AREA), TUNEIN RADIO (DIGITAL) - BULLS UNLIMITED; Jim Louk, play-by-play Sam Barrington, analyst Joey Johnston, sideline PREGAME SHOW (2 HRS PRIOR TO KICK): Jim Lighthall & Darek Sharp USF FOOTBALL RADIO SHOW: Wednesdays, 6-7 p.m. on 102.5 HD-2 & Bulls Unlimited TheBullsPen.com: Major In Game Twitter Feeds Football Page Bulls on Social Media Twitter: @USFFOOTBALL Instagram: USFFOOTBALL Facebook: facebook.com/SouthFloridaFootball Hashtags: #GoBulls; #HornsUp; #US2F, #Bullieve USF official site: https://gousfbulls.com/sports/football Tinmen official site: https://ucfknights.com/sports/football Live Stats South Florida Game Notes - South Florida Depth Chart - South Florida Stats Tinmen Game Notes - Tinmen Depth Chart - Tinmen Stats GoUSFBulls.com GAME DAY CENTRAL Go Bulls!

Welcome to TheBullsPen.com's Game 11 South Florida Bulls (1-9, 0-6) at Tulsa Hurricane (3-7, 1-5) November 18, 2022 9:00 PM EST - ESPN2 H.A.Chapman Stadium Tulsa, OK This will serve as our official in game thread for in game discussions and commentary. Stand alone topics should still be posted in a new thread. The board functions work well on mobile phone, tablet or desktop. The BullsChat chat room is also available. GAME DAY vs. Tulsa Hurricane USF will look to end an 11-game AAC losing skid and 17-game road losing skid as they play that last road game of the season at Tulsa, where the Bulls are 2-0 with a pair of come-from-behind victories in 2014 and 2018. The last two games in the series have been played in Tampa, with Tulsa winning 42-13 (2020) and 32-31 (2021). USF’s last road win came with a 45-20 victory at ECU on Oct. 28, 2019. BATTIE SEEKS 4 STRAIGHT: RB Brian Battie has posted 100-yard games in his last three outings as he increased his season rushing total to 873, just 137 short of the 10th 1,000-yard season in program history. BOYLES EYES 100 & GAMES PLAYED MARK: Having led USF in tackles in the last six games, LB Dwayne Boyles looks to become just the 13th Bull to post 100 tackles in a season (16 seasons overall) and the first since safety Khalid McGee (111) in 2018. He needs three tackles to become the 8th to post 300 on a career at USF. He currently has played in 52 career games, tied for the USF record, and will set a new mark when he steps on the field in Tulsa. Da PRATO & SIMS: Special teams coordinator Daniel Da Prato assumed acting head coach responsibilities in the wake of the dismissal of third-year head coach Jeff Scott. Co-Defensive coordinator/linebackers coach Ernie Sims assumed all defensive coordinator responsibilities as defensive coordinator/safeties coach Bob Shoop was also dismissed following the Bulls 54-28 loss at Temple (11.5). Da Prato is in his third season at USF and was a former quarterback at Louisiana Monroe (2002-03). Sims is also in his third season at USF. The former All-American linebacker at Florida State (2004) joined Da Prato in serving as co-defensive coordinators in the Bulls’ final game of the 2021 season vs. UCF, following the dismissal of then defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer. The Bulls held UCF to 12 first downs and 285 yards in a close, 17-13, loss.
