Final three have to be West Virginia, Auburn and FSU

 

If not, Louk's finally going senile ...

Does Taggart have any foundation games yet?  I would say no.

Was Pitt included?  That was our first top notch win, certainly should be a foundation game.

It wasn't. Great point and wouldn't be at all surprised to see it in there ..... maybe the foundation Louk is building will be leading the one leading up to 2007 so none of those 3 big ones may be included. It will be interesting to see how this ends.

If you look at the first paragraph of the first story, Jim talks about these are the wins before the flashy wins that built the foundation. So I don't think we are going to see FSU, WVU or anyone like that.

 

If you also look, so far every game has been in chronological order. So, here are some guesses of what is coming up.

 

USF winning at UAB, the Andre Hall game in the monsoon.

How about USF beating Southern Miss in Tampa.

 

The last win might be UCF in 2005 (the first time we played them).

 

Or, he could break the order, and name Kentucky Wesleyan as the last foundation win, which of course was the foundation for all future wins.

The route against #9 Louisville in 2005 turned some heads, too.

I'm thinking that Southern Miss game in Tampa is gonna be coming up.  That was foundational and a great experience.

Here's that paragraph Mike was talking about so I don't think that L'ville game will be there either:

 

Over the years, the stories have been told, the game stats analyzed, the memories shared and celebrated.  USF Football beats Florida State.  Miami.  Notre Dame.  West Virginia.  Louisville.

 

Great days indeed, but the list of landmark wins for the Bulls doesn’t end there. As we approach the 19th season of USF Football, some very good and very memorable wins from USF Football’s first dozen seasons helped take the program to the next level.

 

This summer we take a look back at 10 USF Football foundation wins.  They are not the greatest Bulls games of all time, and some of the opponents are far from national powerhouses, but the story lines for each are intriguing.  And these games, maybe as much as the blockbuster wins we all remember, show how the meteoric climb of USF Football began.

 

 

Although, if he is going chronologically, he's already in 2004 so maybe the Louisville rout may be one left .... maybe the first bowl win, over Skip, too.

Yeah it sounds like the Pitt game didn't make the cut, unless he mixes up the years.  We'll see if it qualifies as a foundation win.  I think that game is the definition of a foundation win.

well then i agree with the UCF game which was Grothe's coming out party up in the tinder box, god it was hot. but we were sooo loud, i remember bianchi complaining the next day about how loud the USF fans were. To me that was the biggest foundation moment of my USF fandom.
