Good thing ND turned the ball over 5 times in that game.  We should have had more points, but Skip was Skip.  Another 5 minutes and we lose that game.  But yes, this was the last decent win by us.  It also followed the Clemson win in the Car Care Bowl, making that two game stretch the best in history.

Hard to imagine that was 4 years ago... Was an awesome road trip! Amazing game, however their fans were not very inviting, at least not like Auburn's or even FSU's.

I don't agree. I walked around the campus all day buying food from the student orgs and mostly people were shaking our hands. I maybe got one friendly ribbing when we were taking a photo with Rocky on campus.

The only time I felt some angst was the next morning when I was buying up all the discounted USF ND swag and they saw my Florida ID.

Same here. I thought the fans were very friendly. Even had one offer us a beer walking up to the stadium.

The people who worked at the stadium (ushers?) we not nice either.  After the game we were cheering in the stands near the endzone with the team and one of the ushers looked at me and said "Quit down!  Show some respect!" while their band played a song.  

 

All I have to say is his tears were delicious.

In the airport the next day, had a ND fan ask in a Butch & Sundance kind of way, "Who are you guys??" Told him not to sweat it, it's what we do. Ask Auburn and FSU .................................. ****, maybe I jinxed us!

So NOW we know.  It wasn't Miller, Skip, Tags or Woolard.  It was YOU, YOU I say that ended USF football.

 

Have to admit I remember talking to some Auburn fans before the game.  And they asked "Where is South Florida?"  And I told them they would know by the end of the game.  Imagine me being confident about USF football?  Been a long time.  Of course that was before I joined the Bullspen.  In fact that was the tailgate that I learned about it.

We had a similar interaction in Auburn, albeit a little more offensive (not intentionally). Everybody we ran into was super cool and friendly and all that, but we had a few ask us "Oh you guys are that school from Orlando right?"

Maybe me coming to that realization will reverse the jinx ..... If we go on to have the year we're all hoping for, I'm taking full credit.

When we were walking to the train a little guy (could have been a leprechaun) sitting alone on the hood of his car yelled to me and my friend "you're welcome for the gift!".

 

I just thanked him for wearing our colors.  He almost fell of his car he was shaking so bad.

  • Quotes

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
