South Florida: The Bulls finished with an 8-5 mark, but that record wasn't a great reflection of how the team played. The Bulls were slow out of the gate, starting 1-3 with losses to Florida State, Maryland, and a Memphis team that went on to have a strong season of its own. Another loss came on Halloween on the road against Keenan Reynolds and Navy. Link 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, okay. I honestly thought we would have fallen out of the media's investment portfolio by now, but with one strong surge near the end of last season (in the AAC no less) we've made it back to "buy" status and I just feel like it's too soon for our stock to be this inflated. :end metaphor: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never winning 10 games, never winning a conference championship, one good season out of the last five... BUT! IF we did win and get in, who would our coach be in 2017? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we did, we wouldn't lose CWT, we'd probably be called up to the Power 5 at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I think that's a very realistic scenario...the coach thing, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They beat us and frankly were better than us last year but they had a senior laden team (who have since moved on) and we were loaded with Sophmores (who are now Juniors). Based on that we are expected to be better than last year and towards the end, were really very good. WKU could reload but probably have quite a few more unknowns and thus don't make these lists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
