Yet you had UT, and UF, as a top 30 team, which is still a joke. 

Let's see your top 25 or 30!

Look, the guy publicly released how he voted.  Right now there isn't much to go on, so give him a break.  Things will work themselves out later on in the season. 

 

Go Bulls!

A game was played for almost every team. Plenty to go on.

I don't think Tennessee and Florida should be ranked, but somehow the media missed Michigan State's 28-13 thrashing of a 3 win FCS team.

I really don't care at this point. The polls are what they are and won't mean much until everything starts shaking out in a few weeks.

If we're that good we'll get attention and move up. If UT or UF is that bad, they'll move down. 

Blowing a fuse or calling out a beat writer in week 2, when his poll echoes a lot of the other media (not saying that's a good thing) is dumb and more of a shot at this board's asinine dislike of JK.

Come November, this can become a legit gripe.

JK is terrible at his job. This week isn't the reason I feel that way. This week's poll is further proof of something going back multiple seasons. Just like you're cautioning me not to read too much into a single week's poll or performance by a team, stop trying to defend Joey's overall work with one week's example. Neat. His poll echoes a lot of other media this week. If the best example of good writing JK can produce is that his week 1 poll is pretty much the same as other writers around the country...that's a pretty low bar.

There are 128 FBS teams.  Joey Knight insists on being the 1 out of 128 to report actual turnstile attendance instead of just announced like 127 of 128 others.  Literally every other 127 FBS programs only use announced attendance.

This info by Knight is then IMMEDIATELY used by about 500 UCF fans to bash USF.  Guys like Knight Light repost that info within 2 seconds of Joey's release, like they are waiting on this info.  No one will ever know what these program's actual attendance really is, because it is never given.  Every program, from those with OCS's to those playing off campus, like Miami, UConn, Pitt, you name it, ONLY give and have reported announced attendance.  Every single one.  If you can find one other report, from the other 127 teams, giving actual attendance instead of announced, I will give you $100.

If this doesn't bother you, then what is wrong with you.

No one called Greg bad names when he reported these numbers for years as the USF beat writer.

This anger towards Joey is idiotic, week 2 poll coming off a win over a mid-level FCS team included.

I may be mistaken but although GA reported them, I don't recall him being fixated on them like JK is. Case in point, from today:

Win and they will come? That hypothesis has yet to be realized in the Taggart era. The Bulls have won their past five at home and eight of their last 10 overall, but actual attendance for Saturday's home opener against Towson (22,626) was only slightly higher than the 2015 opener against FAMU (21,928).

Just as an FYI, the announced attendance for the FAMU game game was 30,434 (compared to 36K this year) with a lot healthier dose of visiting fans than this year. There's no telling how much Hermine affected travel plans, along with those who may have had property damage. Bottom line is that there were positives compared to last year, attendance wise, and it was a chicken **** move on his part.

I don't think that JK does that bad of a job on our beat, and I don't think we should have been in his vote this week (even though overall it was a joke) but he deserves every ounce of crap heaped his way about this attendance ********.

And he wondered why I treated him so poorly when he came around .... He's been pulling that **** since Day 1.
