That is all we ask for. We don't need a cheerleader, just someone who treats the program fairly and not an afterthought. I am unsure why the media all think that we want a cheerleader. I remember years ago when I lived in Pasco I could hear a New Orleans station at night. Mike Ditka talked about a lot of local and national sports including Tulane football. He certainly wasn't a cheerleader but he knew the players and talked about their games. You know, fairly and with respect. I think Ditka has more credibility than all of the media in Tampa put together and that includes the ones who go out of their way to disparage the program. Interesting. Why would Ditka do a radio show from NoLa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used him as an extreme example of someone who has achieved at the highest level but still could relate and talk about the local team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only think Chicago when I think of Ditka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now the daily stampede is the best coverage for USF football. I know a lot of people hate on em, but it's true. Many times, this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a great way to interact with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told him that is was 100% because of the negative articles written by them at almost every opportunity. He said that he has not heard that before. The only complaints he heard was FSU fans complaining about the UF bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
