Exactly ..... which is why it's so hard being a USF fan.

We're fans, not abused spouses.

The fan through and through mentality has been exploited by such owners as Bill Wirtz Sr. and Harold Ballard. They knew fans would come no matter the product so didn't spend the money on their teams.

I'm not going to turn my brain off because I'm a fan. I'm going to still be objective and if anything more critical because it is my team. I'll excuse other teams underachieving because I don't care about them. Not gonna excuse it for the Bulls.

It's best to call it like it is.

You're happy with the Bham bowl then?  Nothing to complain about huh?  The program met your expectations this year?

Since you asked we are complaining about not winning the big game when it counts.  Anyone who is frustrated by that fact has a right to be.  If someone is not frustrated by this, then they have that right as well.

My favorite football team is the New Orleans Saints.  i'm a lifetime fan. Even when i moved from N.O to miami, i stayed a Saints fan and got made fun of for it. (My nickname was the "ain'ts"  in my neighborhood) I've learned how to love a football team no matter how sorry they are lol And when we do well, i am grateful. Same for USf, my love will  be there whether we win or lose. Of course i would have loved to see USF have "UCF's" success, but I have faith in the football Gods and USF will have their golden moment. I also remember how we sucked or  underachieved from the Levitt years through Taggarts first 2 years. 2017, USF has a top ten offense and 328th ranked defense, and we are 9-2 with two losses that were by a touchdown. Our two lossess last were were beat downs. Be frustrated all you want, but i'm grateful that we are having MORE success than in the past. Even if we didnt reach our goals. You gotta stay humble and grateful and the football gods shall reward us my friend.

There is a lot of truth to that.  I used to be on the paid board and when we were #2 in the country there was absolute silence for a couple of days.  It was almost like we didn't have anything to kvetch about.

Being frustrated and being humble and grateful are not mutually exclusive.

  • 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
