Would have preferred he'd said:

"I just want to say to the USF alumni of Tampa Bay, and worldwide, that the Bulls are your college team. I don't care who you grew up supporting, I don't care who you root for on the professional levels. The USF Bulls are your team."

Haven't yet listened to the presser so if he did address that, never mind .....

And at the end of the day, that's probably what he is really saying without actually calling out those USF alumni that still drive to gainesville for a game, but not RayJay.

Why would he want to exclude University of Tampa people, for example?

We could rip it apart on either side of the argument.  I’m just happy we have an AD that will start the discussion.

If you are trying to build support why not focus on those with ties to the university and the local corporations.

Regardless of the way he put it, I've got to assume he's sharp enough to realize that this is priority number one when it comes to that aspect of the program ....

No room for small thinking.

I like what he said, but I will judge on action and results.  Not words.  I’m gonna be optimistic.

Just when I think there's nothing left for some of you to ***** about, you surprise me.  If he wants to try to convert Tampa Bay locals that root for another school I say, more power to him.

Come on man, we turned a celebratory post about making pre-eminent status into a pissing match about who has the best idea of what is needed to get to P5. We can ruin anything.

Glad he said it. He already seems to know what part of the problem is.

With his contacts, these are the things I hope he can accomplish (in no particular order):

IPF

Football facility

OCS

Schedule more P5 games

Get us into a P5 conference

#1 for me is fan base.  I think he might agree.
