Joey Knight comparing USF to UT, further proof that he can't be trusted to represent USF.

He represents The Tampa Bay Times not USF.

Easily, Grothe for me. He made USF relevant in Tampa during his time. Seems invaluable to me at this point.

Agreed.  Any discussion of a USF mount Rushmore that doesn't include Grothe is a non starter

Agreed, but since this a Tampa Bay Rushmore, he has a few UT athletes to contend with.

I'll go ahead and say my point still stands, solely based on the games leading up to as well as including the 2007 WVU game.  For a Tampa Bay team, I'm not sure that stadium has ever been that full since then.  That was HUGE for Tampa Bay and without Grothe, that never comes close to happening.

I just don't know if that equates to the numbers and awards that Martinez put up.

  • .399 career BA
  • 54 HR
  • 3X All American
  • 1988 finalist for the Golden Spikes Award. 
  • The Award for the best player in division 2 is named after him 
  • National College Baseball HOF inductee '13. 

That's doing some serious work while wearing a uniform from a Tampa school. If that was a USF player, no one here would doubt his inclusion. 

I think Solomon has to be there his status as a pioneer of the option QB and his 19 rushing TD's in one season would be a school record at USF.

QF<MG, just my opinion on that and I think the numbers will speak for that as well.  

So MG over Charlie Bradley? I don't know enough about CB to make the comparison but I don't think its an easy choice. 

Plus that 52 to 44 TD/INT ratio is kinda glaring in hindsight. 

So I think with a strictly USF list, MG is a no brainer. But when you add UT, Solomon and Martinez are some pretty big names to just push to the side and then things get real nit-picky

I didn't read your whole post, but just wanted to point out that I merely said Grothe needs to be on there, and nothing I posted said anything about a preclusion for Tino being on it as well.

Well the whole post breaks down my opinion it’s not clear as day that he should be on there. There are four other options that’s could stake a claim.

    "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."
