F*** it! I am still all in. I am getting older but give me USF football until the day I die. We could be Div3 for all I care. I gave $ to help start the program when I really did not have $ to give. S

I still am excited for USF football but nothing compares to the excitement I had during peak years of our Big East run. Rivals were better and we had a shot in the BCS.
