... but this one's a little tougher having met Charlie (charsibb) for the first time last December, and then had a blast watching our latest defense of that Vulcan trophy with him.

I haven't really done too much posting, but I had to write something to remember Charlie. For the couple of years he called Virginia home he was the mascot for the USF alumni association in the a

Although he remembers meeting us prior to, we met him the night before the San Jose State game last year. He sat with us and spent most of the evening with him.  Typing this with tears in my eyes.  Didn't know him well but he was a really insightful, nice guy.  Cancer really does suck.  He will be missed.

I'm mostly a lurker, have been since I joined in 2013. I have great respect for someone like charsibb who found time to contribute to a tight-knit community like TBP on such a consistent basis. If he was this passionate for the Bulls, charsibb was probably way more passionate for the things in life that really matter - family, friends, etc. 

 

RIP to Charlie and my sincerest condolences to those fortunate enough to share their lives with him.

Charlie PM'd me in July that he was going in for surgery on a huge tumor in the groin area and wasn't sure he was coming out then. He was setting me up at that time for notifying the board and the spreading of a portion of his ashes in the Bull fountain on campus. He came thru but was pretty certain he wouldn't see Christmas.

Got the call last Thursday from him saying his vital organs were shutting down and he probably wouldn't make it thru the weekend. He sounded awesome (said it was the Percocet) and we had a great 20 minute conversation .... but it was also one of the most surreal, most uplifting and most depressing conversations that I've ever had, triggering a flood of emotions when I hung up. His nephew's email arrived this afternoon.

Terrible news.  I meet Charlie at the Birmingham Bowl party and thought what a nice guy.   I am so sad today, we have lost a great Bull.    I am at a loss for words on how much of an impact he had on this board and on my thinking about things.

Charlie crashed outside of my duplex for two days in Scottsdale, Arizona, in 2010. My roommate (Jorge - a former USF student) and I offered him a couch to crash on, however he was content staying in the VW that he customized for his road trips. We hit a local bar and talked everything Bulls as well as Charlie's eclectic lifestyle on the road. If I recall correctly, he was on his way to teach as an adjunct at Marymount University where my oldest brother Tim had graduated from college. He was a sincere individual that loved USF and truly cared about people and their well being (and he made great conversation).

Take care Charlie until we meet again... and thanks for the password to the MadCow board that you sent me in 2017. Sorry I wasn't able to do better on my end to keep in touch with you in your final days... Godspeed.

Terribly sad news.  Met him for the first time at the happy four before the San Jose State game last year.  Rest In Peace Charlie.  I hate cancer!

    "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."
