whoa... USF is a 21.5 point favorite over ECU??

[TRUTH D. Antagonist]

not that I don't have faith in this squad, but that's a HUUUGE line.

i expect a W, I can see a double-digit win, but 3 touchdowns + ??

has Vegas actually watched us play this season?

I have a thing about not betting on my team's games, especially AGAINST them, but that line (even at -21.5) was tempting.

24 points is even more insane. I can see why the line moved.

all I want is a win with the Bulls in control for 4 quarters.

3 TD's would be incredible, but I'll be happy a game that doesn't give me a heart attack. lol

Agreed bro, this isn't Willie's old offense. Seems like most of our games are ball control wins now, where we focus on efficiency on offense, rather than running up the score. USF wins 38-23ish

[TheBullies]

I agree. My heart can’t handle many more of these 4th Q comebacks... no matter who is doing the coming backing.

When we score

I want more!

I feel this will be a blowout win for us. NC stunk last year, and were projected by many to continue stinking this year, and they were VERY depleted Vs. ECU. And remember, the Pirates lost to an FCS team in week 1. I realize that we have our own issues, but we will be fine this week.

Our offense put up over 600 yards on a bad day, on the road, against a team that's probably about as good as ECU. This should be an absolute field day for Barnett & company, and they may very well cover the spread. The staff admitted they didn't have the team ready for Illinois, so I'm sure they got their **** together this week, and will be ready.

I get a kick out of seeing their McCants responses. They must read our McCants threads...

quote from the ECU 247 board:

Quote

I believe if you go just north of South Florida you will reach Miami where the most pro products come out of the entire country.

so Miami is "just north of South Florida" ?

i mean, i get the name is confusing to casual fans given our actual location (west-central Florida), but we've been playing ECU for over a decade & took one of their program's best coaches (who turned out to be our worst) & these ECU "fans" still don't know where USF is located?

do they think we are FIU? do they think we're located in the Keys? or do they just not know where Tampa, one of the 10 biggest media markets in the country, is located?

"ECU rhymes with..."

[Brad]

Honestly most of our fans probably don't know where ECU is located.  Some may even think East Carolina is a state.  Not that anyone would ever want to visit....
