Stand alone topics should still be posted in a new thread. For those preferring the brand new chat room for in game discussion, you can find the BullsChat! chat room link in the above title bar, the mobile menu selection or click here. Both the board and the chat room function well on mobile phone, tablet or desktop. GAME DAY VS UMASS The Bulls and Minutemen will meet for the first time a year after originally scheduled and in Amherst instead of Tampa. The game will be televised by Eleven Sports and aired in the Bay Area on WFLA sister station WTTA Great 38. Last year’s contest, originally set for Oct. 14, 2017 in Tampa, was rescheduled to 2022 after Hurricane Irma forced USF to reschedule a conference date with UConn (Sept. 9) and subsequent shuffling moved a contest with Cincinnati into the Oct. 14 date. This will be the Bulls’ first game in the state of Massachusetts. USF will look to improve to 5-0 for the second straight season and for the sixth time in program history. USF started 7-0 in 2017 for the program’s best-ever start. ROAD WARRIORS: USF has gone 11-2 away from Tampa (8-2 in true road games) in the last three seasons and has won five straight games vs. non-conference opponents away from Tampa, including a pair of bowl games and four victories over Power Five programs. The Bulls have averaged 40.6 ppg in their last 13 games away from Tampa, failing to score at least 30 points just once (this season vs. Illinois). BULLS LOOK TO EQUAL BEST 4-YEAR WIN TOTAL: Just five games into the 2018 season, USF will look to equal the program’s best-ever win total over four seasons with a victory at UMass. The Bulls are in the midst of the most successful run in program history (33-9 (78.5 %) since 2015) and a 34th victory in a four-year period on Saturday would equal the 34 wins (34-18 (65.0%)) posted from 2006-09. USF has gone 25-4 since the start of 2016, including 11-1 in non-conference games (two bowl wins) with the only loss coming to No. 13 Florida State (2016). That includes a 32-6 mark in the last 38 games, which ranks FIFTH in the nation over that time.

TRUTH D. Antagonist Posted October 6, 2018 Group: Member Topic Count: 155 Content Count: 5,249 Reputation: 342 Days Won: 2 Joined: 10/09/2007 Share Posted October 6, 2018 i grew up in Mass before moving to Florida in high school. my ma is a UMass Amherst alum. some of my earliest sports memories as a kid were watching Marcus Camby take the Minutemen to the Final Four in the early '90s. I've always liked their sports programs & hoped for their football to be respectable someday... today is not that day. the Bulls have had 4 games-- three of them against teams better than UMass-- to get their legs under them. I expect USF to show out today. IDK what the line is, but 3 touchdowns seems like a reasonable expectation. then again, the Bulls seem to play down to their competition & a tight game wouldn't surprise me because that's what this team does. Lol. i had my ass clenched for 5 innings last night as the Sox nearly pissed away a 5-0 lead before squeaking out Game 1 of the ALDS...... I'd really like nothing more than a relaxing blowout today.
