I have less faith than you that any of this will stop because we beat Louisiana-Monroe in the Boca Bowl by 3 points.

I see where your coming from and get it. But, I think this Team needs the "W". Something to walk out on instead of another loss. Almost said Loser but corrected because none of these kids or coaches are losers. They need to fight someone for 4 quarters and come away with a win..and feel the pride.

Agree with you completely but JT is correct, a bowl win, even over a P5, isn't going to stop the " the naysayers/village burners will be tearing up the posts with hate speak...fire your mama chants" in here.

Here's a fun fact, though, in case we do lose to a non P5 in a bowl. The last loss for the reigning national champs was a blowout to a Sun Belt team in a bowl game ...... so there's always hope.

Playing in Tampa is way better than the Cure. The AAC may not want us to get rolled by a P5 but do they want us to get rolled by Troy???

I would hate to see a match up with App State at the cure bowl. That would be a very difficult game for the Bulls. They play with energy and their fans get into the game

Agreed. We’re most likely going to lose to whomever we play, so might as well be to someone that we were not expected to beat anyway.

Ha! didn't know if I should give you an up/atta boy arrow or a laughing head?? I will rest easier now that I am armed with your provided info. You kinda liked the old village burners-fire mama stuff hey? yes I can say, "Hey" because some of my mothers family came from Canada. Yep, JT is right on I'm sure if he's referring to the negative bs put out by the "fans"?? Sadly, negativity permeates society so why not this board. I'm sure that CCS will be reassessing along with MK injecting his take. I believe that USF is at the stage where 4,5,6 losses are totally unacceptable. I believe that we were out-coached in many games this year. So...changes needed. Tough for a coach to beat the drum wanting a practice facility and an ocs when you produce a product that doesn't perform. We were so one dimensional this year that each team we played just used the same game plan as the last one. So...we keep the faith because were part of this university.

At least our record against the power five in our last 9 match ups are 8-1...

It would be a quality loss that would help us with the preseason rankings

Well now, in terms of the USF program overall after losing 5 straight a loss to a lower tier program would be insult on injury. Ok maybe "devastating" is too too strong for the fainthearted but, it would suck the big banana as far as recruiting and team self-esteem not to mention...the naysayers/village burners will be tearing up the posts with hate speak...fire your mama chants.  So, to me yep...a loss would be pretty "traumatic" (there that's softer0..and have ripple effects. So the easy answer is..just win the **** bowl game..

Man you have me cracking up at work. You are a fool man! lol

My worry is that our offense looks good suddenly against a SB or CUSA team in the nobody bowl, and Gilbert is retained. I don’t think it will happen, but it’s possible.
