It does make zero difference now in the AAC...it would have made a difference in the BE...the Titanic sailed and CJL was our captain.

It’s not for lack of reason. We self inflicted a wound at about the least opportune time. We then made a horrible hire, to replace a legend that only lasted three years as we managed to go 3-9. We fel

More just support for USF than fired up. A lack of support, I think, will be one of the determining factors when the next round of realignment comes around. Then we can all sit around and blame it on

I can’t imagine having to go thru life denying the only success we have ever had as a program and needing to besmirch the only captain we have ever had that unfortunately was taken down by the Doug and Judy iceberg. When it comes to measuring Jim the only question that needs to be asked: “is our program better off now than it was 10 years ago”?

No it’s not....because of not winning a BE championship.

You are wrong and I know this because I have traveled back in time and altered various courses of history and us winning all of the BEAST titles had zero effect on us staying out of the AAC and cozying up to UCF. Only one single thing changed the entire course of our program and that was keeping CJL. I would tell you more but I don’t want to ruin my novel for you.

When you go back in time again can you buy me 500 shares of Amazon common stock and 300 shares of Apple preferred stock. That should just be enough to get the IPF started.

With attendance we had in the Big East years, winning conference titles would have allowed that to continue, this creating more revenue and the clear sight of fan support for the football program.  Chances are good that we would have had a seat at the big boy table shortly thereafter also due to TV market.  

Now if your novel was a Choose Your Own Adventure book and this was one of the endings, I'd do all I could to promote it as a bestseller.  Without this ending, your novel is a non-starter and I call BS on your revisionist historical fiction.

Your purchase of amazon stock messes up the space time continuum and Amazon collapses. That’s why I could keep us in the parallel where CjL stays our coach, the butterfly effect had a negative impact on me personally.

You will have to wait for the book, until then you are only postulating and I can’t support that.

Thanks for confirming the alternate ending I asserted isn't in the book, and the book is therefore dead on arrival.
