It’s not folklore where there was a goose that laid a golden egg everyday but the owner got greedy and wanted all the gold at once, so he killed the goose (wrongly thinking he could get all the gold it wasn’t giving him at the rate he desired) resulting in no more gold? He was our founding father for sure and maybe that’s a better way to describe it but I certainly think there are unmistakable parallels to what CJL was producing, the desire for more, the belief he was holding us back from it, the killing of him to get to the gold faster and the end result of less gold than he was producing prior to the murder.

Absolutely 100%

It took me a while to get over the fraud that was the investigation and the shameful actions and lies about the person that started this program.  I bounced back and have remained a supporter.  There

I became a fan during his last 2/3 years. I remember a man that couldnt get past 8/9 wins while USF was in a power conference. I have no issues with Levitt. He started USF football and was wrongfully

Did it ever occur to you that some of us just like the guy-- the way he coached, talked, ran the team, and busted his ASS for USF? It is not all about record when it comes to CJL. The guy would show u

West Virginia dominated the BEAST while we were in it, since they have moved they have yet to bring in a B12 Championship in 7 years. Louisville was right up there in the Big East but has looked pretty mortal in the ACC. Moving up is difficult for any program even if they are successful and have history. During CJL' s tenure we were always on the move up and stayed competitive at every level, that anyone could have been unhappy with his success is unfathomable to me (Especially now that you have the 20/20 vision of hindsight and see the success we have had as we moved down in the world).

I would have been fine with that, but they would have had a lot to pay him.  They used the "cause" reason to get out of his contract.

Honesty is the best policy.
- B. Franklin

I'm in a playful mood today for some reason. Have no idea if this is accurate but since it is on the internet it must be so.

https://www.answers.com/Q/Who_said_Honesty_is_the_best_policy

The first printing of the maxim in English appeared in Europae Speculum (1599), by Sir Edwin Sandys, an English nobleman and a founder of the colony of Virginia: "Our grosse conceipts, who think honestie the best policie" - translated as "A prime concept, who think honesty the best policy." "Honesty is the best policy" is one of the most popular maxims in the English language - perhaps the most popular. In a poll rating children's familiarity with wisdom cliches, it ranked at the top - and equivalent versions exist in virtually every language. American educator E. D. Hirsch, Jr. cites it as one of a handful of proverbs that every child must learn at an early age - the earlier the better - in order to acquire good behavior.

It was perhaps the favorite motto of America's first President:

I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best policy.

- George Washington, Farewell Address.

Speaking of goose, you are a silly goose.

A program doesn't start on day one as a DI-AA independent (or whatever we started as) and measure their effectiveness by championships in a BCS conference within 10 years of their existence.  That's foolish.

Enjoy your 4th place trophy...

Ow that hurts.

I did enjoy watching the impressive program we had and I still enjoying discussing it. 

You enjoy whatever it is that you do - your championship chases, I suppose.  And when USF wins that conference championship, I hope it meets all your needs.

Would you rather be the fourth highest paid person in the NFL or the top paid person in the XFL? Is winning the championship in the AHL better than coming in fourth in the NHL? Does anyone honestly believe winning the CBI was better than losing to Duke by 1 in the NCAA? Winning isn’t everything and existing in a vacuum of good, the factors that surround the victory or the loss play as big of a role as the result.

Funny you mention that.  I've been a SF Giant all my life. They won the World Series the year before I was born.  Then had to wait until, what was it, 2010 to finally see it in my lifetime. I was euphoric and actually cried because my dad was gone and he would have loved to have seen it.  

But that feeling lasted a couple of days and life went on.

    "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."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22

    “This is not a broken football program by any means. It just needs to be united, to get everybody on the same page, share that same vision, and really to have that standard - best is the standard.”
