In what ways will an OCS tremendously help the football program? Recruits like it. Trust me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come a big time BE team cann't do the same ? I myself love RayJay and could care less if they ever move. By the way, I found myself looking up for the replay all the time when I went to the Miami game long after I knew there was no jumbo-tron. Force of habit. Really did miss it and I realized how spoiled we where to have such a nice facility to play in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WITHOUT an on-campus stadium?Considering where we've come from, I think we will be able to make do until the time's right for an OCS . Until then, we don't NEED one.

Trust me...joe, you've become my new best friend.. i think whats most upsetting about the old people on this board is that they are so negative about the direction of a possible OCS.. to them, it seems **** near impossible.. but you and i know that it IS possible.. we see UCF doing it, FAU doing it, UCONN doing it, and doormat programs like RUTGERS doing it.. and i'd like to hear someone argue about the "long standing tradition of rutgers" because thats a perfect example of a program that has rode through the mud since the existance of college football and it still gets a stadium deal despite the fact.. these same people who think "an OCS is impossible" probably thought "getting USF football to a BCS game in ten years" was impossible 10 years ago.. whats so great about this program is that it is so proactive and it CAN get things done, we, as USF supporters need to be more proactive in things that will help the program, as opposed to being apathetic about them.. and YES, a stadium on campus, to call our own, made by the university and for the university IS a good recruiting tool.. as opposed to borrowing a stadium from someone else (regardless of the quality). who wouldnt want a HOME stadium?
