I'm not expecting anything this season. I'm hoping we see improvement each week and we don't repeat last season where one week we see improvement and the next it like we forgot how to even play. I don't see us going above 4 wins this season. Next year is where I would look for us to possibly go bowling but I could live without one if we finished 5-7 next year. Year 3 is where i have to see us in a bowl game. 

I am expecting/wanting 6 wins and a crappy bowl game for 2020.  I know we are bad, but I really don’t think we are only a 4 win team in the AAC bad.  Hope your expectations don’t turn out to be right.

It’s much better than our approach since of adding losing early in the season, losing against any opponent anyone has ever heard of before and losing to UCF to the mix.

Speak truth to power! Leavittism forever!

The heretics continue to laugh and make jokes as we continue to burn thru losses and coaches at the pace we used to burn thru conferences and ranked opponents. One fact still remains and that is every single measurable accomplishment in our programs history is owed to one man. I envy their ability to ignore all reality and revel in the failure they demanded.

If we get to 6 wins I would be thrilled. The talent and player developed went down under strong.

I am as big a fan of Leavitt's as anyone.  Quite honestly, I never cared for Taggart or Strong, but this post is sort of clueless about USF Football.

The win at Notre Dame was under Holtz. 

As far as measurable results, the 2 best W-L records in school history were under Taggart and Strong.

NCAA record (at the time) for consecutive games of 30 points or more was set under Taggart/Strong.  

I am not taking the time to look it up, but I am guessing that most offensive records in school history were set under Taggart.

Taggert and Strong where playing for the title of Tallest Midget in the AAC, no comparison to Big East play

Are these records as much as they are obscure facts? CWT also holds the records for worst season in history and only loss to an FCS opponent since becoming FBS I guess if you just randomly come up with silly things to measure the also rans are littered with accomplishments but when you measure things people typically look at for college football success our history is made up of one man.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
