So, it sounds like I was better off watching the Miami Okl St football game. On a happier note the wife and I are scheduled for the vaccine in a couple weeks. I checked the app a few times. Saw we were up 12 and somehow didn't turn it on to watch. 

I grew up loving the U but bet OKSU because The U does not play bowl games, i got the antibodies so no need for the vaccine.  Good luck bro, tired of this pandemic

I'd look for the vaccine in 6 months Frisco for yourself. Got to drive to Orlando to get it because, like USF sports, the west coast of FL has got nuthin.

Just took a quick look at the stats. Only 7 assists.

[Gat-Rat Bull]

Seemed like the officials had no whistles. Normally, I'm good with that, but this Bulls team does not fit a "let 'em play" style of basketball. Not an excuse for the turnovers. It is a lot easier to play overly aggressive defense if you know you can get away with ticky-tack fouls though. Don't get me wrong. The lack of whistles went both ways, but no whistles definitely favored Memphis' style of play. Regardless, they have to be able to handle pressure regardless of the refs. Hope Collins and Yetna heal up fast. There are plenty of wins left for this team.

Did anyone see what CBG had to say about the end of the game? I am genuinely interested in his take.

[MikeG]

not sure--- but did you see what USF tweeted out?

4 points. Why is he is the poster boy for this game? Is this supposed to be funny?

From what I recall:

1. Team needs to get over the hump

2. You can’t simulate the trap in practice. Players need to think better.

3. Collins was hurt all week

4. Yetna was a leg injury that was precautionary...should be back for ucf

Cant you simulate the trap in practice by running the trap?

Yeah, I wasn't sure about that one either.  Other than maybe you don't run it as well in practice because they don't normally run it or don't run it as well

[MikeG]

well any team with good coaching will be able to see this weakness in any game film on USF-- so we better find some way to practice escaping the trap. To say it can't be practiced is NONSENSE to me.
