Nothing says I’m ready to fight quite like fainting in the face of adversity

Bad things happen in 3's.  

1. Firing of CJL.
2. Loss of LeeRoy Selmon
3. Capitulation of the Big East (and USF getting left behind).

Sad days for USF football, my friends.  Prefer not to relive those moments.

Whoa Brad...This is tossing sands in our wounds.   Make a TeaTotaler drink early(ier) than normal...

Another spin around the block. The Big East was walking towards imploding because it basically had three factions.

1. The Catholic non football schools which at best tolerated UL and UC and held their nose at the addition of USF. They had their own agenda.

2. The old football guard Cuse,Pitt,Rutgers, WV and UConn they were all looking for greener pastures and would bail at any invite.

3. UL, UC and USF the only ones really happy at the situation and being in BE.

Pitt and Cuse were working behind the backs with ACC and it didn’t matter how big BE contract would be it wouldn’t have matched ACC.

ESPN orchestrated the entire thing. They were complicit with Pitt and Cuse. Tortious Interference at it's finest.

I hope it never gets worse than those 3 for our program. I can't take much more.
