I checked his account, and it all looks like unbiased objective statements to me.

Eventually all of this greed will decimate the national fanbase.  The more exclusive they make the national championship process, the less fans they will have.  I am a USF fan, and I'm not going to pi

Everyone involved in managing our pathetic program over the past 10 years should be fired out of a cannon into the bay.

Just win.  Get ranked at the end of the season and it will work itself out.  There is so much noise right now that it is easy to lose focus on the goal which is to win as consistently as possible.  The rest is just noise.

I also believe that we fans need to be realistic in our expectations of the team and the admin.  Some people have been assuming  that since we are not now in a P conference that our admin forgot to try and do their job or they just stink at it.  This line of thinking is predicated on the proposition that USF is so valued and desired that Kelly need just let the football world know that we are available and we will have to fight off the offers.  Reality - Not everyone outside of our fanbase has such an inflated opinion of our program.  I know, I know - AAU, TV market, Florida address, yadda yadda.  We have no ***** wins!  We don't deserve a seat at the table...yet.  We're getting ready to go into debt for a project that I hope like Hell that we will be able to pay for.  And it turned out to not be our ticket into a P conference.  Perhaps an OCS was not keeping us out after all.  Maybe it is our record and institutional history with this program.  While the bells and whistles are nice, they are liabilities financially without the wins.

I suggest that we tune out the noise and accept that right now, we are not very marketable and that is why we missed out.  That changes tomorrow.

No, it is predicated on them not investing a single dollar in the program while getting lapped by other schools while getting relegated. This wasn't the fans fault it was the admin plain and simple.

Stop making excuses for this school crapping themselves.

Well, what if - just throwing it out there - App State and friends were not interested in joining the AAC, for some reason or other. Hmmmm...🤨

Why would that be? Because i could throw things out there too.

Probably because they believe Tulane, Memphis, USF and others are looking for a way out

It is so easy to say.  Which member of the admin that is still here "crapped themselves" and refused to invest a single dollar in the program?

And "the fan's fault"?  Whatever, dude.  Strawman much?

Acceptance is a struggle.  I would like the peace that comes along with it though.  The saying is that nothing worth having comes easy.  Just keep working.  Go Bulls!

If only our AD prioritized winning and didn't extend college football's biggest loser after year 2. We could have hired a competent coach and already moving in the right direction. The football extension failed, the men's basketball extension failed, and baseball is trending in the wrong direction two years in a row after the extension.  If baseball doesn't take a huge step forward this year then time to get a new coach. You can't keep guys that have losing records three years in a row.
