CJS has mentioned him and the work he put into the program.

CJL wasn't fired for what happened or didn't happen in the locker room that night.  He got fired because he pressured Miller in the middle of the night to change his story.  I was told at the time by

Leavitt was fired because the powers at be wanting him out . . . and he's not coming back. Forever a Leavitt fan!! He built this program from the ground up!! Go BULLS !!!

Media is really not needed anymore if you think about it, not for USF Football.  The people on twitter aren't media.  They're just freelancers building "followers".  With all the access, why do you need someone to tell you what you can see for yourself?  They are only tools now, either that work in your favor or against you.  Bianchi worked in favor of UCF.  TBO worked against USF - to feed their misplaced egos.

And I am saying Chris is doing that for us (not print media). Is he doing that to get clicks and get attention? Sure, but I could care less. He is on the airwaves saying positive things about USF. Just wait until he starts reporting about the stadium developments today.

Is he saying this on "airwaves"?  Or just his typical twitter USF vs. UCF banter?  Sounds like he's trying to rile up UCF fans again if he's speaking favorable about USF.  I stopped following him a year or three ago.

Sorry, I’m being grumpy. USF can take whatever interest their is on twitter and capitalize.  I shouldn’t be so critical of the (social) media.

On the airwaves…he has a video blog through the station has USF guests all the time. Also his sports coverage on tv also has a nice slant toward USF. Again, this has been something that occurred about four months ago so I am not sure if it is him or a station directive (but I bet it’s his initiative).

Oh hell, I completely understand. To be clear I HATE social media…it has destroyed our society as far as I am concerned. But I’ve learned to follow the things that I have an interest in and block out the things that are wasteful (like I have done with a few of the posters on this board as well 😀).

This appears to be correct.

Bianchi worked in favor of Bianchi. He's stuck in a glorified college town when it comes to major sports and he desperately wanted the home team to be at a higher level for HIS benefit, having games with Baylor and Oklahoma State to cover instead of games against Tulsa and SMU. Same pimping happened here with the media when Tampa Bay was entering the pro sports market ....

I actually have a theory here...90 days ago was the IPF groundbreaking ceremony where Weatherford had those comments about the stadium.

If you look at his tweets the weeks before they were mentioning how a stadium isn't really needed and was talking about how UCF was going to get a Big 12 invite for x,y, and z reason. But since then he has been pushing the OCS, been positive about USF, and leaks USF related news here and there.

Idk how it works but it seems like someone in the know is trading him access and info in exchange for him painting USF in a more positive light.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
