I think there's a legitimate concern we end up Colorado State rather than SDSU. Nice stadium, lifeless program, no prospects for moving up. 

I get that.

Within a 10 mile radius of Colorado State's campus there are 217,188 people

Within a 10 mile radius of USF's campus there are 726,262 people

Denver to Fort Collins is a 90 minute drive, people aren't making it unless the team is good. In terms of ability to consistently fill a stadium regardless of team success, USF's floor here will be much bigger.

And you wouldn't be competing for the best, or even high impact, players still.

The good news is college sports is all about the coaching staff. As USF fans we should know as we were beating teams with supposedly better players on those teams we beat under Leavitt. Get us a good coaching staff and everything will fall into place. I’m not buying into the NIL narrative as an excuse just yet

Also I can’t thank you enough for all that you have already donated towards USF. You are and have always been a great supporter of USF so many thanks to you!  

All of the past donations mean doo doo going forward it seems. Maybe we have enough priority points to get seats we can no longer afford to buy.

Not to be an a-hole but...

Within a 10 mile radius of Colorado State's campus there are:

0 NFL teams.

0 NHL teams.

0 Theme parks.

0 20,000 Seat amphitheatres.

0 Large casinos.

We're compeeting for a much higher percentage of people's money and time.

I will certainly beg to differ about the past donations. They will certainly mean much going forward.

People this needs to be a happy time!!! We are getting an OCS!! Let’s embrace it and use it to help us move forward. I can just imagine that first day in the stadium. We are all going to have such pride.

I'll second that

We can control our effort and our attitude. Enough with what could have been or too late or too whatever. We're taking action to get to where we all want USF to be. That's a good thing.

You left a few things off. Although i guess you could lump them into the "theme park" category.

If you would have told me in 1997 I'd sit in the worst seat of the on campus stadium I would have been elated to buy OCS tickets back then..  

I may not be entirely happy with my seat location in the 2026 OCS, but it'll beat my best seat ever in RJS!
