Matt Baker is so disingenuous when he tries to imply that USF fans somehow want a cheerleader.  He is unable to write a story without some sort of snarky comment or without casting aspersions about th

Matt Baker has made it a point to mention on twitter before that he doesn't root for USF, just reports on them. Any inside scoops should be leaked to Charley Belcher for local reporting. This is the a

Great to see that.  Most local media are for their sports teams, Matt somehow feels that covering USF puts him in the Yale of journalistic situations and he is above that. You can both support yo

Based off of what they have done with the indoor, I'm excited with all the other master-plan builds and how great that side of campus will be now. The next 3-4 years will look a lot different 👀

Does anyone even subscribe to the Tampa Times anymore?   If I hit their paywall when I click on a link to one of their articles, I use various ways to get past it, that is if the article is even worth the effort.  The incognito browser, clearing cookies, a VPN or some combination of those will defeat their paywall.   I refuse to click on any of their ads on their website as well.  

We do not need a cheerleader, but we need decent coverage.   We are the frigging DI school in Tampa.   We do not need a Bianchi, who leaves sticky stuff on his keyboard and mouse every time he discusses his precious Gators.   The Sun Sentinel, which is the Ft Lauderdale cousin paper of the Orlando Sentinel, has better coverage of UCF than our local paper has for USF and no one in "south Florida" cares about UCF.   It is all UM, UF and FSU down there.

I do. Read it online occasionally and get an actual paper on Sunday. Try to read that but life is different for me since Jan.

Same here. I'm a holdover from the Tampa Tribune. One of life's simple pleasures is reading the Sunday paper during breakfast by the pool (which can be done almost year round down here). Interestingly, I 'edit' the paper rendition on Wednesday and Sunday. One of the sections that gets set aside for the recycle bin is the Sports section. There's just way too much access to sports information via the interwebs, podcasts, and red-e-oh.  If the wife happens across a good high school story, I'll read it, but for the rest of the sports news, not the TBT.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
