I graduated USF in 1990 and saw the rise of MBB under Bobby Paschal. It was a fun time and at that time I wasn’t aware USF sports were cursed ;) Since then there have been spurts of success but nothing sustained. I am having trouble believing what I am seeing. Every time I tune in to a MBB game I expect the wheels to fall off and we lose that game and then the remainder. That would put me safely back in the dungeon of what we call USF athletics. It isn’t just MBB either. I expect the same for football. However, something in the back of my mind is telling me we may have just turned the corner…if I could just let myself believe. I’m not getting any younger at almost 57. Maybe this is the beginning of the rise of the “sleeping giant”…those older like me know we have been hearing that phrase for decades. Maybe this is it. Believe, believe, believe!!!

Been on the same ride my friend... 57, and still wanting the "sleeping giant" to come to fruition.

As former Coach Robert McCullum said. USF has been pregnant with possibilities. Finally we are witnessing new births of USF athletics. USF stayed clear from those hiring firms & let MK find his own choices for football & men’s basketball. Finally USF is doing it right imo

Lets hope so. What's exciting is all the players that will still have eligibility next year. The idea what this team will be capable off next year without a slow start and some additions is very exciting indeed. Maybe even this year.

Question I have does Miguel have another year of eligibility left?

I believe everyone is back with the COVID extra year with the exception of Jose Placer.  Jennings will still have 2 years left as he is redshirting this year.

  • Quotes

    "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."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22

    Last I checked the scoreboard doesn't have a spot for current bank balance on it.
