Hoyas.  Anyway, the arena was packed and rocking.  When I think of our Bulls MBB and the past 2 outa three seasons (last yrs ending was great), it breaks my heart.  I can only remember about a dozen games in the past 6-8 yrs when the Sun Dome looked remotely like the other BE arenas during a MBB game - FSU, UF, TN, WS, Marquette, Cincinnatti.  USF to BE MBB has become what Temple was BE football.  That truly sucks.Will firing CRM solve this?  Personally, I am totally straddling the fence on Coach.  Coach McCullum to me is in the mold of Tony Dungy.  Great X n Os guy,  rock solid ethics and temperment but maybe a tad short on charisma.  I don't wanna another guy coming in here and saying "give me 3 yrs to be competitive" when that's what we have with CRM.  If Coach can't pull down a superstar in the next signing period or two, we're screwed.  This Huggins talk is a bunch of malarky too.  No way USF can afford to buy CRM out and pay Huggie $800K-$1.0MM per.  I don't want Mike Davis or Matt Doherty (da MD's ) either.  So its  gamble city again if Dougie Dub fires and hires.That's all I have to write.  This post sounds to much like a whining n complaining wussy so I'll stop.  The sitch is what it is but fuk me man this season is truly wretched.  BTW, I have tix to the last two games and I'm still going too 'cuz I support my Bull's. They always play hard unlike a few seasons removed.  Might even buy one for the Rutgers game.I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach McCullum has done a good job through some difficult circumstances to keep the team in games. We all have seen that he can coach and keep the team motivated. He does need to do a better job recruiting. Hopefully he can land Thomas and another impact player in April.Next year will be much better. Don't give up on Coach now. Remember only a year ago when he gave us hope after the 2 wins in the C-USA tournament. We hadn't had that feeling for a long long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rueben_horowitz Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Coach McCullum to me is in the mold of Tony Dungy.  I can't believe you said McCullum and Dungy in the same sentence...What an insult to Dungy and all he's accomplished. Keep drinking that Kool-aid. Rueb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for holding coaches accountable, but to be calling out Coach Mac after 2 years is ridiculous. Do you think he's had time to convince the top recruits to come to USF when he's selling an empty arena and no winning tradition? He needs time to build. It starts with hustle, heart, and defense. The Big East affiliation will help draw interest from better recruits, and the wins will start to come. Have some patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
