in college football

not even on most folks radar screens yet.  I get a lot of  "who-s-f?" and "where?" and "you have football?" when I am on the road.

if not how long will it take to get there?

10 years, less if ideal conditions exist

and what will it take to get there?

money, recruiting, big wins, alumni involvement (see money), smazza getting cheap flights from LAX

what benchmarks do we have to hit and why?

beat an SEC team, beat other national level programs, bowls, titles, more time on espn

i believe we are there now, and how long we will stay  

there may be a more important question.

Nope.. not even close.

if not how long will it take to get there?

At least 5 GOOD years.

and what will it take to get there?

Wins over teir 1 schools, Wins over teir 1 schools, Wins over teir 1 schools, Wins over teir 1 schools, Wins over teir 1 schools.

With that everything else comes automatically (money, TV time, fans, buzz)

what benchmarks do we have to hit and why?

People should start to get our name right....

People will know we are NOT in Miami (South Florida)...

People will know we are NOT in California (San Fran)...

Former USF players will become common in the NFL.  By this standard UCF is beating us... We really only need 1 or 2 superstars to get this.

We are not a national player yet to the casual fan but to the experts the Bulls define the word for potential in regards to Football.  When it comes to basketball, the Bulls are considered dead weight for the BE nationally IMO.

What will it take to get there?

One NBE conference FB championship and winning the BCS bowl game which follows

If not how long will it take to get there?

2 yrs minimum but 5 yrs on a optimistic schedule

What benchmarks do we have to hit and why?

See above.

Patience brother Bulls...Patience.

We are competing against schools with 100 + years of football history.  We are a mere 7 years old and have accomplished much in our young time on this earth.

Many many of us will be dead and gone when we are considered a power player on the gridiron.

By God I am **** proud of where we have gotten and I am **** excited about where we can go.  Continued support both on and off the field is what a YOUNG program such as ours needs.

So I say to each and everyone of my brother Bulls....FIGHT ON BULLS FIGHT ON.  Spread the word across this land that the BULLS are here and we are HERE TO STAY!!

If we can't go into big places and win (Alabama) we will never get there. We need to beat Pitt and USC, we need to win the conference championship.  We need to continue recruiting and we need to get some of the boys that UofF, FSU and Miami are getting.

[BIGJL]

This year proved to be a very big recruiting year for us and i think that each year it will only get better.  With the improved recruitng we will see more players that can come in and play right away and make an imediate impact for out team.  Every year it will just get better.  I know our record wasn't as good as the year before but i think we did improve as a whole and it will be a night and day difference next fall.  I think we will make an imediate impact in the NBE maybe even win the confrence.  As for next year the toughest games in confrence will be louisville and TCU.  The other teams are loosing a lot of prime time players and i dont think they can replace them like we can.    GO BULLS!!!

[smazza]

not until we beat a ranked opponent or win a bowl game

[Apis Bull]

We've already beaten a ranked opponent.  We have to get to a bowl game before we can win it.
