Guest Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Bulls Defense doesn't work??Very few units ever have a nickname... and Stampede would be an offensive nickname (to me) - as in running up the score 'stampeding' over the opponent.I'm not so sure it needs a nickname, but if it does - why relate it back to USF? The Nebraska "Blackshirts" had nothing to do with Cornhusker, Big Red, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id rather have a reputation as being a mean and nasty defense than a corny nickname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if it's the loss of Kravitz (my guess.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-line really needs to step it up, same with the safeties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if it's the loss of Kravitz (my guess.)I know that we were wishing for shutouts against FIU and McNeese St and maybe not as close a game against UCF, but they have come through when needed which is what a great defense is all about. We keep forgetting we are only 10 years old. To a lot of teams, we would probably still be considered a warm-up game. Remember, not everyone wears green and gold glasses like us here at the bullspen. Like it or not, FIU is a talented team and UCF has some good players also. We have always talked about Florida and it's pool of football players. All the talented players that don't make it at UF, FSU or UM now go to FIU, UCF and here. Now, I am not saying we are not ahead of the curve when matched up against FIU and UCF, don't get me wrong. I'm just saying I think our defense is porous at times but comes up with the stops when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our D is good don't get me wrong, but we have had some let downs and have been giving up a lot of yards. Lets wait untill we are 10-0 or something before we start thinking up nicknames...

A groin injury might just slow you down a tad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
