USF's biggest problem:

[pops94]

Do we want other teams to hate us or respect us????

I would prefer to have the "War Eagles"  on September 15th when I walk out of Jordan-Hare respect the green and realize we earned it, and it will be mutual. Even if we beat them,  they will have earned my respect with what their program does every year and the amount of passion their fans bring to every game.  

I think Louisville and WVU getting on the plane heading South next year know they better show respect or else they will get punched in the mouth.

pops, i think youre missing the point.

im talking about fans here. right now, USF is the "nice little kid next door". he's cool and all, but you aint inviting him to your birthday party.

Things will change when we beat Miami in 2009.  Their lucky, we would have beaten them this year, if we had played.  No question about it.

^I can say that for football.

When we lost to UConn last season and Cincy this season, I can say that I was physically sick for at last a day.

Same here.

More UConn though...

^oh, of course.  The ramifications of that game were realized soon afterwards.

It was bye bye Sugar =/

I think USF's biggest problem is that we wear the wrong shade of green on our uniforms.  ;D

No one hates USF.

How many times have you been in a conversation with a fan of say FSU or Miami or whatever and you say something negative about their school and the person asks, "you must be a Gator" or "you must be 'Nole". Then you answer with, "no, i'm a USF fan."

Suddenly, the conversation turns, and they say "oh, i like USF. they're allright."

THAT'S A PROBLEM, FOLKS.

We'll know USF is big time when you can go to work and argue around the water cooler.

Pretty decent point, and I'm not even a Shoop fan....

Auburn will hate us next year, so will UNC, so will Louisville, so will WVU,  Rutgers, Cinci, Pitt, U-Conn, Syracuse, Elon, ucf (again) and who's the other? I forget...     ;D
