UNC game coming up,,, FIRST!!!!!

Guys  we  are  the  fans!!!!!!!

A few points:

1. Fans talking about a game they are excited about is not "looking past" the next opponent.

2. UNC is below average, and there really is no need to "talk up" a team like that.

3. Last year's UNC game was not close at all. A quick look at the score and the stats revealed that we handled them fairly easily.

20-10 at halftime, 34-20 after 3 quarters, 37-20 final.

Total Yards: USF 417 UNC 285 \

Total Sacks By: USF 5 UNC 1

Time of Possession: USF: 33 min UNC 27 min

Turnovers: 2 and 2.

Don't get me wrong, I won't our players up and ready for every game, but to suggest that UNC is anywhere on our level is a bit ridiculous at this point in time.

I don't care how many stats you throw out, any team can beat any other team on any given day, espeically in college football and that's what makes it great/scary.  Always overestimate your compitition.

The stats were meant to dispell the notion that last year's game was close, it wasn't. I realize we need to be up for every game. I said it in my post. My point is we SHOULD beat UNC. That is my stance as a fan. Fans don't play or coach these games. The team will be ready. As everyone else is saying, the bye week was such a blessing following such a physically and emotionally taxing win at Auburn. The players are being told that all of the hype about USF means NOTHING if they go out and lose next week. They will be ready.

I agree.  We as fans can talk about what we want...we're not the guys out there throwing/catching/kicking the ball.

As long as the players are paying close attention to UNC.  They are a better coached team this year, and will give us some humble pie if we don't take them serious!

Maybe I haven't read the threads, but all the WVU threads I've read were about attendance.

Go BULLS !!!

Seems like a lot of people are getting ahead of themselves talking about the WVU game.  We were at the UNC game last year and it was not an easy win.  Unfortunately our Bulls seem to play down to the competition (anyone remember the Army game a few years back?).  I know this is a new team but the FIU game is still vivid in my mind from last year as well.  Have not seen UNC play this year but just hope we don't take them lightly.

Side note - went to the Auburn game and must give props to their fans.  After the game we heard not one bad word from the Auburn fans.  Just "Good game", "Great game", etc.  Classy people and great hosts.

Finish Strong

People need to stop referencing that stupid Army game in 2004. News Flash the 2007 Bulls are not the 2004 Bulls. Did you forget that Andre Hall was still acclimating to the offense and that Pat Julmiste was our QB....and we put 37 points on UNC which was our second highest total of the season. As for the FIU game, inexperience took over and was the cause of our mistakes.

Lets look at the present and immediate past, in our last 4 games we have beaten 2 top 20 teams on the road the last 4 games. One of those teams was #7 in the nation.
