Today's Official OCS thread/FAU unveils drawing of stadium

Are you with Moveon.org?

Well, honestly then, if it's an amenities issue the Bulls will be at Ray Jay forever then.  If rich schools like UF don't have thise amenities then I don't see it happening for USF.

EXACTLY!

Get comfy then, fellas.

'Cause if we want to demand some of these things (especially up-front), Malcolm Glazer's great-great-great grandchildren are going to be USF's mommys & daddys.

And you'll still be you.  Next topic?

I have a question....would the Bulls here take a Ben Hill Griffin/Doak Campbell/Jordan-Hare type stadium?  Amenities wise they don't stack up to Ray Jay, but atmosphere wise they blow the Pirate Ship out of the water.

Rich schools like UF built their stadium eons ago, before the age of amenities.  You can do better than that MAB people.

Without a doubt there is a right way and a wrong way.  The wrong way is quicker indeed.

Need an explanation?  Well, your comments and silly Glazer-daddy talk are like that of an angry spoiled teenager.  Instead of being juvenile about needing a stadium now, why not discuss it rationally, or have you... and I missed it somewhere?

So is your answer no?  You wouldn't take a stadium like UF/FSU/Auburn?

All I (and others) ask is for a little forward progress on the OCS front.

All I (and others) ask that those who want a little forward progress on the OCS front, become season ticket holders and Bulls Club members.

:pain"If you build it, they will buy."

Demand comes before supply.

Not in Field Of Dreams!

Kevin Costner can teach us all a lesson here.  :moon2

You are right in one sense.  In another sense, there is a whole segment of folks out there who will not invest one red cent until they see the commitment the program has by moving forward with an OCS plan.

Please tell me you are not serious.   I think you are the only member of this club.

And besides and Jim Leavitt says over and over again, RJS is a recruiting tool, perhaps the greatest in his aresenal.

We all know what Coach Leavitt has said about RJS.

But like Michael Bolton has said, what's he going to say??

"Yeah, RJS is nice, but I hate it.  We need our own stadium.  Our recruiting and fanbase will benefit when we move out of Daddy Galzer's house and into our own."

Nahhh.......he's going to spin status quo to the most benefit he can.

By the way, Mr. Bolton, "I celebrate your entire catalog of music."  :whistle

If it weren't a recruiting tool, I imagine he wouldn't say it was. "Raymond James is a great stadium, and it's been a great place for us to play our home games for the past several years".  He doesn't have to lie (assuming it's not actually a recruiting tool) and say it's one of the best recruiting tools he has just to look good. He can say nice things about Raymond James without saying that it's a huge recruiting tool, so I'm pretty sure he's telling the truth when he tells us it is.
