We got screwed. I had forgotten. Either way their rise to a first bowl win is pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memphis is but a shell of the team we played, reflecting C-DOA, as a whole....It's always good to have a team we beat win a bowl game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHy it's a blueprint on how to do it---- except the plans were basically CJLs that Howard literally came over and borrowed.Bob Davie-- go suck his BLEEP already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were #21. There is no post-bowl BCS.I will be rooting for the Owls tonight against Memphis. Every little bit helps our SOS for that final BCS standing .... I didn't realize that .....

Honestly, to me, what CJL has done with USF proves that what Schnelly is trying to with FAU is possible ...I will be rooting for the Owls tonight against Memphis. Every little bit helps our SOS for that final BCS standing ....Schnelly's previous work at UL and UM helped give Leavitt a blueprint for building a program.UL and UM both had a history and jock straps before Howard got there. CJL may have looked to what he did at UM as far as the TEAM was concerned, but for building a program, from the bottom up, CJL was winging it .... and did a **** fine job.

I'm really impressed with what they've done this season and that all started with the game against USF.some FAU fans might say it all started with the win versus Minnesota.Many have said that UCF got their momentum either from the close loss to Texas or the beatdown from USF wierd how these two teams mirror each other in that regard.

Schelly built those progrms at a time when scholarship numbers were unregulated/high, when only big programs got on tv, when pollster legitmately would put 3 loss Michigan ahead of a 1 loss small school.USF would not have climbed the way we did the last 10 years back then the system didn't favor small schools.While he didn't build from scratch there wasn't that surplus of talent because in the early 80s there were no caps on schoolys, there ws no ESPN to try and get your players national recognition.Schnelly might have used some of CJLs tactics, but I'm not going to discount what the guy has done at all three of his college stops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a record" or whateverHad we gotten a bowl game in 2002 that we should have-- we would have done the same feat in only 6 years.thanks again CUSABut, you didn't, & "If I, coulda, shoulda, woulda" doesn't count.
