They do love us but now they can write about our pathetic season, our losing streak, our lack of success in a weak conference and they can quote Skip Holtz's cute little one-liners instead of writing about an intemperate head coach. They REALLY DO love us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinci is having a surprising season, and we haven't exactly had our way with them since joining the BE. none of this should be unexpected. hopefully, since we're following trends, we'll continue the trend against Cuse, continue the trend against L'Ville at home and play a good game against WVU as we usually do.

"So, yeah, if you are a USF fan, you have every right to be frustrated. It's the price of caring about a program that cannot finish." Some of us who have been negative on this board recently have been lambasted because of it. It isn't that we hate USF or the Bulls or the coaches or players. It is just the opposite. For those of you with kids, when your kids bring home a bad report card, you get upset, frustrated, and are disappointed. You express those opnions at that time and let it all out. Because you KNOW they are capable of more if they just try a little harder and make less mistakes. We all want what is best for USF, and part of that is winning the games you should win. This current team and coaching staff have lost 3 games they SHOULD HAVE WON. if that makes us frustrated and vocal, so what. If we are called "negative" so be it. It is appropriate given this program has underachieved this year.... Okay, off my soap box now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
