i wish i wasn't this emotionally invested in USF football but i cant help it......i almost cried after WVU kciked that field goal.....

we really needed this year to be our best......but it was the opposite.....

We know how you feel. We had our worst season at the worst possible time. This season may have cost us our football future.

Just for discussion sake, what do you think winning the BE this year would have done for USF after an ass-kicking in a BCS game, losing 4 million dollars (maybe less if it was the Orange Bowl) and being laughed at nationally?

Do you think we would end up in the SEC, Big 12 or ACC because of it?

It would likely have helped recruiting, but to what extent? Not many schollies left this year.

I don't see this as the end of football as we know it at USF. Because as we know it is NOT winning a conference title in any conference. We were fortunate to get asked to the BE in the first place.There was nothing in our past that made us deserving. It was a shot in the dark at some potential that the BE saw.

I'm as pissed as the next guy at the results this year. Yes, it would be nice to say we won the Big East. But NOT winning the Big East (remember we were picked 3rd, not 1st by the BE coaches) ***isn't some death penalty to the program.***

No, but losing our BCS status will be.

Losing our BCS status will not be some death penalty to the program .... What it will do, inititally, is cull the fan herd some .... and it definitely needs some culling.

If you looked around Ray Jay this year that process has started and we are in a BCS conference. Don't think being in an AQ has anything to do with it. Just IMO.

This year we are the 2nd worst team in the Big East, but all the teams are basically equally bad. Shake them up in a jar and pick a couple out. There isn't much difference between first and worst.

Go Bulls!

It's not just about the # of fans, it's that you are all but automatically disqualified, thus the better recruits avoid you, thus you don't really have much to get excited about.

I understand the emotional letdown from this season, but this is going a wee bit too far.

Good luck drawing anyone to watch this team play North Texas or Tennessee-Chattanooga on a weekly basis.

I would hope there are more than a couple of thousand non-spoiled USF/college football fans in the area but you may correct ...

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
