Burn the ship!!!

Concrete doesn't burn!

Concrete does burn. At a very high heat. I wish we had the chance to try.

Raymond James would still not be an "on-campus stadium" in this circumstance. In reality, little to nothing would change in this hypothetical arrangement.

Please supply a link to a reliable source to that substantiates your claim.

In the Army, I used Thermite grenades in concrete bunkers, and they didn't cause the concrete to ignite.

if somehow the Bucs were out of the picture, many things would change. Basically that won't happen but if it does, USF would become the primary tenant (or moreso than now) and have better negotiation leverage.

The ship would be removed or replaced with something more Bull-related. Signage and other items would slowly be converted to USF. We might even be able to dictate how the TSA staff handles our fans instead of treating us like some step child.

and now for MikeG's annual OCS rant.....

But as I've said before-- we're talking about something that impacts USF 6 or 7 days a year. It is my main case for holding off on the need for an on campus stadium and it's associated maintenance/debt service/land use costs.

We've got a nice facility we can rent for those handful of days we need a stadium-- it is saving us a ton of money and giving us a leg up some people scoff at without realizing how much less the program would be if we only had the soccer stadium as our starting point.

I think this general whining about wanting an OCS comes from folks who are tired of USF being perceived by outsider morons as small time or a commuter school. Sure-- I'd love it if we had one too. But we can't afford it. We are barely out of trailers and people are expecting a mansion. That's not how it works in the real world. If we had 100 years of history and lived in the middle of nowhere-- we would have an OCS because we had no other option. We would have had the time to build it from humble beginnings into a monster size like they did at Florida.

It's all about having a proper perspective.

The Bucs arent leaving calm down.

Still wouldnt be an OCS, but it would be better than what we have now.
