when usf scored the last td

[MikeG]

smazza needs to get to more games, I am agreeing with him a lot all of the sudden today.

I wasn't with USF fans at Auburn, the area I was in went dead silent when Hester crossed the goal line.

you could hear a pin drop from the Auburn crowd, if the USF fans in the stands weren't going absolutely nutz

I'm not sure exactly what I screamed, but my reaction was enough that my French Bulldog who was asleep next to me on the couch jumped straight up about a foot in the air. She started barking and running in circles around the TV room at breakneck speed, eventually sliding into an end table and knocking a lamp off. My daughter woke up and started crying and the wife walked in and gave me a bone chilling look I won't soon forget. All totally worth it.

god-- that would make an awesome commercial

I have to admit, for the first 95% of the game, I wouldn't have bet $2 we were going to win. The way our d line looked was reminiscent of the Miami game a few years back. The second half was a completely different game. South Tampa Beefs went nuts.

I wouldn't say they outplayed us for 56 minutes guys. We pretty much owned the second quarter and the first part of the third, as well as those pivotal last few minutes.

That said, ten minutes to go, I was having a hard time keeping the radio on in the car. It felt like we'd reached our limits.

Watching Andre Davis blow up like that capped a pretty good day.

The flag on the dre td was stressful

I can tell you one thing. If any of the coaches or players had the pathetic attitude that pervaded the chat room, and I imagine the game thread, full of "fans", in the first quarter, that team would have lost by 50 points. I give the team and coaches a tremendous amount of credit for fighting back in the face of adversity, figuring out a winning strategy, and implementing it. This is the type of life lesson football teaches, don't give up no matter what the situation vs having the dejected, hopeless, "all is lost" attitude, that the team would lose for sure, mind set early in the game. I really hope that doesn't get back to the team, or incoming players, how fair weather and faithless the fan base is. Skip said immediately after the game he was so proud of the team because they believed. How about we show more of that attitude at The Bulls Pen when things are not going The Bulls way instead of saying the team is pathetic and bash Holtz?

In general, most USF fans are no where near that engrossed by how the team is doing.

This seems more like a cross between outliers on a Bull Fan bell curve and the general Trolly McTrollersons attracted to forums such as these. Not saying everyone on there is a nut or a extreme fanboi. Just enough of them that it can be unbearable.

I was lucky-- got to watch the game with an old friend (all my friends are old these days). It was a rough game to watch but also exciting and dramatic.

Congrats to smazza-- you ended what I perceived as a curse.

Please be sure to go to any away trap games you can in the future.
