If that is true, does USF pull back on football funding and concentrate on other sports we have a chance to win it all in...assuming that is always the ultimate goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way Rutgers or Louisville is anywhere near the team as Bama, Oregon or Florida. And the history the BE has had in the BCS games the last few year (WV is out) proves it.

While I doubt Louisville or Rutgers could actually win a playoff, the fact that they are eliminated already without losing is stupid. Plenty of people thought New Orleans at Green Bay was going to be the NFC championship game but fortunately, they actually have to earn it so instead we had New York at San Francisco.

That is ridiculous. Just because an undefeated BE team can't make a nat'l championship this year does not mean we should pull back funding that will affect the program for years to come. Don't be so shortsighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best of the small-time, sometimes-we-have-a-good-season-and-pretend-we're-important-too conferences. There was a time it looked like we might have been able to break out of that mold and actually become a relevant team on a national scale. but it was not to be. Maybe in another 20 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
