Isn't everyone? Oakland had lost games at Michigan State, at Illinois, at Texas A&M."If we had just wanted to win games," he said, "we would have come down there and played Rollins College or Florida State. But if we do play North Carolina, we won't be afraid, because we've played a great schedule."http://www.sptimes.com/2005/03/15/Columns/Meet_the_Grizzlies__a.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what FSU thought of being lumped in with the likes of Rollins College athletics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how FSU struggled this season because they had a few good recruiting classes under Hamilton. It just goes to show that recruiting is not the whole part of success in college basketball. You really have to have team chemistry and a system that works which is why I am glad USF has McCullum as coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If USF has a better program than FSU right now somebody forgot to send the memo to everyone.This is reminscent of UCFers saying that their program has passed us by b/c they have won a bunch of meaningless games in the ASUC. USF .....used to be better.... than Miami and FSU just a few years ago. That is why both those teams stopped playing USF. However we are clearly rebuilding while UM & FSU are much farther ahead in retooling their programs. It will be a disappointment if we are not competing with those other two programs in the next 4 years.Forget UF for a while unless Eddie munster leaves or gets his program on probabation. They are in another league right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, FSU has a lot more talent than USF, but our coaching staff did better than Hamilton's staff. If FSU does not turn it around fast then they may be looking for a new coach IMO. FSU has the better facilities and some McDonald ALL-Americans, but that did not amount to anything this season. I will stand by my opinion in that USF would beat FSU right now if they were to play. Now, you will see USF get some more bones thrown our way because of the BIG EAST conference and Doug Woolard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What?  We lost to some very BAD teams this year and we got absolutely mopped up by some mediocre teams.....I think the last week of this season has clouded a lot of people's vision. I love USF but FSU would smoke us right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
