So, it would appear that the defection of several CUSA teams to the Oriente Grande will be offset by the addition of

this upstart program (and former Metro conference foe), which - although they are but a few short miles from downtown - opted to

build their OCS rather than split time with the local NFL club.

Shocking...absolutely shocking.

OCS > Half empty NFL stadium 15 miles from campus

They did it right too... Built it small and specifically designed it to be expanded shortly.

I love the stadium North Texas just built.

I suppose with our dwindling fan base we might be able to build a small version of an OCS in similar fashion now

or adapt the soccer stadium for some of the smaller games

nah - probably not.

Interestingly enough they offered Leavitt the job, but he instead chose the real 49ers.

good for them. I'm a fan.

Hehe. One of my old friends in Student Government is now in Student Affairs up there. She's very proud of what they're doing so far, but she is and always will be the best of Bulls .

usf doesnt need nor deserve a stadium on campus

a complete waste of money

if usf doesnt get in a big 5 conference the question of maintaining football needs to be addressed
