Always wonder what position we would be in had Leeroy still been our AD... (RIP LRS).

No disrespect to LRS, but I think he made a better fundraiser than an AD. The AD position took a toll on his health, and his hire of Robert McCullum really set USF basketball back a bit.

If you know the history of USF, it goes back to John Allen. He felt USF should be strictly an academic institution. We have been playing catch up since day one. Its in our DNA.

Our athletic program continues to look like it does today and I could become a John Allen convert!

Fire John Allen along with Skip, Judy, Doug, Mickey, Minnie, et al

Lee Roy hired Mac for CUSA and we probably would have been fine had we stayed there.

it takes a lot of time and effort to upgrade a culture. Men's BB signing class is BIG improvement. Soccer has made great gains. I'm expecting same from men's golf this year. takes time. you newbys got spoiled by metioric rise of ftbl. very rare

That's harsh. Agree with SRQ. Softball did well last year as well. I remember earlier this year how so many people were talking about how many good things were happening with USF athletics outside of football.

And jesus guys, hating on basketball? We lost ONE GAME coming off our best season EVER. In football we went from zero to BCS in record time. These past couple seasons are a rite of passage, every school has hired a bad coach. We fire the guy and move on, the program is not destroyed in the process.

Though Prado should have been fired a while ago, USF Baseball sucks.

Whose fault? For years in football we had huge meltdowns in conference... Now we are just bad...

Basketball had a great year last season and we get stomped by UCF at home as we open the dome.

Dude....you're darking everyone out. Have a beer.
