And Jeff Bowden as us FSU fans have learned

So you're a USF and an FSU fan?

Pretty much. In this order.

1. FSU (followed and been a fan of FSU since I started watching college football in 85)

2. USF (married an Alumni and want them to be the #4 big boy program in the state)

3. NAVY (USN 1995-2001, air traffic controller USS JFK and NAS Key West)

4. UCF (grew up and live about 15 min from campus. Office is about a 10-15 min drive up 434.)

Now when FSU and USF play, I am actually not favoring anyone, just want to see a good game. When the Bulls pulled off the upset in Tally, I was actually happy for them. Growing up back in the 80's, especially in FL, you had three choices and that was it. That is the reality here. Choices were FSU, UF and Miami. So I will always have the loyalities of FSU, and be highly supportive of the Bulls to be the big 4.

There used to be a point in time where if a team wanted to win a national title, they had to come through FL. And it should be again.

Skip Holtz.

He was a great hire on paper at the time...

I wish I could get a heart to heart audience and hear him honestly explain what went wrong.

I am just that. Gotta problem? J/K Both times we've played FSU I had my green and gold on.

As long as Dykes, Quinn, and even Davis or Petrino are options I would hate to see USF hire anyone else.

We have a lot of fans that also follow schools they grew up around. It's not a bad thing, as long as they're supporting USF monetarily. It'll take time and a tradition of winning to breed a fanbase where the majority only follow one team--their green and gold alma mater.

    “In my mind, I’m kind of like, ‘OK, excuses over'. We know what we need to do. We’ve got the right team together, and now we move forward, and we’ll evaluate and be accountable to each other, including myself, from this point forward.”

    "For me, I never considered it that way (as a stepping stone), honestly. When I was offered the head job at South Florida, and I'm sincere about this, I never thought I would ever go anywhere."
