Not once has any of their announcers brought up the current dissolution of the Big East... instead they have been droning on about the NBA (Tampa does not have an NBA team), and the Bucs.

Seems like they only talk about USF when someone calls in and then they are right back to talking about obscure sports crap that has no impact on the Tampa market, with the exception of the Buc's.

Gary and the Commish have to be the worst in doing this... Booger makes a point to cover USF for about an hour each day.

Win some games and don't suck...I think that will get them talking about USF.

To be fair, there isnt much to talk about. Football team had an awful year and is stuck in some weird limbo now. Not much to talk about. Basketball team has been less than impressive as well. Not much

Booger isn't exactly what I'd call a deep thinker

I agree somewhat. Maybe it is just me and my poor timing, but any time I tune into 98.7 they arent talking about USF. Maybe 1 out of 10 times. Again, that could just be the times I am turning it on.

Do you really want to hear about how awful it all is?

Are you on drugs?? Listening right now also and haven't much if any NBA talk ... NFL talk right now ... and I'm sure if/when the BE stuff gets past the rumor stage it will be discussed.

The Commish and Louk talk about USF happily, but for everybody else it is forced and disingenuous because of the sponsorship, Booger basically states he doesn't want to talk about them unless he has to. More callers could turn the tide perhaps? I still like it better than what the coverage was pre- "the fan"

To be fair, there isnt much to talk about. Football team had an awful year and is stuck in some weird limbo now. Not much to talk about. Basketball team has been less than impressive as well. Not much to talk about yet. Same goes for the rest of our teams. Only the womens bball team is doing well and....well....yeah.

They were talking about the NBA for a solid 30 minutes before I snapped and posted this.

Figured that with the Big East imploding that they would talk about what that meant for USF.

I've heard them talk about USF plenty of times. That is why I have it as a preset. And the Commish and Shelton talk about USF regularly. Everyone else, not so much.

I agree that it's not as extensive as I'd like, but it's a start. We have a media partner in an FM station that is right up front about being a USF partner.

I'd like more conference/recruiting/FB/non-FB talk, but like I said, I'm happy with the direction

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
