One of the things that we've enjoyed in the xCSH and CWT era is the new football practice facility.  One of the features that we lack in these facilities when compared to others is any sort of shielding from anyone who would care to come watch from the fences.

 

Even in the CJL era, the old practice facility had covered fencing and there was someone responsible for being aware of those who came around trying to watch what was going on.  You basically had to be 'on the list' to make it inside.

 

Since it seems that most programs close their practices to prying eyes, I wonder how easy we made it for scouts for future opponents to know what we were practicing?  Does anyone feel that this is even an issue?

I don't think it's an issue.

That's not an issue at all. There's enough game tape out there that other schools don't need to "spy" on USF.

In the past it hasn't been an issue because the teams watching game film on USF offense are falling over laughing.  Didn't need to spend money on a spy.

 

They only had to read about our poor pass defense on here and didn't have to waste time on game film.  Saved more money.

Well, in the Holtz New Era, we never needed to keep anyone out, because we never did anything unexpected.

 

When's the last time we faked a punt or a field goal, or did something unusual?

I heard that the reason the practice fields were kept under wraps, was to prevent the wild haired one's antics from being seen by the public.

always thought this was a big mistake not to invite local kids,parents  and coaches to our practices to make the community feel that the usf is their team

Not using time outs was pretty unusual :D
