when you consider the size and location of usf

I think, when people say "it's your name...", they're just being polite. 

Soap and water, sports fans...soap and water.

Lets just sell the naming rights to the school. The University of South Florida, brought to you by PDQ. That has to be worth a few bucks.

UCLA too? In the end it doesn't matter if your the Univeristy of Southern Western East Rhode Island, you win some BCS or big bowl games yearly...everyone knows your name.

LA isn't a direction .... USC is the only deal buster.

Face it, we are a "directional" school.  Nobody wants a directional school in their conference.  That's a stigma.  Name another directional school that's in a power 5 conference.  You can't.

Good point. I hadn't thought of that. There are "states" (as in FSU), "A&Ms" (as in Texas) and "techs" (as in Georgia) ... but no north/south/east/wests.

What are you talking about there is north Carolina, south Carolina, west Virginia, and north Carolina state.

LOL ... Come on man, you know what i meant. In those cases, the direction is in the name of the states themselves, hence they are not "directional" schools.

Lol I was just messin with ya. I'm bored here at work

Speaking of the topic, I was going to start a new one but figured I'd just pile on here.  FGCU just swept UF in baseball this weekend. Let's hope they don't start playing football because we'd be looking up at them in a few years.  They already beat us in baseball and basketball. May have beat us in soccer too but not sure.

By that definition, Wisconsin-Whitewater, Fresno State, UTSA, and SDSU are not directional schools. not many folks would agree with you there...

A city isn't a direction and those you mentioned aren't directional. I guess you would call them locational ... Bottom line in all this is that there is a directional school in a Power 5 conference, no matter what the definition.
