Maybe he should set the expectations lower so we can be sure to meet them. And if we could get some participation trophies that would be great too. There are people on this thread "hating" on him?? yep, there are multiple people ITT making light of his optimistic goal/challenge. Making light is the same as "hating" on him?? Just a wee bit sensitive, are we .....? Yes, responding to your coaches ambition and positivity with a dismissive attitude will be henceforth know as "hating" on this board. Put it in your notebook. I like it ... Setting parameters .... duly noted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much harder to tell the fanbase that he expects that many. Rather set expectations and fail than the opposite. +1 "A man's reach should exceed his grasp -- or what's a heaven for?"

ajusf16 Posted April 4, 2013 Group: Member Topic Count: 110 Content Count: 2,558 Reputation: 86 Days Won: 0 Joined: 09/30/2009 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Courtesy USF: New Format Highlights Spring Game on April 13 The new USF coaching staff will utilize a draft to set the Green and White rosters for the 2013 Spring Game on Saturday, April 13 at 5 p.m. in Raymond James Stadium. TAMPA - As the USF Football program goes through a period of change with the hiring of new head coach Willie Taggart and his coaching staff, one new addition will be free for all Bulls fans to see at the Spring Game on Saturday, April 13 at 5 p.m. in Raymond James Stadium. In keeping with his developing culture of competition, coach Taggart divides everyone associated with the football program into two teams, Green and White, from the coaching staff to the administrative assistants. Then, the staffs determine the player rosters through a free agent period and a player draft, setting the stage for the Spring Game, which is played as a traditional game with four 15-minute quarters. The coaching staffs have already been split. Here is a look at how the staff was divided followed by in-depth information on the Spring Game: GREEN TEAM COACHING STAFF Chuck Bresnahan – Head Coach Eric Mathies Nick Sheridan Telly Lockette Stu Holt Jon Bills Tommy Donatell WHITE TEAM COACHING STAFF Ron Cooper – Head Coach Walt Wells Raymond Woodie David Reaves Kurt von Bargen Chris Chestnut FREE AGENT PERIOD The free agent period offers each staff the opportunity to lure one offensive and defensive player to ‘sign’ with its team. The staffs can use any method allowable by NCAA rules to try and secure a player’s signature, including incentives for the particular player. The free agent period started on Saturday, March 30 and will run until noon on Thursday, April 4. The four free agent signings will be announced via USF Football’s Twitter account @USFFootball. PLAYER DRAFT The player draft will take place in the evening on Saturday, April 6 at the Lee Roy Selmon Athletics Center. A coin flip on the afternoon of Thursday, April 4 will determine whether the Green or White team gets the first pick. The team that does not get to choose first will then have the opportunity to utilize the second and third picks of the draft. From that point forward, the teams will alternate their selections until they reach 30 picks, which will conclude the first round. After the first round, the players will be dismissed and the coaching staffs will continue to select until the rosters are complete. @USFFootball will have live updates throughout the draft and the full rosters will be posted on USF’s Spring Game Central page later that night. PRACTICE Once the rosters have been set, the Bulls will have three practices leading up to the Spring Game to not only work as a team, but in their divided sides. The team will have normal practices each time, but will spend approximately 20 minutes per practice working with their individual teams. THE GAME The Spring Game will be played as a traditional game with four 15-minute quarters. The first half will have clock stoppages, but the second half will utilize a running clock. There will be a 15-minute halftime. THE PRIZE Aside from the bragging rights that come with victory, the USF Football program will hold a cookout for the entire staff before the end of the spring semester. The Spring Game’s winning team will feast on steak and potatoes, while the losing team will be stuck with hot dogs and beans. FAN INORMATION All fans are asked to enter through Gate C, which will open at 4 p.m. Admission to the spring game is FREE. Tickets are required but will be provided at the gate. Season ticket holders can print out a ticket in advance through their online account. Seating for fans will be general admission seating on the East side of the stadium. PARKING Parking is FREE and is available in lots 6 and 6D on the South side of the stadium. Lots will open at 2 PM. SEASON TICKET OPPORTUNITIES Never been a season ticket holder and want to secure your seat on coach Taggart’s bus?
