So, I'm standing in line at Pollo Tropical...

[LrdNorman]

...and I see this man wearing a USF Football shirt.  I'm wearing mine that says USF Alumni and say, "I love your shirt!" to which he replies, "I like yours as well."  I mention that I'm excited for football season to start and he says that he is too and that his nephew plays for USF.

 

He gestures toward his nephew who is about 6'2" and looks like a football player and very familiar.  Then, the man says, "He plays quarterback."

 

It was Matt Floyd texting like a madman on his phone.  I got a chance to ask Matt some questions:

 

1)   How is learning the new system coming?  It's definitely different than Coach Holtz's but it's coming well.

 

2)  How do you feel about the new transfer quarterback coming in?  Just fine.  (nervous twitching)

 

3)  How's the team responding to Coach Taggart?  Good.  We are exercising a lot, and he's a nice guy.

 

He then signed a menu for my son with a green crayon and we got our food and headed out.

 

Question I wished I had asked him:  Why did you fumble so many times during the Spring Game?

 

As we left, my son said "Go Bulls" to him and he said, "Go Bulls" back to him.

 

Here in Brevard County, we don't get many football players, but am looking forward to seeing the team Aug. 17th in Vero...

Way to get the inside scoop, Norm!

Did he drop his tray when they handed it to him?

Very cool.  Nice political answer from him about the QB transfer.  Kid wanted to be a Bull from the start, I hope he can get the dropsies fixed and do well for us.

Hahahaha!!!

Very cool

He should move to defensive back. Looks like a great athlete. Maybe he could be a special teams ace. I just don't see him leading this team at QB. I'd feel better about the fumbles and picks last year if he had mixed in one or two TD passes. If he wins the QB job and does well I would be amazed.

Funny but kinda crass.

Love those random sightings, way to take advantage! Nice touch with the crayon signature.

 

Kid got lashed for his performance, hope for his sake it's all a part of growing up and he can look back & laugh some day (because he blows up). He wasn't ready...but he has a lot of potential, would love to see him turn it around!

Oh, and nice nod to the Pollo T, man I miss that place...and Cuban food in general!!
