PennaBull Posted April 23, 2014 Group: Member Topic Count: 3 Content Count: 14 Reputation: 3 Days Won: 0 Joined: 12/08/2006 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I've got no dog in this argument with USFDaveG, but as someone who is aware of his contributions to USF fandom in the past, thought I'd mention some of his USF fan background. Dave started, to my knowledge, the first ever USF fan message board back in the 90's called The Bull Board with another alum, Chris Gallon. Dave later published a monthly magazine called BullsEye. Link to old discussion about the magazine in a thread here at Bullspen. http://thebullspen.com/index.php/topic/1875-bullseye-magazine/ Dave then went on to be the first publisher of the Rivals USF site. I'm just bringing this up because Dave has certainly done his part as a USF fan. This also goes to show he did have lots of contacts within USF Athletics as well as having press credentials. He is aware of the administration's attitudes towards athletics and how it's run. Again, not trying to argue either side, just mentioning these facts to the new guys here who aren't aware. Dave, it's PaBull from the old sites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be possible that COA, is running practices or strategies similar to Kentucky's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLendon played more minutes than JE Prolly 9/10 of the Nancies aren't even aware of that because they never watch a game.They are too busy crying here that this is the END of USF athletics. Give me a break Egbunu was not effectively benched the last half of the season. He averaged around 25 minutes a game in both conference play and non-conference play. His loss is not the end of USF Athletics but, at this point in time, it is a big hit to USF basketball. Yeah, I was starting to doubt myself, as I never saw a drop in his minutes either. Here's the stat line. Pretty clear. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/gamelog/_/id/67622/john-egbunu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you just reach a breaking point and decide "screw it, I'm venting." Doesn't mean a week later he won't be like, "aw, man, I lost it!" Sounds like Dave just needed a break from USF athletics. Egbunu has some skill, this hurt. But the sky is just fine--I'd rather have a kid that's eager to play here than one that's mired with bad/mixed feelings and infecting my team. I wish him the best, but prolly better for us & him that he's going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
