Not saying it's good or bad, but a lot that thought underachieving in the 10th-12th years of existence because a BCS conference crown was not ours have moved to new areas of specialty. Good for the Bulls. Not sure where exactly it was, must have been a board that was linked from a thread here, but saw one of those blasts from the past names that I think you're referring to ... initials mb.

Well maybe it's 6. Yeah, 6. You're on the clock Willie." I'm sure there are plenty of programs that in their 6th year of 1A became powerhouses, and great, they could throw out as an examples, though ... I am sure there was at least one at the turn of the century. The 20th century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cincy may have won the title or a share of it more than any other team. Yet sad sack Syracuse goes on to ACC. There's more to it than a conference title. You're right. If winning got you into the P5 Cinci deserved it a long time ago. TV, fan following all that stuff is more important than winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the curse of Jim Leavitt. He didnt put it on it was just Karma. Leavitt situation was handled wrong by USF and now Karma has get the best of USF. Not sure how USF will break the curse. They may need to build that OCS and name it after Leavitt or at least put a Leavitt statue around the OCS. That may be the only way USF breaks the curse. this is a joke right?

I doubt anyone shouted you down. leavitt went the JUCO route plenty and was quite successful doing it just as Snyder has been at kansas state. Jamie Byrd is a JUCO.
