We had a very small window and we missed it.  Now we aren't even the best non-power 5 team in our state.

Unless USF looks at football as an investment and really shells a lot of money into the program without it being there from donors/ticket sales then we will continue to be an average mid-major program that makes a bowl game that no one cares about every few years.  

 

 

this is accurate

I don't know, from a business point of view, this is the most damning evidence I've seen with proving just how much we lost with the AAC. These are not statistics, these are balance sheet numbers. Two

We should demand entrance into the ACC. It's the only solution to this problem.

We gotta start curb stomping our competition and then everything will fall into place.

 

 

it will never happen with our current coach

 

he is barely awake during the games

 

i agree with your plan

First, I think we should demand excellence and accountability from USF, then do what you said.  

 

 

Here we go again with the "demand" thing and USF sports.  

 

So do we call/write the President, the AD and the football coach and demand that they win?  I'm sure none of them have thought that winning is preferable to losing.

 

Or, do we not buy tickets and further screw up the situation "until they win and show they are deserving"?  

 

On another thread people are questioning that big donors shouldn't have a say in firing coaches because those fans were demanding a better product and wanted changes.

 

I just don't get what this "demand" thing is all about.

We had a great year, and a few exciting/promising ones, but in the end we've always been mediocre in our conference. For that, I'm not sure we really ever had an opportunity for better. Even the "great" year, we bombed like a boss in the BCS bowl game, so there's that, too.

 

lol the discussion about how much the AAC lost with the move to CFP. Two years in existence, with the first being an AQ, doesn't make for a great statistical analysis.

The Sun Bowl wasn't a BCS bowl.

:facepalm:  you're right... I thought it was

 

 

The Sun Bowl was a cool bowl though except for the whole curb stomp thing.

 

 

Durn that Skip Holtz.

Translation: People blame Skip Holtz for everything so we should blame the Sun Bowl curb stomping to him as well

On this post, you are the victim of the same writing device as your post saying, "durn that Skip Holtz."
