Well smells of bovine. He's just upset USF got waxed again and is trying to belittle the accomplishments of a program that is built on a solid foundation, not one that collapses on itslef every year.
Speaking of awful fan support, I'm watching a half empty Sun Dome as USF takes on Virginia. UCF gets 9000 fans for a game against UMASS. Put UCF in a BCS conference and I think the sky's the limit. Too bad we didn't have the facilities we now have and a Basketball team has passed USF when the Big East expanded.
Count me in for mediocrity with an 8-4 season and possible bowl win. UCF has built their program the right way. In this fast food society, I'm willing to lay a strong foundation (vs. the quick fix, K-State model USF follows) for success. Look at TCU and Cinci. They will go undefeated and still not be in the national championship game. Only the well established BCS conferences (i.e. not the Big East) can compete for national championships so winning lower level bowls is all we can aspire to anyway.
Simple. USF loaded up on JUCOs, transfers, and a few borderline academic cases. That works in the short run but can't be sustained. It will be interesting to see how recovering from abysmal APRs will affect future recruiting. The other Big East schools have built their programs the right way. Cincinnati and Connecticut are the models of what up and coming programs should be, not the K-State model USF followed.

I love how USF likes to talk down CUSA. The Big East is the peasant class of the BCS. If one of their storied teams (Pitt,WVU) are not at the top of the standings they are no better than the MWC. Just look at the polls this week as TCU jumped Cinci. The same thing would happen if Rutgers/USF were in Cinci's position. They have no tradition and are looked as just slightly better than MWC/CUSA teams.
UCF Grad, can you read? The contract has not been signed. I say talk to Michael and have him help broker a deal with Nike.
What is going on with Brandon Davis. He was highly recruited out of high school but can't seem to see the field. Is it pass protection/blitz pickup abilities? Also, is Emery Allen going to redshirt?
eddie, I believe Rush wants the policies of the President to fail. Rush did the same thing when Bill Clinton was in office. I don't think it's racially motivated, more like liberal policy motivated.

This is why recruiting rankings should be calculated in the fall not in the spring. Now that USF has been forced to care about APR rankings, recruiting is a little difficult. I see how the meteoric rise may have been accomplished.
