With that said, I dont think BE teams should have to play these games without a return trip or at least have it at a neutral site.
USF STILL has two more of these games scheuled playing Florida but have pushed one game back and I have a feeling we might only really play them once.

Oh, okay...I thought I heard last spring that Louisville was offered a game similar to that as well.

I agree, with you that some of the BEast schools shouldn't have to take those kind of games anymore, but for Louisville to be considered for the National Championship Game, they've got to have a good strength of schedule...so if those kind of games present themselves, it's not worth totally ruling out because it can help that school in the end if the team's good enough to win it all.

Hey...this is a time for South Florida and the Big East to celebrate. I feel so good for SF and the BE but a little scared right now. It's almost like sex for the first time. Why are you concentrating on Louisville and what they are doing. Louisville has recently gone through a series of BCS teams breaking their contracts to play us and that is why we have filled the void with whoever we could get. Believe me...folks will soon be pulling out of their contracts with South Florida.

Congratulations to USF on what was just an awesome victory. The Bulls have once again announced to the college football world that they have truly arrived on the national scene. The SEC and their obnoxious fans/fawns now know what we on this board figured out a couple of years ago.

Congratulations to USF. I was most impressed that this win was earned through such a gut-check game. That's a sign that the players believe, which is a great thing.

It's clear this season will mark the end of major college football being such a limited fraternity. I'm unsure if it will spread as far as, say, Georgia State in the future, but obviously anyone can make waves if they put in the effort.

Congrats to the Bulls program for validating their progress.
