Quote:Tell that to Oklahoma State who played in at Joe Robbie Stadium last year against FAU.
Big difference in playing in Miami then playing in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Big Difference in playing in a 70,000 seat stadium compared to a 17,000 seat stadium.
Quote:This deal makes sense for USF, although it's not a real 'sexy' looking game on the calendar.
Playing at a current 1-aa, soon to be a first year Div 1 team at their 17,000 seat stadium does not make sense no matter how many excuses you use.
Quote:1. USF is primed to make a good run at a BCS championship in 2009 with a Grothe and Mike Ford led upperclassman heavy team.
There is no way in hell, even at a 12-0 record would a team that plays Wofford, WKU, FIU and Indiana ever make the national championship game.
Quote:2. In 2010, USF will be breaking in a new QB and will have the luxury of......SEVEN.....home games. Whenever you are breaking a new QB, you'll take 7 home games anytime.
No one is trashing the WKU home game, it is the 1 for 1 usf signed.
Quote:3. Unlike UCiF, USF actually plays a challenging conference schedule. If USF is good enough it will get all the recognition it needs to be ranked if it does well in conference.
Now you want us to believe that you usf is all of a sudden playing in the SEC? That excuse works for UF, not USF.
Quote:4. USF gave UCiF a shot to make a compelling argument why this series should be extended. Instead, fans have been treated to two blowouts that were over by halftime. Manufactured rivalries don't work. Thus while UCiF fans can whine all they want, the onus was on them....and they simply failed.
There you go changing history again. This series was not going to be extended no matter what and your AD, Jim Leavitt went on every media outlet and said as much. The proof is obvious, when USF is willing to do 1 for 1's with WKU and Ball State, there is nothing you can argue with.
Quote:5. Finally, USF hasn't been able to find a lot of mid-level BCS programs to play them home-and-home. None of these types of teams want to play and lose to a team that has been around less than 12 years. Louisville experienced the same thing after their big year. IF anything else I'm expecting some contracts to be broken if the Bulls continue at their current pace.
And your point only proves the ignorance of your coach. Gee, lets cancel a series that practically sells out every year and go hunting for the unknown.
Quote:BTW...if UCiF fans don't care, why are they here?
1 for 1 with WKU
