What is USF's "Main Thing"?

[DELdaBull]

To be not quite good enough

To be considered part of the "Florida Four" in every sport [as well as in academics and research].

I saw a billboard the other day that said "#1 MBA in Florida!"

 

The fine print on it was...part-time among public schools

 

 

USF's main thing is to be USF. And by that, USF is almost a verb like "Clemsoning" is a verb, under the definition that USF manages to shoot itself in the foot at the most inconvenient times, often seemingly on purpose.

That billboard fine print, along with another billboard that went up a little over 5 years ago, is the perfect example of USF. (athletically)

Coaches are hired to win a bunch of football games.

Well, yeah, except not exactly. Studies show that on average, coaches lose approximately half of their football games every year, and only one of 128 at the top level wins the national title. Winning games is hard. Every coach you go against spends 110 hours a week trying not to get fired, just like you do.

The secret is that your job isn't just to win a bunch of football games. It's to win enough football games and do a few other things in order to allow the Main Thing to happen.

Each school has a different Main Thing, and it's up to you to figure out what your school's Main Thing is. The people at the school won't tell you, because they may not want to admit it or even realize it, but it's there.

At Nebraska, for example, the Main Thing is to make the fans feel like it can one day be the 1990s again....

 

Parody article, but still made me think... what is USF's "Main Thing"?

Well there ya have it!

To achieve a top 25 ranking for a week or two early in the season so we can see our logo flash by on the big screen behind the ESPN half time report desk.
