I think we're more like a flume ride. Up and up to a nice height (couple of weeks in 2007) and then a plunge. Hopefully we've now exited the floating log and have moved to new ride ....

Solid Analogy. I think the Sheika at BG is a fair analogy. You make it almost to the top and just shoot back down at insane spends.

Ya we got on the floating log that is the AAC and were unceremoniously flushed down the toilet, some log rides are better than others.

I know you don't want to hear it but with the pinnacle being those early weeks in 2007, the downward trajectory started a pretty good ways before we entered the AAC ..... the AAC was just that final swirl at the end of the flush.

You are a poetic symbolic scholar, we have always been a turd the only question is when we were going to get flushed, for a short stint I believed we were something else, and what a wonderful time it was.

I live in a world where we only became **** because you can’t play with it and not get some on you but ask me again tomorrow and I’ll agree with your timeline and say it’s what we get for firing CJL

Hmmm??  Is that a dream catcher or an animal snare with feathers??

were all aware that we have enjoyed sporadic fan delight when we knocked off the big guys, made a run at the conference and yes, the rocket ride to #2 in the Country. BUT,  we routinely ended up in the middle of the pack, made a bowl and waited for next year. We couldn't finish even when undefeated??  When the new championship scheme was created with it's selection hierarchy. The p5/group of 5 designation became law. Along with the big east squirting out the football schools into the aac catch basin...our world as fans went dark. In the BE we knew in the back of our minds that we might...might just have a shot if we run the table to get to a coveted bowl game.  Now?  it's a crap shoot along with a miracle and...being undefeated and...needing big wins against ranked teams. I think that's why we get excited but, we control that excitement. For me? USF needs to build a consistent winning football team. Win big games. Hang in the rankings. Win some bowl games make some money. Get the Bull's back into a positive national atmosphere. Create a marketable package just in case, in case...expansion ever comes.  amen
