Ambien beat me to it; when Bret reports it, I'll believe it.

 

Few thoughts; I would not hate the thought of the Big 12, but I do not like the fit geographically.  I am still going to hold my breath for ACC

 

There is nothing to not like about the Big 12 at this point. No way ACC adds another FL school and if they did it would be UCF and we would be toast. 

 

Only way ACC adds us is if both FSU and Miami leave which is extremely unlikely

I blame our small fan base.

Big 12 may grab 2 more in a few more years. They are, I assume, waiting for us to give them a reason to get us. 

This would be our only hope and we better start performing now rather than later. I'm thinking the first sign of trouble from Taggart and he is gone. Have to show the Big 12 your dead serious and will do anything to impress them so they take us with UCF

 

 

You have to ask if the university is even serious? What has shown that they are at this point?

 

At this point we haven't so it might be a lost cause but I still have hope that Harlan can pull a miracle out of nowhere but its looking oblique each and every day

When I see it on ESPN I'll believe it. Not a moment before. Neither should any of you.

Listen...Being realistic, if USF does not build an OCS stadium and get into a P5 school in the near future then there is no future. It is plain and simple. CFB has changed forever, and P5 Conferences are the future. CFB is a business and we need a business man running the program who has the guts to make the hard decisions, be progressive, and make big deals happen. With two successful seasons and an improved fan base under our belt, we instantly become an much more lucrative investment. 

 

I hope Harlan can fix this program and does so before he gets picked up by a P5 school.

I think we have that guy in Harlan and he better do whatever it takes to get us into a P5 conference. we have seen progress in basketball with the COA hire now lets hope Willie gets it turned around in an hurry or Harlan brings in someone that does and makes us more relevant. As far as OCS goes we are heading for that but we can't do it until we have a team that gets people to show up. A new OCS might bring in a decent crowd for 1 year with a crappy team and now we are losing $$$ so we have to get a winning team and bring excitement back to the program

Harlan is looking for a way out now. No doubt in my mind. This program is a half decade away from being shut down now

In this case the rumor is simply an unconfirmed truth. Its going to happen.

 

 

Like FSU to the Big 12 from a couple of years ago?  It was being peddled through similar sources as a "done deal" and what conference are they in now?.  I'll believe this when someone reputable picks it up.  If this was the dude from Orange Bloods or McMustache I'd be convinced but right now this is just chumming the water for hits.  But carry on fellas, it will be fun to say I told you so....

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
