5 best things and grade the year for USF sports

[Guest BasketBull.]

Top-five best things.

1) Picked for the Big East

2) Retaining Coach Leavitt (Don't kid yourself. No Big East... He's gone!)

3) Facility completion

4) New AD

5) No new scandals and lawsuits (Amen!)

Grade: (out of 5 stars)

4 1/2 Stars

[glb]It's been an excellent year for USF sports![/glb]

---We could have used a stud QB, but what are you going to do? ... And a few programs didn't do so well, but many did very well, like women basketball and softball.

[E.T.]

I agree with all 5 of those ... and makes the future look very bright for USF.

Go BULLS !!!

On a negative note, 3.0-3.5 stars.  No bowl for football, basketball was dismal and baseball disappointed with a season end collapse.  Every thing you mentioned was good but I don't believe CJL wooda been otter here without the BE thingie.  He'd of waited to win the conference title.  As for the new AD I call it a nuetral thing.  Bulls lost LRS but made a solid choice for his replacement.

Well, if you call athletes getting in trouble with the law "not a scandal"....then congrats!

If you call offering a job to one of 2 finalist WITHOUT a complete background check...which was filled with Cocaine charges, DUI, State and Federal Tax Liens, not a scandal, congrats.

On the other hand...no doubt Big East invite was a big boost to Football...but more so to Basketball.

PS. On UCF's hand...winning 9 Conf Championships this year...best Hoop record since entering Div I-A, etc...that was great. Almost a 4.75 on a 5 pt scale

But "our" scandal/disaster on/off the field with Football was a -2.

Boost obviously to O'Leary hiring (considering how LOW UCF was) helped alot.

I'd say a 3.5 overall for UCF.

Who asked for your opinion on UCF sports? ;D

[Omniscientbull]

How did I know someone would try to turn this into a UCF pissing match.

Your higher education came from USF?  

[Guest S.  Bien]

How come I expected it to be the faintly delusional KL.

Sadly, the facts on the AD offering are muttled, but UCF fans only deal with dispair.

[S p e n c e]

I would have to put the best footbull recruiting class in school history on that list as well.  I am expecting BIG things from this class in the years to come.
