Being in the top 10 has added pressure!!

[Bull Matrix]

Now I can understand how those top tens feel when they are always in defense mode. I give them the respect because it is not easy to hold on to that top 10 ranking. As a long time USF fan, I never had to deal with that pressure of being ranked so high. All these overrated remarkes dont bother me anymore because I know fame comes with criticism. At the end of the day, it is great to be a BULL!!! GO BULLS!!!!

A win is a win.  The Bulls were most likely looking ahead to UCF.

Yes, and this game against UCF is going to be tough since we have Rutgers right after that.  I am so proud of our team. They have already proven that USF can make noise on the national scene. After USF keeps being in the spotlight for years then the critics will shut up. They cant seem to understand how a program that is only 11 years can come up this fast, so they have to take shots at us. All USF can do is keep on winning. That is what it is all about!!!! GO BULLS!!!!

[Bulls On Parade]

We will be getting other teams best shots, the best way to counter that is to get a early lead.

Is it just me or did everyone else feel like they were going to puke (pressure-nervousness) because of the type of game it was? 

That game was not fun for me.  Anyone that says...'Enjoy it'...I have some choice words for that.  Lose to a team like FAU regardless of how well FAU was playing and the drop would have been like falling off the cliff and the avalanche of 'I told you so's' from the media and fans from other schools would have been unreal.

Now...on to the next 'I'm going to puke game' in UCiF...another school we 'can't' lose to for all kinds of reasons....

USF JIMBO,

I agree in that I was a nervous wreck for that game. I knew it was going to be a close game, so that did not shock me. Heck, I always use Coach Leavitt's approach to games even if we are playing against schools like Liberty or Cumberland. I always worry about that embarrassing loss that will bring those critics out such as Steve Duschbag. I am enjoying being ranked this high today, but I know I will be a nervous wreck come next Saturday.
