You can't honestly believe that we can win the Big East? We just lost to a non-BCS team. We are two minutes and a lot of luck away from being 1-3.

If you are a recruit can you possibly take Skip seriously? We are on a collision course to be the fifth or sixth rated football program in the State of Florida. Given the state of play yesterday it's entirely possible and in fact likely that UCF and FIU would beat us.

I understand that it's unrealistic for USF to ever be consitently on par with UF and FSU. But given the demise of the U's brand and the hotbed of recruiting at our doorstep we can and should be the 3rd tier team in Florida.

Perfectly possible to win the Big East on paper. And we have the talent. If we crap the bed in the Big East again, I will join in the fire Skippy crowd. But the goal at the beginning of the season--win a conference championship--is still within reach.

BTW, we are also one minute away from being 3-1, and six minutes away from being 4-0...neither of these losses were blowouts at all.

You have a level of optimism I cannot understand...

Glad someone does, but I'm officially off of the Skip train.... Players still have to execute; it's clear they have quit on Skip

Has Skip assisted you in writing this? He said the same things last season and how'd that work out for him?

I am a donor and have been since day one and spend a nice chunk of change each year supporting this team, but quite frankly, with 2 kids in college, I can certainly find a better use for our money, than watching Howdy Doody's rainbows and puppies

If we were 5 minutes away from loosing to Ball State I'd say Skip should be fired. The fact that this game was even close is reason enough to send him packing. I don't blame Skip, it is a tough job and he just isn't cut out for it. Our AD is the one we should be naming the urinals after! To give a guy an extension AFTER missing the first bowl game in what, 5 years? Insane!

and now for something completely different.......... (sing to New York New York)

Start spreading the blues

Skip's extension allows him to stay

I want to be no part of it

Bulls lose Bulls lose

These vagabond fans

They are longing to stray

Right through the very start of it

First Half, First half

I want to wake up in that conference

That doesn't suck

And find I'm conference champ

Top of the weak

My commuter campus blues

They are put on display

I'm gonna make a rebranded start of it

In the old New Big East

If I can make it there

I'll wear just underwear

It's up to you Big Donors

New Coach, New COACH!

bravo Mike

Hey, I don't think Skip gets a pass at all on any of this, and the contract extension was just plain stupid. And this team looks awful overall, no doubt. But we're .500 right now....just like we pretty much always are at the end of every season. Right now for wins/losses, this team is right at par. Hell, if we keep it up we'll match our best Big East record ever.

Just saying...it's two losses...well, three after next week. Then the bulk of Big East play which is where this season will be evaluated as a success or failure.

    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.

    Act like you’ve been there before. Turns out, for many of us, we haven’t been there before.
