    4th_floor Dude, where's my laptop?

    When Orlando leaves, we should hire Charlie as DC. With Herman hugging and kissing him, Charlie would really thrive!

    I've been a Texas Rangers fan since 1974. I've NEVER lost my excitement for next year.

    He didn’t believe a word of it and he also said you were from Oklahoma but wouldn’t admit it.

    So, either South Florida has a sorry fan base, or, like their coach, are very giving people and would rather their tickets go to someone less fortunate....

    USF doesn't have a fanbase. It's the UTSA of Florida. Sure, there might be a diehard mixed in there somewhere, but those people are few and far between. There's a picture of the USF Bull in the dictionary next to "commuter school." Students who enroll in classes there are shocked to find out they offer Bachelor degrees.

    1.059 is four times the actual attendance of their home games. IF they have 85 scholarship players, 15 walkons. coaches families. administration, managers, trainers, that comes out about 6-8 tickets per family after their three fans buy tickets.

    When Jim Leavitt was the coach, they had 60,000 attend games multiple times. They may actually have one of the bigger fan bases of any non power team.

    USF was in a BCS conference in the Big East. Dropping from a power conference to a non-power conference plus years of being bad has probably hurt their attendance. They started winning again, but I am guessing they will not return to their attendance levels from 10 years ago unless they get back into a power conference.

    Interestingly, South Florida’s average home attendance dropped from 37,529 in 2016 with Willie Taggert to 26,401 in 2017 with Charlie Strong.

    Or, more likely, even a school like USF realizes that going to an irrelevant bowl is a waste of time, money and energy.

    Maybe last year's success was based on the players left over from the prior season...

    I have no idea what the point of this thread is. But then I got tired of trying to figure it out before the second page...

    Strong takes over a team that went 11-2 and in only his second season they will be 7-5 after they lose to UCF next week. That was quick.

    This emoji turned out to be the point of the thread. Strange how things happen.

    It is the one outside of Tropicana Field in St. Pete. The port-a-can is painted blue so the USF fans can tell the difference between the two.

    It's Florida.

    If the 3 members of the fanbase are the athletic department cigars, and if they vote on Strong, we won't know the results until 2019 --- after a machine recount, then a manual recount.

    and then finding the box with the missing ballots. At least LBJ had the sense to get those dead people to vote for him.
