Sorry for short notice I’m out of town and forgot about the tix and frankly the game. Free to a good home.

Please keep all game chatter in this thread.

I'm expecting the same starters we saw against SEMO: Harris, Miguel, Chaplin, Bryant & Tchewa.

Keysahwn Bryant enters tonight's game just eight points away of 1,000 in his collegiate career.

A loss to SEMO State hurts, but Bryant has shown he can play beyond a Gregory offense and Harris couldn't play any worse than Monday. This is a big number to cover, especially for a team that won this matchup last year by only 6.

I am pounding the Bulls.

BG: I think tremendous effort, obviously 20 offensive rebounds. We out rebounded them on the offensive end by five. They press the whole game. We play solid man to man, they have 20 turnovers against our solid man to man we have 17 against their full court press. We did a lot a lot of good things. Tremendous effort on the offensive glass, tremendous effort in transition -- 16 fast break points.

Guys, you got to make your free throws man. I mean, everybody out there is going to, you know, say whatever, but you got to make two free throws. Lost two games because we're shooting 50% from the free throw line. And Tyler Harris is good shooter Chap shoots the free throw line good. So Miguel does. You know we shoot a lot of them so we just got to keep plugging away because it's disappointing.

But I thought in the second half they did a little better job on the offensive glass. I think they got nine in the second half. And some big ones. But you know hard fought game on the road in a hostile environment. Disappointed no doubt about it. But we got to learn from this one. And we have no time to lick our wounds. You got to turn right back around and play a team that just beat Florida State. So that's the way it goes early in the year. It's gonna take us a little time to you know, guys tightened in some stuff up in the system. But we'll get there for sure.

On how frustrating is the three point shooting...

Yeah, you're not gonna get a lot of clean looks against Auburn, you know what I mean? I thought Tyler had some clean ones. We got to get him going. He had some he had some clean ones. We shot a couple of them a little too fast. You know, they were 5-of-25 from the three. So I mean, it's two hard nosed defensive teams going after each other. So, yeah, I mean, we gotta the ball better and when we don't we gotta be better attacking offensive glass. You know, Auburn last year won a lot of games. They didn't have one guard shoot over 40% from the field or 33% from the three and multiple guards in the 20s. But what they do is they are relentless on the offensive glass and that gives you more freedom to be streaky from the perimeter.

On Auburn's pressure defense...

Well, I think that one of the big things was when Tyler picked up his fourth foul. That was critical because he was able to get the ball and he was able to get us into whatever we were trying to run. You know, again, I think we got to enjoy your 100% right on the threes, but we got to finish some plays around the basket too. You know, we had we had multiple plays around the basket either on a post up one-on-one in the post or some put backs and some layups. So you got you got to finish those plays. You know, we shoot 35% They end up shooting 40% Because they shot better in the second half. But you know it's about putting the ball in the basket and we just got to do we got to do a better job of that we got to finish plays around the basket. When you get open shots you got to you got to bury some of them and when you go to the free throw line you got to make it's not that it's not that hard. We're we could be become an elite defensive team and rebounding team sort of fast break points are going to be critical, critical for us. And we got to get a couple guys off the snide when it comes to making some open shots.

Saturday South Florida plays its second game in Raymond James Stadium since September against SMU.

GAME PREVIEW by @JShewey

Just ran into a Bulls fan here in Munich!

South Florida travels to No. 15 Auburn in search of its first win of the season.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR

South Florida interim head coach Daniel Da Prato previews SMU.

VIDEO

Coach Scott posting family photos with his children in Clemson gear doesn’t sit well with me. It shows a lack of dedication and true passion for USF from the outside looking in. All that US2F talk seems disingenuous when you get little glimpses like this. If you are the head coach at USF, you should not be representing another university no matter what. Maybe he should just go back…

I know we have people all over Florida and the East Coast of the US and the storm can do more than just the usual stuff like uproot trees and other hazards so please be safe!

Today marks the start of the Early Signing Period in basketball.

Anthony Robinson's NLI is signed and delivered.

IRVING, Texas – American Athletic Conference Commissioner Mike Aresco has announced the four-year football scheduling model for conference games that will be in place for the 2023-26 seasons.

The scheduling model was unanimously approved by The American’s athletic directors this week.

The 2023 season will be The American’s first with 14 football-playing institutions. The schedule format calls for each team to play eight conference games each year. Each team will face the other 13 conference teams at least twice during the four-year cycle – once at home and once on the road.

Six matchups will be played annually in this cycle: North Texas-SMU, UAB-Memphis, Rice-UTSA, Charlotte-East Carolina, Florida Atlantic-South Florida and Navy-Temple.

“This scheduling model fulfills all of the objectives that we identified as we look forward to competition among our 14 outstanding teams,” said Aresco. “Most important, it is a fair model that has the unanimous support of our athletic directors. It allows for all four-year student-athletes to play at all of our venues at least once during their careers. It reestablishes some longstanding geographic rivalries and provides a foundation for new rivalries to develop. It also provides all of our teams with annual access to the state of Texas and other important recruiting areas.”

The American will not have a divisional format during the four-year cycle. The top two teams in the final regular season standings will qualify for the American Athletic Conference Championship Game.

The 2023 conference schedule will be announced following the completion of the 2022 season.

I remember lasting out the last few months on the old Scout site with BP, ChiTown, USF94, MtMed, USFDave, and a few other die hards clinging for life with moderate Larry (Beach). The other moderator, Josh Newberg, left our beloved site to move on to supposedly better options at USF 24/7, and shortly later to FSU24/7. Rivals, at the time, was sucking wind in regards to most things USF, not because it was a lesser site, but because it lacked the quality Scout members who posted with the same fervor it took to build the previous site. We all knew it was our little group that could help our product, the USF Bulls football team grow to new unparalleled heights! I think we accomplished that, God look at those great years of success. But we're not finished!

I remember the hustle I had to do to try to coax a few of you guys as Scout members that were left as well as the ones who opted to the newer USF site at 24/7, to come to this site!

Over the years I hope our relationship initially as a mere member has evolved into more than a membership, but today as actual friends and fanatics for the program we love, the USF Bulls!

Recently it has been implied that I no longer am supportive of this team, "not all in" is exactly what was said. Personally - and I am not speaking for Matt - but myself, and am pretty pissed off reading my supposed lack of passion for all things USF sports. My passion should not be in question here. No one asked me why I might cancel, just assumed something.

From Kelly, "The reason why is people like yourself to be honest who are not all in on their team. You and Bullsgold who keeps canceling and uncanceling his sub are prime examples of the issue facing USF as they try to grow the product."

I have no idea why a moderator would qualify my passion or any one else's for that matter, when, he, himself has already explained he and Russ aren't fans only moderators. "We are not fans but we obviously want USF Athletics to be successful," I believe was his response. Sorry, but Russ is definitely a fan.

I want others here both new and old to Rivals USF to understand that a member like myself is NOT a "prime example(s) of the issue facing USF as they try to grow the product," but as a strong member who puts positive reinforcement into most every post as well as post in a manner becoming to this site. I am not a dysfunction to this site!

It's been brought up by many here on this site, not me mind you, that many of the yearly season ticket holders were upset and pretty ticked off that they were already "subscribed" for next years football season during around the 8th week of the season, meaning they would have to pay for not only the rest of this season, but many of you are already forced to become 2023 season ticket holders. You guys were pretty ticked off. Many still are.

Well being a Rivals member has the same not so friendly "benefits". If any member has prepaid for a full years membership you are on the hook for the entire year, regardless if you want to leave today. There is no pro-rating. Fine with me. That's Rivals rules. So I go to monthly. Rivals does not tell you when you are close to the monthly deadline, because they don't have one, they again reserve the right to bump your membership to month to month. The only other option anyone has is to cancel altogether, or sign up month to month.

First of all, I don't keep on canceling my subscription here. I did around a year ago for a few months, and came back. I've been on this site for decades, or damn well close to it.

When I came back I explained that I felt the need to leave, not due to content posted by Kelly and Russ, but because the site had become to toxic with negativity from some of its members. I want the site to be successful, but I have no idea how any business can have anything but remote success when threads are riddled by continued negativity, and I expressed my thoughts at the time.

I'm more frustrated because it appears moderators can possibly use the same databases to review any canceled or upcoming canceled contracts and then post faulty information about a member before verifying their stance with said member. I haven't canceled anything - not yet - but for some odd reason the entire site knows my private information regarding my membership. I'm a healthcare provider and I'm pretty sure HIPPA laws do not allow me to give out a patients information unless allowed by that patient.

I guess I don't like it when somebody takes pot shots at me either. And I'm sure as shit I'm not the reason this site is not the way some people might want it, I sure wasn't expecting to be under the bus and rolled back over when I woke up this morning reading this horse shit.

Lastly, as I mentioned before, I post on this site to hopefully make an improvement to it, and Kelly, no disrespect to you, I'm okay with the information given by you and Russ. My canceling my contract, if that happens, has more to do with where the site is going, not where it has been. If it's not going in the right direction and I felt in my heart and soul that I'm not being of service to this site, then nobody needs to tell me anything. I'll move on. If the site wants to burn the program down, then, I guess, the members can go that direction.

I believe that it does matter how those who post makes or breaks the site. I've run a business for over thirty years and never have seen one business become successful telling employees they are ignorant, failures, and not successful. It just doesn't happen that way.

Were all just clowns in the back of the bus hoping today is going to be our day!

Right after Jeff Scott leaves.
