Up front I have doubts that a sport of such prominence in American history is headed in the right direction. Great players allowed the sport to grow into a major industry at both the college and professional level. When everything is based solely on sports betting that is in effect slapping these great players in the face. It is doing the same to loyal fans who watch football for the love of the game.

Look at our board. There is little conversation of the game that doesn't relate to the spread, the odds or the over-under. Football is strictly for degenerate gamblers. Legalize sports betting everywhere, let people lose everything they own betting sports. Casino's don't get as grandiose as they are by losing money. The new economy is sick. That's just one Bulls-Bucs true fan's opinion.

I've heard all the prohibition arguments and I don't see them as honest. That's all I have to say on the matter.

GO BULLS !!!!! GO BUCS !!!!!

(On court Basketball only)

All the teams in the American are off to a good start except for USF(only winless team). Rice (1-1) beat FIU and loss a close one to FSU. Charlotte(1-1) beat Presbyterian and got destroyed by Utah State. Preseason conference favorite UAB was stunned by a loss to Vermont, but has 2 wins over Southern Miss and SE Louisiana fairly easy. Strong start for Lendeborg. He leads the Blazers in all 5 major categories, pts, rebs, assts, stls, and blocks per game. The guy is a monster. UAB won’t win a game without him. The most notable wins in the AAC so far are by Memphis who is 2-0 despite the usual turmoil for Penny’s team. They beat Missouri in a home game, and UNLV on the road. The most impressive team imo is Florida Atlantic who I had rated higher than most others. FAU has a new HC and literally loss their entire team, but I was high on the new coach who came in and didn’t complain, just went to work. FAU added 11(wow) new players plus a whole new coaching staff this offseason. So far they look good and haven’t skipped a beat. Great job by the guys in Boca. Tulsa, WSU, ECU, UNT, Tulane, and UTSA are are undefeated but untested.
Note: Tulsa beat UAPB 104- 80 yesterday. USF host the Golden Lions in the home opener Tuesday.

Top 25 news

Kansas is the No. 1 team and just came off an awesome contested game against #11 UNC.

#6 Gonzaga could go undefeated in their league(again) they just destroyed then #8 Baylor 101 - 63! You just don’t see that kind lopsided win against a fellow top 10 team, at least in men’s basketball. To Baylor’s credit they came right back to beat Calipari’s #16 Razorbacks team 72-67.

Karter Knox note: Averaging 2.5 pts, 3 rebs, 0.5 asst, and shooting only 28% FG. He is the 8th man in minutes on a 9 man rotation that Calipari is only using so far.

#9 Auburn went to #4 Houston and won 72-67 in a hard fought war. That is the best win on the any top 25 team imo because it is hard to beat the Cougars at their place. Love him or hate him, Bruce Pearl’s teams are just amazing to watch and always good. I have never cared for the man’s character but as a Head Coach, he has been one of the best a long time.

#10 Tennessee routed Louisville 77-55, throwing water on the Cardinals faithful who thought their team was ready for big time. No so fast my friend!
Kasean Pryor Note: just like the entire Cardinals team, that step up in competition against the Vols cooled the fire a little. One made FG(6pts) 2rebs, 3 TOs

We climbed another 7% after our monster jump last year and ended at $738 million in research funding.
When we hit $1 Billion, it puts us in a very elite group… and we’re growing quick. That AAU is coming in quite handy.

"SMU edges Alabama for final College Football Playoff spot"

I hate a lot of what's happened to college football, but I love the new model. I never thought in a million years that an SMU would get chosen before Alabama. I look forward to the games and hope somehow the underdogs can make some noise this year!

Congratulations to the 2025 Class!

We jumped from #194 to #172 with the road loss at Loyola-Chicago. Here are our updated results and upcoming games by quad. Webber International is an NAIA school and not listed below.

As of this morning, NET has the AAC has a 1-bid league and ESPN FPI has the us starting at 13-6 and 4-1 in conference, thanks to a soft opening conference stretch, before finishing the year at 17-14 and 9-9 in conference. That's likely enough for MK to sign Fletcher to a long-term, inexpensive deal.

Should be a fun one.

https://g.co/kgs/4wgBVQU

USF is 1- 7 ATS, including 0-5 on the road/neutral locations, this season while Loyola-Chicago is 7-0 to start the season and covered 3 of their last 4. The Ramblers rank #68 in OER and #17 in DER. Loyola-Chicago can defend and is strong on the offensive and defensive glass (ranks #43 in rebound percentage). This is the toughest opponent the Bulls have faced since the opener against Florida.

Pick: Loyola-Chicago -9.5 with a lean to Loyola-Chicago -5 (1st Half)

Would Brown leave because he is actually this severely wanted QB, or is he just tired of the way the offense is being ran? Some here will want to say it's a talent issue, but next year will be year three. Some will say it's a scheme issue?

Is there a manner here to have a real discussion and can we open our minds just a little?

Personally I feel Brown will take the easy way out and bolt, something of the "God is good" and move on to becoming a backup somewhere else. I am seriously concerned about how poorly our QB's are taught to throw the ball, how little our WR coaches understand getting open is not always about speed, but route running etc.

Our scheme has seriously began to decline to where it wouldn't really use the word "scheme" any longer.

CAG is a good guy, but maybe his problem was coming into USF with a preconceived idea of running a certain offense rather than trying to do something with the talent you have.

I had heard he has been looking at other options.
