Delicious Bull Tears Mega Thread

These Unis are far and away better than the neon puke. But think about it. What most would consider throwback jerseys for a game or two are actually their new marketing. "Back to Our Roots". Their fans never left and not a player currently rostered in any school has any idea about the cows in 15 years ago. They were 4 years old or less and it was not that big.

I agree with this, their roots are as a program that has never won anything, and think they deserve to be in a better conference despite all the systematic failures over previous decades.

Conference realignment: Big Ten, SEC haven't expressed interest in Miami, per report
Miami doesn't really fit the mold of a SEC or B1G school. Miami is a private university with a small enrollment. In addition, they haven't exactly been lighting it up in quite a while. I believe USF has more appeal long term that Miami. Especially if we get AAU status.

I mean you rarely hear anyone talking about Miami, yet usf, 'everyone knows when they hit the field." I guarantee you up here in near Atlanta, you can still hear the begging from U. Georgia to 'Just let usf join us!!!"

I think he’s just thinking out loud of better days past…he so wishes he was back there instead of stuck in the fiery gates of hell that is usf athletics.

Maybe “Going Back to Their Roots” means joining C-USA? Or getting rid of their horrible football program and begging the Big East to take them in?

And this take on the same announcement has a great quote as well:

"No tire tread detail on the jersey"

Well they certainly earned that "just got run over by a Mac truck" look here recently. Too bad they removed it.

Still Living in the past. Does anyone remember when this happened?

"It’s a return to the look that put USF on the map. Where a swarm and attack defense punished progrums like Florida State, Cincinnati, and Notre Dame,
 
Has the BIG12 officially offered SDSU? Not sure why we'd be in a hurry to offer them vice wait out the other fall out schools.
Doubt they've offered. The idea is the SDSU market would be a good addition. Maybe better than adding AZ and ASU together. So if the Big XII can't get the Pac 12 teams it wants it might take SDSU. It's also been stated that SDSU is the top target for Pac 12 to backfill with so if the Big 12 takes them it will weaken the Pac 12s options. It's just one perspective on the battle between the Big XII and Pac 12.

SDSU also has a lot of alumni in that area and they built a new football stadium as the beginning of a Mission Valley campus that will include research, innovation, and a hotel/retail complex. IOW, they are the closest thing to us and are positioned as a school that can take advantage of the new economy. I’d love to have SDSU in the B12 and not just because my right hand guy is a SDSU alum.

Hope not, getting P5 schools with P5 level facilities, recruiting, and brands has to be the overwhelming first priority. A G5 should only be used as a fill-in to get a P5 school a partner. Even with a nice market SDSU would be like the 5th best program in California (maybe 6th)......sounds like a slightly improved version of usf doesn’t it?

Good thing nobody said this about us...
 
Lol 😂
I’m not confident they beat Uconn or WKY, but I sure wouldn’t count UAB, UTSA and FAU as wins. They might be in for a rude awakening next year in the FCS.

Bowl game or bust. After we win 6 or more wins this season I expect us to start winning 8 or more starting next season
Next year we will have the C-USA teams replacing CIncy, Houston, and UCF... plus FAMU, @ U Conn, @ Western Kentucky, and Alabama... so, 3-1 in OOC will make 8 wins that much easier to achieve.

Different situation, right now we are discussing the implosion of a P5 conference and there are presumably available schools. Make no mistake, if USC/UCLA movement occurred last year, No WAY would any of the G5 schools have been invited.

Almost identical. Two anchor teams leaving the conference and teams are looking to bail. PAC Conference looking to backfill with G5s. Only difference is that there are two conferences looking to add rather than one. The only real difference is we are on the other side of the fence and that there are some P5s available to pick. But the dirty truth is none of the P5s outside of OU And UW really bring that much more than SDSU to the table. P5 names don't mean as much once you lose the support of the blue blood programs, that is what is being exposed by the media consultants as this goes forward.

SDSU is a lot like UCF. They have upside, they have facilities, they have invested in the program but have been fighting against the big name schools forever with 1/10th the resources. They have not had the on field success but if they did they could have an impact in So Cal.

As a former resident of sd, id be all for them if we added the two az schools as well. Dont have to twist my arm to get me to go to sd for a game. Their fans also are like us in that they get overlooked by usc/ucla

Nowhere close to being identical, no B12 team was close to joining the PAC, there was no media negotiations occurring, no discussion about ACC teams.....there were no teams close to jumping between the B12 and PAC.

We were extremely lucky that no P5s were seriously thinking about jumping ship last year, and that the PAC made a stupid decision to open negotiations early this year.

None were asked to join the PAC because there were none that the PAC thought worthy at the time. I am sure there were plenty who would have jumped at the time because the PAC with the LA schools is better than the B12 leftovers. So the B12 back filled with G5s. Now it is role reversal only B12 is not as shortsighted as the PAC. But now the PAC leftovers are exposed. Oregon State and Washington State are nothing less that SDSU. The B12 considers markets, facilities, growth and brand. G5 vs P5 is dead for the moment. It is now a numbers game when it comes to inclusion. It is why the cows get mentioned from time to time even though they suck.

No...they're not. They play in a weaker MWC G5 conference than the AAC. The P5 schools they've historically played are weak PAC12. They've never played in a NY6 game. Nobody in SoCal cares about college football. Bad idea...I'd take Boise over SDSU any day.

I’d take Memphis over either. They’re putting big money into upgrading stadium and football facilities and there’s no argument over bb. That said, I’d still wait to see if any PAC 12- teams become available or later ACC teams. Not going to elevate the conference with G5 schools if P5 are available.

Agreed....I'd be OK w/Memphis based on your facts. If the Big12 was going west and a G5, I'd take Boise.

It is amazing how short our memory can be. We were in the same boat. We were viewed the same way by P5 programs. MWC v AAC is an argument made between G5 fans. To the P5 they are all the same. You have to look to potential before when looking at G5 programs. It is one of the reasons we were picked. Boise is ok but what is the upside? What is their future pull in terms of eyes? Have they hit their ceiling? UCF has not.

We weren’t in the same boat. The situation last year was the Big 12 adding teams. The situation this year is potentially adding teams as the PAC 12 implodes. If PAC 12 was available to raid last year, some of those teams would have taken priority in Big 12 expansion. As it was, the Big 12 in 2021 took 4 name brand teams that have all won major bowls and been highly ranked recently. UCF in particular has cracked the top 15 of the AP in 5 different seasons over the past 9 years and appeared in 3 major bowls. A team like SDSU is not in that same boat. They just aren’t. Boise is. And Boise if it weren’t for academics coukd be high on future expansion lists.
 
From Bull Daly:
Lol people seem to forget that this thread was built on fantasy & speculation not reality. For crying out loud we had Yoda dressed up in a Tuxedo for the occasion. The super conferences will eventually blow up anyway. Better chance for USF when we see a 12 to 16 team playoff imo



So the conferences that pull in the most revenue will explode? Mmkay Yeah, all USF needs is 12-16 teams in the playoff and they are shoe in at 3-9.
