USF, FSU admins leave athletic departments out to dry

It was a bad day to be an athletic director (current or former) in Florida yesterday, as two prominent Division I-A school administrations laid some smack down on their athletics programs.
First up was the University of South Florida — darling of TMC and little-guy advocates everywhere — which saw its administration wrest control of academic [...]

It’s gonna be one of those years

It’s obvious already that the college basketball season is fully prepared to be just as nutty as the college football season. Here’s some quick notes from various games this past Sunday to prove it:
New Orleans 65, #21 North Carolina State 63:  The Wolfpack fall despite playing a New Orleans team that shot 10 percentage points [...]

USF now stands for “University of Shut the f*ck (up)”

These people need to be shot. Really. I’ll buy my first gun to do it.
Not only are ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Fowler hating on the South Florida Bulls, not only are the Harris and Coaches’ poll voters downgrading them, but now a professor at the other end of the country. J. Michael Robinson directs [...]

TMC Thursday Night Podcast - 10-18-07

Cast: Galen Clavio, John Koluder, Sean Bartel
Topics: South Florida and the unenlightened attitudes of the WWL; the concept of a playoff in college football; a look at some upcoming college games; the Kelvin Sampson situation at IU

The Games of the week

2-3-1 is not a fantastic week, but at least I have recovered from the IU loss, but not so much from the UB win. I will get to this in a bit. It is now apparent that the “old” IU football team has shown up and there is now zero predictability with this team. I [...]

TMC Wednesday Night podcast - 10-17-07

Cast: Galen Clavio, Warren Whisenant

It’s Wednesday, let’s sue Mike Vick

Curveballs, lawsuits, and missing caucasian point guards. Just a day in the life of SBA.
— We at TMC are not alone in our South Florida love. College Game Balls gets all philosophical about the situation, and advocates for the Bulls in the national title picture.
— The Big Lead updates the NFL power rankings. Seeing the [...]

Herbstreit, WWL continue to shamelessly diss South Florida

For those of you who didn’t see the 6:00 PM SportsCenter on Wednesday, you missed ESPN College Football “expert” Kirk Herbstreit doing one of those silly Sponsor-of-the-week segments. This one was the ‘Miller Lite Good Call/Bad Call’, where Herbie takes staged questions from Soccer Mom and uses his deft wit and hair to explain how [...]

WWL, experts just don’t get what’s up in college football

First off, props to the smartest college football fans in the country: The computers. ALL six of them had the team we have said over and over has the best resume: South Florida. Thus, even though the coaches and Harris pollsters drank too much Kool-Aid to realize Boston College hasn’t played a schedule close to [...]
