( i checked wikopedia the national enquirer of the internet and it confirms he was a.d. 2001-2004). anyways, when miami, va tech and bc left the big east several years ago, people said that usf could become what miami had been.. personally i didn t believe it... but i was wrong... regarding the nfl, would love to see the rams go 0-16, being a bucs fan... nothing would be better than to get my bucs removed as last team to go winless. being here in the east, and a former resident of fla, i have known a little about usf. if i recall correctly, i think leroy selmon was tied to the program until a few years ago (as school a.d. as i recall but had to resign due to unspecified health reasons..

For the last several years this team has made up reasons to motivate them. They say things like "nobody believed in us, but we believed in us"...even though they have been favored in nearly every game for the last 5 years. However, this year is different. The coach and the players who remain from the Super Bowl teams of the recent past TRULY have something to prove. There are a lot of people - people who matter - that think their victories are tainted because of the videotaping scandal. This year, they are going to go out of their way to make sure nobody can say that after 2007. They'll run the table because they're the best team in 20 years...because they're angrier than any team in the league...and they won't rest their starters in Week 16 & 17 like the Colts. On the other hand, I don't think any pro team can go winless...even if it wants to. There are too many people in a pro locker room that have too much pride to let their team lose every game. Players also know that they have a greater risk of injury if they go through the motions half speed than if they give 100%. The Rams are bad, but they're not horrible. They only had thre Week 1 starters on the field last week. They'll get healthy and win a few down the stretch. There are also enough leaders on that team who will keep them motivated to win at least one game. The same can be said for the Dolphins (Jason Taylor comes to mind). Here's hoping USF runs the table. It's nice to see a couple of guys with Iowa ties (head coach Jim Leavitt and assistant head coach Dan McCarney) finding success in Florida. Go Bulls!

Think about it, if the Browns can put of 51 points then there must be some God that will make the pats lose. The Pats are great but each week the pressure builds up and as we all know in sports anything can happen and that is why the Pats will end up losing to a team that no one expected them to lose to. Dare I say it.....GO BROWNS!!! Dan,

They have been competative through three quaters in all of their games. They have lost two games by field goals on the last play of the game, trail the Raiders by 4 after three, trailed the Cowboys by 7 after three, and trailed the Browns by 3 after three quaters. They only lost to the Jets at New York by 3. They will win a game with the Jets at Miami, and home and home with the Bills left on their schedule.

(ie, theirs are hard) i think Ronnie Brown and Stephen Jackson are both good enough to win at least one game by themselves. (like Peterson did this week) it would be cool, though, if bob in MIL was right in his last sentence.

Are you telling me that S. Florida is better than OKL.???? PLEEESE! Barring injuries, I see nobody stopping New England now. They've completely steamrolled everyone so far. REMEMBER....they've only gone six weeks of sixteen Miami is gaining strength to go winless. If Ronnie Brown gets hurt, their shot goes way up. Nice hire for a head coach too. His pedigree is a pile of losing seasons in Indiana and then being a coordinator who had to fill a offensive scheme with LaDainian Tomlinson. How strange would it be for all the '72 Dolphins having to lose their crown to the hated Patriots while their own team goes 0-16??

Anything that might screw up the stupid BCS is awesome. Dan, I want you to talk about this on your show>>>>> Here's the Playoff System Proposal. Take the 4 BCS bowls and put them in a bracket. This still gives the "Suits" their bowl money and then we only need to add 2 games. We already have the 4 BCS bowls and then a BCS Championship game. We only need to add 2 more games. Everyone is happy...... Suits get their money and fans get a true champion. I am now a Bull. Anything that might screw up the stupid BCS is awesome.
