USF & Illinois discussing moving their game to Champaign

I missed your post about how this was a foregone conclusion. If it was easy our AD wouldn't have been giving round the clock updates. I give him and his efforts all the credit here after our game was relegated to the expendable column in favor of Illinois.

And since we didn't get to discuss it much I'm predicting a win on Nov 4. UConn +10.

Nothing was a foregone confusion. One side was jumping up and down pounding its fists. The other waited until there was resolution.

Wrong! The other side got on their soapbox and preached to "us" about how we were disgusting human beings who valued a football game over another person's life. Or am I supposed to ignore that and go with your new explanation?

I never participated, other than to correct some facts and chide chief for being a complete to someone, so you might want to try somewhere else.

What part of the AAC announcement that the "USF vs UCONN game will not be rescheduled" did you not understand?

No, we just said you were not smart for thinking this game was cancelled because USF wanted to avoid playing UConn. And considering they agreed to play us here in November it proves our point. But please use more sentences with one word and an exclamation point.

Since you were arguing against a strawman you invented you should win.

To be fair... >>the AAC said said that the game is unlikely to be rescheduled, as the teams do not share a bye week, according to AAC spokesman Chuck Sullivan. “But it’s only Week 2, and too soon to project what happens the rest of the way.”<<

Thanks for the correction. in that case the word "unlikely" would rightfully cause us fanantics to act like petulant toddlers. There were other reports that the game would not be rescheduled.

Well seeing as I never said and/or thought that, I guess you won that (non-)argument. My point still stands, you and those who thought like you labeled "us" as subhuman because we weren't buying the flimsy excuses put out by USF. Not to mention, I'm noticing you aren't the least bit outraged that schools with Florida born players actually went through with playing a game over valuing the life of their family members...or something.

They always had the caveat out there but "canceled" was used often because there was no clear path to rescheduling immediately.

Literally everything I've said on the topic since the beginning has been proven right.

Your program is a total absolute complete joke and is embarrassing the AAC.

There is not a single thing that prevents USF from playing Illinois other than USF is run by cowards.

The high wind gust at the Tampa airport was 66 mph - you guys can stop with the drama now.

I hope Illinois sues you into bolivion.

Really? Literally everything?

Except I don't think that announcement was never made. Official releases said "will not be played as scheduled", and one representative supposedly told a reporter that it was "unlikely that it would be rescheduled" before anyone really had any time to think about it.

You missed the point, no surprise.

Yes every single thing that happened has shown they made their decisions for competitive reasons.

So you think from day 1 the entire objective was to get extra time to prepare to play Illinois and play UConn in November rather than September when it is cold? You honestly believe this?

Their entire motivation was to minimize distractions and impacts to their travel schedule.

The only other explanation is that they are too dumb for words - so I'm actually giving them the benefit of the doubt.

...and yet you seem to be trying claim victory about something while the rest of us are just glad we didn't lose a home game.
