I'll tell you what. When you get a man to coach your team, then you come back and talk $h!+. I know you little babies were crying after getting your arses handed to you in Hattiesburg. Did you cry after the UAB game too?

Leavitt Rips Bowl Selection Process
By BRETT McMURPHY

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - South Florida ended 2003 the same way it ended 2002 - with an impressive road victory followed by mass pleading for a bowl berth.

And just like last season, the Bulls will be home for the holidays, a fact that irks USF coach Jim Leavitt.

``If they can petition and get us out of a bowl last year, why can't they petition and get us in this year,'' Leavitt said. ``If you can take [last year's] 9-2 team and move people around from other conferences so we get slighted, why can't you do it the other way around?

``This country can do whatever you want to do. I know we'd bring 30,000 if we could ever go anywhere.''

The problem for USF (7-4, 5-3 C-USA) is the NCAA requires six Division I-A victories. Schools can count one win against a Division I-AA club, if the I-AA school averages at least 60 scholarships in the past three years.

Neither Nicholls State or Charleston Southern met the 60-scholarship requirement. The NCAA allows for the I-AA school to appeal to have its win counted, but neither school plans to appeal.

Several USF players said they were told Athletic Director Lee Roy Selmon would appeal to the NCAA to get one of USF's I-AA victories counted as a I-A win. But NCAA spokesman Dennis Poppe said there is no appeal process for a I-A school.

There also had been earlier discussions between USF and the Tangerine Bowl, which initially was interested in inviting USF (if bowl eligible) and sending its Big 12 representative to the Fort Worth Bowl.

Saturday, the Tangerine announced a Kansas-N.C. State matchup.

``How can we finish third in this conference and not go to a bowl?'' Leavitt said. ``It's not our fault Baylor and Eastern Michigan dropped us. That's wrong.

``You're going to keep us out of a bowl because of Nicholls State, because of three scholarships [shy of the 60 average]? That's ridiculous.

``Here we finish in third [with Louisville and Memphis] and we've got teams going to a bowl game we've beat. To me that's nuts. I don't like it, it's ridiculous. I think I have a good argument.''

As passionate as Leavitt is, the Bulls have no shot, said a high-ranking bowl executive.

``When they lost to UAB last week, everyone crossed them off their list,'' the bowl official said. ``At best, they were a very, very long shot with an appeal, but this late in the game, they have no chance.''

There is a place for smack talk and it is called the smack forum. That is where you'll find the thread.
