80mins

I wish the horns on the sleeves were a direct peeloff from the iconic U, but I like the concept.

I just bought in 101, so I'm glad to get in on this. Glad to be seeing the Bulls on my home (grew up nearby in Wilmington, DE) turf. For those not doing the Alumni tailgate (or doing both), what are lot plans?

The show Sprite Step Off follows six step teams as they compete in a national competition to crown one fraternity and one sorority the Sprite Step Off champion. I caught the first couple of episodes online; it turns out the Phi Beta Sigma team on the show is from UCF. http://www.mtv.com/shows/sprite_step_off/series.jhtml To bring it back home a bit, I'm sure these are guys who our very own George Selvie, who of course is a Sigma, knows.

I seem to recall he's down with Warner Brothers, not Disney.

I like "The Buddy Rocky" you used there!

Looks pretty spiffy. And the sports bar's going to be a Beef's? I don't think I had heard that before...

It's the student union.

Any glimpses of DM/Guard unis?

I'm on at work now (I use a Mac and Firefox at home) and so I'm seeing it for the first time... Very nice!!

: DP... that was weak. C'mon. We're talking about wearing another schools shirt on campus. If it's just clothing, then why not wear a generic shirt? What's the point of wearing another schools shirt on campus... are you trying to tell everyone that you are a fan of that school? Really... what's the point? Do you remember your HS days? Would it be normal to wear a shirt from another HS? What message are you trying to send? "It would be nice to have an unlimited supply of shirts for the team of our choice, but not everyone does." But someone has enough shirts of another school? DP!!!! C’mon. It’s not like all of us wear school shirts everyday. Well... if that's how UCFers handle it, then fine. However, I'm not putting up with that BS. Not at my alma mater. I have no problem with people wearing other school colors outside of campus or outside a school event to support that team (whether it's because you grew up following them or because your great-grandfather went there). You support who you want. However, like I said, what is the purpose of wearing a non-USF shirt on campus? What's the message? What's the point? I would never wear a Duke shirt on USF's campus or a USF event... the same thing if I was at Duke. I give respect to that university and the people who attend/work/teach at that school. It's a slap in the face wearing/showing school colors of another university on campus. I will continue to call out people who do it. I’m not in the minority, nor is UCF (ask them). Sorry, but you’re in the minority with this subject. USFan, I've got a question for you. Not coming at you or anything, just an honest curiosity: Now that you attend Duke, do you ever wear USF gear on campus? I ask because that's always been my criticism to the "never ever wear another school's clothing on campus" camp: I realize ht's not the situation of the young lady that wrote the article, but I've got degrees from two universities and now work at a third. I've got all sorts of fan material from both of my alma maters in my office at work, and occasionally wear their paraphernalia to work following a big achievement or before a big game or something to show support. When I attended USF, the same applied for my undergrad institution, and as I put it then, I wish a mfka WOULD tell me there was something wrong with that. Just curious if you're repping for the Bulls--even on campus--in Durham.

The headline was off by one letter/word. It should read: "A Bull wearing a Gators shirt is still Bull!"

When I went to school, both honors and AP were 5.0, and those who were taking AP were doing so for their own benefit/future college credit (imagine that!) I do know, however, that they had to do something with the calculation of GPA because some students would refuse to take any extra-curricular classes (band, choir, etc.) because no honors credit was available for them and heaven forbid someone get JUST a 4.0! :

I think what's erroneous is not that >4.0 grades exist, but that they are stated (whether explicit or implied) that they are on a 4.0 scale. It would make sense if it said "4.5 on a 5.0 scale" or even "4.25 on a 4.5 scale" if a 4.5 would be the highest attainable GPA (as with a student with half AP classes and half regular classes).

Wish I could claim it... I've only seen it on about a million fraternity rush shirts. Nonetheless, I felt it needed to be added to the conversation. ;D

USF: We've upped our standards, so up yours.
