To my knowledge, the Rays are the only pro team that actually does an official thing with USF. That game in August where you get those USF themed TB rays caps (very cool by the way). I don't know what the logistics of it are. It may just be an alumni group thing, but it is something. Maybe that can grow into something more.

In recent past years, these 3 ingredients would be a guarantee for us to come out and lay a very ugly egg. But I feel much better about this team and this coaching staff.

I want to believe that. Probably no such thing as a guarantee. My guess is the big 12 cited that as a reason for not calling us up last time. Still a gamble, but it worked for the city of st. Pete way back when they built a baseball stadium without a team. USF is too great of a university to not have an on campus stadium, though. The stadium + AAU is huge game changer for our university.

Nominating this for a HOF post.

yes. I guess they were really 4 year "promises."

I'm so old, I can remember when multi-year contracts meant that you put in the work 4 years in exchange for tuition, books, room and board, meals, nutrition specialist, training program, personal trainer, occasional per diem money, pride in your chosen school, and eventually a degree. Not intended to place blame on anyone for what college sports has turned into...its all about the $$$. Just doesn't seem the same now when players chase the money like pros (and coaches do, too). I root for the name on the front of the jersey. Sad to hear CY doesn't want to play for USF anymore.

Yeah, this is a big deal for tailgating, and I hope its not overlooked. People are gonna have to pee. I've been at other campuses where some of the buildings are left open for restroom use, but the restrooms were completely abused and trashed. We don't want that. But having ample porta pottys available is probably the best thing about tailgating at ray jay.

Thanks. Nice stuff they have out there. Lots of Tampa Bay stuff. Also noted that sales of this hat (and all the other USF themed stuff) have a portion of the $ going to the Fowler Avenue Collective. I may pick one of these up.

Cool hat. EDGE with SOUTH FLORIDA . What's the story behind that? Is that this year's FB "slogan?" I haven't seen that one yet.

CFB needs an enema!

Gotta start somewhere! Bring it!

What a joke. Call their bluff and let the sec and big 10 break away to their own league. In 2 years, we can ask “ how’s that workin out for ya?”

Yes. We really needed the professional looking "office memo" with AAC letterhead to provide just a date with no other details. Classy.

This NET system sucks. As far as I can tell, its just a bunch of circular references. Just like the football rankings, it all depends on where you are (and your opponents are) rated before the season even begins.
