Want to be clear.  We will keep our commitment to the 1/4 million dollar policy as tempting as it is to not do so. We try hard to keep our word and will.  But all other support is on the table. Fortunately USF Athletics is filled with great people and great coaches.  WBB coach JF, golf coach SB, Men's Soccer Coach BB are keeping us from bailing.  Hoping to get to know baseball coach BM better but Lelo and Kingston were both great.  And some former Bulls Club employees talked us down from the ledge and, rightfully, pointed out that what we do is supporting the student athletes. But we do feel disrespected at times.  It is a very small thing but we noticed this year that they don't run the names of Iron Bulls on those corner video boards any longer.  

Hang in there BB.  This program needs about 2k more folks like you.  Maybe one day soon I'll get there.

Thanks for what you do, Bourbon. We met you in Chicago at the tailgate before the ND game, and you're bourbon fan! Gotta keep ya around.

Is Harlan a people person? Does he rub people the wrong way? I certainly think he is not open to criticism which is a major managerial issue. 

I think he's a "certain people" person.  

Apparently I'm not one of them. He got a little snippy with me. But then. Who doesn't? LOL

He did the same with me when I gave him a  complaint. Later he blocked me on Twitter. Oh well, maybe I will do better with the next guy...

FWIW, Harlan has been nice to me and our tail gate group over the years. He came over and spoke with us a few times in Lot 6. Also, he was very nice to us at the Bulls Rally at Capogna's.

Clearly you've never "challenged" him. Try it sometime, might be fun to watch the personality change like a switch has been thrown.

Asked him about OCS and BIG12 and he kind of gave the impression that both are real possibilities. Not sure what else I can challenge him on as I believe those are the two most important issues with the program.
