If anyone still needs tix, you can PM me with name and email.

Same here. I can only do this to about 1pm. After that I'll be unavailable due to having a race in Punta Gorda. That's why I had to miss this gaame

I also have 6 available for anyone who can use them.  My group and I had some things come up where we are unable to attend. 

Below is the link to the ticket thread I started.  I should have started it in this section.  It turns out these are just normal general admission tickets but hopefully someone can use them.

I’m not sure we actually get assigned seats. Last time I went, the tickets were numbered, but you really didn’t get specific seats. All GA. 

Yeah last year was a section I believe but I'm wondering due to the anticipation of the crowd they are trying to do seats.  I know last year they opened the baseball field and I'm pretty sure they were streaming on the big screen but I'm not 100% sure about that.

So unfortunately, my group as well as my friend and his son now all have obligations that preclude us from going to the Spring Game this Saturday.  As a longtime season ticket holder (15+years), I got these tickets when they were first announced and had full intentions of going as this is the first Spring Game I'll miss in about 5 years.

Anyway, I can transfer them to anyone who can use them.  I know how to do it on Google Wallet but not sure how else to transfer them so if you know a way, let me know and I'll send them.

Go BULLS!!!

I've been to about 6 of the bowl games but the two most memorable were both the Charlotte games. 

Definitely wanted to be at the first bowl game ever and while we didn't win, it was a great experience.  It seemed about 5k USF fans and 60K NC State fans.  It was kinda fun being the enemy and everyone you saw in green was your new friend if you weren't friends already. 

What also made this trip unique was we did it Smokey and the Bandit style.  My friend and I (another USF grad) had to work til midnight at the USPS plant in St Pete and we left straight from work.  Got to Bojangles off I-75 in Charlotte for breakfast, tailgated, watched the game and made it back to my friend's New Year's Eve Party in Brooksville just before midnight....like I said, Smokey and the Bandit style as the game ended just after 3pm or so.

The second Charlotte bowl game against Clemson was Smokey and the Bandit part II.  This time I was already up in the area as I flew to a friend's house in Atlanta and stayed the night.  The next day we drove to Charlotte to enjoy the bowl festivities the night before the game with other Bulls fans.  I believe the bowl game ended sometime around 330pm-ish because directly from this game, we drove south as fast as we could back to Atlanta to try and catch the 7:30pm kickoff for #19 FSU vs #23 South Carolina in the Chik-Fil-A Bowl.  We ended up missing about half of the first quarter but it was pretty cool doing two bowl games in a day.

....... Now with the NIL if we get a player like Flowers or Mack they’d just leave for more nil money. 

Like they did last year with Battie.  I would also say Horn and Weaver but I'm thinking they left more to play on an up and coming Colorado team knowing they would get more eyes and attention.  They are being proven right.

No circular jerks on these premises, please.

....speaking of...I'm actually going to see them, NOFX, Pennywise, Less than Jake (Gainesville ska band) and the almighty Sick of it All on 09.30.2023 at Central Florida Fairgrounds....they put on a great show!

Defense.

 

Individual game balls:  Daquon Evans

Absolutely!  This guy was everywhere doing everything.  That pass deflection was a thing of beauty amongst his many other great plays.

The scary thing is, and probably due to the thoughts of losing Weaver/Horn/Battie, my friend jokingly said, "We need to take him out of the game" otherwise Saban will walk over at halftime and say, "How would you like to come play for Alabama next year?"

I guess this is just how it will be from now on, sort of like with coaches.  We are happy when they do well but often it will mean that they get poached to go up to the next level of program.

GOLD!!!!

like one in a million chance?

....I still don't think you get it.  I don't care if you get it.  It's not hard to understand.  

The way you just said that is so funny.

I can literally empathize with you and can picture your frustration building up because it reminds me of how most of my conversations with my father end; either said by him or me.

.... I would have hated to see USF star QB BB get the shaft if USF would have hired Sanders 

This was my biggest concern if we were to have gotten Deion here.

…yea skyline chili sucks

To each their own I guess.  I have a craving every couple of months for it as I really love it...especially with the habanero cheese.

Its funny though because I have several friends that love it and also several that hate it.  I can't think of any food that is so polarizing as Skyline Chili.  I personally don't know anyone who just thinks its ok although I'm sure they're out there.

I kept thinking the same thing on the one where he chose to run instead of pass. 

Too many times, at all levels of football, when given the opportunity most players want to throw to be the hero and try to force a play.  Was very impressed with his decision making based on that play.

Bohannon is head and shoulders above Timmy.

I'm not quite so sure he's leaps and bounds better.  I was and still am enthusiastic about having him here but from what I've seen so far, he doesn't seem to check down very much and locks in on the first WR target and lets it rip.  He did it in the game against BYU and I saw more of it during this game.

Also, I love/hate the deep throw he had late in the game but even that was double coverage...the WR made an exceptional catch on a dangerous throw that could've ended up with bad results.

I still have hope for Bohannon and am glad we have him....just not so sure about the leaps and bounds assessment.

One of the funniest things I remember about players who wore "Zeros" was in regards to Kevin Duckworth of the Portland Trailblazers.

I remember seeing on TV someone in the stands had a sign that said "How much is a Duck worth?, 00"

I also remember Noah Johnson wore #0 a few years back.  I remember watching him and being impressed from the limited time I got to see him play.

I'll be picking up the 1.75 instead of the 750 then....

Just go with Jagermeister and you can knock it down to a 500.....or even less

Several good ones but especially liked Nichols as he was so fun to watch. 

I really thought he was going to make it big in the NFL.  Seems as though he is having success in the CFL and helped the Winnipeg Blue Bombers win the Grey Cup last year so there is still some time left to make that jump if the opportunity arises.

D'Ernest Johnson end-around for a TD and he isn't even on the field.

As of right now, auction #110 is going for $350 and auction #116 going for $270.

Same helmet with the primary difference being that #116 has Jeff Scott's signature on it.  However, once you click on the picture of #110, it does say signed by Jeff Scott so not quite sure if they potential bidders know this.

Anyway, It will be interesting to see what the final total of each of these are but I think its curious that bidders would rather have one without Scott's signature than with it.

How long have you been deaf?

Deafness is becoming a problem from me from all the metal/punk/hardcore shows over the years......

......wow, never thought I'd hear myself say that! 

I vote for Bulls Anthem by my absolute favorite band Sick of It All.  Some of the most energetic live shows you will ever see!

I enjoyed complaining about the concession prices.  

Me too and also about the mobile tickets only with no paper tickets.
