Those are big statements and you are exactly right Ricky. Recruits that would have gone to UT or elsewhere will now be coming to USF because of Prado. I can't wait to see USF baseball, especially down the not-so-far road when we have a better stadium.

I think someone was just trying to add a little rhythm to the pre-game show.

It's not about the turnaround. I am sure the Outback Bowl budgets for the paint cost. It is about the money and the control the Glasers have over the stadium operations. I for one am with you Matt. It would be nice to see it painted for USF with it being on national TV against a ranked opponent with the Bucs having a bye week.

hopefully with this pitiful passing attack and Tucker hurt, we can stack the line of scrimmage and contain the running game and win this one.

I did after I downloaded the 5 songs. It wasn't much but hopefully I can do more later.

I will not be attending the AA tailgate either. A core group of the BBers will be staying at the Doubletree in Durham and probably tailgating there.

I say 7. I trulu Bullieve we will beat Cincy, Syracuse, and Uconn. That is 6 wins right there. I also truly bullieve that we will beat either Pitt or Rutgers giving us the 7th win. And you know what, if we don't, oh well. I will be there cheering for them anyway and know that this team will be dominating the next 2-3 years with Grothe and should only get better when we start recruiting bigger names.

What the heck happened to Nick. I never heard any injury report on him until now. What did I miss?

Very good. I remember you. If you can make it out, our next Pinellas chapter meeting is Tuesday, October 2nd at the Chili's on East Bay and US 19 at 6 pm. We are in the back room.

Very good. I do remember that table because I almost forgot to get to you. Were you the couple sitting closest to the plasma tv or the other end of that table?

I added my vote. A few times.

amie_abull, did you make it to Capogna's? I tried to meet at many people as possible and might have met you and didn't even bring up The Bullspen.com.

twilly, my buddy, and USF alum and season ticket holder, owns Elmer's on Mac Dill just south of Gandy Blvd on the east side. If you go in there I am sure he will put it on for you. Ask for Randy and tell him Gene sent you. If he is not there, they should have enough tv's to accomodate you. Good wings and usually a good place to hang out. Bullsmania, Thanks! I'll have to check it out! Not sure if you made it out there twilly. I found out that Randy was out of town and his bar got broken into earlier in the morning after the Friday closing. Hopefully you went and had a good time.

Not quite sure who you are calling but I called Amebel and ordered 8 tickets today for UNC so I know she is in the office. Eric is out today.

I feel the right decision was made to go for it with the momentum we had on that drive, but again, just like last years UCONN game, the wrong call was made.

Kevin, try and stop by the Alumni tailgate in Lot 6D. the Pinellas Chapter is hosting the alumni tent that night. Although we will not be providing food, feel free to stop by and say "hi" and bring your own tailgate if you want.

Thanks freak. Nice to meet you and your wife. We are glad you came over and even more glad you will be making more trips over. I got to meet a few other board members and we always talk about getting stickers so we can wear them with our screen names. Hopefully we can remember so one of these parties people can put faces with screen names.

smazza, I disagree. I think when someone calls someone a name like "a-hole" then it does become personal. And ET, your optimism will never grow old my friend.

Actually Dean, we had closer to 90 people. And I think Elmer's would be a good location for South Tampa, but the problem is you need someone willing to commit to being there and hosting it and getting up and talking to people and giving away prizes. It's not just enough to say"Hey, Press box is a good place to meet." Management needs to be involved, they need to see that the people will come and spend the money. Don't forget, Capogna's did not go all out like this until they say the results. I am sure there were a few unhappy Gaytur fans last night but Capogna's knew that all those Bulls fans were spending money and having a good time and will come back. Heck, I met people from Grothe's home town who work with his mom and came over here because Polk county didn't have a watch party. They passed through Tampa to come to Capogna's.

2003 Alabama 2004 South Carolina 2005 Penn State, UM, Bowl Game 2006 UCF, UNC (planned) Hopefully another bowl game this year. Next year will be road trip heaven with FIU, FAU and Auburn. Definitely the UF games when they roll around and any away games to UCF, FIU and FAU and any of the southern states.

Ok, well I lost my modify button. I meant to say that if Randy is there it will be on.

twilly, my buddy, and USF alum and season ticket holder, owns Elmer's on Mac Dill just south of Gandy Blvd on the east side. If you go in there I am sure he will put it on for you. Ask for Randy and tell him Gene sent you. If he is not there, they should have enough tv's to accomodate you. Good wings and usually a good place to hang out.

Quit smoking crack.

I agree. This is the kind of event the bullbackers would like to eventually host so feel free to start making some inquiries and we will help you any way we can. Obviously, this would mirror something like Tiger Bay events where the cost would be cheaper for members.

Nice picture Mike. Nice shot Brit. Sorry Brandon, not gonna give a guy props! Love the publicity we are getting on SI on campus.
