Wow! There's a lot of morning people on this board.  My group's not leaving until late morning (maybe even noon).  I'm fine with it as long as we get there in time for some BBQ dinner and nightlife/drinks.

It's about a 10 hour drive so you should be able to hit the night life, but I don't know about the BBQ dinner.

See ya in b'ham!

Matt, put me and MikeG down for two seats please.

Wow!  That is great.  I thought for sure we were going to blow this one.  Last time I was able to listen, we were down 33-27 and Mattis had played every minute and was looking tired.  What a run!  Great job guys! And the girls are leading Villanova 60-44 with a minute left.

Thanks for the info Vicki.  Congrats Eric and Liisa!

Great job guys!  Way to represent!  

It is good to see this thread running along... Do we want to donate these tickets to the students in the name of  thebullspen.com  or via BullBackers or some other name or group???

Someone please give some feedback, is there a vehicle to make this work so students get them in their hands?  Did we not do something like this last year?  

Just curious.

Kevin, I think it is the intentions of the bullbackers to donate tickets in our name.  There should be a thread on our board.  Check it out.  

I take it that we will be bringing up whatever is left to the game itself in Craig's truck?

I don't think so Mike.  From what I remember him telling me there is only one contracted vendor up there.  He has the license to make the product to sell here, but not there.  At least, not legally.  But he would probably get in a lot of trouble if anyone found out they were selling up there.  

Also, I am sure Craig will use the correct color scheme when it comes to making the t-shirt.  Relax.  

Much of that may be the same for the bowl game, but I wouldn't count on all of it being the same...especially stuff like prices and the like.

Good point.  They will probably jack the prices up for a bowl game.

**** that Rutgers game!

ANCHOR BOY STRIKES AGAIN!   A CRUISE WITH THE WIFE OVER THE BULLS?  YOU ARE FREAKING KIDDING ME!   ;D

Wait a minute, isn't this the only game you could have made because of a trip?

38-33 to number 18 Michigan State.

1. Be honest here (your spouse is not reading this) as the holidays approach what are you looking forward to the most?     Christmas vacation, fresh New Year, or Bull's Road Trip to Bowl

Bull's Road trip.  Since the spouse is not reading.

2.  If you could sit down with a stud RB recruit right now how would you sell them on USF?

You can start and make history at USF.  Play a full 4 years and re-write the record books, like Grothe will be doing.

3.  Of all the BCS bowls which would you like our Bulls to attend in the future? Why?

I like Doug's answer, The Rose Bowl, but I will take any BCS at this point since it means we won the BE.  That would be near future hopefully.

4. If hollywood makes a movie about our Bulls who would they have play the Jimbo?

I am going to agree with outrunner here.  It will probably be someone new on the scene with a lot of emotion and edge to him so he can truly capture the spirit of Jim.  Of course, I think we should all be contacted first for extras in the stands.

5.  If Andre were still a Bull this year what bowl would we be going to this year?

Whichever BCS bowl takes the BE winner.

By the time he got to the Bull Ring last night, his tie was askew, shirt unbuttoned and he was slapping soldiers on the ass!   ;D ;D ;D

****, Jim.  You weren't supposed to see that!   ;D

He looks like he actually belongs on the bench.  Any thoughts on a career change, Gene??

No, but I would like to keep my seat on the bench.  Maybe I can go back sometime.  The coaches and the girls are great to hang out with.  

They failed to mention what a great job the coach on the bench, bullsmania, did tonight to guide them to this win.   ;D

Thanks for the pic Mike.  Can't wait to see the rest.

I had a great time.  I highly recommend this to anyone that gets the chance.  Even if you cannot make it out to all the basketball games, win one of these auctions and take the night off if you have to.  Not only is it fun, but you get a different view of the game.  i will definitely do it again.  What a great way to spend money.  

I am not sure what tonight entails.  I am supposed to meet Andy at 6.  I know I will have fun and you don't have to tell me twice to keep quiet.  I am the last person to tell anyone of them what to do.  My speech would be "just keeping doing what you've been doing for the past 6 games."

I'll be there...GOOD LUCK GENE!!!

...oh...and Bull Ring afterwards.......

Thanks Brit.  oh...and if we win...you buy the first one!

how early you going over there? stopping by the Bull ring before hand perhaps?

I was thinking of more like afterwards.  Like Brad said, I could singlehandedly end this fund raising event if I am not careful.

I will be wearing the tie.

How much coaching do you actually get to do?  are you more of a gopher?  

Congrats on winning the auction, should be fun.

Thanks Robert.  I don't even think I am a gopher.  More like another person on a chair.  Maybe Jose will get mad at something and let me throw some paper on the ground like last week against Stetson.

Gene you do know you can't drink beer during the game when you sit on the bench?

What!  I did not see that disclaimer.  I figured since I am just an honoree coach, not an actual employee, and they sell beer in the dome, doesn't A+B=C?

I will be wearing the tie.

For those of you who can make it out to the women's game tonight, I will be the coach on the bench.  So come on  out and watch the girls post another victory and heckle me at the same time. ;D

Well, you guys have put this sport on my radar.  I know Erickson has always done a great job with his girls but if this is the season to watch, then I am a softbull supporter.  Thanks for the heads up Terry and Marc.
