Hell, they got turned away last year.

So is this finally the year they should charge?  $25 for a seat, $10 for the grass and 500 students for free??

Anyone not using one of their club tickets tomorrow night.  I'm on my own for this one.  Thanks guys!

Serious question...Is Corbett going to be big enough for the most anticipated Spring game in years?  If people show up in droves and get turned away, I guess that's a good problem to have except for those who couldn't get in.

Would be great if finished by then. Excellent way to sell season tix.

New date in article is March 2027.

Spring game first event in OCS April 2027!  Should be packed.

Took our Bulls +6.5.

Looks like the ladies are back on track.

GO BULLS!

Bally Sports (Diamond Corp) is attempting to sign a deal with Amazon to show all their properties (mostly MLB and NHL) on Prime.  If that happens and Prime subs increase, I can see Amazon getting into sports in a bigger way.

That being said, downtown St Pete is lightyears ahead of where downtown Tampa is as far as nightlife.

I'm going to respectfully disagree.  I would have said that about St. Pete a couple years ago, but Tampa has now closed the gap.  It's just a bit more spread out.  So many bars and restaurants on, or a short walk from the Riverwalk and streetcar line, Water Street, Sparkman, etc.  The Rays should be in Ybor at the end of the channel.

CFN has us at #67 in their 2024 early rankings.  Any others?

Sorry, but please humor me.  I've got 2 extra tickets for Demetri Martin at the Hard Rock at Universal City Walk for this Saturday night.  4th row just off center.  I paid $102 all in for both (not each) and that's what I'd like to get.  Please DM me if interested. I can transfer the tickets to you upon a Zelle or PayPal payment.  I'm also listing these on StubHub so let me know if you're interested so I can cancel those.  Thanks guys.

So fun to watch once again!

Surprised nobody has mentioned anything about another passing of a long time Bulls advocate, Martin Fennelly last Friday. 

I liked Fennelly's rough edges.

The words and life of Martin Fennelly were a gift to all in Tampa Bay

John Romano | The acclaimed sports columnist for the Times and Tribune passed away on Friday at the age of 65.

Bowers hired Rose just when the planets were aligning for USF basketball.  The Sun Dome was brand new with the entire first level student seating called the Rose Garden.  I think his teams just fed off that enthusiasm for the first few years.  His last 2 years he went only 11-17 (39%) in the Sun Belt.

Just a reminder once again...

There are only 2 teams in all of college football that were once in a Px/BCS conference and are not in one now:  USF and UConn.  Wash St and Oregon St will join this pity party soon.  We can hash over the past and bad decisions but need to find a way forward to not be left out of the substantial tv money in the next network/streaming deals.  I like what we're doing with the OCS, facilities and getting back to winning form, but will it be enough?

Thanks John. My thought was putting it by the center and soccer field so more folks would see it going to the YC, soccer, baseball and softball. Not nearly as many eyeballs down church row.

East-West orientation seems to be working fine for Houston, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia, North Carolina, Oklahoma State and Oregon.  I think the main reason is to provide more shade on the home/south side for fans and the team.

They need to put a sign 10 times that size next to the athletic building.

GO BULLS!

Women’s passing is horrible, slow and late.  I’m surprised ECU isn’t getting more steals.

Goach and team just came out with bowl trophy. HUGE response from a big crowd.

WAY more people here than I thought!

We beat #10 Memphis so USF>VA.

Now to the important stuff, anyone know what the buffet is tomorrow?

It's going to be such a bad atmosphere there as it is going to be empty.   I know it was probably out of their control, but scheduling a game on Gasparilla.   

Have to agree.  I think Gasparilla cuts the student crowd to almost zero and the usual suspects by 1/4 to 1/3.  Also, the Bolts are playing at 7pm.  Try to get to that game on time.

Never assume a ticketmaster map shows what is available. While some places open most seats up, most places will only open up what they want you to buy at that moment. 

I get it, used to work in the ticket biz.  But why would USF not want you to buy anything for the FAU game 2 weeks ago when all other future games had a lot of availability?  Doesn't make sense.
