79 Bull

Why are they so hell bent on being IA if they can't get the fan support?  Pursuing this in the courts is ridiculous.

I would hope the team expects to win every game they play.

Exactly my point....and I hope they stay away from this board this season.

They should maybe spend that money on fixing the scoreboards ........

Agreed - this has been my pet peeve (sp?) about the dome.

Just shut down two of the scoreboards so they can use the good bulbs from those to replace the bad bulbs on the other two.  This situation has to be dealt with before we have our first BE home game.

Nice to know Brian Swift has expectations higher than most of us.

What are some of the team goals you have for the 2004-05 season?

This season I want our team to win 20 games, which we feel is very possible. Also I want us to get to the conference tournament, and ultimately the NCAA tournament.

SCB, where you the only Bulls fan there?  Any players' families or other alums?

BULLS

20

Leather 26

Jones 11

You put those horrible teams in Miami and the ushers would out number the fans .........

Kinda like a Rays game.

SC favored by 14.

Yeah, you would think at least 2 of our 3 would be the CUSA teams just because of history and maintaining the old BE rivalries.

Flipping channels and caught a bit of the Notre Dame - Depaul game.  Heard the announcers say that ND's 3 BE mirror games were set for next year as Depaul, Pitt and another - had kids yelling and did not catch it.

Have any BE AD's or officials spilled the beans on the mirror games?  Apparantly ND has.  I think we need Howie's searching talent to see what he can find.

Mirrors us in 2 ways:

******** about the Forum owners sounds like our Bulls vs. Glazers threads.

Complaining about the season tix owners in sold out sections not showing up - no butts in seats (see Sundome sections E1 & P1 threads).

Leather - 21 points

Noon - WFTS-ABC in Tampa.

1.  The Bulls to be 8-2 on Christmas morning.

2.  Going to Outback - TV for UL-BSU, PITT-UT, AUB-VT & USC-OK.

3.  Colgate with baking soda, peroxide and mint - there is no substitute.

4.  Cingular.

5.  Long sleeve green Bulls T.

Does WFTS show all their Saturday games in HD?  It would be sweet to see the Bulls up close and personal.

BTW: The away games that I travel to, they're tied directly to locale. If I'm going to burn a vacation day, there better be something better than Hattiesburg, Fort Worth, Louisville, or Cincinnati to warrant the expense.

You ever been to Syracuse?  I'm not sure I would burn a vacation day for that.

Ok...everyone's throwing out a lot of  "do something...do more" stuff relative to marketing, but I don't recall hearing too many specific ideas.

What would you suggest?

There are 6 billboards on Dale Mabry on stadium property.  All 6 have Bucs BS on them - 108,000 waiting, home schedule, etc.  THOUSANDS of people drive by their EVERYDAY and have no clue the Bulls play there.

The Bucs do not need that advertising as all their games are sold out.  I have suggested this before and will again - get the Bucs to "donate" 3 of the billboards to advertise the Bulls schedule, ticket phone number, etc.  The Bucs will get a net gain from this because more fans at Bulls games mean more money in their pocket and they can probably write off the billboards as a donation to USF.

In the least, the TSA could put up an Events sign listing upcoming events like they did for the old stadium.

Do you all agree with that 12,000 number?  Seems like I would have noticed if there were only 12,000 seats full.  Maybe they counted in the 4th quarter?

They don't "count" people.  The actual attendance comes from the scan/turnstile counts as people enter the stadium.  This is the method that the NCAA has established to meet the new minimum requirement.

You guys have a disaster prevention and recovery initiative?

Very impressive - sounds like something a fortune 500 would pursue.

They have updated the schedule on the website!  Maybe the athletic dept is paying attention to this board or it's just coincidence?

Sorry if this was on here elsewhere, but..

Holmes is from Michigan.  I guess Saturday is a sort of homecoming.  I wonder if he will have a contingent of family and friends at the game.

Per Sagarin today, Michigan would be favored by 10 points.
