  1. Thanks, Eric. I still say they didn't donate and buy 12 seats which is what they can sit in now. What is the difference if the person sitting next to them is the initial donor, someone they gave the tickets to, someone they donated the tickets to or a real fan who moves down in the second half? I just don't understand the lack of concern to fill the lower bowl with butts in seats so we look better to tv audiences, news cameras and recruits. I find it hard to believe a true fan and donor would object to having someone sit next to them that received the ticket/seat in some secondary manner. Thanks again for the responses.
  2. Hopefully these 11am games will throw Memphis and Pitt out of their rythym of arriving Friday afternoon and playing Saturday afternoon or night. I think these starts definitely benefit the home team (that would be da BULLS).
  3. Well, since you seem to have a talent for this, please pick USF to beat Memphis. And thanks for cutting down on the images in your signature.
  4. Thanks HP - that is the way it should be for the men also.
  5. ES, Are you guys investigating programs to deal with the lower bowl no shows? I know the pros work with their season ticket holders to help them resell tickets, donate the tickets, or anything else to get a butt in the seat. Also, any thoughts on letting other fans move down to empty seats with maybe 15 minutes left in the game? Especially sections E1 and P1 - they are always empty and must provide for a horrible atmosphere for the team. And maybe let anyone slide into H1 when the students are not on campus - the band looks lonely. Thanks for listening.
  6. Will womens bb play the same BE schedule as the men - 13 of 15 teams, 3 mirrors, etc?
  7. BULLS WIN! 19 points Swift - 18 points Leather - 14 rebounds 62% Bulleiver - you should add attendance as a final tiebreaker just for yucks.
  8. Big gold postcard comes in the mail today titled "Reminder!" with a note about the time change for the Memphis game. Marketing again blows an opportunity. The card is strictly about the time change. There is no mention of telling friends and co-workers about the game - USF driving for bowl eligibility - buy 4 additional tickets for only $40, etc. etc. They pay to send out at least 5,000 of these postcards and take no advantage of it. (BTW, Goldenbuc, that was the funniest Will Ferrell bit ever on SNL - laugh my ass off at that video)
  9. I have very fond memories of the Lee Rose era. SunDome was brand new and students had almost the entire first level - called the Rose Garden. Consistently drew 6,000 - 7,000 I believe. We kicked butt every year in the Florida Four tournaments against UF, FSU and Jacksonville.
  10. 1/2 of the PG won't make it in that early after a Friday night - they won't be able to deal with anything except taking money. That always happens with the Outback Bowl.
  11. Jocks and Jills in Atlanta actually showed the Bulls game? Did you have to ask for it or was it on?
  12. 1. How many points do you get for a 2 point conversion? 2. Blue 3. Not unless we can get a game at RayJay against them. 4. Diet Coke with lime. 5. Jax - leaving Saturday morning at 5:30am to make it to the game - In-Laws a bit PO'd.
  13. I wonder if we could do a 2 for 1 like this. At Miami 2005 At Tampa 2007 - another home game in 3 BE home game season At Miami 2009 or 2010
  14. I hope you guys are right about Memphis. Thanksgiving Saturday at 11:00 am - I think the place may be empty.
  15. That would be great, but would we cancel PSU? Only play 5 home games? etc. etc.
  16. Thanks - I placed my order! What is a tailgate without the baked beans?!
  17. In another post, Reaper said the band is all non scholarship. Is that true of most schools? I guess I assumed many in the band got partial scholarships one way or another.
  18. You could probably get cheaper flights to Columbus or Louisville and drive for a couple hours.
  19. 3 non-BCS teams in the BCS top 10. I love it, but I need to get the attitude and swagger of a BCS team and say it sucks.
  20. I hope it doesn't happen and I hate to say it, but I must agree.  If Spurrier tells JG and DW he wants to be their coach, they will drop CJL faster than (insert whatever cliche you like).  Spurrer's name would immediately double season tickets and donations in addition to a major impact on recruiting. Hell, the Big East would kick in dollars to make it work.
  21. This song is awful for a marching band and is getting old.  The words they decide to sing are the most depressing in the whole song - "Nothing really matters.  Anyone can see. Nothing really matters to me."  Cripe - you are supposed to be motivating and exciting the team and the fans. Leave the singing to the chorus.
