79 Bull

It is still listed live PPV on Directv 781 for $30:

9/18 Directv Schedule

USC ticket director Chris Massaro said he initiated the calls to both schools, agreeing to a one-year contract with South Florida with a guaranteed payout of $450,000 and a two-year deal with Troy for $400,000.

Ticket director??

I hope that is a misprint - we always got on LRS for the schedule - maybe we should be getting on our ticket director!

Brings a tear to my eye

Me too - especially seeing Bulls on the field and fans in the upper deck!

The CUSA championship game is listed for Brighthouse Tampa channel 802.  This is Fox Sports Pacific (go figure) on their digital sports pack.

Still rain delay at 2:00 - they are showing USF-DePaul tape now on channel 802.

I'm surprised they have committed to play their biggest in-conference rival the first game of the season for future years.

One of the best things about this situation is that there will be numerous replays shown during the Miami-FSU game on ABC because we are the only other game that day.  That will be great exposure especially if we win.

from what is above.  It is now:

is this a rumor you all are starting or has it been mentioned that the game could be moved to sunday?  I have heard monday, but not sunday.

April 14 St. Pete Times:

MORE TV TIME?: USF's season opener against Pittsburgh could be picked up by ESPN and moved from Sept. 4 to Sept. 6, Labor Day, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported. The game would be played in the afternoon before the FSU-Miami game. ESPN spokesman Mike Humes said the Pitt-USF game is among a large pool being considered for ESPN or ESPN2. It also could be moved to Sept. 5, and as part of the deal another USF game would be broadcast by ESPN, possibly Oct. 2 vs. Southern Miss.

It might be interesting to see what the situation is at Heinz field in terms of timing and cost, since they have a similar situation except the advantage of common team colors.

This was discussed last year and I believe since they have the same colors and name that Pittsburgh is in gold in each end zone and they simply repaint the logo in the center of the field for each game similar to our U over the white Bucs flag.

I feel a "why can't we replace the turf and paint our logos everywhere" thread about to break out!

The article didn't mention that there would be a date change for the USM game as part of the deal, so unless I hear otherwise I'm presuming it remains the same.

I don't believe that ESPN has ever shown a CUSA game on a Saturday - have they?

Make the deal so we get to play USM on ESPN!  ;D

ESPN would not show USF-USM on a Saturday.  The game would probably move to Friday or Thursday as part of this deal - more schedule juggling and lower attendance.

See all the CFN Landmine games

Don't believe the schedules allow an away game for either of those yrs.  Bulls are already going to PSU in 2005 and Auburn in 2006 me thinks.

If UCF counts as the CUSA game, then we are okay in one of these 2 years scheduling another away game.  It would have to be the year that we have only 3 away BE games instead of 4.
