Thanks to all the Orlando area Bulls for stopping by last night. By far our best turnout ever in Orlando. The Bulls Club and Alumni Association appreciate your support and as all our Coach's emphasized last night....Do Something! Eric

The press conference to formally introduce Coach Taggart is open to the public. It will begin at 4 p.m. in the Big East Room of the Lee Roy Selmon Athletic Center. Please feel free to join us. Thanks as always. Eric

Just a suggestion from someone who raises money for a living and I applaud your efforts and willingness to stand up for a cause, but people can be a little hesitant to donate money through a message board. I might suggest utilizing a sight like giveforward.com or other similar sights where you can provide information that will answer people questions and it also provides a place for people to go to give. They might feel more comfortable and it might raise more money. Just a suggestion but if you'd like any other assistance, I'd be more than willing to meet with you in person. I am on campus of course. Again, I applaud your efforts and willingness to be involved! Eric

A poorly run one! I thought you were just going to donate to SBC? What does that have to do with pointing out that the website's purchase function is still not working? It is working now. Please use this link: http://www.imagedepottampa.com/RockyRag/ Eric

Hi everyone: We've corrected the issue but please use this link to purchase them. http://www.imagedepottampa.com/RockyRag/ Thanks. Eric

There is an option to pick up at Image Depot of Tampa on Fowler Ave. as well and avoid the shipping costs. Eric The online purchase is not working. In store pick up isn't a viable option unless you are in the area. They should sell them before the game in the stadium parking lots. It seems to be working again, at least it did for me. Eric

Hi everyone: I just wanted to chime in on the Rocky's Rag concept and cost. The SBC board, current USF students, worked over a period of about 12 months to come up with ideas that could be long lasting that everyone could participate in. The looked at many different designs and towels and this is what they felt would be marketable to the largest number of people. The cost is where it is because it's a little nicer towel and we didn't have the option of buying a large number of them up front. These are pretty much being made when ordered. SBC is funded by their memberships ($25 per student) and gifts from other alumni, former SBC members, and sponsors. We hope you'll consider helping these students who took the initiative to develop this concept by purchasing one or more of these. Thanks so much for all each of you do. Go Bulls! See you Saturday at 2 p.m.! Eric

And join SBC for 50 priority points!

Just a reminder that Tuesday, May 15th is a deadline for two very important things. First, it is the deadline to make your annual Bulls Club gift. We certainly appreciate all of your support. You can make your gift online at www.MyBullsClub.com. If you have difficulty with our online system, please call the Bulls Club offices. Secondly, it is the deadline to opt in for 2013 men's or women's basketball season tickets. If you don't opt in by May 15th, you will not be a part of the initial reseating process. Even if you are just considering buying 2013 men's or women's basketball season tickets, you should opt in. There is no obligation to purchase until it comes time to select seats. More information on the reseating can be found at www.MyBullsClub.com or in the thread currently being discussed on this board. Thanks again everyone. Go Bulls! Eric

RTB: We won't probably offer any airfare packages. Everyone can find cheaper airfare than if we did a charter. These will be our only packages for Nevada. Eric

Just a couple quick notes on this: the club seats will require a minimum $2,000 contribution while the 7 rows beneath the loge suites will require a $1,000 contribution. You can see a lot of this information as well as access the form to request season tickets at www.MyBullsClub.com. Eric

Hey everyone: If you are concerned about transportation, check out our travel packages at http://bullsclub.usf.edu/bullsclub/travel.asp. We provide bus transportation to and from the game. And again just because I want everyone to know that their are a lot of people that work on the road game tailgates that they are not the Alumni Association Tailgates, they are the USF Tailgates. They are a team effort of Central Development staff, Alumni Association and the Bulls Club. Eric

I won't be playing...someone has to be sure you guys have fun and play within the rules. Consider me the Around the Horns Commissioner. But if that is a challenge I can probably arrange to stack a team or two to give you some competition.

It went very well.

We may have to put in a special handicapping system for your stacked team. ;D Eric

You are pretty safe up until a week or so out. Unless of course we sell out which we haven't as of yet as we conitnue to brand these events. Eric

NFL Europe team. They practice here every year. Eric

Correct on all accounts above. Spring game tickets are going out to season ticket holders next week. The bowl game tickets were sent certified. 2007 season tickets will be mailed in August. Eric

Can't say I've ever had the pleasure of eating at Maryland Fried Chicken in Plant City. Perhaps you and I will have a prospecting lunch in the Plant City area sometime in the near future.

Winner winner chicken dinner!

2009... and I think all of those tix are sold through the NCAA.  Could be wrong, tho. http://www.ncaasports.com/basketball/womens/schedules I thought I kept seeing ads during the broadcasts this year. We are hosting the Women's Final Four next year as well. We probably won't have the same opportunity though as the Final Four tends to sell out well ahead of time.

$1 million. ;D I honestly don't have that information. It will be in your hands in the next 10-14 days and all the answers to your questions that I don't have will be revealed! Eric

All donors, men's basketball, women's basketball and football season ticket holders will get this offer. Your seat will be based on your giving level and priority point total. The same way we rank you for bowl seating, BIG EAST Basketball Tournament, etc. Eric

It will be a maximum of 8 tickets per person. That is an NCAA mandate. The USF sections have yet to be determined but they will be better than you can get as a general public purchaser. Eric
