Some of those people suffer from a special kind of stupid. That being said, some great entertainment!

at least now we know we are doing better, which is nice to see!

2 months ago I bought a ticket at "The Hotel" in Vegas for USF to win it all with 250/1 odds... looks like we are moving up :-)

Not to beat a dead horse, but marketing could have avoided this whole fiasco by simply giving season ticket holders "First right of refusal" to buy lower level seat BEFORE offering them for purchase thru the "Block purchase" option. Loyalty to those who pay a little more, should always be the way to go. I think it's fair to say that if marketing called ANY of us on this board and said "hey, just wanted to see if you wanted 2 extra lower level tickets for the FSU game before we released them for sale, most of us would have jumped on it..." little things go a long way... maybe some people would have sold them, some of us NEED them, and some would have simply given them to others to try and bring them to a big, fun college football game for the first time... whatever would have happened, it would have been the season ticket holders who would have controlled most of the tickets for this game! lesson learned... hopefully they read this and try something like this for the next big one! Go Bulls!

Lynch Mob shirts just waiting to be made for this year!

Question is WHO would we like to play to add to our OOC, to give us some marque games to look forward to? I say (in no particular order) my top 10 dream teams would be Georgia USC LSU Michigan Oregon Ok St Oklahoma Alabama Texas ND Any of these games would be a blast either neutral site OR road game...

Would be cool to find a "Sponsor" to put something on like this for either home or away games... always great to have as many bulls fans in one place for a party!

Looks like they are using it as a promotion for 98.7 radio station... hopefully this will put more butts in seats!

My wife (who is a FSU alumni) got this emailed to her... few things stick out, sponsored by Seminole Hard Rock and the claim that it's the biggest one ever for FSU!

3 seats section 209 row V (row might be changing this year) can't wait!!

any self respecting school should say no to such an offer...

anybody have a link to the ESPN(U) story?

your number 1 to us... :-)

Hope he gets another shot after he heals... Always a Bull!!

Hopefully the word gets out and USF fans start to take advantage of this opportunity to buy NOW, and not let FSU fans buy them all up... (I do know that some of the groups got tickets in the 200's, which SUCKS!!)

I don't understand that at all. USF Football â€@USFFootball8 Jun In meeting on 2012 ticketing, sounds like the only way to get a lower bowl seat for FSU on Sept. 29 will be with a season ticket. Reply RetweetedRetweet Delete FavoritedFavorite The "buy hundreds of tickets in groups" was probably just the typical visting team allotment. THey get the one section in the lower bowl and then how ever many else they need in the 300s behind them. FSU fans certainly did not have the opportunity to buy "hundreds" or tickets for the game. Unless of course they dished out the money for season tickets, because $100-200 season tickets in lower bowl is still not too bad to go to a typical FSU game. My understanding was they got 5000 tickets alloted, plus ANYBODY could buy tickets in-groups of 20 or more for the FSU game for 80 dollars which includes another game of there choice... needless to say, people have been buying huge groups of tickets, and very few lower bowl seats remain (being held for season tickets) what's upsetting is they didn't really advertise this to the general public, making the casual fans unaware of this option... needles to say expect a ton of FSU fans, and some upset USF fans waiting for single game tickets only to find out upper level is pretty much it... (lots of upper level have been sold as well) Hopefully USF ticket office will clarify shortly.

Greg Auman â€@gregauman USF reserve cornerback Ricardo Dixon, limited by injuries in Bulls career, says via Twitter he won't be back with team for senior season

Right about now we usually hear an update as to where we are with numbers... anybody know if we are at least on pace with last year? On a side note, people are really struggling to get seats for the FSU game that aren't nose bleeds, which I would think means sales are on the up swing... Go Bulls!!

Rivals board has picked this up and is running with it... I'm sure we will hear something very shortly, as this won't stay a secret for long.

Oh crap... brace yourselves, this should be interesting.

I'm not upset with VH3. I'm upset with his father. If he doesn't believe USF is a school worth his own sons talent. How is he ever supposed to recruit 4 and 5 star players? good point!

Bill Parcels... Heck, he's done every other job in football!!

I'm looking forward to my "2-0" t-shirt... It's always about USF!
